[The autotransfusion of ultraviolet-irradiated blood in the rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease at a sanatorium]. / Autotransfuziia ul'trafioletovom obluchennoi krovi pri reabilitatsii bol'nykh ishemicheskoi bolezn'iu serdtsa v sanatorii.

Autotransfusion of blood exposed to UV irradiation proved highly effective in multimodality rehabilitation treatment of coronary patients with the disease functional classes II and III. Short-term and long-term results indicate a positive effect on hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperglycosuria, hemodynamics, exercise tolerance. The method is recommended for use in sanatoria and outpatient clinics.

For 3 months experimental dogs were exposed to +Gz acceleration applied 3 times a day for 3 days a week. The initial acceleration value was 8-9 G, then the parameter varied, depending on the tolerance limit which was evaluated with respect to heart rate disorders. Biochemical measurements showed the largest changes (decrease in total protein, increase in sugar, bilirubin, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase and transaminases) after the first day of the repeated exposure to +Gz. Following 1-3 months of the exposure, the changes decreased significantly; however, the K+ concentration continued to decline and that of alkaline phosphatase continued to increase. The results obtained indicate the development of adaptation to repeated +Gz exposures which differs from that to short-term exposures.
