[The role of changes in the structure of water and water-based systems in the mechanism of combined action of the magnetic field and natural therapeutic factors].

The application of the dielectrometric technology in the combination with the resonance method and thermometry has been shown to provide an insight into a variety of factors including the influence of the magnetic field of the permanent magnets on the structure of water and water-containing systems. It was found that the magnetization of both distilled water and «Karachinskaya» mineral water increase their structuredness. Magnetization changes the biological properties of therapeutic peloids by virtue of a change in the structure of water and, accordingly, the structuring of the water fraction of therapeutic muds.

[Reserve of serum lipids for peroxidation during oxidative stress in rats].

The index quantitatively characterizing the serum lipids reserve for peroxidation (SLRP) was developed and evaluated in rats with simulated toxic (CCl4) hepatitis. The index represents a ratio of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in serum before and after stimulation of peroxidation by Fe2+ ions (in the same sample). The index SLRP allows to evaluate direction and the intensity of imbalance among prooxidants action and the total activity of serum lipids antioxidant system even when there is no change of MDA basal level.

[The morphofunctional validation of the use of vibration-traction for the correction of contractures of the joints].

Experiments in modelling joint contracture have shown that vibrotracture with step-by-step frequency rise in one procedure and discrete rise in traction power in the course of procedures may correct joint contracture. Basing on these experimental findings, the authors have developed highly effective method of vibrotraction treatment of joint contractures (patent N 1804819).

[The anti-arrhythmic effect of the electrophoresis of a natural shirsal preparation in the 2nd-stage rehabilitation of myocardial infarct patients].

Experimental and clinical trials of antiarrhythmic effect of shirsal (natural salt of lake Shira mineral water) have shown that rehabilitation complex including shirsal electrophoresis is beneficial for MI patients with arrhythmia. Shirsal electrophoresis extends indications for sanatorium treatment of MI patients with stable angina of effort (functional class III-IV), grade I-IV arrhythmia, chronic circulatory insufficiency.

[The characteristics of the mechanism of action in the joint use of solutions of brine and mud extracts with galvanization and ultrasonic exposure. 2].

Radionuclide tracing has demonstrated that intraperitoneal introduction of natural brine and mud solutions to intact rats followed by ultrasound versus galvanization provides more intensive delivery of chemical elements to the target organs and tissues. These differences should be taken into account when planning rehabilitation schemes with various physiotherapeutic modalities.
