[Physical and mechanical properties of materials used in the technology of computer production of surgical templates]. / Fiziko-mekhanicheskie svoistva materialov, ispol'zuemykh v tekhnologii komp'yuternogo proizvodstva khirurgicheskikh shablonov.

OBJECTIVE: The physical and mechanical properties of samples printed from different materials subjected to post-processing in a clinic were evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Studied hardness and modulus of elasticity before and after sterilization by autoclaving. Based on the analysis of the literature and monitoring of the dental materials market, our choice fell on the most popular materials for 3D printing of surgical templates for dental implantation, such as: material 1 (FormLabs Dental SG Resin (Formlabs, USA)) and material 2 (NextDent SG (NextDent, Netherlands)). In connection with the events of recent years, we also took into the study a domestically produced polymer - material 3 (HARZLabs Yellow Clear PRO (HARZLabs, Russia)). RESULTS: As a result of the study, it was found that in each of the groups of materials studied, the values of the elastic modulus of sterilized samples are higher than the elastic modulus of samples that have not undergone sterilization. According to GOST 31572-2012 (ISO 1567:1999 Polymeric materials for denture bases, non-sterilized samples of group 2 are considered not to have passed the test, since all three samples of the studied group have a crack resistance index of less than 1 MN/m1.5. Crack resistance index of sterilized samples of the group of materials 2 is also close to 1. Samples of group 1 (both sterilized and non-sterilized) have the highest crack resistance. This group also has the highest flexural strength. On non-sterilized samples of material 1, there was no crack initiation along the cut and groove. The samples of other groups were mainly destroyed along the axis of the groove. CONCLUSION: Analyzing the obtained data and considering that all studies carried out were in accordance with dental standards, the researchers concluded that the increase in flexural strength after sterilization by autoclaving and the feasibility of using material 1 for the production of surgical templates in accordance with all manufacturer's recommendations.

[Ten-year activities of the Faculty for Training of Scientific and Pedagogical Personnel, I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy]. / 10-letnii opyt deiatel'nosti fakul'teta podgotovki nauchno-pedagogicheskikh kadrov Moskovskoi meditsinskoi akademii im. N.M. Sechenova.

With the assistance and direct participation of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy has developed and introduced an unique elitist educational system to train of scientific and pedagogical staff at the pre- and postdiploma training stages on the basis of their close relationships and continuity, within whose framework a specially designed faculty has been successfully operating for 10 years. The basic principle that ensures its effective activity and solution of many didactic problems is the individualization and differentiation of an educational process by using a great diversity of reserves and organizational forms. The created system is unique in Russian and foreign practice. It improves the quality of scientific and pedagogical staff training, promotes more effective creation of staff reserves for the departments of higher educational establishments and research institutes of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

[Surgical sepsis-definition of the notion. Problems of terminology]. / Khirurgicheskii sepsis-opredelenie poniatiia. Voprosy terminologii.

The problems of terminology are discussed, as well as classification and definition of sepsis. Comparative analysis of traditional for our country and up-to-date foreign classifications is carried out. The criteria for diagnosis of sepsis are discussed. On the basis of 20-year experience in examination and treatment of patients with sepsis, the authors set forth their own stand, suggesting two varieties of sepsis for consideration: common complication of surgical infection, a rare disease.

[General pathology--an independent medical discipline]. / Obshchaia patologiia--samostoitel'naia meditsinskaia distsiplina.

Recognition of general pathology as an independent discipline is urgent at this stage of medical science development. Its contents are basic rules of the origin, development and outcomes of human diseases. It is desirable to organize in the medical schools chairs (courses) of general pathology as an supradiscipline subject the knowledge of which is necessary to the wide circle of students, interns, physicians of all specialties.

[Epithelial tumors of the thymus gland]. / Epitelial'nye opukholi vilochkovoi zhelezy.

A classification of thymomas is proposed based on rich authors' material. The classification allows one to reveal correlations between the malignancy grade, clinical manifestations and postoperative prognosis.

[Current trends in the development of general pathology]. / O nekotorykh tendentsiiakh na sovremennom étape razvitiia obshchei patologii.

The author holds that the achievements of molecular biology and pathology should not contradict conventional concepts about the body as a whole system in which all particular processes are controlled by the regulatory systems at various levels of organization. Only such an approach may ensure a fruitful development of general pathology as a theoretical basis of medicine. Teaching general pathology as an independent discipline in the system of medical education is proposed.

[The role of biologic and biochemical properties of microorganisms in the pathogenesis of experimental sepsis]. / Znachenie biologicheskikh i biokhimicheskikh svoistv mikroorganizmov v patogeneze éksperimental'nogo sepsisa.

Certain biological and biochemical differences are found after biochemical and electron-microscopic examinations between different substrains of staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The conclusion is made that in the development, course and form of septic process the important role is played not only by the type of infectious agent, but by its various substrains as well.

[Morphologic and functional aspects in the treatment of patients with intestinal fistulas]. / Morfofunktsionalnye aspekty pri lechenii bolnykh s kishechnymi svishchami.

Combination of severe purulent processes (peritonitis, phlegmons, and extensive wounds of the abdominal wall), eventration, and complete high unformed intestinal fistulas leads to rapid hemostasis disorders and emaciation. In nonoperative treatment lethality reaches 70%. Complete bilateral disconnection of the fistula bearing intestinal loop is the operation of choice in such situations. In this case the length of the disconnected intestinal segments may be two thirds of the length of the jejunum and the greater part of the colon. The results of morphofunctional study of an intestinal segment disconnected for a long period are analysed. The tactics of active surgical treatment is illustrated by clinical cases.

[The structural bases of the reliability of biological systems]. / Strukturnye osnovy nadezhnosti biologicheskikh sistem.

The stability of the inner milieu of the body despite changing conditions of life is brought about by a complex of several standard reactions displaying at different levels of organization, from a molecular one to that of organs and systems. These reactions ensure retaining homeostasis in spite of the action of pathogenic factors and are the material basis of what is understood under the "reliability of biological systems".
