Currently, there is no clear guidance on the management of patients with concomitant chronic diseases of the veins (CVD), such as varicose and postthrombotic disease of the lower limbs, with endoprosthetics of the knee or hip joint. To reduce the risk of thromboembolic complications in patients of this group, the authors developed individual algorithms of reference.

A number of patients with problems of major joints increases every year. These patients need the replacement arthroplasty. The rate of thrombotic complications rises in given category of patients simultaneously with the increase of the number of performed operations. There weren’t well-defined instructions of management of the patients with associated chronic vein diseases at the preparation period for arthroplasty performance in spite of the presence of clinical recommendations for prevention of thromboembolic complications. The authors analyzed the experience of management of such patients and presented these data for doctors from polyclinic and hospitals in order to apply the common treatment strategy.

Summary form only given. Plasma assistance is a promising way for combustion improvement, especially for NOx reduction by burning leaner premixed hydrocarbons or for flame stabilization under unfavorable conditions (supersonic combustion or, small volume combustion where the chemical time is close to the fuel residence time). Thus, we conceived a combustion test bench where we could study the effect of a coaxial dielectric barrier discharge on a lifted non-premixed methane flame. For this study, we are especially interested in the effect of the discharge on the detachment height of the flame up to blow-out. There, we could achieve the anchoring of the flame (detachment height = 5-10 mm against 50-60 mm without plasma) on a plasma channel going out from the burner exit. Electrical investigations demonstrated that only 1 W applied to the discharge at the nozzle of the burner was necessary to this anchoring. Coupling electrical and optical measurements revealed the pulsed nature of the light emission of the plasma while spectroscopic study of OH, CH and N2* exhibits a 10 mm overlap between the plasma and the flame. Finally, fast camera movie of the flame anchoring zone was also achieved using narrow band filters for the selection of OH, CH and N2

The authors have analyzed the results of an experimental-clinical investigation devoted to studying the efficiency of local treatment of trophic ulcers at the stage of healing using transplantation of dermal allogenic fibroblasts. The method was proved to accelerate epithelization and to shorten the time of preparing to operations for correction of the venous blood flow.

The article presents results of treatment of 53 patients with acute thrombosis of profound veins of various localizations by means of a new home thrombolytic drug, physiologic activator plasminogen--renokinase. High effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy with good rehabilitation or marked clinical improvement was obtained in 79% of the patients. Renokinase is areactogenic and may be used many times.
