During examination of 165 children aged 5 to 15 years (primarily identified during planned monitoring in Petrozavodsk children's institutions) with dysfunctional urination and encopresis without organic lesion of the central nervous system, autonomic dysfunction syndrome (ADS) was revealed. According to the results of urological examination, which was supplemented with the registration of spontaneous voiding rate and counting the radial pulse, overactive bladder syndrome and insufficient relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles during urination and defecation were detected; relationship between the number of heart rate (as a marker of sympathetic nervous system activity) and the effective volume was identified. It was revealed that the children with ADS in the presence of tachycardia show intermittent decrease of effective amounts of urination, and have residual urine.

Preliminary adrenergic receptor blockade prevented changes in cell metabolism characteristic of immobilization stress. The role of adrenergic regulation in the realization of energotropic effects during immobilization stress was examined.

All the animals were examined for cytochemical activity of succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase in blood lymphocytes, antioxidant activity of blood plasm, levels of hydroperoxides, malonic dialdehyde. 3-hour immobilization raises functional activity of mitochondria manifesting with intensification of energy metabolism.

The detrusor function was assessed at retrograde cystometry performed before and after the drugs administration. The cystotonograms were estimated using a computer program of Relief urosystem according to the standard and additional indices.
