Method of treating cardio-vascular cell transplants and method for their preparation

? Ostoperatsionnom period.  Results of the study of untreated segments showed that they are characterized by  the absence of any significant changes in the dynamics. As evidenced by our data, in the treatment of segments with various degrees of violations  perfusion before the operation of regional perfusion was significantly increased in most  degrees under load than the rest. Thus, in areas of introduction of CD 133 + cells  was an increase in myocardial reserve only in those segments where there  reduction in perfusion during exercise. In untreated segments of the significant changes  in myocardial reserve after cellular cardiomyoplasty, we did not observe.  The increase in myocardial reserve allows us to explain a significant increase in  tolerance to physical stress and improve quality of life of patients after  operations. is also of interest and the time within which the observed changes  regional perfusion in the treatment of segments with initially reduced perfusion. Improving  perfusion with a load held progressively during the first 6 months after  cell injection and became significant over six months after the intervention. purpose of the study - a demonstration of safety, as well as evaluation  effectiveness of the method. Obtained as a result of research data  allow us to conclude that the use of autologous YASK for the treatment of heart failure is safe.  None of the patients had no complications associated with aspiration of the bone  brain. Given the small number of observations, as well as the lack of a control group,  results can not fully prove that transplantation of autologous progenitor cells  CD 133 + improves myocardial perfusion. The possibility exists that such  segments can occur spontaneously improved. However, no change  in myocardial perfusion in areas remote from the zone of cell exposure  and revealed a significant improvement of myocardial reserve in segments exposed to  effects, combined with the positive dynamics of clinical, indirectly demonstrating  presence of a positive effect on the procedure of autologous transplantation of stem  cells - endothelial precursors (CD 133 +). However, for the final evaluation of the effectiveness, benefit-risk ratio method  cellular cardiomyoplasty, in its further development requires long-term  results of observations and a prospective, randomized studies.   Thus: 1. The results of using autologous bone marrow progenitor cells  CD 133 + in patients with coronary heart disease and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy have demonstrated  safety procedures for cell "cardiomyoplasty"   2. After transplantation of autologous progenitor cells CD 133 + reliably  improves myocardial perfusion at a load ranging from 6 months after intervention  in the "treatment" segments with initially moderate, substantial and severe  reduced perfusion. The "untreated" segments of perfusion does not change   3. After the isolated intramyocardial injection of autologous progenitor cells  CD 133 + had significantly improved perfusion in the "treatment" segments  with initially moderate and a significant decrease in perfusion, compared with intracoronary  way of introducing   4. Improved local and global myocardial contractility, clinical and hemodynamic  indicators following the introduction of autologous progenitor cells CD 133 + possible  indicates that stimulation of regenerative processes in cardiomyocytes both in  ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy in   5. The introduction of autologous stem cells - precursors (CD 133 +) was significantly  improves quality of life in patients with heart failure Application Clinical observations of autogenous YASK with CH Observation 1.

Atherosclerosis

at. All of this source of cholesterol,                                  In addition, these products degrade the property of blood,                                  increasing its clot and cause carbohydrate                                  exchange. Should be included in a diet specific                                  amount of liquid vegetable oils, but not                                  get involved! This moment is for some reason, sounds bad                                  in popular recommendations - the so-called excess polyunsaturated                                  fatty acids contained in vegetable oils,                                  may lead to lower HDL                                  density (remember, they have protivoskleroticheskoe                                  action). Another important point, which is also                                  often overlooked: it is necessary (if no contraindications                                  of course) the inclusion in the diet of flour products                                  meal. Contained in the shells of grain                                  Cultures matter how it turned out very well connected                                  cholesterol contained in food (andmoresevere                                  metals, nitrates and nitrites, carcinogens and other                                  nobody wanted "stuff") and output                                  it from the body through the intestine. (When we are                                  disassemble dasgs that reduce cholesterol, you                                  know that there are dasgs - anion                                  resin - acting similarly, but with a large                                  number of side effects and low efficiency).                                  Unfortunately, for a long time it was thought that these                                  substances are only food ballast,                                  so all the technological processing of grain                                  was (and still is) aimed at removing                                  membranes (alas, but the farm. industry virtually                                  not paying attention to this - I still know                                  only two preparations containing these substances).                                  The diet should meet the needs of the organism                                  vitamin B6, which is actively involved in the processes                                  lipid metabolism, transport and decay of cholesterol                                  as well as organic iodine, which increases                                  synthesis of thyroid hormones and thus                                  stimulates recycling of lipids. C                                  this purpose, recommends the inclusion in the diet foods                                  Sea (for those. to whom it is available): dishes                                  seaweed, squid, scallops,                                  mussels, etc.                                  In diet of all cardiac patients                                  profile requires the restriction of salt                                  (Sodium ions) and the inclusion of foods rich in                                  salts of potassium (baked potato, green onions,                                  parsley, dill, black currant, from                                  more exotic - apricots, dried apricots, figs, pasnes,                                  apricots, bananas, a lot of potassium contained in the grains                                  coffee (not instant coffee) and in leaves of black                                  tea). Important reduction in the number                                  sugar, flour and pasta, egg                                  egg yolks (nomorethan 2-3 per week). Recommended                                  included in the diet and oat cereals,                                  soy foods, vegetables, yogurt (without jam).                                  Not recommended for grapes and grape juice,                                  and virtually all other fasits are completely appropriate.                                  It is highly recommended to distribute rations to more                                  number of meals (up to 5-6 times a day).                                  This is called Nibbling and its advantages                                  There is a mass of scientific papers. The latter technique                                  food must be no later than 18-19 hours. Recommended                                  Eat 2.4 sour-sweet apples (you can                                  and after 18). And once that is prohibited:                                  fatty meats, fish, hard meat broth                                  Beef, mutton, pork fat, internal organs                                  animal brains, eggs, bacon, cream, pastries, cakes                                  cream, spicy, salty, fatty snacks, cocoa,                                  chocolate, ice cream, alcoholic drinks.                                  Generally, the diet in atherosclerosis could be                                  would not read a single lecture, but it's time we had already                                  move on to the proper treatment. I can only say                                  that the diet appointed for 3-4 months. If, for                                  analyzes and well-being marked improvement,                                  then monitor the patient continues, but                                  Diet is not removed. If the effect is not obtained,                                  then tighten the diet. If even after 3 months                                  effect is not observed, then connect the medication                                  dasgs.                                  should be noted that treatment                                   atherosclerosis - a process long, complex and directly                                  say, an expensive. Medicines have to be applied                                  very long, in many cases - for life.                                  Therefore, to ïðîòèâîàòåðîñêëåðîòè÷åñêèì Dasgs                                  the ratio should be very careful and cautious.                                  There are several classes of dasgs,                                  used in atherosclerosis. Let's start with the most                                  widely used in recent dasg                                  - Statins.                                  So, statins . This is a relatively new,                                  the most active group of cholesterol-lowering                                  funds are derivatives of a new class of antibiotics.                                  Their impact occurs in the liver. Cholesterol                                  As we remember, not only comes with food,                                  but also formed in the body (its formation                                  occurs only in the liver). Statins block                                  formation of cholesterol in the liver, intercepting                                  this synthesis on one of the intermediate stages.                                  The cholesterol content in blood and liver                                  cells decreases. But liver cells is required                                  cholesterol, and they start hard to capture                                  it from flowing blood. Thus, in the blood                                  decreases cholesterol and that came with the food.                                  With statins include the following dasgs.                                  Here we must make onemoredigression. Case                                  that all dasgs have the name acting                                  substance , ie proper preparation, rendering                                  immediate impact. But beyond that,                                  Many dasgs have and trade names,                                   ie those names by which they are issued                                  those or other firms. For example, the familiar                                  Aspirin - a ton orgovoe name , and the current                                  beginning it is acetylsalicylic acid.                                  Brand names are usually written on the packaging                                  big, beautiful letters, but slightly lower (and                                  smaller letters) must be specified                                  active ingredient. For example, you can see in                                  package name Trombo-ACC and did not know that                                  it is. You lower your eyes to the next line                                  and read - acetylsalicylic acid and you                                  everything becomes clear. Exceptions may be                                  only for the composite and complex products,                                  but in this case a complete list of all components                                  (But not their trade names) must be listed                                  in the accompanying paper. When I tell                                  on dasgs, I'll call the first valid                                  beginning, and then in brackets - its main trading                                  name. Why? The fact that the store                                  and know all the brand names (like all firms,                                  producing pharmaceutical products) is impossible. (She has a                                  as acetylsalicylic acid, such as                                  at least three dozen trade names). Moreover,                                  in different countries, they are certainly different.                                  But knowing the active principle, you can always                                  find your desired product. And, if the pharmacy                                  you offer any substitute, you are immediately                                  understand if this is really what you're looking for.                                  You can just ask me: Does the                                  the same dasg, issued by different firms                                  under different names (if we take into account                                  that we are comparing the same dosage)? Alas!                                  very often they are different, that would not talk                                  pharmacists. Much depends on the filler, which                                  used in the tablet or tablets, by                                  purity, from the technology of manufacturing.                                  In Soviet times, once there was a sad and anecdotal                                  the case when in pursuit of over-fulfillment of the plan                                  on one of the companies on line, producing,                                  In my opinion, the analog eleniuma, increased speed     ⇒⇒⇒
