STATE OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS IN CHILDREN WITH PATHOLOGY OF DIGESTIVE ORGANS, WHO LIVE AT RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE.

Objective: to study the state of cognitive functions in children who were born and permanently live at radioactive contaminated territories (RCT) with pathology of the upper digestive tract, using pathopsychological testing; to increase the effectiveness of treatment and prophylactic measures aimed at preserving and restoring the health of RCT residents.

Design, Patients And Methods: A randomized blind controlled clinical trial was conducted. There were examined, a total of 90 persons aged 6 to 17 years (35 boys and 55 girls) who were divided into two groups: the control group (I) included 30 persons of the conventional «clean» territories, and the main group (II) - 60 patients with patho- logy of the digestive organs who were born and live at the RCT.

ELECTROLYTE CONTENT IN SALIVA OF CHILDREN WITH DEVIATION IN VEGETATIVE STATUS RESIDING AT RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE AFTER APPLICATION OF INTERMITTENT NORMOBARIC HYPOXIA.

Objective was to determine the content of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) elec-trolytes in non-stimulated mixed saliva of children, with disorders of autonomous nervous system (ANS), who wereborn and are permanently residing at radioactive contaminated territories after application of intermittent normo-baric hypoxia (INH) of sanogenic level.Patientes and methods. The children (41 boys and 62 girls) aged 6-17 years were examined.

Efficiency of endothelial dysfunctioncorrection in children residents of radioactively contaminated areas using the method of intermittent normobaric hypoxi therapy.

Unlabelled: Objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of intermittent normobaric hypoxi therapy as the means that can posi tively influence on the different links in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction in children residents of radioactively contaminated areas.

Materials And Methods: Disorders of personal and emotional sphere, symptoms of asthenic vegetative and neurot ic character, the signs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, abdominal and dyspeptic syndromes are attrib uted to the clinical signs of endothelial dysfunction. There were determined the biochemical parameters of the con tent of stable metabolites of NO, L arginine, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes in the blood serum; the indices of cellular and humoral immunity; the instrumental indices of vascular endothelium dependent reaction to occlu sion test, ventilating ability of the lungs, the bioelectric activity of the myocardium.

[INFLUENCE OF INTERMITTENT NORMOBARIC HYPOXIA ON THE VEGETATIVE HOMEOSTASIS IN CHILDREN FROM RADIOECOLOGICALLY AFFECTED REGIONS].

The effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) of sanogenic level on children living in radioactively contaminated territories has been investigated. Children divided into three groups: 37 patients were included in the main group (the 1st group--medical therapy according to the protocols and INH sessions), 35 persons--in the comparison group (the 2nd group--medical therapy), 30 persons--in the control group (the 3rd group--healthy persons). A significant increase in RMSSD index by 36% in phone registration was established in children aged 6-11 years of the main group after combined treatment with INH sessions (10-12% oxygen in nitrogen), and by 27% under the use of orthoclinostatic test in children aged 12-17 years.

[INFLUENCE OF INTERMITTENT NORMOBARIC HYPOXIA ON CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS OF CHILDREN LIVED AT RADIATION CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES.].

The effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) of sanogenic level on the state of the cardiovascular system in 120 children aged from 12 to 17 years was studied. Children were divided into 3 groups. The 1st control group consisted of 20 persons (practically healthy ones), the 2nd group, a group of comparison, included 50 persons, and there were 50 persons in the 3rd group - a main group.
