Ivan Nikiforovich Piksin. The 80th anniversary of the birth

The article is devoted to the scientific work of a famous scientist, honored worker of science of the Russian Federation, honored worker of science of the Republic of Mordovia, honored doctor of the Republic of Mordovia, laureate of State prize, head of the scientific-pedagogical surgical school "Clinical surgery, the study of fundamental and applied problems of efferent and quantum medicine", doctor of medical Sciences professor Piksin Ivan Nikiforovich. Professor I. N. Piksin conducted basic research of medical-biological effects of quantum radiation on the molecular, cellular and organ-ismal levels. Under his leadership, studying the parameters of homeostasis, immune status, changes in peroxide oxidation of lipids and antioxidants systems, the Central organ and peripheral hemodynamics in patients with acute destructive diseases of lungs, thyroid gland, purulent-septic diseases, lactational mastitis and other diseases. He have proven the particular effectiveness in use of ultraviolet blood irradiation in combination with other appearance-quantum methods. This has allowed scientists to develop new ways of extracorporeal detoxification (different ways of therapeutic plasmapheresis, erythrodesorbtion, selective and combined quantum and efferent therapy, cryofrerezis and heparinprecipitatapheresis, ozone). A team of the scientific-pedagogical school led by I. N. Piksin explores the problems of diagnosis and treatment of gastrodu-odenal bleeding, mechanical jaundice, pancreatitis, suppurative diseases of the lung and pleura, surgical diseases of the heart, blood vessels, prevention of complications of limb injuries, diabetes and diabetic foot care, pediatric orthopedics. Under the leadership of I. N. Piksin have introduced new minimally invasive technologies: transthoracic drainage and rehabilitation therapy of purulent cavities of the lung and pleura, percutaneous and transhepatic cholecystocholangiography, diagnostic and treatment interventions in space-occupying lesions of the abdomen and thyroid gland, ultrasound techniques of diabet in acute destructive pancreatitis and others. He is considered as one of organizers of higher medical education system in the region. The professor is actively working on improvement in training of medical and scientific personnel for various regions of the Russian Federation.
