Introduction: In most cases, treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases, including lower urinary tract infections, includes antibacterial drugs. However, their efficiency decreases every year. The absence of new groups of antibiotics makes it necessary to develop alternative treatment schemes and methods for improving efficiency of existing drugs.

Oxidative stress resulting from accumulation of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and halogen species (ROS, RNS, and RHS, respectively) causes the damage of cells and biomolecules. However, over the long evolutionary time, living organisms have developed the mechanisms for adaptation to oxidative stress conditions including the activity of the antioxidant system (AOS), which maintains low intracellular levels of RONS (ROS and RNS) and RHS. Moreover, living organisms have adapted to use low concentrations of these electrophiles for the regulation of cell functions through the reversible post-translational chemical modifications of redox-sensitive amino acid residues in intracellular effectors of signal transduction pathways (protein kinases and protein phosphatases), transcription factors, etc.

This paper theoretically and experimentally considers the pulsed mode of operation of the radiation-receiving system. The system contains two identical piezoceramic plates separated by a layer of immersion liquid (glycerin). The emitter was excited by the complex electrical signal of the special shape, which consisted of two half-cycles of the sine wave (exciting and compensating) on the natural frequency of the piezoplates.

This paper presents results of a study involving 120 patients with infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary system, divided into four groups. Groups 1 and 3 included patients with acute serous non-obstructive pyelonephritis, groups 2 and 4--patients with exacerbation of chronic recurrent bacterial cystitis. Patients in groups 3 and 4 received a 10 day course of antibiotic therapy combined with Prolit super septo while patients in groups 1 and 2--only the standard antibiotic therapy.

The article presents the results of the study including 60 patients with erectile dysfunction, divided into four age groups: 20-30, 31-30, 41-50, and 51-60. All patients have received biocomplex "NeiroDoz" for two months 2 capsules 2 times a day. Clinical effectiveness was evaluated according to the ICF and ICEF questionnaires and according to the patient's subjective evaluation of the clinical efficacy; the psycho-emotional status of patients and changes in the chronograms were also analyzed.
