[Suppression of activity of Candida albicans proteinases by cobalt chloride].

Influence of cobalt (II) chloride on the system of Candida albicans proteinase (SAP C. alb.) (both in solution and immobilized on a surface of nitrocellulose membranes) has been investigated.

[Anesthesiological provision of surgical correction of dilated cardiomyopathy in patients with chronic heart failure].

When dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is surgically corrected, intraoperative intracardiac hemodynamic changes and additional ischemia of the disabling myocardium make special demands for anesthesia, prevention of cardiovascular insufficiency, and maintenance of circulatory oxygen-transporting function (COTF). For the development and evaluation of an anesthetic support protocol for patients with DCM, clinical parameters, hemodynamics and oxygen transport was comprehensively analyzed in 50 DCM patients aged 16-68 years in the intraoperative period of surgical correction of myocardial pathology. All the patients underwent implantation of an extracardiac mesh framework in combination, if required, with correction of mitral insufficiency under extracorporeal circulation (EC), drug-induced cold cardioplegia.
