[Effects of thymus tissue transplantation on the survival of mice exposed to a lethal X-Ray dose.].

During the radiation exposure of the body, processes similar to those characteristic of the natural aging of mammals occur. This phenomenon is most often referred to as accelerated aging. By transplanting the thymus tissue, it is possible to achieve a normalization of food and water consumption, a stabilization of weight gain, and a significant increase in the life expectancy of experimental animals, even after their lethal irradiation.

Incoherent optical fluctuation flowmetry for detecting limbs with hemodynamically significant stenoses in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: The development of new highly accurate, inexpensive and accessible methods for the detection of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD) in diabetic patients is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new incoherent optical fluctuation flowmetry (IOFF) method in detecting legs with hemodynamically significant stenoses compared to ankle brachial index (ABI) and transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Materials And Methods: Patients were recruited into 2 groups.

Skin microvascular reactivity in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Aims: Early detection of microangiopathic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) is necessary to analyze the patient's condition and prevent disease progression. The study was aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of retinopathy and decreased reactivity of the microcirculatory bed in patients with diabetes.

Methods: The study involved 130 subjects: healthy volunteers (n = 48), DM patients without retinopathy (n = 53) and with retinopathy (n = 29).

Laparoscopic cyst enucleation is a promising technique for treatment of gastrointestinal tract duplications in children.

Background: Laparoscopic cyst enucleation has its advantages and limitations in treatment of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) duplications. It allows to avoid bowel resection in such locations as ileocecal valve. We introduced laparoscopic cyst enucleation with further bowel plasty using cyst muscle layer and without monopolar coagulation, for cyst dissection we used straight scissors.

Incoherent Optical Fluctuation Flowmetry: A New Method for the Assessment of Foot Perfusion in Patients with Diabetes-Related Lower-Extremity Complications.

(1) Background: To date, there are no studies evaluating the ability of the incoherent optical fluctuation flowmetry (IOFF) method to assess foot tissue perfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between perfusion values measured by IOFF and TcPO2 in patients with diabetes-related lower-extremity complications. (2) Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional, two-center study.
