Photochromic and luminescence properties of a hybrid compound based on indoline spiropyran of the coumarin type and azomethinocoumarin.

A novel hybrid compound whose molecule includes the photochromic spiropyran fragment and two fluorophores - coumarin and salicylideneimine - was synthesized by the reaction of two equivalents of 8-formyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin with 5-amino-1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methyleneindoline. Its spectral-kinetic and fluorescence properties were studied in comparison with model compounds - 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-coumarin, spiropyran of the coumarin type, and azomethinocoumarin in toluene and ethanol. It was shown that the hybrid compound exhibited photochromic transformations in both solvents.

[DIRECT REVASCULIZATION OF THE MYOCARDIUM FROM LEFT-SIDE MINITHORACOTOMY - MODERN PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATION NAMED AFTER V.I. KOLESOV].

The article provides the results of minimally invasive direct revasculization of myocardium at the period from 2012 to 2014. Given method was used in 49 interventions. There weren't any lethal cases or myocardial infarctions.

[Application of a device for determination of the transplant length during operation of the aorta-coronary bypass].

Determination of the necessary length of the bypass is one of the principal stages of operation of the aorta-coronary bypass. The greatest difficulty of the determination of the bypass length is the first-priority applying of proximal anastomoses. It requires the surgeon to have great experience, the operation to be longer.

[Specific features of the technique of performing coronary bypass operations on the beating heart].

The article presents a technique of performing coronary bypass operations on the beating heart used by the authors in 847 patients which is based on high thoracic epidural anesthesia, primary formation of proximal anastomoses of the aorto-coronary bypasses and specified succession of the formation of distal, stabilization of the local part of the heart in the field of placing distal anastomosis and access to the lateral and posterior surface of the heart with vacuum stabilizers, using blower-humidifier and intracoronary shunts.
