[Plasma dehydratation self-organization in patients with coronary heart].

The functional morphology of biological fluids is a basically new branch of science, which is based on the study of a result of phase change processes in the substrate under study. The paper shows the specific features of plasma spatial organization in patients with chronic and acute coronary heart disease (CHD). The findings may be used as an additional criterion for the differential diagnosis of the above forms of CHD and open up a new line in the diagnosis and risk stratification in CHD patients.

[Effect of high concentrations of glucose on physiological parameters of platelets in patients with ischemic heart disease.].

Analysis of functional state of the erythrocyte system was carried out in 45 patients with stable class II and III angina including those with concomitant non insulin dependent diabetes and in 15 practically healthy subjects. The analysis was made in the process of upsetting the balance of the erythrocyte system by incubation with high concentrations of glucose in vitro. Functional state of erythrocytes was assessed by construction of fragments of a phase portrait on a plane representing relationship between dimensions of erythrocytes, glucose concentration and rate of the above mentioned process.

Low-intensity indocyanine-green laser phototherapy of acne vulgaris: pilot study.

Near infrared (NIR) diode laser low-intensity (soft) phototherapy with the topical application of indocyanine green (ICG) has been suggested for treatment of acne vulgaris. Twelve volunteers with acne lesions on their faces and/or backs were enrolled in the experiment. Skin areas of the subjects that were 4 x 5 cm2 were stained with ICG solution for 5 min before laser irradiation (803 nm) at a power density up to 50 mW/cm2 for 5 to 10 min.

A pilot study of ICG laser therapy of acne vulgaris: photodynamic and photothermolysis treatment.

Background And Objectives: The near-infrared (NIR) laser radiation due to its high penetration depth is widely used in phototherapy. In application to skin appendages, a high selectivity of laser treatment is needed to prevent light action on surrounding tissues. Indocyanine green (ICG) dye may provide a high selectivity of treatment due to effective ICG uploading by a target and its narrow band of considerable absorption just at the wavelength of the NIR diode laser.
