[10 years' experience of heart valve bioprostheses. Present status and future development].

Long-term results of mitral valve replacement with bioprostheses of three original designs are overviewed. Refinement of the supporting framework design, and of modelling and conservation methodologies has made it possible to improve the survival rates and provided for the absence of specific complications in two groups of patients. Experimental evidence allows for anticipating an increase in the terms of bioprostheses performance.

[Ways to prevent the calcification of heart valve bioprostheses].

The influence of the method of preservation and application of medicinal preparation xydiphone on the process of calcification of xenograft bioprostheses in a classic model of subcutaneous implantation of bioprosthesis cusps in rats has been studied. It is estimated that fermentative processing does not influence the intensity of calcification, while the immobilization of heparin to tissue decreases the amount of calcium in implants 4.5 times. Combination of heparin immobilization with peroral administration of xydiphone results in summing up of the effects, decreasing the amount of calcium in experimental set of cusps up to the level of nonimplanted ones.

[Three-dimensional visualization of low-field MRI data using personal computer].

An experience of three-dimensional reconstruction of low-field MRI data using a modern personal computer and Windows software is presented. A value of volume visualization in routine diagnostics and areas of its effective use are shown. Pulse sequences best suitable for volume reconstruction are selected. Performance of high-end PC in visualization of medical data is evaluated.

[A new approach to the creation of heart valve xenograft bioprostheses resistant to calcification].

The calcium binding activity of xenograft tissue in stages of modification with papain, diphosphonates, and heparin was studied on a model of accelerated calcification in subcutaneous implantation of cusps of pig's aortic bioprostheses to 42 rats. In immobilization of 3-amino-1-oxypropylidendiphosphonic acid and xydiphon the amount of calcium in the implants reduced 50 times as compared to the control. The first stage of ion-covalent heparin immobilization--treatment with albumin--increased the calcium-binding activity of the biomaterial, but subsequent heparinization reduced again the calcium content in the cusp tissue to the level attained in the stage of diphosphonate immobilization. The results of the chemical analysis correlated with the findings of morphological examination. Besides, the new method of treatment made it possible to increase the strength of the biological tissue by 20%. This method of storage of bioprostheses is promising for clinical approbation.

[Study of heart valve xenobioprostheses by ESR].

Copper (II) ions were used as paramagnetic labels to study the role of functional groups of structural proteins (SP) of xenobioprosthetic valves in the process of transition metal ions coordination as well as for investigation of changes in complexing properties of these proteins under influence of the recipient media. The dependence of Cu(II) coordination sphere composition in complexes with SP on the pH-value has been determined. Research of influence of the valves' calcification process on the coordination properties of the SP are in progress.
