[Low-frequency ultrasound in the treatment of acute and chronic suppurative diseases of the lungs and pleura in children].

The maximum exposure and regimens of action of the low frequency ultrasound on the lung and pleura tissue were established in experimental studies. The ultrasound energy was used in the clinic for the complex treatment of 139 patients with acute purulent diseases of the lungs and pleura and in 76 children with chronic bronchopulmonary pathology. High therapeutic effects were achieved which suggests the further application of the method to be fairly promising in children surgery.

[Acute suppurative destructive pneumonias in children].

Their experience with the observation of 1112 children with acute purulent destructive pneumonias allowed the authors to considerably improve the method of complex curative-diagnostic measures which resulted in lower lethality among this critical contingent of patients and better remote results of their treatment.

[Structure of the alveolar wall in obstructive pulmonary atelectasis in children].

The results of light and electron microscopy and morphometric studies of the alveolar wall in obstructive atelectasis in children with chronic nonspecific lung diseases (materials of 40 biopsies) are presented. Morphological changes in obstructive atelectases of various durations are described. Fresh atelectasis was shown to be characterized mostly by discirculatory and dystrophic changes. In atelectasis of a long duration, inflammatory reactions developed and, besides, regeneration-proliferation processes were activated which in children were manifested mainly by an increase in the number of large alveolar cells and, to a lesser extent, some increase in sclerotic changes. The release of osmiophilic lamellated corpuscules of large alveolar cells was disturbed, which was one of the factors conducive to the lack of a surfactant.

[Clinico-anatomical types of deforming bronchitis in children].

A complex clinico-roentgeno-morphological investigation was performed in 38 patients, aged from 4 to 15 years, with chronic deformative bronchitis. The analysis of the results obtained enabled to reveal three clinico-anatomical forms of deformative bronchitis: a. chronic infiltrative endobronchitis; b. chronic deformative bronchitis with cylindric enlargement of bronchi; c. chronic deformative bronchitis with marked angiobronchosclerosis. Broncho-angiopneumographic and morphological correlations contributed to further pinpointing differential indications to radical surgical procedures for such pulmonary pathology.

[Clinical x-ray characteristics of acute suppurative destructions of the lungs of a nonstaphylococcal nature in children].

The authors conducted complex clinico-roentgenological and immuno-bacteriological studies in 63 children, aged from 14 days to 14 years, with acute suppurative destructions of the lung, complicated with the development of pyothorax. As a result of these investigations, it was found that clinico-roentgenological symptomatics in children with acute suppurative destructions of the lung of the non-staphylococcal nature (Proteus, pyocyanic bacillus and others) show evident peculiarities and differ from typical manifestations of staphylococcal destruction of the l,ng in children. Complex clinico-roentgenological and immuno-bacteriological studies in children with the mentioned pathology enabled the authors to differentiate an infective nature of the disease.

[Etiology of acute suppurative destructive pneumonias in children].

Clinical, immunological and bacteriological studies were carried out in 63 children with the so-called staphylococcus destruction of the lungs. It was shown that in some of the cases destructive process in the lungs, along with the pathogenic staphylococcus, could be caused by the Gram negative bacteria (Proteus, Bac. pyocyaneus, etc.). It was found that in children of different age groups the titre of antistaphylococcus antibodies up to 0.5 AU/ml was normal and pointed to the absence of any inflammatory disease of staphylococcus etiology; a titre of 2 AU/ml - and overcould be considered as diagnostic. In connection with bacterial poly-etiology of acute destruction of the lungs in children it is suggested that it should be designated as "acute purulent destructive pneumonia". The importance of immuno-bacteriological studies in children with diseases with the mentioned pathology is emphasized; these examinations permit to choose proper complex therapy.
