Введение. Терапевтическое использование раствора человеческого альбумина у пациентов в периоперационном периоде трансплантации печени (ТП) представляет интерес в контексте осложнений и исходов операции. Цель исследования: оценить влияние интраоперационной трансфузии 25% раствора человеческого альбумина на течение раннего послеоперационного периода при ортотопической ТП от посмертного донора. Материалы и методы. В исследование включены 47 пациентов, которым была выполнена трупная ТП. Были сформированы 2 группы: пациенты группы 1 (n = 21) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в конце операции ТП и через 24 ч после операции; пациенты группы 2 (n = 26) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в первые сутки послеоперационного периода. Осуществляли контроль лабораторных параметров крови пациента перед началом оперативного вмешательства, через 24 ч и через 48 ч после операции. Интраоперационно оценивали значения систолического (САД) и диастолического (ДАД) артериального давления, частоту сердечных сокращений (ЧСС), дозу вазопрессоров, объем инфузионно-трансфузионной терапии, кровопотерю и диурез. В послеоперационном периоде фиксировали возможные осложнения, проведенные сеансы заместительной почечной терапии (ЗПТ), а также количество дней в стационаре. Результаты. Оценка значений САД, ДАД и ЧСС в начале и конце операции показала достоверно лучшие показатели гемодинамики и снижение дозировок вазопрессорной поддержки в конце вмешательства в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2 (p < 0,05). В послеоперационном периоде инфекционные осложнения зарегистрированы у одного пациента группы 1 и у трех пациентов группы 2. Проведение ЗПТ потребовалось двум пациентам из группы 2. Все пациенты обеих групп были выписаны из стационара, при этом число дней госпитализации в группе 2 было статистически значимо больше по сравнению с пациентами группы 1: 26,9 ± 3,9 против 17,2 ± 4,3 (p < 0,05). Заключение. Интраоперационная инфузия 25% раствора альбумина позволяет стабилизировать показатели гемодинамики в конце операции ТП, снизить потребность в кардиотонической поддержке и сократить время госпитализации у пациентов после ТП. Background. The therapeutic use of human albumin solution in patients in the perioperative period of liver transplantation (LT) is of interest in the context of complications and outcomes of surgery. Objectives: to assess the effect of intraoperative transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the early postoperative period in orthotopic LT from a postmortem donor. Patients/Methods. The study included 47 patients who underwent cadaveric LT. Two groups were formed: patients in group 1 (n = 21) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution at the end of LT and 24 hours after surgery; patients in group 2 (n = 26) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the first day of the postoperative period. The laboratory parameters of the patient’s blood were monitored before surgery, 24 hours later, and 48 hours after surgery. Intraoperatively, the values of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate (HR), dose of vasopressors, volume of infusion- transfusion therapy, blood loss and diuresis were assessed. In the postoperative period, possible complications, renal replacement therapy (RRT) sessions performed, and the number of days in the hospital were recorded. Results. Assessment of SBP, DBP and HR values showed significantly better hemodynamic parameters and reduced dosages of vasopressor support at the end of surgery in group 1 compared to group 2 (p < 0.05). In the postoperative period, infectious complications were registered in one patient of group 1 and in three patients of group 2. Two patients from group 2 required RRT. All patients were discharged from the hospital, while the number of hospitalization days in group 2 was statistically significantly greater than in patients in group 1: 26.9 ± 3.9 versus 17.2 ± 4.3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Intraoperative infusion of 25% albumin solution allows stabilizing hemodynamic parameters at the end of LT surgery, reducing the need for cardiotonic support and shortening the hospitalization time in patients after LT.

Objective. To study the adaptive capacity of a single remaining kidney in the early postoperative period of nephrectomy in an experiment. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 35 laboratory white rats, which were divided into three experimental groups. Group 1 (n = 5) intact animals, group 2 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy on the left; group 3 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy and additionally were created 90 minute hypoxic hypoxia. Histological material was collected on the 5th, 21st and 60th days after surgery. Results. Characteristic morphological changes in the only remaining kidney were an increase in the size of the glomeruli and a decrease in their number. Nephron fibrosis was detected, accompanied by increased production of antigens by the tubular epithelium, which is likely a response to a cascade increase in oxidative stress and increased release of cytokines that stimulate the production of intrarenal collagen. Conclusion. Nephrectomy and hypoxia are provocateurs for the development of systemic distress syndrome, the result of which is the formation of a vicious pathogenetic circle, which reduces the functionality of the renal tissue. This can be considered as one of the early preclinical mechanisms for the initiation of single kidney disease in the future.

Autotransfusion of the residual blood from the cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit is considered to be one of the methods enabling reduction in the need for transfusion, the possible adverse effects of which are well known and documented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the autologous autotrans-fusion of centrifuged red blood cells from the residual blood of the CPB circuit in patients following heart surgery. Three groups of patients who underwent heart surgery were examined. The first group (Group 1) consisted of 37 patients who received all of the residual blood in the bypass circuit after CPB (collected into sterile plastic bags) during the early postoperative period. The second group (Group 2) consisted of 45 patients who did not receive the residual blood following CPB. The third group (Group 3) consisted of 42 patients who underwent re-infusion of centrifuged red blood cells from the residual blood remaining in the CPB circuit during the early postoperative period. Hematocrit (Hct) values 12 hours after the operation were found to be higher in Group 3 compared with those of the first and the second groups (by 13.2% and 11.1%, respectively). Blood loss during the first 12 hours after the operation and during the time spent in the intensive care unit did not differ between the groups. The number of transfusions was significantly lower in Group 3 (28.57%) in comparison with that of Groups 1 and 2 (37.83% and 38.10%, respectively). The rate of infective complications in Group 3 was lower in comparison with both Group 1 and Group 2 (9.2% and 18.1%, respectively). The duration of in-hospital stay in Group 3 was 25.8% shorter than Group 1. We conclude that autotransfusion of centrifuged red blood cells processed from the residual blood of the CPB circuit after CPB was effective in increasing Hct values 12 hours postoperatively, reducing the need for donor blood product transfusions, the rate of infective complications and lenght of stay in hospital.

Aim. To compare the results of lower limb revascularization in patients with diffuse lesions of lower limb arteries who underwent femoral-distal bypass surgery and isolated reconstruction of the deep femoral artery (DFA) in the immediate postoperative period.Materials and methods. The study included 86 patients with diffuse arterial lesions of lower extremities, 52 (60.4%) men and 34 (39.6%) women with the average age of 67.3 ± 16.8 years. All patients had diffuse lesions of the arteries below the Poupart’s ligament; the condition of the lower leg arteries was 5–8.5 points on the Rutherford scale. Trophic ulcers were present in all cases. Group 1 included 48 patients who underwent reconstruction of lower leg arteries. Group 2 included 38 patients whose surgical intervention was limited to endarterectomy from the common femoral and deep femoral arteries.Results. In the early postoperative period, 1 (2.1%) patient (from group 1) died from developed myocardial infarction. The patient underwent a femoral-popliteal-tibial bypass surgery with a composite Y-shaped graft. In group 2, no fatal complications were observed. After the operation, all patients demonstrated an increase in the linear blood flow velocity in the arteries of the foot and the transcutaneous oxygen tension (TOT). The TOT level 14 days after surgery comprised 44.1 mm Hg and 39.9 mm Hg (p> 0.05) in groups 1 and 2, respectively.Conclusions. In 86.8% of patients, isolated profundoplasty followed by vasotropic therapy allows the target values of TOT to be obtained, which is necessary for successful healing of lower limb trophic ulcers.

The problem of sternal osteosynthesis after cardiac surgery is relevant because of a relatively high incidence of postoperative complications associated with inadequate sternal consolidation. The use of nitinol clips is one of the reliable and versatile methods of sternal osteosynthesis. Our research included 208 postoperative patients with different cardiac surgical pathologies. All interventions were carried out with cardiopulmonary bypass using median sternotomy. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to sternal fixation methods: group 1 (105 patients) - wire suture osteosynthesis, group 2 (103 patients) - nitinol clips closure. The short-term postoperative results were analyzed by using the major criteria for comparison. Radiographically confirmed varying degrees of sternal defects in the immediate postoperative period were observed in 15.2% of patients in group 1 and 3.8% of patients in group 2. In group 1 significant sternal defects requiring sternal refixation were observed in 4.8% of patients; in group 2 no such cases were identified. The mean blood loss in the drainages for 24 hours after surgery in group 1 was 351 65 ml; in group 2 - 192 43 ml. The total number of resternotomies for bleeding in group 1 was 6.7% of cases, with half of them being the patients with the source from the sternum in the site of wire sutures, while in group 2 4.9% patients underwent resternotomy, with no bleeding from the sites of clip fixation. Thus, the use of nitinol clips after longitudinal median sternotomy is a more reliable method of sternal osteosynthesis (as compared with the classical method), which enables us to minimize the risk of damage to the retrosternal structures, preserve sternal consolidation and reduce blood loss in the drainages in the early postoperative period.

Today the mechanisms of pathological scarring and inconsistency of the intraocular fluid outflow pathways after nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS), reducing its effectiveness, have not yet been determined. There is no systematic information about the regulatory role of cytokine TGF-β and MMP-9 in the mechanisms of formation of the newly created intraocular fluid outflow pathways.Aim: to assess changes in the clinical and immunological status of patients with open-angle glaucoma after NPDS in the early postoperative period.Methods. A prospective examination of 26 patients with open-angle glaucoma before and in 1 month after NPDS with determination of concentration of TGF-β and MMP-9 in tear humor. One month after NPDS, all patients were divided into two groups depending on the effect of the operation achieved according to the developed criteria.Results. Before the operation, tears TGF-β values in group 1 exceeded baseline values of group 2 by 1.4 times, the initial content of MMP-9 in tears in both groups was comparable. After the operation, in group 1, a moderate increase in the concentration of tears TGF-β by 1.3 times and a significant increase in the concentration of tears MMP-9 in 4.6 times compared with baseline values were revealed. In patients of group 2, after NPDS, there was a significant increase in the concentration of tears TGF-β, on average, 2.4 times relative to preoperative values, the content of MMP-9 did not significantly change.Conclusion. 1 month after NPDS, an imbalance in the concentration of TGF-β and MMP-9 in tears was detected in patients of the two groups that have fundamental clinical differences in the hypotensive effect and the formation of postoperative intraocular fluid outflow pathways.

<p><b>Background:</b> Wide QRS/T angle reflects the ventricular repolarization heterogeneity and has been found in association with cardiac morbidity and mortality in various study populations. However, literature data about the availability of QRS/T angle in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has not yet been available.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> A total of 157 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery were included in this study. A preoperative 12-lead ECG was obtained one day before surgical procedure. The absolute difference between the frontal QRS wave axes and T-wave axes was defined as frontal planar QRS/T angle. Afterwards, patients were divided into two groups according to their frontal planar QRS/T angle (the cut-off value as 90�).</p><p><b>Results:</b> Group 1 consisted of 109 patients with frontal planar QRS/T angle of <90, and the remaining 48 patients with frontal planar QRS/T angle 90 were placed into group 2. Mean EuroSCORE was much higher in group 2. There were significant differences for positive inotropic agent usage (27.5% for group 1 versus 58.3% for group 2, <i>P</i> < .001) and the prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (11.9% for group 1 versus 31.2% for group 2, <i>P</i> = .004) between the two groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, used to determine the independent predictors of positive inotropic usage in the early postoperative period, only frontal planar QRS/T angle (OR: 0.989, 95% CI: 0.981-0.997, <i>P</i> = .008) and EuroSCORE (OR: 0.792, 95% CI: 0.646-0.971, <i>P</i> = .025) were found to be statistically significant.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> We found that frontal planar QRS/T angle might be an important preoperative parameter in predicting the need for inotropic drugs in the early postoperative period following coronary artery bypass surgery.</p>

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the course of the postoperative period after phlebectomy and thermal ablation in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities in the system of the great saphenous vein (GSV) with class C2 of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — CEAP class C2. Materials and methods: 455 patients (455 limbs) with CEAP class C2. Group 1 (n = 154) received stripping + minimally invasive phlebectomy; Group 2 — endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of GSV trunk + sclerotherapy of varicose veins; 3 group (n = 150) — radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the GSV + sclerotherapy. All patients were united by a single tactical solution — the elimination of pathological vertical reflux in GSV. In each group, patients were with similar hemodynamic profile were selected (Group 1 = 63; Group 2 = 61; Group 3 = 61). The course of the postoperative period (from 2 days to 2 months) was compared for pain (visual analog scale — VAS), clinical symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, degree of satisfaction (Darvall questionnaire), and duration of disability. Statistical processing was carried out using Excel programs for Windows XP, MedCalc® (version 11.4.2.0., Mariakerke, Belgium). Results: Postoperative pain is more pronounced (during day 1 for Group 1–4.0, Group 2–3.0, Group 3–2.0) and more prolonged (up to 4 days) after open surgeries (p < 0.05). The dynamics of the clinical symptoms of CVI (including varicose syndrome and use of compression therapy) could not be fully evaluated in connection with the ongoing sclerotherapy procedures for patients of Groups 2 and 3. Satisfaction of patients with aesthetic aspects was higher than expected in all groups. Reliable statistical differences proved decrease in days of disability (Group 1–14; Group 2–4; Group 3–3) and earlier return to physical activities and work in patients after thermal ablation in comparison with phlebectomy. Conclusion: The study shows that all three methods for eliminating vertical reflux in the GSV can be proposed for a large category of patients with CEAP of class C3 and C2. Medical and social rehabilitation of patients using endovascular thermal ablation technologies proceeds faster, which is beneficial both for the patients and for society.
