Different Effects of Phototherapy for Rat Glioma during Sleep and Wakefulness.

There is an association between sleep quality and glioma-specific outcomes, including survival. The critical role of sleep in survival among subjects with glioma may be due to sleep-induced activation of brain drainage (BD), that is dramatically suppressed in subjects with glioma. Emerging evidence demonstrates that photobiomodulation (PBM) is an effective technology for both the stimulation of BD and as an add-on therapy for glioma.

Mechanisms of Photostimulation of Brain's Waste Disposal System: The Role of Singlet Oxygen.

There is strong evidence that augmentation of the brain's waste disposal system via stimulation of the meningeal lymphatics might be a promising therapeutic target for preventing neurological diseases. In our previous studies, we demonstrated activation of the brain's waste disposal system using transcranial photostimulation (PS) with a laser 1267 nm, which stimulates the direct generation of singlet oxygen in the brain tissues. Here we investigate the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

[Stellanin-PEG 3% ointment: comparative antimicrobial activity against surgical infection pathogens].

Comparative antimicrobial activity of four ointments, i. e. stellanin-PEG, levomecole, dioxydin 5% ointment and betadin was studied with the use of collection microbial strains and the most frequent pathogens of pyoinflammary processes in surgical patients.

[Bacterial overgrowth syndrome in the small intestine: pathogenesis, clinical significance and therapy tactics].

The redundant bacterial growth syndrome in the small intestine is associated with the increased total semination of over 10(5) CFU/ml presented by enterobacteria, bacteroids, clostridia, fusobacteria, etc. It is developed at the dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, insufficient bacteria inhibition at the time when they come from the large intestine (atony, stasis, bypasses) and is accompanied by the enhanced intestinal barrier permeability along with chronic diarrhea and intoxication. Intestinal absorption disorders cause B12-deficiency anemia, hypovitaminosis and protein deficiency.

[Microecological aspects of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome].

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SIBOS) means chronic recurrent diarrhea with malabsorption, intoxication and increased risk of endogenous infection. This syndrome are accompanied by increase of overall bacterial burden in biotope >10(5) CFU/ml in adults and >10(4) CFU/ml in children, emergence of different species of enterobacteria, bacteroides, clostridia and fusobacteria et al. in small intestine.
