The aim of this review was to analyze publications describing studies focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms of calcification of bioprosthetic heart valves, and to substantiate new and promising methods of calcification prevention for the implantable medical devices.Material and methods. Databases and electronic libraries such as PubMed, Google Scholar and eLibrary were used for searching relevant articles. Search queries included the following word combinations: “bioprosthetic heart valves”, “structural valve degeneration”, “calcification”, “cyclic loading”, “inflammation”, “proteolysis”, “proteolytic enzymes”, “decellularization”, “anticalcification treatment”. The references in relevant articles were used for the search as well. Preference was given to works published from January 2013 to January 2023.Results. We have considered the key aspects of bioprosthetic heart valves calcification and the main strategies of calcification prevention. Calcification of bioprosthetic heart valves incorporates a complex set of mechanisms that includes, but is not limited to: 1) binding of calcium in chemically stabilized biomaterial by free groups of the preservative; 2) precipitation of calcium on residual donor cells and cell debris; 3) pro-calcifying changes in biological material due to proteolysis, mechanical and oxidative stress; 4) cell-mediated biomineralization. Despite modern advances in biopreservation, such as treatment with chemical agents that prevent the deposition of calcium, the problem of bioprosthetic heart valves calcification still prevails. The cause of it lies in the heterogeneity of the pathophysiological mechanisms behind the mineralization of biomaterial: the currently developed methods of calcification prevention cannot block all ways of bioprosthetic heart valves calcification.Conclusion. Calcification of bioprosthetic heart valves leaflets is a complex process that underlies the main cause of dysfunction of the medical devices. Supposedly, a new innovative approach that involves polymer hydrogel filler in biomaterials can completely prevent its calcification.","PeriodicalId":23229,"journal":{"name":"Transplantologiya.

Organ transplantation is the optimal decision for patients in the end stage of many diseases. Certain conditions are required for the transportation and preservation of a donor organ after explantation, including factors such as temperature, pressure, and preservative solution. All currently available methods of preservation of donor organs are aimed at maximizing the complete preservation of the functional state of the graft from the moment of its removal to implantation and reperfusion in the recipient's body.Aim. The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information on the results of the studies performed in order to decide on the preferred method of organ preservation.Material and methods. An analysis of literature sources in English and Russian from 2009 to 2023 on this topic was performed in the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar. The review highlights the results of preclinical (on animal models) and clinical studies, as well as achievements in the field of ex-vivo machine perfusion with an emphasis on machine hypothermic perfusion and modified oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion, subnormothermic machine perfusion and machine normothermic perfusion.Results. The daily increase in the number of patients in need of organ transplantation delays the timely selection and search for a donor. Organ donation after cardiac death is a promising step in an attempt to overcome the disbalance between the number of patients and organs, but the risk of developing early graft damage increases. The criteria for selecting donors and donor organs are being expanded, as a result, elderly donors and not-optimal grafts are included, but they are less resistant to ischemic damage. In this connection, there is a need for long-term infusion support through machine perfusion.Conclusion. In recent years, research has focused on alternative preservation methods, studying hypothermic, subnormothermic and normothermic machine perfusion. The use of machine perfusion has become the most widespread among kidney transplants and has shown good results. Further development is expected in the field of studying and improving this method of organ preservation, which allows not only transporting, but also improving the functional state of the graft.","PeriodicalId":23229,"journal":{"name":"Transplantologiya.

The article examines and analyzes the state of the problem of organ transplantation in the USSR in the early 1970s and ways to solve it with the participation of three prominent transplantologists of the Soviet Union – Yu.M. Lopukhin, A.G. Lapchinsky and V.P. Demikhov, as well as some world achievements in this field.Material and methods. Available printed works on the history of Russian and world transplantology in the 1970s, the analysis of which was carried out by historical-genetic and comparative-analytical methods.Results. Developed by Yu.M. Lopukhin together with leading surgeons and immunologists of the country the Program of scientific research on the problem of transplantation of organs and tissues included three main areas: clinical problems of transplantation of organs and body parts (limbs), including ensuring the viability of organs and tissues outside the body, the ways to overcome biological incompatibility, and also the moral and ethical issues of transplantation, and donation issues. It is shown that the methods of overcoming biological incompatibility in organ and tissue allotransplantations, which had been used for many years by A.G. Lapchinsky and V.P. Demikhov (exchange transfusion of blood between organisms of different species, cross circulation between individuals of the same species), no longer corresponded to the state of medical science, which was represented by Yu.M. Lopukhin. However, scientists who had world-class priorities for the duration of survival of experimental animals with a transplanted limb (A.G. Lapchinsky) and an additional heart and lung transplanted into the chest (V.P. Demikhov) could help in the implementation of some provisions of the Lopukhin’s Program. The preservation of organs and tissues before transplantation in a state of suspended animation was studied by A.G. Lapchinsky, and V.P. Demikhov worked at developing the methods for the extracorporeal connection of organs to the body of an intermediate host and using portable artificial hearts to maintain the vital activity of a cadaveric heart before transplantation.Conclusions. Pioneers of experimental transplantology in the USSR A.G. Lapchinsky and V.P. Demikhov, who began their research in the 1940s, still could have solved many issues of transplanting organs and body parts by the 1970s.

The study was conducted in three stages: pre-operation and two post-operation stages, on days 21 and 60, with control points corresponding to medical protocol milestones. The study involved 43 patients aged 18 to 62, including 22 males and 21 females.Results. The study revealed that most memory-related parameters were at low levels, which may be attributed to preoperative chemotherapy, and further decreased cognitive functions throughout the study (p=0.014, p=0.082, statistically significant in both cases). Attention assessment results indicated predominantly normal levels, while attention-switching parameters decreased from the second to the third stage of the study (p=0.33). The affective sphere before bone marrow transplantation was characterized by depressive symptoms at the sub-depressive level and upper bounds of situational anxiety. By the third stage of the study, these variables gradually decreased to normal values (p=0.03, p=0.07).Conclusions. In the context of this study, a decline in cognitive functions, including mediated, short-term, long-term, and mechanical memory, was observed.

Patient T., 37 years old, took 1000 tablets of nifedipine for suicide 4-6 hours before admission to the hospital. In connection with the development of refractory shock and the ineffectiveness of basic therapy (the intravenous administration of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, calcium chloride (saturated dose), vasopressor/inotropic agents), a decision was made to administer high doses of insulin. After a bolus intravenous injection of insulin, the rate of its intravenous administration was 0.5 U/kg/h and, due to the lack of hemodynamic effect, it was gradually increased in increments of 1–2 U/kg/h at every 15–30 minutes up to a maximum of 8 U/kg/h with constant monitoring of glucose and potassium levels in the blood. As a result, the target hemodynamic parameters were achieved.

Comparative study in parallel groups, a total of 153 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and massive coronary thrombosis (TTG 3), 75 patients in the delayed coronary artery stenting group, 78 patients in the immediate coronary artery stenting group. In the immediate coronary artery stenting group, percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in one stage with stent implantation, in the delayed coronary artery stenting group; percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in two stages: the first was achieving TIMI-3 blood flow using a minimally invasive mechanical strategy, the second was control coronary angiography 5-6 days and the decision on the implantation of the stent. The primary endpoint is: the rate of achieving optimal myocardial perfusion according to angiography, the secondary combined endpoint is the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events.Results. In the hospital period, optimal reperfusion (TIMI-3 and MBG 2-3) after the primary procedure was achieved in 88% in the delayed coronary artery stenting group and 69.2% of immediate coronary artery stenting with an advantage in the delayed coronary artery stenting group (p=0.005).
