[Age features of bioregulatory therapy of dental diseases.].

The article presents data on the use of peptide bioregulators of cell homeostasis and the protective functions of the body in various dental diseases and pathology of organs and tissues of the maxillofacial region. Issues related to the immunopharmacological effect and clinical use of natural and synthetic peptide thymomimetics (thymalin, thymogen, vilon, epithalamin, cortexin) and peptide bioregulators from cartilaginous (sigumir, chondrolux) and other tissues in case of trauma, as well as inflammatory, inflammatory and other pathological processes of tissues of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region. Particular attention is paid to their use in the complex treatment of dental diseases in the elderly.

[Pathogenetic characteristics of generalized parodontitis in elderly patients].

Chronic periodontit inflammation in old-aged patients was found to be accompanied by imbalance of complement system; sIgA, IgA, IgG and IgM hyperproduction; increased concentrations of IL-8, IL-1alpha and decreased level of IL-4; abrogated NO and its derivatives concentration; increased anti-HSP-70 and homocystein levels in blood and saliva. The obtained results justify the necessity to use in therapy of chronic parodontit inflammation the immunocorrection, antioxidant and bioregulatory therapy, which normalize the cells function.

[The role of heat shock proteins in immune reactions in old-aged patients with chronic generalized periodontitis].

Chronic generalized periodontitis in the old-aged patients is accompanied by high levels of the antibodies to HSP, sIgA, IgM, IgG hyperproduction; elevated concentrations of IL-8 and IL-1alpha and low content of IL-4 in saliva and blood. Local anti-inflammatory therapy of chronic periodontitis does not restore normal immunity status. Appearance of antibodies to HSP plays a role in immune reactions, which maintain chronic inflammation of periodontium.

[Some aspects of immune reaction in chronic generalized parodontal disease in elderly patients].

Chronic parodontit inflammation in elderly patients was found to be accompanied by inbalance of complement system; IgA (sIgA), IgA, IgG, IgM hyperproduction; the increase of IL-8, IL-1α concentration and decrease of IL-4 level; increase Hsp-70 antibodies.

[Effect of vilon on the immunity status and coagulation hemostasis in patients of different age with diabetes mellitus].

Improving the status of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus is an important issue of gerontology and geriatrics. This work was aimed at the study of the effect of thymomimetic Vilon on the immune status and coagulation hemostasis in elderly patients with type I diabetes mellitus. It was found that the administration of Vilon as an addition to the complex therapy for this cohort of patients resulted in optimization of coagulation hemostasis, which was manifested in the increased content of natural anticoagulants: antithrombin III and protein C, as well as in the stimulation of fibrinolysis.
