[Perioperative strokes in cardiac surgery].

The frequency of perioperative stroke in cardiosurgical practice may reach up to 10%. The risk of stroke is especially high after coronary artery bypass surgery and valve replacement. Perioperative stroke is related to embolism with the fragments of atherosclerotic plaque, arterial hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, hypercoagulation, etc.

[Decision-making while implantation of biodegradable vascular scaffolds ABSORB based on methods of intravascular visualization].

A series of studies demonstrated comparability of the incidence rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in the middle-term postoperative period following implantation of last-generation drug-coated stents and biodegradable intravascular scaffolds. It was noted observed that these complications may be associated with malposition and inadequate inappropriate preparation of the lesion. We carried out a total of 16 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with implantation of absorbable vascular scaffolds (Absorb, Abbott Vascular) under the guidance of optical coherent tomography.

[Recovery of various parameters of the functional state of the reproductive system in thymectomized rats as affected by thymic membrane factor].

Ten-month-old male rats thymectomized in early post-puberty were ascertained to have lower plasma luteinizing and testicular hormones and higher testicular steroid dehydrogenase activity. Following 24 hours of administration of a thymocyte membrane structural agent, pituitary gonadotropic and gonadal androgenic functions became normal. There was no agreement between the hormonal parameters and the levels of nucleic acids in the testes and prostate.

[Biochemical and morphological aspects of the aggregation capability of thrombocytes in peritonitis].

44 patients with peritonitis of different etiology and two groups of differently-aged donors (19 persons) have been examined. Blood plasma levels of malonic dialdehyde and platelet morphological properties have been studied. In patients with peritonitis platelets are deformed and solid platelet aggregates are observed.
