Results of treatment of 295 patients are presented. Among them there were 128 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis, 109 with acute pancreatitis and 58 with destructive cholecystitis. In the complex treatment extracorporeal methods of detoxication therapy were included: plasmapheresis, hemo- or lymphosorption, perfusion ofautologous blood through the xenogenous spleen. Indications to each of the methods are considered. It was found that when using the therapy in question clinical symptoms of endotoxicosis were eliminated 1.5 times quicker and the leukocytic intoxication index was corrected more successfully as well as was the level of toxins of middle molecular mass, functional activity of blood neutrophils, immune link of homeostasis and ++cardio-hemodynamic parameters.

This procedure is carried out via a full sternotomy using standard aortic and bicaval cannulations. For the aortic and pulmonary anastomoses, selective antegrade unilateral cerebral perfusion is used after cooling the body temperature to 26 °Celsius. A 12-mm Hancock conduit is interposed between the pulmonary artery and the proximal descending aorta using standard running suture techniques.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical treatment for severe cardiopulmonary failure. However, traditional ECMO decannulation methods, such as manual compression and surgical repair, are associated with significant complications. This study evaluates suture-mediated closure devices, specifically Perclose ProGlide, as a potentially favorable decannulation strategy.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteral calculi based on decision tree model.
Methods: A total of 600 patients with ureteral calculi, including 289 treated with FURL and 311 cases with ESWL in Anqing Municipal Hospital from June 2021 to August 2023, were selected as study subjects. Perioperative indicators and stone clearance rate of the two groups were compared, and the preoperative and postoperative (24 and 72 hours) changes of serum creatinine, cystatin C (Cys-C) and microalbumin were observed.
