[The use of photomodified blood in oncology]. / K probleme ispol'zovaniia fotomodifitsirovannoi krovi v onkologii.

Under study was the influence of different regimens of blood photomodification on the course of the tumor process. Experiments were carried out on 460 syngeneic mice with a model of Lewis adenocarcinoma of lungs and melanoma B 16. It was established that the influence of APMB on the course of the tumor process is dose-dependent and when specially selected the regimen of APMB may have an antitumoral effect. The transfusion of the photomodified donor blood may facilitate the suppression of antitumoral immune reaction of the recipient organism.

[Possibilities of using UV-irradiated blood in the prevention of serum hepatitis after blood transfusions during surgery]. / Vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniia UF-oblucheniia krovi v profilaktike syvorotochnogo gepatita pri gemotransfuziiakh v khirurgii.

It was shown in 31 samples of donor blood containing HBsAg that independent of the irradiation dose HBsAg was not detected in 66.7% of the photomodified blood when using short wave UV radiation. Long-wave UV radiation provides disappearance of HBsAg in 50%. A conclusion is made on expedience of irradiation of the donor blood with ultraviolet rays before transfusion.

[The role of daylight on the blood in the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of blood transfusion]. / Ro'l vozdeistviia dnevnogo sveta na kro'v v mekhanizme lecheb- nogo éffekta gemotransfuzii.

The authors studied the influence of daylight upon peroxidase activity and lipid content in neutrophils by means of cytochemical reactions in blood smears. In the experimental series of studies the blood was taken and stored without daylight. Control blood samples were kept under normal conditions. The studies have shown daylight to be a potent activator of redox processes and lipid metabolism in neutrophils. Similar effect upon peroxidase activity and lipid content in neutrophils is exerted by one calculated dose of long-wave UV rays, two doses inhibiting these processes. Taking and storing blood without daylight contributes to longer valuable morphological and functional condition of the formed elements.

[Significance of blood groups in surgical practice]. / Znachenie grupp krovi v khirurgicheskoi praktike.

Based on their personal experience and analysis of literature data the authors elucidate the significance of achievements of the present-day immunohematology in surgical practice: in blood transfusion, allotransplantation, the connection of surgical diseases with group antigens of blood.

[Value of dosimetric control of ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood in surgical practice]. / Znachenie dozimetricheskogo kontrolia pri obluchenii autokrovi ul'trafioletovymi luchami v khirurgicheskoi praktike.

Photometric measurements have shown that during UV irradiation of autoblood in the apparatus "Izolda" the dose of the falling UV irradiation does not remain constant. It becomes less with the term of work of the quartz-mercury lamp and at the expense of the film formed on the walls of the quartz flask of blood cells and plasma components. Therefore for the comparative assessment of the biological and clinical effects in photomodification of autoblood and its transfusion it is necessary to measure the dose of the falling UVI.

[Ambulatory treatment of peptic ulcer by autologous transfusion of photo-modified blood]. / Lechenie iazvennoi bolezni autotransfuziiami fotomodifitsirovannoi krovi v ambulatornykh usloviiakh.

The authors have determined indications and contraindications for using the method of haemotherapy based upon their experience with more than 1200 transfusions of photomodified autoblood under conditions of the hospital and 84 AUVIBs under the ambulatory conditions. The treatment of non-complicated forms of ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum is shown to be possible under the ambulatory conditions, cicatrization of the ulcers developing 2-3 times more rapidly than under the currently used treatment of the ulcer disease under conditions of the hospital.

[Various aspects of perestroika in surgery and blood transfusion]. / O nekotorykh aspektakh perestroiki v khirurgii i transfuziologii.

The author considers different aspects of perestroika in medical science and health protection concerned with surgery and transfusiology which are necessary for improving the quality and effectiveness of medical aid to people.

[The 70th anniversary of Soviet blood transfusion]. / K 70-letiiu Sovetskoi transfuziologii.

The article describes the achievements of transfusiology in the USSR for the period from 1917 till 1987. The leading role of Soviet scientists in the development of all main problems of the present-day transfusiological science and practice is stressed.

[The use of preserved photomodified autoblood for the prevention of thromboembolic complications in surgical interventions on the small pelvis]. / Primenenie konservirovannoi fotomodifitsirovannoi autokrovi dlia profilaktiki tromboémbolicheskikh oslozhnenii pri operativnykh vmeshatel'stvakh v malom tazu.

The method of UV irradiation of autoblood followed by infusion in the early postoperative period was used in 109 patients subjected to various operative interventions on the small pelvis organs. It was established that the infusion of autologous photomodified blood allowed to avoid postoperative thromboembolic complications.

[Effect of the autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood on the homeostatic indices of surgical patients]. / Vliianie autotransfuzii UF-obluchennoi krovi na nekotorye pokazateli gomeostaza khirurgicheskikh bol'nykh.

The investigation of parameters of hemograms, biochemical composition of blood, hemostasis, certain indicators of the immunological status in transfusing UV-irradiated autologous blood the authors made a conclusion that this variant of autohemotransfusion exerted a specific effect on the patient's organism. It depended on the scheme of irradiation of the blood, number of sessions of autotransfusions and intervals between them.

[Effect of autologous blood transfusion using UV-irradiated blood on the hemostasis system in patients with stomach and duodenal ulcers]. / Vliianie autotransfuzii UF-obluchennoi krovi bol'nym iazvennoi bolezn'iu zheludka i dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki na sistemy gemostaza.

The effect of autotransfusions of blood irradiated by long-wave UV rays on the system of hemostasis was studied in 22 patients with ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum. It was shown that transfusion of the autoblood irradiated by long-wave UV rays in a certain dosage decreased the hemostatic potential of blood improving its rheological properties and facilitated the stimulation of reparative processes.
