Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are involved in bone tissue remodeling due to their ability to differentiate into osteoblasts and to influence osteoclasts' activity. Multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with bone resorption. During disease progression, MSCs acquire a tumor-associated phenotype, losing their osteogenic potential.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) 'educated' by tumor cells are an essential component of the multiple myeloma (MM) tumor microenvironment (TME) involved in tumor progression. Transcription of tandemly repeated (TR) non-coding DNA is often activated in many tumors and is required for tumor progression and cancer cells genome reorganization. The aim of the work was to study functional properties including the TR DNA transcription profile of MSC from the hematopoietic niche of treated MM patients.

With new algorithms of pattern recognition three types of regulation of oxygen delivery and consumption were studied: at normal regulation, hypo- and hyperfunction of heart. It is shown that a surplus systemic blood flow results in increase of arterio-venous shunt flow. Insufficient blood flow results in increase of arterio-venous gradient of blood oxygen content due to the increase of gradient of oxygen content on both sides of capillary wall and to activating of vasomotor function of microcirculatory arterial bed.

Influence of hemodilution on the oxygen metabolism in patients, operated, using the artificial blood circulation apparatus, was studied up. Factors, determining the oxygen delivery to tissues, was estimated, correlational links between the blood rheological properties and its oxygen--transporting function were established. Experience of application of apparatus Aeprex, promoting the oxygen delivery to tissue improvement and the need in donor's blood lowering, performing operations, using the artificial blood circulation apparatus.
