[Effects of efferent methods of treatment on hemostasis in patients with postinfarction aneurysms of the left ventricle].

Surgical operation of coronary shunting with resection of postinfarction aneurysm of the left ventricle (PALV) had to be done on 65 patients. Automatic plasmapheresis (AP) and plasmothrombocytopheresis (PTCA) were performed in the reoperation period for transfusion maintenance. The cellular composition of peripheral blood was not changed under the influence of cellular operations with the exception of thrombocytes: after PTCA their content was reliably decreased.

[Intraoperative reservation of auto-blood in surgical treatment of ischemic heart disease].

The article presents results of using the method of intraoperative autotransfusion in surgical treatment of IHD. It was shown that in patients with IHD intraoperative reservation of 400 ml of autoblood at the stage of surgical access (prior to infusion of heparin) during coronary shunting did not lead to disturbances of hemodynamics, gas exchange and oxygen-transporting function of blood. The following transfusion of predonated autoblood at the final stage of operation promotes the early reestablishment of the circulating erythron and allows to reduce the requirement of transfusion of the donor erythrocyte concentrate by 26.

[Various cellular mechanisms of the action of laser irradiation of blood].

Effect of in vitro exposure to therapeutic He-Ne laser at a wave-length of 630 nm in two modes, 2 and 6 mWt, on the function of blood cells is studied. Exposure to 6 mWt resulted in spontaneous increase of interleukin-1 production by peripheral blood mononuclears. 2 mWt exposure led to increase of erythrocyte deformability and decrease of their viscosity, whereas 6 mWt exposure did not modify these parameters.
