Effect of Cold Blood Cardioplegia Enriched With Potassium-Magnesium Aspartate During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of enriched with potassium-magnesium aspartate cold-blood cardioplegia on early reperfusion injury and postoperative arrhythmias in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), using measurements of cardiac troponin I (CTnI), hemodynamic indexes and clinical parameters.
Benefits of Terminal Noncardioplegic Warm Blood Retrograde Perfusion After Terminal Warm Blood Cardioplegia Perfusion Prior to Aortic Unclamping in Open Heart Surgery
The benefits of terminal noncardioplegic warm blood retrograde perfusion (TNWB) and terminal warm blood cardioplegia perfusion (TWBC) after intermittent cold blood cardioplegia perfusion during aortic clamping were studied.
Effects of Blood Washing and Autotransfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Erythrocyte Immune and Kidney Function
To study changes of erythrocyte immune and kidney function after autotransfusing washed red blood cells during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Osteogenic Differentiationof Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Ectopic Bone formation in Calcium Phosphate Ceramics

Automated Technique Accurately Measures Platelet Counts in “Platelet Gel” Products
A special blood concentrate known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote healing in a wide range of medical and surgical situations, but research has been limited by the lack of a universally accepted approach to measuring the platelet concentrations contained in PRP.
Preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Tissue Adhesive for Experimental Transplantation in Rabbits
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous substance with adhesive properties. We aimed at developing and testing the efficacy of a method for PRP preparation in rabbits.
