Results obtained using an erbium laser to produce directed angiogenesis in transmyocardial laser revascularization in experiments using an animal model of chronically ischemic myocardium are ...presented. An assessment of the efficacy of using the erbium laser to produce targeted angiogenesis is presented. The optimum operating regimes for erbium laser pulse irradiation of the myocardium, taking account of thermal tissue lesions, are identified. Morphological changes are investigated and morphometric analysis in tissues in the area of the transmyocardial laser channels are analyzed in a model of chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) in dogs. Studies were performed for subsequent development and introduction of the new method into clinical practice in patients with IHD with diffuse coronary artery lesions.
We present the results of a low-temperature scan of the phase diagram of dense two-color QCD with Nf = 2 quarks. The study is conducted using lattice simulation with rooted staggered quarks. At small ...chemical potential we observe the hadronic phase, where the theory is in a confining state, chiral symmetry is broken, the baryon density is zero and there is no diquark condensate. At the critical point μ = mπ/2 we observe the expected second order transition to Bose-Einstein condensation of scalar diquarks. In this phase the system is still in confinement in conjunction with nonzero baryon density, but the chiral symmetry is restored in the chiral limit. We have also found that in the first two phases the system is well described by chiral perturbation theory. For larger values of the chemical potential the system turns into another phase, where the relevant degrees of freedom are fermions residing inside the Fermi sphere, and the diquark condensation takes place on the Fermi surface. In this phase the system is still in confinement, chiral symmetry is restored and the system is very similar to the quarkyonic state predicted by SU(Nc) theory at large Nc.
In this report we study the properties of the dense SU(2) QCD. The lattice simulations are carried out with improved gauge action and smaller lattice spacing as compared to our previous work. This ...allowed us to approach closer to the continuum limit and reach larger densities without lattice artifacts. We measured string tension and Polyakov loop as functions of chemical potential and temperature. At suffciently large baryon density and zero temperature we observe confinement/deconfinement transition which manifests itself as a vanishing of the string tension and rising of the Polyakov loop.
A new approach to the computation of the canonical partition functions in Nf = 2 lattice QCD is presented. The results for the number density as function of imaginary chemical potential obtained in ...the confining and deconfining phases are used to determine the phase transition line at real chemical potential.
