[Use and examination of unwoven fabrics in the production of dressings, surgical and bed linens].

The results of physicochemical examination of 32 kinds of unwoven fabrics as well as the examination of 7 kinds of the three-level dressings, operation, and bed clothes are reported. The fabrics consisted of polypropylene and viscose fibres, dilana, argona, polyamides and bonding agents (fixatives). In their water extracts the content of the chloride, sulphate and alkaline ions, reductors, the presence of heavy metals, the surface active substances and the pH were determined. The practical applicability of the dressings was tested in 300 cases. The dressings were well tolerated by the patients. The operation and bed clothes as well as the surgical clothes made from unwoven fabric and sterilized by radiosterilization may facilitate, the great deal of work in the operation units and in surgical wards.

[Role of leukocytes in the healing process in surgical wounds].

In the last period of time there has been stated that in human lysosomes of neutrophilic leukocytes an in ones of some experimental animals occur, which stimulate the growth of lymphocytes and fibroblasts in the study in vitro. With regard to this it was assumed that similar stimulating processes may take place in the surgical wounds. The experiments were carried out on guinea pigs which were wounded and afterwards the wounds were sutured and the allogenic proteins preparations were introduced into its in dose of 100 microgram as follows: lysosomal proteins of granulocytes, mixed and separated on the the DEAE-cellulose columns; lysosomal proteins of macrophages, the proteins isolated from plasma and nuclei both the granulocytes and macrophages. The evaluation of healing was based on the measurement of mechanical resistance of wounds adhesions and was completed with the pathomorphological examinations. It has been shown that the mixture of lysosomal proteins of granulocytes, intruduced into the wounds, caused the acceleration of the healing processes. After giving into the wounds some fractions of proteins which were separated on the colums with DEAE-cellulose, the stimulating processes of healing were seen, while after adding the other ones-the inhibiting processes. The protein with similar evidences were not show inside other structures studied of granulocytes and macrophages. The results obtained seem to support the supposition that in lysosomes of neutrophilic granulocytes there are the factors which regulate the repair processes in wounds.

[Creation of arterio-venous fistulas in patients chronically treated with hemodialysis].

The authors present a 5-year experience in formation of the arterio-venous fistulas for hemodialysis. Analysed material includes 58 fistulas in 40 patients. Fistulas were formed twice or more times in 22% of the patients. Thrombus in the fistula was the most frequent complication (10.3%). The authors form arterio-venous fistula "of choice" in the peripheral portion of the forearm anastomosing radial artery with cephalic vein "side-to-end". Such a procedure in other portions of the arm is related to a higher risk of failure. Intra-arterial subtraction angiography is of significant help in the selection of the tactics of secondary operations forming fistula.

[Therapeutic management of massive hemorrhage caused by gastroduodenal ulcer].

Based on 103 patients the authors discussed policy of therapeutic management in gastric and duodenal ulcer disease complicated by massive hemorrhage. In the surgical treatment of such patients the authors prefer resection procedures aimed at simultaneous control of bleeding, prevention of its relapse and radical treatment of peptic ulcer disease.
