    Abstract:
    It was shown in experiments on a model of fatal staphylococcal sepsis in 200 mice and 15 dogs that the perfusate of a pig's spleen obtained by perfusion of the isolated organ with a dextran solution (rheopolyglucin, polyglucin) is capable of preventing the animals' death. Intravenous infusion of 400-500 ml of a xenospleen perfusate at an interval of 1-3 days, which was included in the complex of postoperative treatment of 45 patients with destructive diseases of the abdominal organs complicated by peritonitis and sepsis, contributed to reduction of lethality and the terms of recovery. It is shown that the main effect, besides detoxification, is based on immunomodulation at the cost of biologically active substances produced by the cells of a xenospleen and contained in the perfusate. The best results were produced with the use of the perfusate of a xenospleen in the early periods after radical operation and thorough cleansing of the source of the infection.
