Many human diseases including cancer, degenerative and autoimmune disorders, diabetes and others are multifactorial. Pharmaceutical agents acting on a single target do not provide their efficient curation. Multitargeted drugs exhibiting pleiotropic pharmacological effects have certain advantages due to the normalization of the complex pathological processes of different etiology.

PLA is a complex of structurally diverse small organic compounds including biologically active substances of phytoadaptogenes (ginsenosides from Panax ginseng, rhodionin from Rhodiola rosea and others) compiled considering previously developed pharmaceutical compositions. Two variants of the pharmaceutical composition were studied: - the major and minor variants included 22 and 13 compounds, respectively.

A sluggish, asymptomatic course of the disease does not exclude transformation into a malignant form that occurs in 25% of patients with SMZL. Another equally important sign of an NL is thrombosis that occurs in 3.

Background: Kaposi's sarcoma (multiple idiopathic hemorrhagic sarcoma, Kaposi's angiosarcoma) is an angioproliferative neoplasm of endothelial origin associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV - 8) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The incidence of the classical form of Kaposi's sarcoma (КS) varies significantly in different geographical areas from 0.14/1 million people (both men and women) to 10.

Pathological processes occurring in intestinal epithelium cells can be revealed by changes in the autoantibody titers to intestinal antigens. It is important both in diagnosis and in the evaluation of the treatment effectiveness.

We studied the influence of nontoxic phytoadaptogen complex on the lifespan and somatic status (body weight, coat state, and motor activity) of CBA mice predisposed to spontaneous hepatomas. Administration of the complex phytoadaptogen during the first month of postnatal ontogeny increased mean animal lifespan by 17.1% (p<0.

The aim of the work was to elucidate the radioprotective activity of multyphytoadaptogene (MPA) in mice in various conditions of gamma radiation and MPA application. Males of CBA x C57BL/6 F1 mice were given 15% MPA solution with drinking water 2 weeks before the radiating (preventive application), 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the radiating (preventive and therapeutic application) and also 2 weeks after the radiating only (therapeutic application). Animals of control groups received radiation or were given 5% ethanol solution in drinking water in the same application schemes.

Cryoprecipitate stimulated the hepatocyte regeneration (appearance of binuclear and proliferating cells) in liver tissue in cirrhosis, but the initial structure of the liver was not restored. The newly formed focus of regeneration with proper girder structure of hepatocytes forced back the connective tissue.

The use of complex phytoadaptogen in the treatment of patients with leukoplakia normalized expression of Fas-APO-1 antigen and keratin 17; increased expression of CD54 attested to activation of immune effectors. The clinical effect manifested in involution or shrinkage and loosening of the pathological focus and complete epithelialization of erosive surfaces.
