Organization: Saratov State Medical University
The aim of the research is to study and to analyze results of investigations of cytokine blood profile in patients with B-cellular chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Materials and methods: Complex investigation of 60 patients with B-cellular chronic lymphocytic leukaemia has been carried out. Patients have been randomized into 4 groups of observation according to the severety of disease (classification of Rai K. R., 1975). Accepted methods of somatic status and he-matologic indices as well as method of flow cytometry for establishment of B-lymphocytes immune phenotype have been used. Cytokine levels were detected by enzyme immunodetection. Results: Regular peculiarity of cytokine status change in different forms of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia development has been an increase of interleukine-4, interleukine-6, interleukine-7, interleukine-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels in serum that is one of the main pathogenetic factor of intercellular interaction abnormality in lymphoid tissue in the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia development. Conclusion: Increased indications of cytokines content in blood may be used as diagnostic criteria of pathology severity and in evaluation of effectiveness of complex therapy of the disease, as well as a classification sign of severity of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

The main condition in achieving a favorable outcome is surgical treatment of patients with tumor-like diseases and benign bone tumors erosion of neoplasm within the healthy tissues. To reduce the number of recurrences the various chemical and physical methods on resection areas have been performed. The authors have proposed a new method of low temperature plasma treatment of bone tissue with the temperature of 20000°C. Exposing the plasma flow on bone tissue leads to loss of all cellular elements including neoplastic elements with preservation of the mineral bone structure. The direct correlation between the capacity of the plasma flow and intensity of bone destruction has been defined. This allows a differentiated use of plasma destruction in skeletal bones according to anatomy, size and type of bone tissue (spongy or cortical) as well as patient's individual condition of the tissue

The article is devoted to recurring adaptation effect on energy metabolism of atrophic shin muscles. The purpose: Investigation of markers of activity of muscular fibers of gravitation-dependent muscles in condition of early posthypoki-netic readaptation. Materials. Muscles-antagonists have been taken from the shin area of hind limbs of a rat. Methods. Immunohistochemical dyeing of myofibrils of different type (I and II) on glycogen and triglycerides have been used. Results. We have revealed dynamic changes of the endocellular contents of researched energy substrata on different terms of the period of posthypokinetic restoration. Conclusion. Investigated substrata my serve as adequate functional markers of muscles in the conditions under the study

The histotypic structure of nodular growths has been morphologically studied after the primary surgery and reinter-vention. The revealed difference may indicate either the new thyroid tissue formation or the initial diagnosis error and inadequate surgery. Histological changes of the thyroid gland are caused by both the external (surgery, anthropogenic influence) and internal (reparative processes, dystrophic changes, hormone biosynthesis disturbance) factors, including iodine metabolism. It results in postoperative goiter development
