Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTBackground: Gingiva is the outermost periodontal tissue that acts as a mechanical and biological barrier to the root of the teeth and alveolar bone. The main cellular elements in the gingiva are fibroblasts. Fibroblast cell proliferation is an important process in tissue regeneration. Growth factors that can stimulate fibroblast cell proliferation can be found in regenerative agents, such as injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The aim of this study was to examine the influence between i-PRF and PRP on the gingival fibroblast cell proliferation in vitro study on primary cell culture.Method: Gingival fibroblast cell were obtained from primary cell culture derived from healthy gingiva. Ten mL of peripheral blood were centrifuged for i-PRF and PRP preparation. The samples were divided into three groups: i-PRF, PRP, and fibroblast cells without treatment. Cell proliferation were observed at day 1, day 3, day 5 using MTT assay at 550 nm. The data were analyzed by Two-Way ANOVA test, followed by Post Hoc test.Result: The results showed that the cell proliferation increased from day 1, 3, and 5 in all groups. The absorbance value of the cell proliferation in order from highest to lowest: i-PRF, PRP, and cell control.Conclusion: i-PRF and PRP increased the gingival fibroblast cell proliferation. i-PRF increased the cell proliferation higher than PRP.

ABSTRACTBackground: The important role of coastal communities is not directly in line with their living conditions, which are mostly poor. Dental caries is basically a disease that is also suffered by the general public in Indonesia, even in the world. RISKESDAS 2018 shows the prevalence of caries in Indonesia is 88.8%. Dental caries is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus mutans. People who live in coastal areas are at risk of suffering from dental caries. Brushing behavior also has a relationship with the incidence of dental caries. Method: All articles reviewed were obtained from Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar with a period of 10 years in full text. using the keywords behavior, caries, and coastal area.Result: Based on reviews from several journals, it was found that the brushing behavior of coastal communities was good, but the frequency of brushing teeth was not appropriate and the behavior of using drinking water had no known fluoride content. There are variations in the category of dental caries at the age level of people in coastal areas.Conclusion: Knowledge and healthy behavior can reduce the risk of dental caries related to the behavior of coastal communities, so that life productivity can be much better than ever.

ABSTRACTBackground: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor. Ameloblastoma is a borderline tumor because it is a benign but locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate if the excision is not complete. The principle of treatment for ameloblastoma is excision all the tumor. This article aimed to conduct a retrospective study to analyze the characteristics of ameloblastoma in patients at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hasan Sadikin Hospital Oral Surgery between the period of January 2018-December 2019Method: This is a retrospective study with 37 patients diagnosed with ameloblastoma during 2018-2019. We took data from each patient such as gender, age, radiological features, histopathological diagnosis of the location of ameloblastoma, management, defects, reconstruction. Result: A total of 22 patients were diagnosed with plexiform ameloblastoma, 12 cases of follicular ameloblastoma, 3 cases of mixed plexiform and follicular ameloblastoma. 31 patients were treated radically, while 6 patients were treated conservatively. Radical treatment is more often used to reduce recurrence rates, whereas conservative measures are indicated in children and adolescents, as well as adult patients with unilocular ameloblastoma types. Conclusion: The most characteristic of ameloblastoma is plexiform ameloblastoma in the mandible. Ameloblastoma is usually performed radically and reconstructed with an AO plate.
Italy-Japan. Dialogues on Food

Published: December 2021

Italy and Japan are two of the countries where food has traditionally had greater symbolic value. They are two culinary realities now exported all over the world, for a long time representative of lifestyles, social and economic dynamics in many cases similar in the course of their respective histories. This volume, by the contributions offered by authorities and guests, managers, experts, journalists and scholars from Japan and Italy, presents a great number of implications of the cultural representations of Food Culture, analysed in a multi-perspective approach, underlying the value of food and cuisine in Japan and Italy nowadays as in the past, through a considerable transition between tradition and modernity.
About Air Meal and Revival of the Black Market
Authors: Shimada Masahiko
Published: December 2021

Everyone is anxious that the form of eating and drinking will change drastically due to the pandemic. The immediate challenge is how to overcome the harsh reality of the rush of restaurant closures, but the chance of survival may be found unexpectedly in the black market. Large-capital sushi chains, izakaya chains, family restaurants, and First Foods are also shrinking. Privately owned restaurants have been forced to withdraw before the epidemic spread, but large capital has also been hit hard. Which is faster, to regenerate or restart? Private restaurants with weak capital will soon collapse, but the selling point is the lightness of the footwork that can be rebuilt immediately. It seems that minimalism is likely to become the standard in the post-Corona era
Food Culture and Traditional Performing Arts in Japan
Authors: Ruperti Bonaventura
Published: December 2021

Food and cuisine in Japan as well as in Italy – and certainly not only in France – are culture. The importance of food is naturally vital and is therefore the foundation of the rites, in which offerings to the deities also take place. In Japan, gods are presented offerings of rice, foods from the seas and the mountains, drinks (sake), as well as flowers, in rituals. At the same time the performing arts (poetry, music and dance) are also important in the rituals, dedicated to the divinities and to the audience on the occasion of rites and festivals. The paper will discuss food and drink, which are the basis of civilisation and nutrition in Japan, in connection with traditional theatres: from nō, to kyōgen.

Visions of Family Meals in Japanese Cinema
Authors: De Angelis Eugenio
Published: December 2021

Cooking and dining scenes have been a ubiquitous presence in Japanese cinema since its inception, and the relationship between Japanese people and food has been frequently exploited to play out family dynamics, rites of passage, etc. Therefore, the dining room often becomes the place where drama unfolds in striking contrast with this supposedly safe environment. This paper focuses on three films where dining scenes are particularly relevant – Ozu Yasujirō’s The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice (1952), Morita Yoshimitsu’s The Family Game (1983) and Miike Takashi’s Visitor Q (2001) – in order to analyse how Japanese cinema has documented the transformation of family relations in time.
Food Between Life and Death in the Cinema of Marco Ferreri and Itami Jūzō
Authors: Novielli Maria Roberta
Published: December 2021

International cinema of every era has told of the relationship between men, women and food. In many cases it is presented as a common thread capable of binding every life impulse: sex, spirituality, greed, even death. In the cases of Italy and Japan, there are two directors in particular for whom the theme recurs with greater incisiveness: Marco Ferreri and Itami Jūzo, and especially in their works La Grande Abbuffata and Tanpopo. Both movies also represent a critique of the consumer society and the general decay of civil entourage. The characters thus contribute to representing a sort of mythology of the human being, each distinct in a grotesque, surreal and in many cases parodic way while they use food to translate their impulses. This essay aims to highlight the similarities between the main narrative strategies used by the two directors.

Forming broaden dips in the directional pattern of an adaptive spatial filter with planar antenna array.
Authors:   National Research University «Moscow Power Engineering Institute», Krasnokazarmennaya str., 14, Moscow 111250, Russia, Lishak M.Y.
Published: December 2021

The adaptive antenna array beamforming is used to suppress jammers by placing antenna directional pattern nulls in the directions of the jammer sources. The performance of the beamformer is known to degrade in rapidly moving jammer environments. This degradation occurs due to the jammer motion that can bring the jammers out of the sharp nulls of the adaptive directional pattern. The directional pattern nulls broadening is an effective means to settle this problem. To broaden the nulls, the first derivative of the pattern in the directions of the jammer sources is set equal to zero. Being applied to the beamformer with a linear array, this technique allows producing broaden nulls in the directional pattern. However, in the case of a two-dimensional planar antenna array, the nulls will broaden only in one angular plane. In order to equally broaden the nulls in all angular directions and in this way to make them symmetrical, some additional constraints on the second partial derivatives of the directional pattern should be imposed. To set these constraints, it is necessary to include additional transformed steering vectors of jammers in the basis of the jammer subspace. These new transformed steering vectors are calculated in accordance with the expressions for the second partial derivatives of the directional pattern. In this paper, the expressions for the transformed steering vectors are derived and a novel beamforming algorithm based on them is proposed. In the adaptive beamforming algorithm based on such an approach unknown steering vectors of jammers are replaced by the eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrix corresponding to the largest eigenvalues. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the computer simulation results. The computational complexity of this algorithm is estimated.
Симметрийно-возможный сросток графита и алмаза в металлической матрице
Authors: Талис А. Л. , Крапошин В. С. , Арестов В.
Published: December 2021

Предложена модель сростка графита и алмаза в металлической матрице, основанная на существовании порождающих кластеров тетракоординированных структур, которые представляют собой структурные реализации математических конструкций. Модель показывает перемещения атомов, в результате которых одна структура преобразуется в другую. Выбор таких "математически определенных молекул" однозначно определяется математическими конструкциями, но не физическими (межатомными) взаимодействиями, подобно тому, как пространственные группы определяются чисто аналитически без предположения о существовании атомов.

Published: December 2021

Методом гидродинамики сглаженных частиц в программном комплексе ANSYS AUTODYN воспроизведены основные явления, происходящие при высокоскоростном соударении пластин из технически чистых Fe и Cu, а также сплавов Ti, которые развиваются при сварке взрывом и подобных процессах. Проведены расчеты максимальных значений истинной степени пластической деформации поверхностных слоев, которые достигают ε = 5 и выше. Экспериментально установлено, что протяженных дефектов, длина которых соизмерима с толщиной исходных пластин, при сварке пластичных материалов по оптимальным режимам не образуется. Увеличение прочностных свойств сплавов является фактором, способствующим формированию полос локализованного течения при высокоскоростном нагружении. Характер развития дефектов такого вида соответствует поведению систем с положительной обратной связью. Ширина полос, возникающих при сварке взрывом пластин из двухфазного (α + β) титанового сплава ВТ23, находится в пределах от единиц до десятков микрометров.

The impact of supplier relationships on supply chain performance of trade companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Kozarević Safet , Kovačević Šejla
Published: December 2021

The need for companies' interconnection and advantages of mutual business cooperation led to the development of supply chain management in the 1980s. Along with the intensified market globalization process, companies have become aware of the need to develop efficient supply chains. A supply chain includes a series of activities from planning and organizing to controlling the flow of material and services from suppliers to the final customer. The supply chain effectiveness depends to a large extent on relationships with suppliers. Thus, relationships with suppliers and supply chain performance management are important topics in academic research due to their impact on supply chain profitability. It is particularly evident in the trade industry. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance in the trade industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The empirical research is based on the primary data, collected by using a questionnaire. The respondents are 200 trade companies from the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various statistical analysis methods have been applied to answer the research questions addressing the issues of a potential relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance. The results have shown that supplier relationships positively impact flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality. There is a statistically significant interdependence between partnership and information exchange, as supplier relationships dimensions, and flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality, as supply chain performance dimensions. There is, also, a statistically significant impact of some companies' characteristics on the information exchange, supplier partnership, flexibility, costs, and quality.

Authors: Rrustemi Visar , Baca Granit
Published: December 2021

The aim of this research is to identify social media activities that affect the increase of brand awareness in the fashion industry in Kosovo. The research considers five different social media activities (advertising, influencers, sharing, entertainment, and interaction), and to the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first experiment to consider these factors all together, as well as the first one addressing brand awareness in Kosovo. Quantitative methods were used on a sample of 224 respondents, including confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis. The analysis was conducted by using the AMOS statistical software. The findings indicate that activities, such as interaction and advertising, have a significant impact on brand awareness, unlike entertainment, sharing, and influencers’ behaviour. The findings provide marketers with recommendations regarding social media activities and the challenges that must be considered before they are implemented.
Using stated preference methods to inform public health decision making
Authors: Dukić Samaržija Nikolina
Published: December 2021

Croatia has recognised the importance of prevention programmes in the field of public health, although their effectiveness is not satisfactory due to the low population response, which has a negative impact on the rationalisation of public spending. One of the possible solutions is to consider the stated preferences of the target population. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the use of stated preference methods in improving public health prevention programmes. For the purpose of the study, a questionnaire was designed using three different methods - Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE), Contingent Rating method (CR) and Best-Worst Scaling method (BWS). This study shows that the attributes of the Croatian cervical cancer screening programme are significantly associated with the respondents' utility level, which in turn is related to women's response. Since BWS, DCE, and CR measure the same construct - utility - we can say that convergent validity partially confirms the external validity of the methods. The author concludes that it is necessary to implement market principles, i.e. the demand-side analysis using stated preference methods, in the planning, implementation and re-evaluation of public health programmes.
Empirical investigation of risk management practices
Authors: Nasteckienė Vilma
Published: December 2021

In risk management research, dealing with known risks and helping companies foresee new risks are areas for subject matter experts. In practice, risk management is often perceived as a set of formal tools and procedures that must be delegated to the professionals. Despite this overall perception of risk, general managers, department managers, and other senior or line managers in organizations deal with questions associated with risk on a daily basis. They are, therefore, sometimes—even without consciously realizing it—involved in risk management practices. This article aims to analyze 'managers' involvement in risk management by empirically exploring how managers identify, assess, and respond to risks. Based on thematic analysis of observational and interview data, management practices used to manage risks were identified, and risk management as a non-linear process that is anchored on the strategic and operational levels and supported by learning from failures was defined. Two different ways of risk management can co-exist in an organization as a result of formal Enterprise Risk Management implementation.
Critical success factors in e-marketing adoption and implementation among the fast-moving consumer goods retailers in Zimbabwe
Authors: Masengu Reason , Prinsloo JJ , Pelser Theuns
Published: December 2021

The institutionalization of e-marketing strategies, their adoption, and implementation hinges on the customers' perceptions of the critical success factors that the literature identifies in terms of an online competitive advantage, online shopping infrastructure development, online customer relationship, and online shopping risk. To assess the critical success factors, a sample of 300 customers of the fast-moving consumer goods retailers throughout the provinces of Zimbabwe participated in this study. The results indicated that customers' province of residence, their education and computer literacy levels are significantly associated with the critical success factors (CSFs) of e-marketing adoption and implementation. However, the study found that gender does not significantly affect the e-marketing CSFs. It is suggested that the demographic characteristics, related to education, computer literacy levels, and the province of residence are the strategic criteria for niche market segmentation and development that the fast-moving consumer goods retailers need to leverage for the successful adoption and implementation of e-marketing.
ЛЕКСИКО-СТИЛІСТИЧНІ ОЗНАКИ КОНФЕСІЙНОЇ СФЕРИ В АНГЛІЙСЬКІЙ ТА УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ МОВАХ: ЗІСТАВНИЙ АСПЕКТ (ЧАСТИНА 2)

Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the contrastive analysis of the Ukrainian (Ivan Ohiyenko) and English (King James Bible) translations of the Old Testament (Genesis, Chapter 1) with the purpose to establish their comparative lexical and stylistic features. The assessment of the stylistic devices in the Ukrainian (UTT) and English (ETT) target texts proves a high degree of their similarity. There is a considerable parallelism in the use of repetition, paraphrase, aphorisms, generic nouns, stylistically coloured lexemes, rhetorical address and homogenous elements’ structure. The polysyndeton is a distinctive feature of both texts as well as gradation and a systematic use of archaic or unusual words. The dissimilarities of the two texts include alliterative repetition in verse 10, a double-focus repetition and a weakened polysyndeton in verse 29 in ETT, repetition in ETT (verses 14-15) which appeared to be impossible in UTT due to the specifi c structure used there and the strengthened verb repetition in the refrain of each period in UTT. Other distinctions include a systematic use of the state verb (be) in ETT, whereas the UTT utilizes a range of dynamic verbs indicating the transition from one state to another; the use of two monotypic metaphors in ETT, as compared to neutral lexemes in UTT; or, conversely, the ETT counterpart of an elevated style word is stylistically neutral in UTT. Another divergence is the use of parceling in ETT, which shifts the stylistic emphasis to the parceled fragment, while in the UTT the preference is given to the double synonymic structure; the use of archaism, metaphor and synecdoche in ETT whereas they are absent in UTT. Other unilaterally used stylistic devices include personifi cation in ETT versus alliteration and assonance in UTT; the use of an infi nitive stricture in ETT and a verbal noun in UTT to render purpose; greater variability of attributes (prepositional, postpositional, subordinate clauses), as well as lexical stylistic means in UTT; greater phonetic and lexical diversity of generalizing attributes in UTT. Overall, a somewhat greater variety of lexical stylistic means in UTT may be assumed, although it can hardly be regarded as the latter’s advantage because the standards of stylistic acceptability substantially vary in diff erent languages and cultures. The scope of further research is outlined. Key words: English and Ukrainian languages, Bible (Genesis), comparative stylistics, comparative lexicology, confessional style, teaching translation and interpreting, comparative lexical and stylistic analysis, lexical and stylistic features.
ІНФІНІТИВИ У ФУНКЦІЇ ВТОРИННОГО ПРЕДИКАТА У ТЕКСТІ БІОГРАФІЇ АРТАКСЕРКСА ПЛУТАРХА: ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВІДТВОРЕННЯ У ПЕРЕКЛАДІ НОВОГРЕЦЬКОЮ МОВОЮ

In the article, infi nitives in the function of the secondary predicate, in particular, in the syntactic constructions Accusativus cum infi nitivo, Nominativus cum infi nitivo and in subordinate clauses with the conjunctions ὥστε and πρίν in the text of the biography of Artaxerxes by Plutarch are considered. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the descriptive method (for inventory, classifi cation and grammatical interpretation of infi nitives) and comparative analysis (for identifi cation of grammatical transformations of the ancient Greek infi nitive in New Greek translation and for assessment of their compliance with the original forms) were used. Elements of quantitative analysis have also been involved (to determine the main transformational means of translating infi nitives). The analysis has shown that the infi nitive as an non-fi nite form of the verb is rendered as a fi nite one, the most typical variant of translating the infi nitive in the construction Accusativus cum infi nitivo, in subordinate temporal clauses with the conjunction πρίν, and in the majority of clauses of result with the conjunction ώστε being conditional mood with the particle να (60 %). Infi nitives in the construction Nominativus cum infi nitivо and partly in subordinate clauses with the conjunction ώστε are usually translated by indicatives (35 %); in some cases the infi nitive is reproduced by descriptive expressions (5 %). Grammatical transformations are combined with lexical ones. In the translation, the same verb (15 %) as in Old Greek can be used, or it can be replaced by a synonymous verb (85 %) of New Greek due to the limited use of the corresponding Old Greek words in New Greek or their disappearance. Therefore, the absence of infi nitives in New Greek is represented in translation by other means and techniques, which have an equivalent semantic load and can adequately reproduce the meaning of a sentence with an infi nitive construction, and thus to render Plutarch’s literary passion for multifaceted action and information capacity of the text. Key words: Accusativus cum infi nitivo, Nominativus cum infi nitivo, subordinate clauses with conjunctions ὥστε and πρίν, translation, conditional mood with particle να, indicative mood, descriptive expression.

A pesar de que la ciudad de Buenos Aires es un territorio antropizado en su totalidad existen reductos de vegetación que albergan plantas nativas de ocurrencia espontánea. Aquí informamos el registro de la orquídea terrestre Sacoila lanceolata (Aubl.) Garay dentro del perímetro de la ciudad. La misma fue hallada en el Arboretum del Parque Sarmiento, una clausura reciente de 1000 m2 donde son conservadas especies nativas de la región ribereña bonaerense. Este registro ocurre en el extremo austral de distribución de la especie, donde las demás citas cercanas se ubican a más de 200 km de distancia. Dado lo inesperado de este registro discutimos la naturaleza de su aparición y su relevancia como potencial especie bandera.
The role of choledochoscopy in transductal laparoscopic common bile duct exploration
Authors: Atstupens K. , Plaudis H. , Saukane E. , Rudzats A.
Published: December 2021

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) performed by choledochoscope through the cystic duct or directly through the incision in the common bile duct (CBD) are well established methods for restoring biliary drainage function in patients with choledocholithiasis. Although it plays a crucial role in the transcystic approach, transductal approach can be achieved differently. However, it has restrictions in availability due to its expensiveness.
Objective — to report efficacy of transductal LCBDE without laparoscopic choledochoscopy.
Materials and methods. This is a prospective study of urgently admitted patients who underwent trans‑ductal LCBDE due to confirmed choledocholithiasis. During laparoscopy, clearance of the CBD was achieved in two ways: by choledochoscopy (group CS+, n = 43) and without it (group CS–, n = 34). The data of patient demographics, comorbidities, operative outcomes, morbidity, mortality and long‑term biliary complications were analysed and compared between the groups.
Results. Out of a total of 154 patients with confirmed choledocholithiasis, the trans‑ductal approach of LCBDE was applied to 77 patients. In 43 patients, clearance was done with choledochoscope (group CS+) and in 34 patients without it (group CS–). Gallstone related complications and comorbidities did not differ between the groups. Surgery was done 4 days after admission in both groups. Median duration of the operation was significantly shorter in the group CS–, 93 vs 120 minutes (p = 0.036), without any difference in conversion and complication rates. Clearance rate was markedly high in both groups.
Conclusions. Transductal laparoscopic common bile duct exploration without choledochoscopy is a time‑saving, safe and effective way for CBD clearance, without additional equipment.
Totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair versus Lichtenstein repair: a one-year follow-up study
Authors: Havrylov H. O. , Shulyarenko O. V.
Published: December 2021

The inguinal hernia has an incidence of 27 — 43 % in males. Surgical repair is the most accepted treatment to prevent the development of complications. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become popular worldwide and includes the use of a laparoscopic technique for mesh placement behind the defect.
Objective — to assess whether totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair shows benefits over Lichtenstein repair in intraoperative and one‑year follow‑up postoperative outcomes for male patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia.
Materials and methods. 53 males were randomly allocated to two groups. Group 1 included 27 patients who underwent totally extraperitoneal hernia repair using self‑gripping lightweight mesh, and group 2 included 26 patients who were treated surgically with Lichtenstein repair using lightweight mesh.
Results. Both groups were comparable in mean age, type of hernia, body mass index and patient’s distribution according to the European hernia society classification. TEP repair takes on average a little less time as compared to Lichtenstein repair, and this difference is not statistically significant. The mean of visual analogue scale for pain scoring in the first 24 hours after surgery as well as in the next 24 hours is statistically significantly smaller in group 1 compared to group 2. The mean time taken to return to work was 2.15 times longer in group 2 than in group 1, and the difference was statistically significant.
Conclusions. Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair shows potential benefits over Lichtenstein repair for primary unilateral inguinal hernias as it causes less pain in the postoperative period and ensures early return to work.

Early and late complications after gastric bypass: A literature review
Authors: Nevmerzhytskyi V. O.
Published: December 2021

Over the last few decades, excess weight and obesity have become a considerable health problem that has a lasting impact on communities worldwide. According to the WHO, about 1.9 billion people over the age of 18 are overweight [32]. Obesity accounted for about 4.7 million premature deaths in 2017. Globally, obesity was associated with an increase in mortality rate from 4.5 % in 1990 to 8 % in 2017 [32]. Bariatric surgery is currently recognized as the most effective treatment option for morbid obesity. Over the past 10 years, gastric bypass surgery has proved more effective than any other surgical methods due to its optimal metabolic effects.

The aim of the review is to carry out an analysis of literature data in order to identify main complications after gastric bypass in patients with obesity.

The complication rate after bariatric surgery decreased from 10.5 % in 1993 to 7.6 % in 2006 [3]. The mortality rate after bariatric surgery was 0.08 % within 30 days after surgery and 0.31 % after 30 days [13]. According to the BOLD study (2010), for 57,918 bariatric operations, the complication rate was 6,240 (10.77 %) and the mortality rate was 78 (0.135 %), within 30 days after surgery — 0.089 %, within 90 days after surgery — 0.112 %. Roux‑en‑Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) was carried out in 30,864 cases, and 4,588 (14.87 %) patients developed postoperative complications. Early complications include anastomotic leaks (0 — 5,6 % for laparoscopic approach and 1,6 — 2,6 % — for laparotomy), small bowel obstruction caused by a blood clot (0 — 0,5 %), bleeding from the sutures (1,5 %), and thromboembolic complications (0,2 — 5 %). Late complications include stenosis of the gastrointestinal tract (3 — 27 %), marginal ulceration (MU) — 0,6 — 16 %, an incarcerated Petersen’s space hernia — 2,51 %, perforation of the stomach and small intestine (1 — 2 %), gastrogastric fistula formation — 1,5 — 6,0 %, weight regain (to 17,1 %).

Increasing global demand for bariatric surgery as the best option for the management of excess weight and obesity necessitates more detailed investigation of possible complications it may induce. Therefore, further research is required to develop and study new effective methods for prevention and treatment of complications after surgical treatment of patients with morbid obesity.

Chronic constipation is a frequently diagnosed heterogeneous pathology that significantly impairs the quality of life in all population groups and its frequency increases with age. It commonly affects up to 10 — 15  % of the population. There are numerous classifications of constipation due to a great number of disorders that cause it. The types of constipation are identified based on the etiology or mechanism of its development. Different criteria are used to specify the categorization of constipation, but it is still difficult to find one general classification including all types of constipation. The Rome IV criteria categorize disorders of chronic constipation into four subgroups. The treatment depends on the subtype. The significant increase of constipation cases is observed nowadays. This disorder is facilitated by a sedentary lifestyle, insufficient amount of fiber and fluid in the diet, a wide range of diseases that directly lead to the development of chronic constipation, congenital and acquired pathologies, abnormal intake of laxatives and opioids or a combination of these factors. Despite numerous publications on slow transit constipation, the latter is still the subject of research for many specialists. A lot of recent scientific works have been dedicated to the immunohistochemical studies of interstitial pacemaker cells. The numbers of markers they express were found. Consequently, the investigations of modern scientists are aimed to develop and implement new laboratory methods for determining the indications for surgical treatment depending on a diagnosed disorder of the intestinal neurophysiology. These methods will ensure a differentiated selection of patients for surgical treatment. The step approach to the diagnosis of chronic constipation allows choosing an adequate treatment method in order to improve symptoms, the quality of life, and patient satisfaction. The literature review indicates that surgery still remains the most radical treatment method for patients with slow transit constipation.
