[Comparison of the efficiency of transluminal balloon angioplasty using EucaTAX and Cypher stents in patients with stable coronary heart disease].

Objective: To compare the long-term results of transluminal balloon coronary angioplasty in patients after implantation of drug-eluting coronary artery stents with permanent or biosoluble polymer coatings.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective, comparative, single-center trial. It enrolled patients having at least 70% stenosis who had undergone intracoronary Cypher (SES) or EucaTAX (EUPES) stent implantation.

[Antioxidant status and restenosis after stenting of coronary arteries].

Aim: To investigate possibility of effect of antioxidant status on severity of restenosis of coronary arteries after transluminal coronary angioplasty with stenting.

Material And Methods: Men with ischemic heart disease and coronary angiography performed in 6 months after coronary artery stenting with bare stents were included in this study. Coronary angiograms were subjected to quantitative computer analysis.

[Effect of intermittent hypoxic hypoxia on energy supply of rat skeletal muscle during adaptation to physical load].

The experiment, on Wistar male rats was carried out to investigate influence of endurance training (swimming with load 7.0 +/- 1.3% body weight, 30 min a day, during 4 weeks) and additional intermittent hypoxic training (12% O2 in N2 - 15 min, 21% O2 - 15 min, 5 sessions a day, during the first 2 weeks) on the following parameters: ADF-stimulated mitochondrial respiration, lactate/pyruvate ratio, succinate dehydrogenase activity, and lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle.

[Changes of regional hemodynamics and microcirculation in tissues of lower extremities in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis in stages I and II].

Basing on analysis of results of ultrasonic investigation and laser Doppler flowmetry, performed in 125 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower extremities arteries in I-II stages, the criterions of the chronic arterial insufficiency severity diagnosis were determined. There was established, that in high functional reserve of microcirculation present it is expedient to recommend to the patients the conservative treatment, as well as physiotherapeutic and sanatorium health resort procedures.
