[DYNAMICS OF HEPATIC BLOOD FLOW IN IMMEDIATE PERIOD AFTER PREOPERATIVE EMBOLIZATION OF A PORTAL VEIN].

The changes in intrahepatic blood flow, occuring after embolization of right branch (ERB) of portal vein (PV) in 42 patients, to whom a major hepatic resection was planned for focal hepatic diseases, were analyzed. Together with cessation of blood flow along the PV embolized branch, there was noted the enhancement of the volume blood flow along the PV left branch by 226% on the third day after embolization with its subsequent enhancement by 337% comparing with initial one. Enhancement of a volume blood flow along right hepatic artery (HA) by 282% was noted on the third day after ERB PV with subsequent nonsignificant reduction, and a blood flow along the left hepatic artery branch did not change essentially.

[IMMUNOLOGICAL FACTORS OF THE INNATE IMMUNITY IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA OF A LARGE SIZE].

Factors of the inborn immunity in patients, suffering hepatocellular carcinoma of large size, were studied. Preoperatively the raising of metabolic activity of neutrophils in spontaneous NST-test, the neutrophils reserve reduction in NST-test, weak activation of the neutrophils absorption function in a phagocytosis reaction were noted. On the 7-8th postoperative day a reduction of quantity of formazan--positive neutrophils in spontaneous NST--test, raising of reserve of the neutrophils metabolic activity, comparing with initial values, were observed.
