The data of studies of 45 patients with gastric cancer are used to consider the potentialities of ultrasonography (USG) in the diagnosis of its endophytic forms. Its use in the diagnosis of "small" gastric carcinomas is evaluated. The USG semiotics of endophytic tumors of the stomach, including its "small" and early forms, is presented. The place of USG in the diagnostic algorithmic of gastric cancer is specified. In the authors' opinion, gastric USG along with traditional X-ray and endoscopic studies should take an appropriate place as it is beneficial in solving a great deal of differential diagnostic problems associated with the intramural spread of tumors.

[Possibilities of radiologic methods (ultrasonography, computed tomography) in the preoperative evaluation of intramural invasion of gastric cancer].

By analyzing the findings in 72 patients with gastric cancer, the authors show the potentialities of noninvasive techniques of radiation diagnosis (transabdominal ultrasonography (USG) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) in the preoperative evaluation of the T-stage of gastric cancer. Ultrasound and computed tomographic semiotics of intramural invasion of gastric carcinoma is made. Ultrasonography was found to have the highest specificity in detecting early-stage gastric cancers prior to computed tomography. In the authors' opinion, a complex use of the data obtained by these techniques reveals the degree of invasion of gastric carcinoma and its extent with high precision. Transabdominal USG and CT should rank with the initial methods used for diagnosing gastric cancer. Transabdominal USG should be most expediently used as an initial technique of the above studies, by taking into account its wide accessibility, easiness-to-use, and lack of radiation load.

[The necessity of complex use of radiation and endoscopic techniques in the differential diagnosis of gastric ulcerations].

The results of examination of 156 patients were used to consider whether radiation and endoscopic techniques might be used in the differential diagnosis of gastric ulcerations. The necessity of their complex use is shown. Evidence is provided for that the understanding of intramural changes at the site of ulceration should underlie the interpretation of visual changes in the gastric mucosa. An algorithm has been developed for the rational and effective use of radiation and endoscopic techniques in the differential diagnosis of gastric ulcerations. The algorithm is shown to be highly effective in the correct interpretation of the pattern of an identified ulceration (98.4% specificity). Ultrasound and computed tomographic semiotics of benign and malignant gastric ulcerations is presented.

[The correction of functional disorders of the bile-secreting system by using laser radiation].

He-Ne laser irradiation of biologically active points and infrared laser irradiation of the liver were employed to improve gallbladder and sphincter functions, bile production and biochemistry, respectively, in a total of 57 patients with biliary dyskinesia presenting as hypokinetic dyskinesia of the gallbladder, hyperkinetic dyskinesia of the sphincter of Oddi or the combination of the two affections. Simultaneous use of the two kinds of laser irradiation appreciably shortens treatment duration, abolishes biliferous dysfunction, reestablishes physiological balance of bile components in case of its initial lithogenic potential.
