This study evaluates the performance advancement of electronic noses, on-chip engineered multisensor systems, exploiting a combinatorial approach. We analyze a spectrum of metal oxide semiconductor materials produced by individual methods of liquid-phase synthesis and a combination of chemical deposition and sol-gel methods with hydrothermal treatment. These methods are demonstrated to enable obtaining a fairly wide range of nanomaterials that differ significantly in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphological features.

In case of pathological changes in the middle and posterior stroma, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is performed. Chronic corneal edema caused by endothelial dysfunction is an indication for endothelial keratoplasty - Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) or Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Material And Methods: Group 1 - 44 patients (46 eyes) with FECD, group 2 - 42 patients (42 eyes) with BK. All patients underwent keratoplasty.
The article presents results obtained on several types of model cultures. Primary cultures of corneal epithelial cells and fibroblast-like cells from the limbus were obtained from the tissues of the anterior eye segment. Tests were performed on these cultures to determine the cytotoxicity of antiglaucoma drugs and to trial a protection method.
