[The use of xenogeneic splenic perfusates for treating suppurative-septic diseases].

It was shown in experiments on a model of fatal staphylococcal sepsis in 200 mice and 15 dogs that the perfusate of a pig's spleen obtained by perfusion of the isolated organ with a dextran solution (rheopolyglucin, polyglucin) is capable of preventing the animals' death. Intravenous infusion of 400-500 ml of a xenospleen perfusate at an interval of 1-3 days, which was included in the complex of postoperative treatment of 45 patients with destructive diseases of the abdominal organs complicated by peritonitis and sepsis, contributed to reduction of lethality and the terms of recovery. It is shown that the main effect, besides detoxification, is based on immunomodulation at the cost of biologically active substances produced by the cells of a xenospleen and contained in the perfusate.

[Magnetic-laser irradiation of the liver in the treatment and prevention of hepatic insufficiency in mechanical jaundice].

The effect of magnetolaser irradiation on the liver in obstructive jaundice was studied in experiments on 500 rats. Magnetolaser irradiation was found to have a favourable effect on the functional morphology of the liver; it levels many morphological signs of hepatic insufficiency and thus provides the grounds for carrying out an operation on the bile ducts under optimal conditions. The suggested method of magnetolaser therapy was applied in 142 patients with hepatic insufficiency in obstructive jaundice.

[Antitoxic action of laser radiation on CC14-damaged hepatocytes].

It has been shown in rat experiments that low-energy laser (transcutaneous action on liver tissue) increases the functional activity of intact hepatocytes, activating the regeneration of injured parenchyma.
