[On selection of external bleeding models for preclinical evaluation of the effectiveness of local haemostatic agents (literature review)].

On selection of external bleeding models for preclinical evaluation of the effectiveness of local haemostatic agents (literature review). To temporarily stop of external bleeding traditionally use a pressure bandage or tourniquet, but not for all types of wounds it is possible and appropriate to apply these dressings. In recent times there has been significant progress in the development and improvement of local haemostatic agents used for the first aid.

[Lines of research in the field of cellular technologies and its application in military medicine].

The paper presents an overview of cellular therapy products and medical tissue engineering of the leading countries of the world (including the US) and identifies lines of research in the field of cellular technology application in the interests of national military medicine. The authors gave information concerning practical implementation of the achievements of biomedical research in the field of regenerative cellular products and technologies in Russia as different products, which may be used at the stages of medical evacuation. The authors presented results of research, which was, performed on the model of mine blast injury in accordance with principle possibility of the usage of cellular technologies products (multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells) in medical practice.

[Treatment of chlamydial infection in chronic prostatitis].

Clinical efficacy of cycloferon (solution for injections) in combination with azitromycin was studied in males with newly diagnosed chronic prostatitis of chlamydial etiology and silent urogenital chlamydial infection. Administration of cycloferon in recommended regimen promotes clinical recovery and prevents recurrences. High clinical efficacy of cycloferon results from immunotropic activity of the drug which normalizes immune response and leads to elimination of the pathogen 3-6 months after the end of the treatment.

[Use of interferon inducers for pharmacological correction of cytokine disturbances in patients with recurrent genital herpes].

The level ofcytokines was studied in the blood of 111 women aged 18 to 56 with recurrent genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or 2 (for the frequency of relapses within 6-9 year) treated with interferon inducers iodantipyrin, cycloferon and amixin in combination with basic aciclovir therapy. It is found that, in patients with clinical effect of treatment (decrease in the frequency of relapses) the level of cytokines of nonspecific immune response (alpha-interferon, beta-interferon, tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and Th1 profile gamma-interferon, interleukin-2) increased and the concentrations of interleukin-10 decreased 1.5-3 months after beginning of drug administration.

[Mechanisms underlying changes in functional properties of red cells in acute action of carbon monoxide].

It has been experimentally established that a single impact of carbon mono-oxide in concentration 4000 mg/m3 during 75 minutes (CL50) in rats is accompanied with disturbance of functional activities of blood red cells in the form of a decrease of deformability and an increase of aggregative capacity of erythrocytes which are most evident to the end of the first day after carbon mono-oxide administration. These changes are combined with structural modification and changes in metabolism of erythrocytic membrane. The signs of structural modification of erythrocytic membrane in rats exposed to acute effect of carbon mono-oxide in a mean lethal concentration stay long remaining during elimination of carboxyhemoglobinemia (up to 14-21 days).
