[The effect of ultraviolet irradiation of patients' blood on the morphofunctional status of erythrocytes]. / Vliianie ul'trafioletovogo oblucheniia krovi bol'nykh na morfofunktsional'noe sostoianie éritrotsitov.

The morphofunctional status of red blood cells was studied in patients with terminal renal failure associated with pyo-inflammatory complications treated by means of ultraviolet radiation of autologous blood. The authors have established that ultraviolet radiation of autologous blood results in the increase of the discocyte count and red blood cell activation, evidenced by the rise of the young red blood cell count, of the red blood cell population with marked activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, of the content of sulfhydryl groups, and by the increase of erythrocytic adhesion.

[Combined methods of extracorporeal detoxication in the treatment of severe surgical endotoxemia]. / Kombinirovannye metody ékstrakorporal'noi detoksikatsii v lechenii tiazhelykh khirurgicheskikh éndotoksikozov.

A combined method of treatment--flowing ultraviolet irradiation of autoblood with hemosorption or exchange plasmapheresis--was used in 52 patients with pyoseptic diseases. It was shown that inclusion of combined extracorporal detoxication in the complex treatment was followed by a pronounced clinical effect and correction of biochemical and physiological parameters.
