[Neurospecific proteins and autoantibodies in serum of patients with acute ischemic stroke].

Neurospecific enolase (NSE), gliofibrillar acid protein (GFAP), S100 protein and autoantibodies (AAB) to these proteins have been measured in the blood of 42 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Concentrations of all parameters we re increased in patients compared to the control group. There were a positive correlations between contents of AAB to GFAP and AAB to NSE (r = 0.

[The use of pantogam in patients with moderate cognitive disorders of vascular genesis].

Forty-five patients with discirculatory encephalopathy, I-II stages, and moderate cognitive disorders of vascular genesis were examined. All patients were stratified into 2 groups: 25 patients of the main group received pantoham in the complex therapy in dose 250 mg 3 times a day during 2 months; 20 patients of the comparison group received only a unified therapy (antihypertensive drugs and, if necessary, coronarolytics and glucose-decreasing drugs. The clinical/neurological and instrumental examinations and neuropsychological testing were performed before the treatment and after 8 weeks.

[The impact of microcirculation dysfunction on the clinical presentations of multiple sclerosis in patients above 45 years and the possible ways of correction of the vascular pathology].

The study was based on the hypothesis that the age-specific vascular disturbances, along with autoimmune processes, might play a role in the development of neurodegenerative changes in multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients above 45 years. Vascular disturbances were assessed using single photon emission computer tomography. Also magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound dopplerography of the brain and evaluation of patient's neurological and mental state with the MMSE were used.

[Hemodynamic characteristics of the brain in angiogenic cochleovestibulopathies and lipid distress syndrome (Communication 2--radionuclide diagnosis)].

Radionuclide tracing employed to study arterial and venous blood supply to the brain in 100 patients with angiogenic cochleovestibulopathies and lipid distress syndrome has provided information on perfusion of the brain, arterial and venous hemodynamics with reference to the form of cochleovestibular disorders and atherosclerotic defects of extra- and intracranial cerebral arteries.
