ABSTRACT
Hemosorption was included in combined treatment of 110 patients with atherosclerotic dyscirculatory encephalopathy combined with coronary heart disease. The effect was assessed on the basis of clinical improvement, psychological tests, blood lipid assays, compressed spectral EEG analysis and ultrasonic flowmetry of the carotid arteries. The effectiveness of hemosorption was demonstrated at all stages of the disease, with the regression of general cerebral and focal neurologic symptoms preceding clinical remission of coronary heart disease. Hemosorption was shown to have good effects on blood lipids, cerebral circulation and EEG spectrograms.

Eighty-three patients were treated with hemosorption and essential phospholipids for coronary heart disease (CHD) and followed up for 3-5 years. The new approach to the treatment of CHD involves simultaneous removal of cholesterol-rich atherogenic lipoproteins by hemosorption and administration of essential phospholipids to increase cholesterol withdrawal from the cells. This combined treatment of coronary patients is shown to normalize cholesterol metabolism, improve microcirculation, increase stress tolerance and bring about an obvious clinical remission. The good clinical effect is corroborated by the results of bicycle ergometry and data on lipid spectrum, cholesterol metabolism, microcirculation and radio-isotope studies.

Complex differential-diagnostic immunodiffusional test for a number of blood plasma proteins, antigens of liver tissue and alpha-fetoprotein was used to evaluate the liver tissue functional state. The test characterized more distinctly the liver tissue function as compared with estimation of individual proteins and was more informative in diagnosis of liver tissue disorders.
