The Use of Umbilical Cord Blood Nucleated Cells in the Treatment of Regressive Autism: A Case Report.

Background: Interest in the issue of childhood autism has surged in the recent decades. At the same time, despite the significant progress achieved in understanding the etiological and pathogenetic aspects of the condition, effective ways to treat it have continued to elude us. Stem cell therapy appears to hold great promise in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with both neurological diseases (cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus) and mental disorders (autism, schizophrenia).

[Allogeneic umbilical cord blood cell therapy for children with autism: safety and efficacy of the method].

Objective: To evaluate effectiveness and safety of umbilical cord blood cells (UCBC) in children with ASD.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 13 boys and 2 girls, mean age 7.0±0.

[Cognitive deficit in children with hyperkinetic disorder].

The review presents current data on the nature of cognitive deficit in children with hyperkinetic disorder, and possible pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. Considering possible neurobiological components of hyperkinetic disorder, attention is given to pathological functional connections underlying specific clinical manifestations of the disease.

[Features of the dynamics of clinical types of developmental delay in preschool children with residual brain damage].

Aim: To study the features of the dynamics of different clinical variants of developmental delay (DD) in preschoolers with residual brain damage and analyze the relationship of these types with disease course and prognosis.

Material And Methods: Eighty-six children (76 boys and 10 girls), aged 3-6 years, were examined.

Results And Conclusion: The following clinical variants have been described: DD with speech impairments (motor and sensory-motor alalia); DD with hyperdynamic syndrome; DD with autistic syndrome; DD with affective instability syndrome; DD with neurotic syndromes (cerebroasthenic syndrome and other neurotic-like conditions).

[Morphometric characteristics of tularemia infectious process in the organism of immunized guinea pigs].

Aim: Morphometric characteristic of organ and system state of guinea pigs immunized with live tularemia vaccine during infection with virulent culture of tularemia.

Materials And Methods: Morphometric study of histological material from immunized guinea pigs infected subcutaneously at day 30 with a culture of virulent tularemia strain was performed. A standard scheme of sampling and preparation of morphological material and staining of final semifine section with hematoxylin and eosin, impregnation with silver by Masson in Gamperl and Grimelius modificationwas used.
