from the Indian Institute of Technology have created a unique city Kharagpura artificial heart for an unusually low price? It will cost a total of about 2 thousand dollars. And so with that, on average, the western counterparts are about 60 thousand U.S. dollars.
As promised in an interview with RIA Novosti leader research group of ten people, Sudzhoy Guha, the reliability of the new artificial heart to be an order of magnitude higher than that of previously established in other countries.
As explained to the professor, this level of reliability due to the fact that the basis for the establishment was a die heart of the insect on the ground - cockroach.
It reminded a scientist, there were cockroaches to appear and will likely live on Earth, where man as a result of some cataclysmic will not.
Heart cockroach consists of 13 cells, whereas a person of their four. Cockroach heart continues to work, even if one cell fails. The refusal of one chamber of the heart of man leads to his stop, and death. According to Suzhou Guhi, blood pressure in their sample, they have created injected gradually in five out of thirteen cells.
In western analogs, which have existed until now, only one chamber, the pressure is blown at one time that a devastating effect on living cells, scientists believe.
Scientists have for the new artificial heart used a combination of plastic and metal. They worked on the creation of an artificial heart for three years. Scientific research funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
There are currently undergoing testing a new mechanism for the frog? they pump the blood from amphibians, while the outside. As it became known, received permission for implantation in a living organism sample to continue the experiments. It is anticipated that in May 2009, the heart would be implanted Kose.
According to Professor Guhi to the end of the tests on animals will take another year, after which it will be possible to begin testing on humans. In the experiments will be leading a cardiac Kalkuttskogo Medical College and Hospital, and New Delhi All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
If all goes as planned after three years of the first artificial heart will be set up and man.
