[Strategy for the use of chondroprotectors in osteoarthrosis].

Symptomatic slow-acting drugs (chondroprotectors) as different dosage forms have widespread application in the treatment of osteoarthrosis (OA) at different locations. The literature review considers their possible effect on carbohydrate metabolism, which is particularly important due to the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with OA.

[Relationship of subclinical atherosclerosis indicators to exercise tolerance in patients with coronary heart disease].

Aim: To study the spread of a number of indicators of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the pattern of their relationship to their functional state and muscle mass.

Subjects And Methods: Twenty patients with chronic forms of CHD were examined. Vascular wall stiffness was judged from pulse wave velocity (PWV) along elastic-type vessels, by calculating the carotid-femoral index (CFI).

[The influence of ration with different content of fat the pain syndrome in osteoarthrosis with the knee joint].

Study the influence of ration different content of fat the pain syndrome in osteoarthrosis with the knee joint. We examined 112 women at the age 59 (54-63) with osteoarthrosis the knee joint. Elicit what plenty in ration of fat (more than 45% caloric intake) promote the aggravation pain syndrome in the knee joint in osteoarthrosis patients.

[Arthrosonography as a method to assess the degenerative and inflammatory components of knee osteoarthrosis].

Ultrasound examination of the knee joints was performed in 254 patients with Kellgren-Lawrence I to III stage osteoarthrosis using Aloha Pro Sound 5500 device (Japan) and Philips Envision device with 7.5 to 12 MHz linear sensors. Bone contours, the height of the cartilage, the degree of the marginal osteophytosis, the structure of periarticular formations--the bursae, the tendons and their vaginas--as well as the presence and the quantity of articular excaudate, the thickness and changes in the synovian membrane, were evaluated.
