Oligonucleotide Microchip for the Identification of Infectious Agents of Reproductive System with Simultaneous Analysis of Determinants of Resistance to Antimicrobial Substances.

We developed a multiplexed DNA microarray-based assay allowing identification of 12 causative agents of reproductive tract infections with the simultaneous detection of 47 genetic determinants of resistance to antimicrobial substances. The microarray was tested on 93 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, 32 isolates of Treponema pallidum and 29 samples of Ureaplasma spp./Mycoplasma spp.

EXPERIENCE OF APPLICATION OF VOLUME FORMING AGENT «DAM+» IN TREATMENT OF ANAL INCONTINENCE ASSOCIATED WITH INCOMPETENCE AND TRAUMA OF ANAL SPHINCTER.

The attempts of introduction of volume forming agent in submucous layer started at the beginning of 1990th. The aim of these innovations was to rise of basal pressure. This research has been performing since 2007.

Characteristics of cardiac cell cultures derived from human myocardial explants.

Primary cell cultures derived from human myocardial explants were obtained and characterized. The explant cultures contained cardiac stem cells (c-kit(+); ≈ 4%), microvascular cells (endothelial cells and pericytes), fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts. It was demonstrated that culturing of cardiac cells in cardiospheres did not promote enrichment of the cell culture with stem cells.

[The changes in the brain's electrical activity in children with cerebral palsy during the complex rehabilitation].

One hundred and five children, aged from 3 to 7 years, with the diagnosis "spastic diplegia cerebral palsy" were treated. Patients were stratified into three groups: group I (n=36) received three courses of microcurrent therapy (MENS) in addition to standard treatment; group II (n=38) received three courses of MENS in the combination with two treatment courses with the nootropic drug cortexin; children of group III (n=31) received standard therapy using massage and gymnastics. MENS was carried out in courses, including 15 sessions each, using the apparatus "MEKS".

[The role of microcurrent reflexotherapy in combination with neuroprotector in the rehabilitation of the patients with infantile cerebral palsy].

The objective of the present study was to estimate the therapeutic efficacy of the combined treatment of infantile cerebral palsy by means of microcurrent reflexotherapy (MCRT) in combination with the neuroprotector cortexin. This treatment including 15 sessions with the use of a MAKS apparatus was given to 69 children at the age from 3 to 7 years. They were randomly allocated to two groups.
