The research and particularly, the experimental studies, were the milestones for the development of physiology as a distinct science and discipline, used in both general and specific biological and medical education. Physiology is an important and permanent source of research and modeling methods of vital processes among the fundamental and preclinical medical and biological sciences, such as pathophysiology and pharmacology. This short essay does not claim to comprehensively describe the development of physiological research studies within Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy over 75 years since the university foundation. However, this present chronological presentation with elements of analysis provides historical and current data on the researchers and their research papers, while working as collaborators within the Department of Physiology at our university. Conclusions: This historical review brings conclusive evidence upon the research work conducted by the academic staff and their study results, since the foundation of the Department of Physiology, which have greatly reflected the international research trends in the field of physiological sciences. Current physiological research studies, conducted at the Department of Physiology, are aimed at studying the physiological markers and predictors of different diseases, involving cardiovascular and respiratory systems by means of psychophysiology.

The frequency of these lesions is from 1:300 to 1:30000 births, creating many problems for young women in postpartum life. Material and methods: Under our follow-up there were 14 patients with disruption to the pelvic ring II-III degree during labor. Special bed position was recommended for the patients (n=4) with rupture of the pubic symphysis II degree. Sacroiliac joint subluxation was reduced by manual traction in multiparous patients (n=3) with disruption of III degree. Closed pelvis osteosynthesis by external device was performed. Results: Osteosynthesis was performed in trauma clinic, taking into account that patients had breast-fed children. The maximum anesthesia time was up to 30 minutes. Closed reposition of the pelvic bones and stabilization by an external device without additional blood loss were performed. Reposition of damaged bone surfaces was achieved in all cases. In 3-4 hours after surgery, the patients were returned to their children. From the second day they were able to get up, move around the room, take care of the children. Long-term results of treatment were evaluated from 1.5 to 14 years and rated as good. Conclusions: Rupture of the pelvic ring in women during childbirth requires qualified diagnostics and appropriate treatment. Conservative treatment does not give stable clinical result in multiparous women with disruption of II degree.

First experience of minimally invasive treatment in the Republic of Moldova Abraș, Marcel; Surev, Artiom; Vasa-Nicotera, Mariuca; Moscalu, Vitalie; Grib, Andrei; Popovici, Ion; Beiu, Catalina Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent primary heart valve disease and the third most prevalent cardiovascular disease in the world, having a severe and slowly progressive evolution. The implementation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is necessary because the population is constantly ageing, and most elderly people have various comorbidities, which places them among patients with high surgical risk. The aim was to report immediate and 9 months follow-up results of first TAVI implantations in the Republic of Moldova. Material and methods: Three patients with severe symptomatic AS and high surgical risk underwent TAVI implantation using Portico valves. Results: The mean age was 76.7 ± 1.2 years, 2 women and 1 man. The mean Logistic EuroSCORE II was 5.68 ± 0.67%. Procedural success was achieved in all (100%) patients. After the intervention, it was shown that the GP mean decreased by an average of 20.27±1.61 mmHg, the Vmax of the jet through AoV decreased on average by 2.05±0.19 m/s, and they were maintained all over the nine months follow-up period. Quality of life, using the TASQ (Toronto Aortic Stenosis Quality of Life) questionnaire, was improved by 62.3 ± 2.2 points. Conclusions: TAVI, as a new minimally invasive method of treatment for aortic valve stenosis appears to be safe, with a low rate of early and late complications in elderly patients at high surgical risk, with good clinical outcomes at 9 months. Its implementation in the Republic of Moldova is welcome in the conditions of continuously ageing population and the prevalence of associated comorbidities.
