[Lymphocyte peptide index in evaluation of the severity of the conditions of patients in critical states].

The article presents results of determination of the peptide index in patients in critical state. The diagnostic value of the lymphocyte peptide index for an adequate estimation of severity of the patients' state and possible prognosis of their disease was determined.

[Evaluation of the functional activity of the liver following its heterotopic transplantation in experimental acute hepatic insufficiency].

The functional activity of the transplanted (additional) liver and its efficiency in the treatment of critical hepatic insufficiency was studied in experiments on dogs. Without an immunosuppression being used the additionally transplanted liver manifests its functional activity in the recipient's organism within 4 days and is able to support the animal's life for 3-4 days.

[Conservation of the functional capacity of the isolated liver during its hypothermic perfusion with eryhem: experimental study].

The functional capacity of the dog's isolated liver was studied in experiment during a 3-hour period of conservation by the method of hypothermal (+8 degrees) perfusion with a solution containing free hemoglobin in concentration 1,8--2,0 g% and under conditions of the following normo-thermal artificial circulation of blood in the isolated organ. It was established that the presence of erygem as a component of the perfusate enables oxygen requirements of the preserved liver to be fully satisfied.
