Synthesis and antitumor activity of pyrano[4′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-b]thieno[3,2-d]-1,2,3-triazine and l,2,3-triazino[4′,5′:4,5¦thieno-[2,3-c]isoquinoline derivatives

Methods for the synthesis of new heterosystems of condensed thieno[3,2-d]-1,2,3-triazines on the basis of pyrido[2,3-b]thiophenes have been developed. The antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds was studied and several compounds possessing low toxicity and moderate antitumor activity were found. __________ Translated from Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 3–5, June, 2006.     

Cutaneo-fascial flaps in restorative and reconstructive surgery of burns

On the basis of experience with the treatment of more than 1,500 patients with post-burn defects, deformities, and trophic ulcers, the authors distinguished types of affection in which the traditional methods are ineffective. These 133 patients were subjected to plasty with ++cutaneo-fascial grafts; the zones of donor areas from which the grafts are taken are determined. Plasty with ++cutaneo-fascial grafts is indicated in defects of the face, deformity of the neck, total adduction contracture of the arm, defect of the breast, and affections of the hand, leg, and foot. Concrete grafts and the site from which they are taken for restoration of certain regions of the body are suggested. ++Cutaneo-fascial grafts make it possible to restore the shape, function, and the skin of the involved region.     

A comparative evaluation of methods for detecting duodenogastric reflux in patients with peptic ulcer]

The duodenal contents were examined in 81 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer. Bile acid concentrations, alkaline phosphatase activity, and sodium ion concentration were measured for the detection of duodenogastric reflux. Measurements of sodium ion concentration permitted estimation of the immediate volume of the duodenogastric reflux in the gastric contents. No methods for duodenogastric reflux detection should be given preference in examinations of peptic ulcer patients. Multiple-modality studies appear to be the most effective.
