Simultaneous application of transcranial magnetic stimulation and low-frequency electrostatic field as treatment of carbohydrate and lipid disorders in patients with metabolic syndrome.

The metabolic syndrome, which covers a wide variety of pathological concerns, is rapidly becoming a global pandemic. This syndrome is difficult to treat pharmacologically. Physiotherapy techniques, which have both local and systemic effects, can be employed as a suitable substitute.

[Prospects of drinking mineral water in the rehabilitation of patients with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection: analysis of the main sanogenetic mechanisms].

This review provides an analysis of the main mechanisms of the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of drinking mineral water concerning the rehabilitation of new coronavirus infection convalescents. When considering the sanogenetic potential of mineral water for drinking, it was noted that in the mechanisms of their systemic effects, a major role belongs to the nonspecific hormone-stimulating effect in the form of a pronounced activation of the gastroenteropancreatic endocrine system, capable of integrating substance and energy exchange following the current needs of the body and excrete vasoactive factors modulating the vital functional systems activity. The maximum effect of this system is promoted by the intake of mineral water with a high content of hydrocarbonate ions, magnesium, and sodium, as well as carbon dioxide saturation, but with general mineralization of water within the range from 5-6 to 11-13 g/L.

[Predictive significance of initial morpho-functional characteristics for the evaluation of effectiveness of remedial correction of arterial hypertension].

Analysis of effectiveness of spa-and-resort treatment of 154 patients with arterial hypertension and metabolic disturbances has demonstrated predictive value of variations of biological characteristics which suggests their important contribution to beneficial outcome of rehabilitative therapy. Results of the study made it possible to distinguish the most essential aspects of metabolism and its regulation related to the success of spa-and-resort treatment.

Biochemical effects of phytoinhalation and oral administration of biologically active additives containing beta-carotene (e.g. vetoron) are evaluated with special reference to changes in lipid peroxidation.

[Efficiency of non-medicamentous therapy and evaluation of intersystemic relationship between functional reserves of the organism and periodontal status in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis].

Mechanisms of mutual influence and aggravation of splanchnic organ and oral cavity diseases are discussed in the context of the integral anthropological approach. The systemic character of analysis of pathogenetic mechanisms of chronic generalized periodontitis dictates the necessity of an absolutely new conceptual outlook of organization and implementation of medical and preventive measures designed to activate sanogenetic responses and to enhance the regulatory potential and functional reserves of the organism in the presence of developing periodontitis. It was shown that inclusion of intermittent hypoxic training in the combined rehabilitative treatment of the patients with chronic periodontitis substantially promotes corrective influences on periodontal tissues and ensures stable clinical effect.

[Phytotherapy of arterial hypertension with concomitant obesity in sanatorium-resort conditions].

Efficiency of different phytotherapeutic modalities (per os, baths, inhalation) in patients with arterial hypertension was evaluated under conditions of balneologic treatment. Modes of their curative action and mechanisms of the disease are considered. Comparative analysis of non-medicamentous technologies used in balneologic practice is presented.

[Influence of food biologically active supplements on the immune status of healthy volunteers].

The authors show that use of biologically active additions to food Bio-Normalizer, Oxine, Gonsyn and Lovsin is effective method of immune correction of human functional state. These biologically active additions to food lead to increase 15-25 per cent of T-helper activity, activates 20-32 per cent of B-component of immune system, enhance of immunocompetent cells cooperation and rise human antibacterial resistance. That all optimizes immune response and increases resistance to extreme impacts.

[Metabolic effects of static physical load under the conditions of pharmakologicheskoĭ mobilization of physical endurance].

The model of static physical loading (SPL) was used to study the biochemical effects of graded static tension and potentiality for pharmacological mobilization of physical endurance with participation of male volunteers. A close pathogenetic linkage between the established metabolic effects of the model and their adaptive adequacy to the stressing factor show that there is every reason to arrange the observed shifts in a SPL syndrome. The SPL syndrome is primarily manifested by exaggerated tone of the adrenoactive structures, inhibition of insulin production by the pancreas, activation of the neuropeptide anti-stress mechanisms, predominant utilization of the lipid substrate in energy production, intensification of protein catabolism, and increase in myocyte membrane permeability due to energy deficit.

[Antioxidant effects of vetoron in flying personnel with arterial hypertension].

The purpose of the investigation was to assess the possibility to control free radical oxidation in patients with cardiovascular pathologies with the help of vetoron. This was the first attempt to study effects of a beta-carotene (vetoron) on lipid peroxidation and the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes in flying personnel with cardiovascular pathologies (hypertension and neurocirculatory dystonia). Therapeutic effect of the medicament was evaluated by its action on peroxide metabolism (malonic dialdehyde, acyl hydroperoxides and trien conjugates, Schiff bases) and stimulation of the antioxidant defense enzymes (catalase and glutathione reductase).

[Fat loading test: biochemical criteria and informative value of the physical endurance assessment].

Biochemical criteria of the fat loading test (FLT) were established and the search for interrelations between FLT biochemical variables and physiological parameters of dynamic physical testing (bicycle ergometry) was conducted in the experiment with participation of male volunteers. Relative gain in glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol concentrations in blood, atherogenicity factor and insulin decrease after 3-hr FLT and reduction in blood concentrations of total cholesterol, insulin, hydrocortisone and testosterone after 9-hr FLT were ranked as reliable criteria. Rise in blood glucose and decrease in blood insulin after 3-hr FLT, and decrease in serum testosterone after 9-hr FLT were found to have prognostic value.

[Informational assets of glucose tolerance test in evaluation of endurance to psychoemotional stress].

Psychoemotional stresses were simulated in male volunteers in order to evaluate the predictive value of the glucose-tolerance test patterns. As was found, the predictive information is provided by the following parameters: Rafalsky and Boduen coefficients, glucose levels during 60-min testing, and the hypoinsulinemia coefficient. Operator's performance under the condition of time constraint is directly dependent on the insulin content.

[Predictive information of basic indices of biochemical status of a man in evaluating the tolerance to acute hypoxia].

Under simulation of acute hypoxic hypoxia with participating the volunteers (men) there has been studied the predictor significance of the biochemical indices characterising an intensity of lipoperoxidation process, hormonal status and level of fermentemia. It is indicated that the following indices, namely, LDH, a [symbol: see text]-DPDH, MPD, secondary products of POL, SOD, insulin, cAMP and cAMP/cGMP have the prognostic validity. The revealed combination of the reliable relations was approximated by the equations of one-factor regression.

[Methodological aspects of pharmacological regulation of emotional stress in persons with dangerous occupations].

The significance of the emotional stress problem for persons of dangerous professions makes it necessary to search for the optimal procedure for emotional status correction. However, taking into account the specific features of military specialists' professional activity, it is highly difficult to choose a single drug. The authors apply a differential approach to solving the problem by considering the efficacy of tranquilizers, stimulants, adrenergic blocking agents, and adaptogens.

[Pharmacological correction of lipid peroxidation during hypoxia and possibility to enhance human resistance to high altitude by using preparations of the metabolic type of action].

In simulating acute hypoxic hypoxia with the participation of male volunteers, the authors investigated the antihypoxic and antioxidative activity of metabolic drugs (jakton, amtizole succinate, nootropil, probucol, and a mixture which consists of jakton, amtizole succinate, and probucol). The pharmaceuticals were shown to have heterodirectional effects on lipid peroxidative processes. Drugs having a pronounced antioxidative activity (such as probucol and the mixture) promotes oxygen utilization during hypoxia and posthypoxic reoxygenation chiefly by the oxygenase pathway.
