[The role of immune disorders in formation of local and systemic complications of severe acute pancreatitis].

There were studied the factors, which initiate the immune response in severe acute pancreatitis, in 57 patients of both gender ageing from 16 to 66 years, in whom the acute pancreatitis severity had constituted 3 marks and more (according to the Ranson criterions). In majority of the patients the combined type of the immune disorders had prevailed. The first stage of the disease was characteristic for metabolic hyperactivity occurrence with raising of HLA-DR+ level as well as of immunoregulating coefficient at the expense of the T-helpers quantity increase. In 47.1% of the patients with aseptic pancreonecrosis also the HLA-DR1 leukocytic antigens were revealed in combination with normal phagocytic activity of neutrophils present in 85.3% of them. In these patients also most frequently were revealed such antigens as HLA-A1 (in 20.6% of observations), HLA-A9 (in 29.4%), HLA-B13 (in 30.4%), HLA-B16 (in 20.6%). In 51.2% of patients, suffering infectionized pancreonecrosis, there was revealed HLA-DR2 lymphocytic phenotype. In them there were noted high suppressive activity of T-lymphocytes, lowering of phagocytic activity of neutrophils, activation of the aberrant adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ICAM-3) on the background of higher concentration of interleukin-8 present in the blood serum in comparison with such in patients, suffering aseptic pancreatic necrosis.

[Improvement of the diagnostic quality in thyroid diseases based on visualization and standardization of examinations].

There was proposed the method of the thyroid gland (TG) visualization in the system of topographical coordinates and in the projection of the organ image on the anterior surface of neck. One hundred of patients with the TG pathology were examined with application of the method. There was noted the possibility of the TG visualization application in the system of coordinates for enhancement of the fine-needle aspirational biopsy quality and diagnostic examination in total.

[The natural body resistance of patients operated on for differentiated thyroid cancer].

After operation for differentiated thyroid cancer, late assessment of the indices of cellular and humoral immunity was carried out in 37 patients ranging in age from 20 to 70 years. Control group included 38 healthy subjects of the similar age. In patients examined, increase in IgC content, absence of changes in IgA and IgM levels were noted. Relative content of B-lymphocytes was increased, total number of lymphocytes, T- and O-cells--significantly decreased.

[Comparative characteristics of thyroid cancer morbidity based on clinical data].

Comparative assessment of the incidence of thyroid cancer in patients operated on for different thyroid diseases from 1980 to 1986 (2448 cases, group 1), and from 1987 to 1991 (1993 cases, group 2) was carried out. The increase in incidence of thyroid cancer in group 2 patients was noted as well, as that in incidence of cancer development among the other hyperplastic diseases of the thyroid gland, autoimmune thyroiditis in particular. The results obtained are indicative of the necessity for correction of the tactics of treatment and prophylactic follow-up of the patients with different forms of goiter.

[Histological and immuno-morphological characteristics of differentiated cancer of the thyroid gland].

Histological and immunomorphological study of the removed tumor and tissue of the thyroid was performed in 80 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Activation of immune reactions and immunocompetent cells was reported at the border with blastomatous process. The latter seems a factor contributing to a favorable run of differentiated thyroid cancer. The capacity of papillary and follicular cancer for multifocal growth limits indications for preserving surgery in such lesions.
