[Preparation of hemopoietic stem cells for transplantation to adult patients with malignant neoplasms].

The paper reports a review and analysis of the literature on preparation of hemopoietic stem cells (HSC) for allogeneic and autologic transplantation to adult patients with malignant neoplasms. Original data on the collection of HSC from different sources are presented along with prognostic factors for preparing sufficient amounts of HSC. The cells were obtained from a total of 122 subjects (298 procedures).

[Chronic heart failure: structural and microbiological changes in the colon].

Aim: To study microbiocenosis of the parietal layer of the colon and feces, concentrations of endotoxin and proinflammatory cytokines in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) of different functional classes vs. healthy subjects of the same age.

Material And Methods: The trial includes 37 patients with ischemic CHF and 13 healthy volunteers.

[Microcirculatory bed and epithelial reproduction in avian liver at different stages of ontogenesis following a single exposure to hyperthermic conditions].

The aim of the present work was to study the reactive changes in avian (chicken) hepatic microcirculatory bed and epithelium following a single exposure to hyperthermic conditions at different stages of ontogenesis. Application of morphometric methods resulted in a demonstration of a unidirectional response of hepatic acinus vascular bed in embryonic period and after hatching of the birds, as well as differently directed effects of the mechanisms of cellular reproduction. In both experimental groups, heat shock results in the destructive changes in hepatic epithelium.
