[Comparative assessment of immediate outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and lesion of the brachiocephalic arteries].

From 2000 to 2011, a total of 52 patients with combined atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary and brachiocephalic arteries were subjected to a single-stage operation. Depending on the type of operative intervention, all patients were subdivided into two groups: Group One comprising 13 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a combination with simultaneous stenting of the internal carotid artery, and Group Two consisting of 39 patients subjected to CABG with simultaneous carotid endarterectomy. Assessing the intraoperative parameters revealed that in Group One patients the average duration of operations was significantly lower (179.

Presented herein are the results of successful surgical treatment for a combined atherosclerotic lesion of arteries of the coronary and carotid basin in a patient with coronary artery disease.

[Recognition receptors of innate immunity (NLR, RLr, and CLR)].

Current concepts of recognition receptors of innate immunity (pattern-recognition receptors, PRR) are discussed in the review. Structural and functional features of receptors from the families NOD-like receptors (NLRs), RIG-like receptors (RLRs), and C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) are described. These receptors are found on cell surface or in cytoplasm, and also could be presented in organism in secretory form.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the combined therapy of glomerulonephritis].

As many as 51 patients afflicted with glomerulonephritis were examined. Of these, 26 received multimodality treatment including hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) sessions. The efficacy of the multimodality treatment was assessed from the totality of the clinico-biochemical parameters, measurements of the activity of lipid peroxidation, appraisal of the condition of the antioxidant body systems, the activity of A2 phospholipase and the lipid phase of erythrocytic membranes.
