Ten patients with pheochromocytoma were examined before operation, 8 were examined 2-4 weeks after surgical treatment, and 30 in the long-term periods after elimination of hypercatecholaminemia. The patients with pheochromocytoma manifested activation of the renin-aldosterone system and inhibition of PGE2 secretion. In the long-term postoperative period, the level of aldosterone in the blood plasma was increased and that of PGE2 was reduced. In the patients with pheochromocytoma, the interrelation was discovered between the magnitude of arterial blood pressure and secretion of catecholamines, deoxycorticosterone, depressor prostaglandins. At different times after surgical treatment the central hemodynamics was found to be related to the level of mineralocorticoid hormones.

An analysis of changes in indicators of integral rheography after M. I. Tishchenko in 11 patients has shown that among the symptoms of possible pulmonary oedema are the coefficient of respiratory changes of the stroke volume (more than 2), the index respiration strain (30) and the severity index (more than 3).

[The computed tomographic characteristics of adrenal tumors].

The clinical materials of 121 patients with volumetric abnormal adrenal formations exposed to surgical therapy were retrospectively analysed. The data of preoperative CT studies were compared with the results of postoperative histological analyses of resected adrenal tumors. The specific features of the CT images of adrenal tumors were studied according to their morphological structure and hormonal activity. The syndromes of radiation signs which are the most characteristic of tumors of various histological structure, which may make a differential diagnosis of adrenal tumors from their CT image by taking into account clinical and laboratory findings.
