[First experience of the study "Intramyocardial Multiple Precision Administration of Mononuclear Bone Marrow Cells in the Treatment of Myocardial Ischemia"].

Study aim - to elucidate possibilities of the use of precision administration of mononuclear bone marrow cells (MBMC) for the treatment of myocardial ischemia and heart failure. "Intramyocardial Multiple Precision Administration of Mononuclear Bone Marrow Cells in the Treatment of Myocardial Ischemia" was a double blind randomized placebo controlled study in which we included patients more or equal 6 months after Q-wave myocardial infarction with systolic myocardial dysfunction (ejection fraction <35%), not requiring myocardial revascularization, receiving stable optimal medical therapy for more or equal 8 weeks, and with implanted cardioverter-defibrillator. Transplantation of MBMC was guided by fluoroscopy and tridimensional NOGA XP Cardiac Navigation System.

[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of pathologic tortuosity of carotid and vertebral arteries].

The article summarizes an experience with 179 surgical interventions on patients with pathological tortuosity of brachiocephalic arteries. The optimal described diagnostic algorithm for this pathology included ultrasonic dopplerography, transcranial dopplerography, angiography or magnetic resonance tomography in the angiography regimen. Clinical and angiographic indications to surgical treatment of this pathology were determined.

[Value of scanning electron microscopy in evaluation of peripheral red blood cells shape in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis for treatment effectiveness evaluation].

The morphology of red blood cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was studied by scanning electron microscopy during enterosorption. The use of an enterosorbent caused a significant decrease in the count of abnormally changed cell elements and an increase in normocytes, which suggests that detoxification has a stimulating effect. Enterosorption promotes less content of altered peripheral red blood cells, which leads to improvement of its cellular composition in the presence of clinical manifestations of the decreased rate of a tuberculous process in the lung and which is suggestive of the detoxifying impact of this treatment.

[Scanning electron microscopy in the assessment of erythrocyte shape in peripheral blood of patients with anthracotic tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis].

Morphology of peripheral blood red cells was investigated in the course of enterosorption in patients with anthracotic and lung tuberculosis by means of scanning electron microscopy. Application of enterosorbent noticeably reduced the number of normocytes, this evidencing stimulating effect of detoxication. The proportion of deformed red cells lowered in parallel to inhibiting activity of tuberculous process activity in the lungs as a result of detoxicating effect of the treatment.

[The interrelation of bovine and human tuberculosis].

For the last 5 years, the examination of the farms in the Ukrainian SSR revealed the following distribution of Mycobacterium cultures isolated from cattle: M. bovis, 50.5%, M.
