[Morphological characteristics of multiple polyps of the large intestine].

Morphologic characteristics of multiple colonic polyps from 155 patients were analysed. In 23.5% of cases the polyps were proximally localized. The histologic structure in 98.1% out of 316 polyps showed them to be adenomas with different atypical changes of the epithelium, including carcinoma in situ, or invasive cancer. With the increase in adenoma size its histologic structure became more complicated and atypical changes more prominent. Different forms of colonic mucosa multiple adenoma are reviewed, the incidence of malignancy being 11.6%. It is concluded, that thorough examination of the colon and active surgery is indicated in this group of patients.

[Labeling index in colonic cancer, polyps and polyposis and nonspecific colitis].

Thymidine historadiography was employed to study labelling index in tumors and grossly-unaltered mucosa of large bowel in 34 cases of colorectal cancer and 67 patients with single polyps, polyposis and villous tumors of large bowel and suffering from nonspecific colitis. Mean labelling index in tumor tissue was established at 5.49, in normal mucosa of large bowel of healthy subjects--1.19, and in colitis, polyps and villous tumors--2.32, 4.24 and 5.84%, respectively. Labelling index increased with the degree of pathologic changes in mucosal epithelium of large bowel. Thymidine historadiography should be used in formation of groups at risk for large bowel cancer.

[Surgical tactics in small polyps in patients with polyposis of the large intestine].

Experience with the treatment of patients with multiple polyps of the colon is analyzed. They had large polyps and polyps with the diameter not more than 0,5 cm. The findings of morphological examination of such polyps and results of the dispensary observation of patients with non-ablated small polyps are described. A conclusion is made of the expediency of more active surgical tactics in relation to polyps less than 0,5 cm in diameter in this group of patients.

[Giant spreading villous tumors of the colon and rectum].

Two rare observations in which villous tumors affected the mucous membranes of the rectum and transverse colon are described. In one case the lesions extended for 60 cm, in the other the neoplasm occupied the entire inner surface of the rectum and colon as well as the adjacent area of the ileum, whereas in the area of the liver and spleen bends there were areas of adenocarcinoma. Both observations were characterized by marked inflammatory infiltration in some parts of the villous tumor.

[Testosterone content in the blood plasma in acute myocardial infarct].

The testosterone content was studied in 50 male patients, who sustained myocardial infarction, on the 1,3--5,10 and 20th day of the disease. Forty seven patients with ischemic heart disease served as controls. The results obtained were analysed in relation to the patients age and the course type of the disease. The testosterone concentration on the 1st day of myocardial infarction was not different from that in the ischemic heart disease patients. Elevation of the testosterone level was observed in the myocardial infarction patients during the acute period of the disease, but its dynamics depended on the course type of the disease. No relationship was revealed between the testosterone level increase and the patients age.

[Blood hormones in chronic ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarct].

The activity of some blood hormones was determined by radioimmune analysis in 58 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD), 60 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and in 24 practically healthy individuals. Increased activity of pituitary hormones (ACTH and TTH) with simultaneous increase in the blood STH content in the absence of essential changes in the FSH and LH content was established. These shifts in the production of pituitary hormones are evidently due both to disorders in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal area and to changes in the activity of systems coordinated to the pituitary gland in patients with CIHD. In patients with MI the activity of these hormones in blood does not differ from that in the control group. In patients with CIHD, the activity of the thyroid is diminished due to a decrease in its thyroxin-producing ability against the background of high activity of the pituitary thyreotropic function. The discussed shifts in the activity of some hormones in CIND and MI are conducive to the advancement of atherosclerosis and changes in myocardial metabolism.

[The production of mini antibodies against human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor using murine scFv combinatorial library].

To develop a phage display of single-chain antibodies (scFv), fractions of total cell DNA and RNA were obtained from splenocytes of naive mice. The DNA fragments encoding variable regions of light and heavy immunoglobulin chains were amplified and isolated using primers specific to the conservative regions of these genes. The construction of the library was based on the principle of stochastic combining of the DNA fragments encoding the light and heavy antibody chains with the DNA linker, whose structure corresponded to the (Gly4Ser)3 sequence. The scFv library was constructed using the E. coli TG1 strain and the phagemid vector pHEN1. The repertoire of the library exceeded 5 x 10(7) independent recombinant clones. The clones producing antibodies to the granulocyte colony-stimulating human factor were isolated. The affinity constants of the resulting scFv were in the range of 2 x 10(4) to 1.8 x 10(7) M-1.

[Lymphocyte metabolism in patients with acute pancreatitis with different genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes].

In this study, we have investigated correlation between enzymatic activity of NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenases of lymphocytes and polymorphic variants of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) genes in the group of unrelated patients with acute pancreatitis in comparison with healthy Russians from Krasnoyarsk. Thus, genotype GSTM1 0/0 is the marker of predisposition to the acute pancreatitis, wheras polymorphism of the GSTT1 gene is not involved in the development of the pancreatitis, at least in our group. The bioluminescence analysis showed statistically significant decrease of the levels of G3PD, NAD(+)MDH and the increase of NADH(+)LDH, NAD(+)GDH, NADH(+)GDH in lymphocytes of pancreatic group. Development of pancreatitis in patients with different genotypes GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes showed the rearrangement of the basic intracellular processes: dominance of a plastic metabolism in the patients with GSTM1--deletions and predominance of energetic processes at GSTT1 0 - pancreatitis.
