[Morphologic and functional properties of blood cells and blood rheologic parameters after plasmapheresis in patients with unstable angina pectoris]. / Morfofunktsional'nye svoistva kletok krovi i reologicheskie parametry krovi posle plazmafereza u bol'nykh s nestabil'noi stenokardiei.

The state of surface membrane of red blood cells and blood platelets, blood platelet adhesion to glass, red blood cell deformability, viscosity of the whole blood and plasma were studied in patients with coronary heart disease who had been subjected to blood gravitation surgery correction in the combined treatment. Normalization of all the parameters studied was recorded after inclusion of the methods of extracorporeal regulation of blood aggregation into the combined treatment. An attempt has been made to explain the mechanisms of gravitation surgery effect on the morphological and functional properties of blood cells and rheologic parameters.

Red cell and platelet surface membranes, platelet adhesion to glass were examined in coronary patients treated among other treatment modalities with gravitation surgical correction of the blood. Scanning electron microscopy was used in the study. The studies revealed the minimal injurious effect of the extracorporeal contour on blood cells; a manifest improvement of cellular morphology and function was observed after a course of procedures. An attempt was made to assess the mechanism of gravitation surgery effect on blood cells.
