Abstract: A method of making an implantable neuroendoprosthetic system for transubstantiation of defects of brain, spinal cord and vegetative nervous system in a mammal in reconstructive neurosurgical operations provides a heterogeneous collagen-containing matrix for implantation, a cell preparation of autologous cells of a patient, and the cell preparation is perfused into said matrix to make an elastic cell-biopolymer biologically active mass. The cell preparation comprises placed in a NaCl solution at least one type of cells from a group comprising neural stem cells (NSC), neuroglial ensheathing cells (NGEC), endothelial cells with CD34+ marker (EC), and purified mononuclears (MN). The mass can be additionally subjected to electromagnetic radiation at 1-10 GHz before implanting.

Abstract: Intended for the use in neurosurgery and organ tissue engineering to replace defects of nervous tissue of a mammal brain and spinal cord (B&SC) in reconstructive neurosurgical operations, a tissue-replaceable artificial cell-biopolymer neuroendoprosthetic system (ACBP NEPS) for surgical plasty of defects of nervous tissue of B&SC, stimulating regeneration and growth of damaged axons of neural cells, comprises an elastic cell-biopolymer biologically active mass, produced from a heterogeneous collagen-containing matrix for implantation, and a biocomposition of cell preparations of various types of autologous cells of a patient. Also disclosed are a method of producing the ACBP NEPS, which provides for perfusion of the biocomposition of the cell preparations of various types of autologous cells of a patient into a heterogeneous collagen-containing matrix for implantation, and a method of reconstructive neurosurgical operation comprising implantation of the ACBP NEPS into a defect of neural tissue.

Abstract: An apparatus for defoaming blood is described, having a surface which comes into contact with blood, said surface being coated with a defoamer which has a hydrophobic component with lipophobic microdomains.
