[The use of hemoperfusion through a suspension of cryopreserved hepatocytes in acute liver failure].

The present work deals with results of intensive therapy and temporary organ substitution by using hemoperfusion through a suspension of living donor hepatocytes in 71 patients with acute hepatic insufficiency. Hemoperfusion was performed through a suspension of fresh living hepatocytes or through a suspension of cryo-conserved (during 60 days) living hepatocytes. Lethality was 37-42%.

Temporary organ substitution by hemoperfusion through suspension of active donor hepatocytes in a total complex of intensive therapy in patients with acute hepatic insufficiency.

The results of intensive therapy and temporary organ substitution by hemoperfusion through a suspension of active hepatocytes in 126 patients suffering from acute hepatic insufficiency (AHI) induced by virus B hepatitis, virus non-A, non-B hepatitis, acute toxic hepatitis, active liver cirrhosis, sepsis leptospirosis long-term subhepatic jaundice are presented in this paper. Hepatic encephalopathia confirmed both clinically and electroencephalographically was registered in all the patients. The patients were subdivided into two groups: a complex of commonly used curative measures according to the intensive therapy for AHI was applied in Group A (67 patients); in Group B (59 patients), alongside with the above measures, temporary organ substitution by hemoperfusion through a suspension of active porky hepatocytes was also performed. The lethality in Group A made up 59% and that in Group B was 37%.

[Continuous retroperitoneal infusion of a novocaine cocktail in the combined treatment of severe forms of acute pancreatitis].

Severe forms of acute pancreatitis were treated in 53 patients (25 with a destructive form, 28 with an edematous form) with using permanent infusions of a novocaine cocktail into the retroperitoneal space. General lethality was reduced to 5.7%. In the group of patients with a destructive form of acute pancreatitis lethality was 12%. Nobody died in the group of patients with the edematous form. No complications were noted resulting from the method.
