Dependence of physical performance on the state of lymph circulation
Authors: Mikusev Y. E.
Published: February 2022

We carried out 2 series of experiments to determine physical performance under conditions of preliminary ligation of the main lymphatic collectors. In the first series, animals (dogs) were divided into three groups. In 3 dogs of the 1st (control) group, the left and right lymphatic ducts were simultaneously isolated (without dressing) with subsequent suturing of the wound. In 5 animals of the 2nd group, the ligation of the left thoracic lymphatic duct in the cervical spine was performed, and in 3 of the 3rd group, simultaneous ligation of both the left and right thoracic lymphatic ducts in the cervical spine was performed.

On the treatment of schizophrenia by malaria inoculation. Wiesel and Markuszewicz (Warsz. Czasop. Lek., 1927, no. 7)
Authors: Weinberg M.
Published: February 2022

Already in ancient medical literature there are indications of the beneficial influence of infectious diseases on the course of psychoses. In 1879, Rosenblum (Odessa) was the first to inoculate the mentally ill with relapsing typhus and in 22 cases had 11 cures and 3 improvements (the remaining 8 cases were unchanged). In 1917, Wagner Juregg began inoculating malaria in progressive paralysis. Repeated observations of schizophrenics who recovered clinically under the influence of accidental infection (sore throat, typhus) led Wiesel and Markuszewicz to test malaria vaccination in 46 schizophrenics, of whom 27 had already completed observations.
On myosalvarsan. Kolle (Ven. and Derm., 1927, no. 9), Petrov and Zakharievskaya (Vr. G., 1927, no. 24)
Authors: Weinstein A.
Published: February 2022

One of the major disadvantages of neosalvarsan is the difficulty of its intravenous administration in small children and obese subjects with poorly developed veins, and also the sharply expressed idiosyncrasy to its intravenous administration in some patients, where the intramuscular method of administration, with its slower action, would be useful. Hence the attempts to prepare a preparation of salvarsan for intramuscular administration.
Gonorrhea of the rectum. V. A. Gorash (Jour. Sovr. Khir., 1927, v. 5-6)
Authors: Tsimkhes I.

The author observed 17 cases of this disease, including 4 cases of isolated rectal gonorrhea after coitus'a per anum. In all cases, gonococci were detected. Clinically, the disease is manifested by itching, burning, eczema at the anus, and discharge from the rectum; it is sometimes accompanied by severe tenesmus, pain during defecation, blood, purulent discharge, and fissures around the anus.
Was there Chernobyl? (Notes on two medical concepts)
Authors: Vinokurov Yu. B. , Kopeikin V. A.
Published: February 2022

Overcoming social skepticism about the future of nuclear power and other highly efficient industries using fissile materials is, in our opinion, a matter of time, because in the near foreseeable future there is no other technically and economically feasible alternative to nuclear power due to the imminent fuel and energy crisis. However, it is bewildering the efforts of apologists for nuclear energy to minimize the degree of harmful radiation effects on the human body and on entire groups of people (NPP personnel, participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, the population evacuated from the affected areas and the population of the regions that found themselves in the path of the radioactive cloud after the accident on ChNPP). Many studies, numerous publications of specialists in various fields, from nuclear physicists to physicians and biologists, have been devoted to the fulfillment of this very dubious task. These publications are systematized, carefully selected and published in special brochures, collections and whole books, in which there are no skeptical statements and research results of those specialists who adhere to a slightly different point of view or strongly reject the concept of "35 rem in a lifetime". Their opinion can be found mainly only with a careful study of the collections of reports at highly specialized thematic conferences, meetings, seminars, and even then mainly in the biomedical direction. But all their persistent calls to reconsider the concept of radiation, affecting people in a dose exceeding 35 rem per life, are met with fierce hostility, declared incompetent, populist or politically opportunistic, or even simply anti-scientific.
Changes in the morphological composition of blood under the influence of muscular movements
Authors: Dryagin K. A. , Inyushkin N. V. , Dryagina O. N. , Mokeev A. M.
Published: February 2022

Muscle movements are of great importance in the physiological processes of the body. Labor of a worker in a factory, work of a peasant in a field and at home, physical training, and often even different kinds of rest (hunting, boating, skiing, skating, etc.) are connected with more or less tense muscular movements. The study of the effect of the latter on the body is of multifaceted interest: on the one hand, it gives an opportunity to establish the impact of these movements on other physiological processes of the body, and on the other hand - a more objective approach to the scientific organization of labor and physical education. As in our clinic the questions of blood formation and morphological composition of blood are given very significant attention, we used the opportunity to make observations of changes in the morphological composition of blood under the influence of muscular movements.
On pulmonary syphilis and its combination with tbc
Authors: Zhuravleva V. I.
Published: February 2022

Not so long ago pulmonary syphilis was a rare finding on the sectional table, nor was it often diagnosed by clinicians. In 1896 Stolper (1896) had 61 cases of visceral lues per 3,000 sections, of which 4 were due to pulmonary syphilis. Сlaytor (1905) did not encounter a single case of pulmonary syphilis in 13,000 autopsies. Symmers (1916) had 0.24% pulmonary syphilis per 4,880 autopsies. Саrraro (1920) found 7.8% pulmonary syphilis in 152 syphilitics (his cases checked microscopically). Finally, Osler (1920) found 12 cases of pulmonary syphilis per 2,800 autopsies.
Surgical treatment of rectal prolapse
Authors: Eiber S. M. , Tkachenko I. O.
Published: February 2022

Currently, two classifications of lower intestinal tube prolapses have been adopted: the French classification based on the different involvement of the intestinal tube layers in the prolapse, and the German classification based on the topography of the prolapsed parts along the length of the intestinal tube. The first distinguishes 1) prolapsus mucosae recti, 2) prolapsus recti completus, and 3) prolapsus recti invaginati; the second distinguishes 1) prolapsus ani, 2) prolapsus ani et recti, 3) prolapsus recti, and 4) prolapsus recti invaginati.
On the content of hemoglobin in the outflowing blood of the adrenal glands
Authors: Puchkov N. V.
Published: February 2022

As is well known, Th. Addison in his famous book calls the symptom complex resulting from the disease of the adrenal glands "idiopathic anemia", because one of its main: symptoms is, as Addison himself puts it, "depletion of blood". Subsequently, various other authors have found that in this case there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells, sometimes reaching a very significant degree.
On the use of histamine in the diagnosis and therapy of gastric diseases
Authors: Osipov P. N.
Published: February 2022

The twofold study with histamine performed here yielded exactly the same results: absence of juice on an empty stomach, separation of viscous mucus after injection of 1 mg of histamine with the largest amount in the II portion (20 cc), complete absence of HCI and pepsin. It is possible that here, along with bocalytic cells quite adapted to mucus separation, we had an imperfect or even completely undeveloped apparatus for HCI and pepsin production.
A few observations on the use of autohemotherapy in obstetrics and gynecology
Authors: Kazansky P. P.
Published: February 2022

Since Halsted, in 1884, "initiated a therapeutic method of reinfusion of one's own blood (after blood citration) for a number of diseases" (N.V. Sokolov), autologemotherapy, having undergone various modifications both in the way of application and in indications and contraindications, has taken a place of honor among other treatment methods. Autochemotherapy, as an independent or sub-method of treatment, has been and is used by many medical specialties. This method of treatment, fascinating in its simplicity and sometimes brilliant in its effect, could not, of course, go unnoticed by representatives of obstetrics and gynecology.
Bioquinol and blood enzymes
Authors: Neshchadimenko I.
Published: February 2022

Salvarsan, introduced by Ehrlich in the therapy of syphilis, has revolutionized this field. This substance is known to have a strong spirillocidal effect, which is especially clear in vitro and in animal experiments. However, the use of salvarsan in humans was not as simple as in experimental animals, for clinical observations have shown that a single infusion of it is not enough - this on the one hand, and on the other hand - that its combination with other antisyphilitic agents is necessary. The best such combination is the combination of salvarsan with mercury, but even this combination has not proved to be quite effective, since some patients after its use began to show the side effects of mercury poisoning. These circumstances have forced researchers to look for new anti-syphilitic agents, which on the one hand would be effective against lues, and on the other hand, would be well tolerated by patients.
Clinics and histology of lupus erythematodes of the scalp
Authors: Grzhebin Z. N.
Published: February 2022

Every dermatologist who has seen lupus erythematodes localized on the scalp has been struck by the fact that the scars left by lupus erythematodes on the scalp are deeper than those left on the face, and these latter, especially those located near the nose, are in turn deeper than those left on any other part of the body. This involuntarily brings to mind another skin affliction, favus, which also leaves deep marks on the scalp and almost no marks in those cases where scabs are localized on the body.
State Obstetric-Gynecological Institute of the People's Commissariat for Health in Leningrad
Authors: Bublchenko L. I.
Published: February 2022

The State Obstetric and Gynaecological Institute for Advanced Medical Training is one of the oldest obstetric institutions in Russia: last year marked the 130th anniversary of its existence. In 1797, in the house of Countess Zubova, a "maternity hospital" for the poor was arranged, along with a maternity school for 22 pupils with a budget of 22,383 rubles. The first director of the hospital was Morengeim, and the professor of the maternity school was Beck, who lectured in German. In this more than modest institution in 1798 were authorized 22 women in childbirth, and then during the first 10 years on average annually allowed 30 women in childbirth. The grain thus thrown did not die, but grew into a mighty, multi-branched tree. In 1835, according to Gruber's design, a polyclinic was established at the Institute, and in 1844 an infirmary with 6 beds, which was the germ of the clinic at the recently established Department of Postpartum Diseases. At the head of the Institute stood the major obstetricians of their time, such as Hugenberger, Ettlinger and Balandin, who introduced from 1874 antiseptic and disinfection in childbirth (with soap and carbolic acid).

Authors: Volzhensky E.
Published: February 2022

In severe cases of inflammatory glaucoma, when medication fails to lower the intraocular pressure, Safar suggests basal iridectomy, preferring it both to wide total iridectomy, because of the danger in the latter of expressive bleeding, spontaneous lens prolapse and vitreous loss, and Elliot's sclera trepanation, because of the possibility of late infection.

Published: February 2022

The study of materials from gynecological hospitals in Omsk over the past two decades has allowed us to establish that out of 13 women with cervical pregnancy who underwent subsequent surgical treatment, the primary diagnosis was reliable only in 4. In the rest, cervical pregnancy was mistaken for a normal uterine pregnancy (in 5), for an incomplete abortion (in 3), for a hematocervix (in 1).

In recent years, physical therapy and, in particular, light therapy has become widely used in many branches of medicine, especially in gynecology, where the "Ultrasonne" lamp has proven particularly suitable for light therapy purposes. This lamp, specially designed for gynecological purposes, is an arc lamp, which has a funnel-shaped attachment, which serves as a concentrator of rays: the light source is obtained from impregnated metal carbon electrodes with a spectrum similar to the sun.
The importance of biomicroscopy of conjunctival vessels for the diagnosis of progressive atherosclerosis
Authors: Bogoyavlensky V. F.
Published: February 2022

Clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are caused by circulatory disorders in tissues and organs (N. N. Anichkov, 1962; A. L. Myasnikov, 1956 and 1965). From this point of view, the study of microcirculation in the terminal parts of the circulatory system - in the arteriole capillary venule zone is of great interest.
Diagnosis of syphilis by seroreactions during pregnancy. Philipp (Klin. Woch., 1927, No. 15)
Authors: Timofeev A.
Published: February 2022

The author studied 1,000 women in labor by performing Wassermann (WaR), Meinicke (MTR) and Sachs-Klopstock (SaKIR) reactions on the ulnar vein blood. At the same time, umbilical cord blood was examined for spirochaetes. The author's main objective was to decide whether a nonspecific reaction is obtained in pregnancy. He detected spirochaetes most often when all three, or at least two, reactions were positive. On the contrary, in none of the cases where only WaR was positive were spirochaetes detected.

The treatment included a 15% aqueous solution of chinini bimuriatici with an anode and an initial current of 2-3 MA, later 5-10 MA for 5-10-15 days, every 1-2 days, depending on the intensity of skin reaction. Of 20 cases treated this way, 5 showed complete recovery, 12 showed more or less significant improvement, 3 cases were incomplete.
Acetic acid thallium in fungal skin diseases. Bronstein (Med. Kl., 1927, No. 48)
Authors: Weinstein A.
Published: February 2022

Studying experimentally on rats and clinically on children with fungal skin diseases the effect of thallii acetici, the author comes to the following conclusions: 1) thallium aceticum when used for a long time in rats causes a temporary inhibitory effect on the endocrine system (temporary growth retardation, skeletal bone changes, decreased sexual function, development of cataracts); 2) being used as an epilation agent in fungal diseases in children aged 1-14 years in a dose of 0.008 pro kilo (a single reception per os), it causes complete hair removal after 2 weeks of administration; 3) new hair growth starts after that in 4-6 weeks; 4) no side effects are observed during the year after that; 5) Thallium aceticum as an epilation drug has several advantages in comparison with X-rays.

Some data on the antagonistic action of mustard gas and calcium chloride
Authors: Popov P. I.
Published: February 2022

The beginning of the current century must be marked, among other things, by the introduction of new weapons into the practice of warfare, which differed sharply from the previously known types of the latter. The peculiarity of the old weapons was that they caused bleeding, from which the fighters died. The new weapons do not damage blood vessels, they make the war less bloody, which is why one would think that they act more humanely. In fact, however, this is far from the case - in many ways the new weapons are worse than the old ones. These weapons are the poisonous substances, so widely used in the last war and promising to become even more important in future wars, which is why they are now being given serious attention everywhere.
Clinical observations on calcemia
Authors: Nimtsovitskaya M. A.
Published: February 2022

In recent years, when interest in blood biochemistry has greatly increased, the study of blood Ca content has taken a prominent place. This is quite understandable, as the role and importance of Ca in the animal organism are great and varied. There is not a single organ or cell that does not contain lime. The presence of calcium in the cell nuclei and its necessity for the proper functioning of the cell has been proven. Lime deprivation leads to cell death. A number of changes in the body depend on an imbalance between Ca and K. Kraus and Zondek state that "K and Ca are the two poles between which cell life and function oscillate".
Experience with local infiltration anesthesia in gynecological surgeries
Authors: Timofeev A. I.
Published: February 2022

The dangers of general anesthesia, especially chloroform anesthesia, have prompted surgeons in all countries to strive to replace general inhalation anesthesia with safer methods when administering anesthesia during operations. In terms of limiting anesthetic trauma, the ideal method of anesthesia should be one that does not introduce any new damage into the body of the operated person outside the operating field. This requirement determines the very nature of anesthesia as local anesthesia.
On the timing of the appearance of isohemoagglutinating blood properties in humans
Authors: Dykhno M. A. , Derchinsky G.  D.
Published: February 2022

One of the important recent advances in the biological sciences is the teaching of so-called isohemoagglutination, which, as we know, has led to the need to divide people into certain groups. The essence of the isohemoagglutination reaction is that the blood serum of one species of animal glues the erythrocytes of the same species, which depends on the presence in the erythrocytes of agglutinogens (receptors) designated by the letters A and B and in the serum agglutinins designated by the letters a and b. The presence and ratio of agglutinogens and agglutinins determine the blood group identity of an individual.
How long is the incubation period of malaria?
Authors: German O. A. , Malinina A. F.
Published: February 2022

About duration of incubation period of malaria we already had a chance to speak in the report, presented by us, together with Dr. Lifshitz, to the IV Volga region malaria congress. New researches in this direction, which have given us, by the way, the same results, as the former ones, allow us to speak again on this question, especially as this question, which has been raised infinitely many times by different researchers, is solved till now, in our opinion, incorrectly. So, last years begin to speak, as something quite proved, that the incubation period at this illness very often lasts 6-9 months and more while we with it, on the basis of our materials, cannot agree.
Caverns and pseudocaverns in X-rays and their clinical significance
Authors: Gasul R. Ya.
Published: February 2022

For the clinician and partly for the pathologist-anatomist the formation of caverns was so far as if the final chord in the progressing tuberculosis process of a certain area of the lungs, in which the sequestration of caseous infiltrate or tissue melting from pyogenic membrane occurred. But after the works of Assmann, Lydtin, Ulrici, Redeker, etc. the attention of clinicians stopped on early subclavian or centrally lying infiltrates, which very often quickly decayed and gave rise to early caverns. We now know that it is necessary to distinguish between these early caverns, in the initial phase of the tuberculosis process, and late caverns, in the final phase of the process. Both species have a definite place in phthisisogenesis.

If before the war diabetes was most often a disease of the wealthy classes, nowadays in all countries, including ours, there is an increase in the incidence of diabetes among the mass of the population, and, even more curious, the number of juvenile, severe forms of the disease has undoubtedly increased. This circumstance, as well as the discovery and wide use of insulin and especially the appearance on the market of insulin of our production, has forced the practitioner much more interested in both diabetes and its treatment than it was before. The book by Prof. M. P. Konchalovsky and Dr. I. P. Zolotareva therefore appeared as timely as possible, responding to the urgent demand of a wide circle of doctors.

Constitution as an important factor in infant nutrition
Authors: Vorobiev V. N.
Published: February 2022

In matters of infant nutrition, constitution is a (very essential and generally recognized factor. We know well that by constitution we mean the sum of all its biological properties, i.e. morphological, functional and biochemical, since they are conditioned by the plasma and therefore have a hereditary character. However, it must be remembered that constitution is expressed mainly in the organism's ability to respond in one way or another to internal and external stimuli. Thus the state of child development is the result of the summation of two factors - on the one hand germinal rudiments, on the other - the influence of the external environment.

Published: February 2022

The author's worldview as a physician is thought of only in the spirit of materialism. The great misfortune and tremendous mistake of earlier generations of physicians was to turn medicine into a part of philosophy and religion. Medicine became a science from the moment it switched to materialism and cut faith and knowledge into two different parts with the edge of a knife. This elegantly and sumptuously (on velvet paper, with rare artistic reproductions) published book reveals for the first time the historical and cultural importance of the doctor from the most ancient times (Assyria, Egypt, India, Judea, China, old America) to the end, the Greek era, which determined the growth, and sometimes the delay, of the cultural development of peoples.

The acknowledged merit of Assmann's well-known textbook is that the author has managed to build on the perfectly developed clinical material a richly illustrated radiodiagnosis, mainly of internal diseases, and to present it in a masterly, fascinating form. And in this new edition the author remained faithful to himself: the same clinical aspect, the same abundance of artistically presented material, the same wealth of valuable observations and instructions, the same critical coverage of the current literature.
Basic differential diagnostic criteria and modern treatment strategy for the most important anemias

The influence of Mg and NH4 ions on secretory and motor activity of the stomach
Authors: Seleznev A. V.
Published: February 2022

More and more attention is paid to the effect of cations on living protoplasm. It was proved by Loeb that quantitative ratio of one of divalent cations has a great influence on excitability of living tissue (Loeb's coefficient), - increase of the former leads to excitation, and of the latter - to suppression of cell function. The former include Na, K, NH4, and the latter include Ca and Mg. What is applicable to a muscle, a nerve, may also be applicable when testing a whole organ. Particularly on the stomach, this effect of cations was tested by Pravdich-Neminsky with respect to changes in its motor function.
Treatment of typhoid fever with barium chloride
Authors: Rutkevich K. M.
Published: February 2022

Typhoid fever, according to the duration of its course and the possibility of complications and a number of surprises, belongs to the category of those diseases where the doctor at the bedside is in the same position as those around him - from the moment of setting the diagnosis he cannot, even approximately, say anything about the duration of the disease itself or about the nature of its course, and all his struggle with typhoid is limited to symptomatic therapy. For this reason the efforts of the medical world have long been directed toward finding a specific treatment for the disease. Sero- and vaccine therapy of typhoid fever, however, has not yet given tangible practical results, because, although some authors point to shortening the duration of the disease and lowering the mortality rate, I think that other factors may play a role here, such as the nature of the typhoid epidemic, the degree of hospitalization of patients, etc. Leaving aside the issue of sero- and vaccine therapy, as it is not within our scope, I would like to touch only the drug treatment of typhoid fever. Here, too, the situation is very sad.

Authors: Akhrem-Akhremovich R. M.
Published: February 2022

The present report aims to draw attention to extremely interesting morphological changes in blood elements, which we observed in purpura variolosa, and to emphasize their diagnostic value in recognition of this disease. It is more practically important, because the diagnosis of purpurae variolosae is often difficult, the disease in sporadic cases is rarely recognized and sometimes, due to similarity with the clinical picture of purpurae fulminantis, it is mistaken for the latter.
Spinal anesthesia at Urzhum Hospital
Authors: Samborsky V. S.
Published: February 2022

In recent years, Russian medical literature has been enriched by an excellent monograph by S.S. Yudin devoted to spinal anesthesia. This book, with its wide coverage of the issue and the author's vast personal experience, fills a gap on this important issue. Nevertheless, in view of the great interest that the questions of anesthesia cannot but arouse, it seems to me not unreasonable, though in brief, to outline our experience in this respect as well.
Basen's disease in childhood
Authors: Levin E. R.
Published: February 2022

In children, Graves' disease is rare: according to the American literature, for 1,512 cases of the disease in the Mauo Clinic, there were only 5 in children under 10 years of age, which is equal to 0.3%. Klein cites at 3,477 cases of 184 in children under 15 years of age, equal to 5%. The French literature, according to Barret, describes 100 cases of basid disease in children under 15 years of age, including 64 cases between 10 and 15 years of age, 28 between 5 and 10 years of age, and the rest before 5 years of age. In the German literature, according to Sattler's data, for 2,934 cases collected by him from the literature and his own through 1910, 184 cases fell in childhood, i.e., 6.3%; of which there were 11 cases between 0 and 5 years of age, 54 from 5 to 10, and 129 from 10 to 15 years of age. In Russian literature we have found only a few cases of the disease in children.
On the technique of splenectomy. Ferrari (Revue de chir., 1927, No. 6)
Authors: Znamensky M.
Published: February 2022

The author offers an original access to the spleen: the skin incision starts at the VIII intercostal space on the left, passes to the abdominal wall, following the direction of this intercostal space, and ends at the midline, slightly above the navel, forming a slightly bent down line. First, only the abdominal cavity is opened, and if it is necessary to extend the incision, the diaphragm incision from the chest wall in the same intercostal space is joined to the latter after preliminary stitching of the diaphragm with the intercostal muscles.

I. Gelman. Essential Hypertension. 1927. Publication of Moszdravotdel. 197 pp. Pr. 2 r., 60 к.
Authors: Shestakov A. N.
Published: February 2022

The author's general point of view on hypertension is that while there are many causal moments, the mechanism of its origin is the same, namely that the changes characterizing hypertension go through the vaso-regulating apparatus (central or peripheral) and lead to disturbances of active and passive vascular functions (p. 11). Thus the author puts forward in the genesis of hypertension not any patho-anatomical changes of blood vessels, but a purely functional point, a deviation or shift of the whole blood circulation apparatus from its normal state, expressed by the increase of the active state (tonus) of blood vessels, depending on the corresponding deviation in the vasomotor regulatory system. The author consistently holds this general point of view through all his work and proves it both by his numerous observations and by critical analysis of equally numerous views and theories of other authors, who tried to put under the concept of hypertension one or another pathological and anatomical basis, first of all - vascular sclerosis, and then kidney diseases, poisoning by those or other metabolic products, etc.).
On the inappropriateness of antibiotic therapy for uncomplicated forms of acute respiratory viral infection in children
Authors: Lukina T. N. , Stekolshchikova I. A.
Published: February 2022

As you know, antibiotics do not affect viruses, but it is not possible to completely avoid the use of antibiotics in ARVI. So, they are indicated in the event of bacterial complications (pneumonia, otitis media, etc.). Literature data on the use of antibiotics for uncomplicated bacterial infection forms of ARVI are contradictory. There are recommendations to prescribe antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs in order to prevent the activation of opportunistic microflora or the prevention of superinfection in a hospital setting. At the same time, antibiotics are far from indifferent to the child. They can have a direct toxic, sensitizing effect, delay the development of immunological reactivity. No less significant is the fact that with the frequent use of antibiotics, microorganisms become resistant to them.

Regulatory T-cells CD4⁺CD25⁺FoxP3⁺CD127low (Tregs) play a key role in the maintenance of tolerance to auto antigens, inhibit function of effector T and B lymphocytes, and provide a balance between effector and regulatory arms of immunity. Patients with autoimmune diseases have decreased Treg numbers and impaired suppressive activity. Transformed ex vivo autologous Tregs could restore destroyed balance of the immune system. We developed a method for Treg precursor cell cultivation. Following the method, we were able to grown up 300-400 million of Tregs cells from 50 ml of peripheral blood during a week. Transformed ex vivo Tregs are 90-95% CD4⁺CD25⁺FoxP3⁺CD127low and have increased expression of transcription genes FoxP3 and Helios. Transformed ex vivo Tregs have increased demethylation of FoxP3 promoter and activated genes of proliferation markers Cycline B1, Ki67 and LGALS 1. Transformed ex vivo Tregs have increased suppressive activity and up to 80-90% these cells secrete cytokines TNFα и IFNγ. Our data suggest transformed ex vivo autologous Tregs have genetic, immunophenotypic and functional characteristics for regulatory T-cells and further can be used for adoptive immunotherapy autoimmune diseases and inhibition of transplantation immunity.
Off - pump coronary artery bypass grafting on patients with preoperative dual antiplatelets: our centre experience
Authors: Agarwal Rajat , Mubeen M. , Singh Harpreet
Published: February 2022

Background: With the advances in percutaneous intervention techniques, the majority of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are on aspirin and clopidogrel. Standard guidelines suggest to stop clopidogrel 5 days and continue aspirin before surgery. We aim to report our centre experience on effects of continuation of preoperative clopidogrel on postoperative bleeding and use of blood products after off- pump CABG (OP-CABG).Methods: This retrospective study included 120 consecutive patients who underwent isolated OP-CABG operation between Nov 2019 and March 2021 in our centre. Data was obtained from hospital records. Patients were divided into two groups: Group-1: this group consists of 86 patients. All patients included were elective CABG cases with preoperative Clopidogrel 75 mg discontinued 3-5 days before surgery. Group-2: this group consists of 34 patients. All patients included were urgent CABG cases with preoperative Clopidogrel 75 mg discontinued 24 hours before surgery. Aspirin 75 mg was continued in both groups till surgery. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data was recorded.Results: 120 patients were enrolled in the study. There was no statistical significance in postoperative bleeding, re-exploration and use of blood products between the two groups. However, use of total arterial vascularisation and operative time was significant among the groups. The postoperative outcome was similar in both the groups.Conclusions: OP-CABG can be done safely in patients requiring urgent surgery. However, clopidogrel should be stopped 3-5 days in patients undergoing elective surgeries as it influences graft selection, prolongs operative time and exposes the patients to unnecessary risks.
Role of subcutaneous suction drain in reducing surgical site infection in emergency laparotomy
Authors: Naik Arun K. , S. V. Arya , Sharma Ashok K.
Published: February 2022

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major postoperative wound complications associated with open abdominal surgery and is related to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. A subcutaneous suction drain reduces the dead space in the subcutaneous tissue plane and thereby prevents accumulation of fluid and seroma formation. In this study we observed the role of subcutaneous drain in reducing SSI in emergency laparotomies.Methods: Prospective randomized comparative study comprising of 108 patients on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. 54 patients were called cases in whom subcutaneous suction drain was placed and 54 patients were called controls in whom no drain was placed. Antibiotic prophylaxis was given to all patients. Surgical site infection (SSI) was diagnosed and graded using Southampton wound grading system.Results: 24% of cases and 46% of controls developed SSI, 9% of cases and 33% of controls developed wound dehiscence and mean duration of hospital stay was 6days in cases and 10days in controls. All above parameters were statistically significant with p<0.05.Conclusions: Subcutaneous suction drain is effective in reducing surgical site infection (SSI), wound dehiscence and mean duration hospital stay in emergency laparotomies.

Authors: Annapurna P. , Pattnaik Niharika
Published: February 2022

Background: Cystic lesion in the neck originates from lymph nodes, skin appendages, soft tissues, salivary gland or developmental anomalies of neck like branchial cleft. Present study has been designed to know the anatomical site of cystic swelling, dividing them in cystic, inflammatory, benign, and malignant groups.Methods: FNAC was done using 22 gauge needles. The aspirated material was smeared on the slide and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin 31 (H and E), Papanicoloau staining and stained with May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG) stain. Wherever suspicion of tubercular pathology was there ZN stain was used.Results: Regarding distribution of organ involved in cystic swelling of neck, as per table 2, cystic swelling associated with thyroid was in 80 (40%) patients, cystic swelling associated with lymph node was in 86 (43%) patients, cystic swelling associated with salivary gland was in 20 (10%) patients, cystic swelling associated with soft tissue and miscellaneous was in 6 (3%) patients and non specific sample was seen in 4 (2 %) patients.Conclusions: From present study we can conclude that that mean age of the patients was 34.66±4.21 yrs and most of the patients were below 40 years of age and there was male predominance. In present study lymph node was most common organ with cystic swelling (43%) and thyroid (40%) was next to it. Salivary gland was third most common organ involved (10%). In our study Colloidal goitre was present in 38(19%) patients and tuberculosis was present in 42(21%) patients.

Published: February 2022

Injury to the pancreas by a blunt trauma is very rare and accounts for less than 2% of all abdominal injuries. It can be acute or delayed presentation. CT abdomen is the major imaging method in the diagnosis of abdominal visceral injuries. We can confirm pancreatic main duct injuries with magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or ERCP by contrast extravasation. ERCP has also been used therapeutically with transpapillary stunting across the pancreatic duct disruption or simply across the sphincter of Oddi aiming at a reduction of the intrapancreatic pressure gradient. There are several surgery options for which can be employed to manage this injuries.
