[Clinico-radiographic evaluation of the state of the spine in stomach and duodenal diseases].

Data are given on the condition of the thoracic spine of 465 patients with certain gastric and duodenal diseases. Degenerative-dystrophic lesions (spondylosis deformans and intervertebral osteochondrosis) of the thoracic spine together with osteoarthritis deformans of the costovertebral and costotransverse articulations lead to neurodystrophy of the gastric and duodenal mucosa through chronic stimulation by osteophytes of the thoracic sympathetic ganglia. Disorders of gastric and duodenal motor activity are also important. The attendant reflux gastritis is stipulated by reflux of the intestinal contents into the gastric lumen. Condition of the stomach and duodenum can be improved by relieving changes in the spine.

[Effect of intravascular laser irradiation of the blood on blood cells in pancreatitis].

Inpatient examinations included 17 patients with necrosis of the pancreas (4 patients had hemorrhagic and 14 fat necrosis): synthetic lymphocyte activity was studied by the luminescent method and the erythrocyte content of adenyl nucleotides by thin-layer chromatography in the toxic phase of pancreatitis. Synthetic lymphocyte activity was found to be decreased and the ATP pool of erythrocytes exhausted in the toxic phase of pancreatitis. Intravascular laser irradiation of the blood caused recovery of lymphocyte activity and increase in the ATP content in erythrocytes.

[Value of computerized tomography methods in diagnosing various diseases of the spine and spinal cord].

The authors generalize their 3-year experience in the employment of computer tomography at a multiprofile hospital and determine the diagnostic possibilities of this method in the treatment of degenerative and dystrophic diseases, primary and secondary tumours as well as some diseases of the spinal cord. The methods of improving the diagnostic efficiency of CT are discussed, particularly the employment of additional contrasting methods (CT epidurography and CT myelography). The indications for the employment of CT have been determined and the optimal sequence of performing the traditional X-ray methods of investigation, CT, CT epidurography and CT myelography in the lesions of the spinal column and the spinal cord has been worked out.

[Osteomyelitis of the sacrum].

The authors had 11 patients of different age with osteomyelitis of the sacrum; 9 were males and 2 females. The process was unilateral in most (9) of them. The duration of the disease was approximately 4 months. Before admission to the clinic 8 patients were treated for a long time and unsuccessfully by other specialists. From their experience the authors describe the characteristic complaints, signs, and clinical picture of the disease. They suggest that modern methods of examination (scintigraphy of the skeletal bones, computerized tomography) should be used more frequently. These methods ensure earlier and more reliable detection of destruction of the sacrum and leakage of pus. The 11 patients were operated on. One patient died on the 11th postoperative day from thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery. The disease did not recur in any of the patients who recovered.

[Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of pancreatitis].

Data are given on the specific features of the diagnosis and treatment of more than 2000 pancreatitis patients. In 388 of them the clinical signs of affection of the spine were verified by X-ray: intervertebral osteochondrosis and osteoarthrosis of the costovertebral articulations. The appropriate correction of changes in the spine promotes more rapid improvement of the state of the pancreas.
