[Possibilities of preventive treatment of Alzheimer's disease: results of the 3-year open prospective comparative study on efficacy and safety of the course therapy with cerebrolysin and cavinton in elderly patients with the syndrome of mild cognitive impairment].

The study was conducted in 3 Russian centers (Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod). The total sample included 110 patients whose mental state met the definition of <> (MCI).

[Tanakan (EGb 761) in the therapy of mild cognitive impairment].

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) means cognitive deterioration not yet causing disability or dementia. Aged patients with MCI constitute a group of high risk for Alzheimer disease and other types of dementia. Currently, there is no generally adopted approach to MCI management but medications with neuroprotective properties are presumed to be the most perspective.

[The influence of ceruloplasmin on the rat neocortical ultrastructure in circulatory hypoxia].

Diffuse cerebral ischemia and circulatory hypoxia were modeled by carotid arteries occlusion in 40 white Wistar male rats. The changes of microcirculation bed and neurons of the sensomotor cortical area in hypoxia, preventive and therapeutic regimes of ceruloplasmin injections were compared to the neocortex state of intact rats. The changes of the neocortical ultrastructure established by electron microscopy were characteristic of hypoxic lesions described earlier in the literature.
