Morphological and Immunohistochemical Features of the Heart under the Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide Balneotherapy.

The effects of hydrogen sulfide baths and sulfide-silt mud applications on the abdominal wall were studied in outbred white rats. Heart preparations stained with hematoxylin and eosin were analyzed and the mean numbers of cells expressing Ki-67, Nkx-2.5, and mesenchymal stem cell markers were determined.

[Potentiation of the effect of peloid balneotherapy during the treatment of non-specific pains in the lower back].

The natural factors of the "Kluchi" resort are successfully used for the medical rehabilitation of the patients suffering from nonspecific pain in the lower back for a long time. The present comprehensive study of the painful psychovegetative status and the level of blood serotonin included 78 patients presenting with lumbar dorsopathy. After the course of the treatment based at the "Kluchi" health resort, the most significant improvement in the patient's condition was documented in the case of the combination of peloid balneotherapy with magnetic laser therapy and application of efthidermum MPE to the lumbar region.

[The effectiveness of short courses of balneopeloidtherapy of dorsopathies based at the "Kliuchi Health Resort"].

Natural therapeutic factors are successfully used at the Klyuchi health resort for the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with dorsopathies. A total of 120 patients with this condition were examined for the evaluation of their algic and psychovegetative status before and after the balneopeloid therapeutic treatment in combination with transcranial electrostimulation of the brain. Serum serotonin levels were measured during the same periods.

[The problems of antihypertensive balneotherapy].

This review is devoted to the challenging problems of balneotherapeutics, such as the mechanisms of antihypertensive balneotherapy and its optimization. The experience of the authors with the practical application of chloride - sodium, iodine - bromide, and hydrogen sulfide mineral baths is analysed in comparison with the literature data. The role, dosage regimen, and duration of balneotherapeutic treatment as well as the effectiveness of its combination with medicamental therapy are considered.

[The effectiveness of sulfate magnesium-calcium mineral water for the treatment of the patients presenting with chronic acalculous cholecystitis].

This paper was designed to report the results of investigations into the therapeutic effectiveness of "Kluchi" sulfate magnesiumcalcium mineral water used to treat 194 patients presenting with chronic acalculous cholecystitis and different types of biliary tract dysfunction. The control group was comprised of 92 patients who took a diet. It was shown, that mineral water "Kluchi" exerted well apparent beneficial action on the motor function of the gallbladder and the sphincter apparatus.

[The hygienic characteristic and effectiveness of the application of natural sylvinite screens for the combined treatment of the patients presenting with vulgar psoriasis].

The objective of the present study was to provide hygienic assessment of hospital wards equipped with the therapeutic sylvinite screens (TSS) and compare the results of the treatment of 80 patients suffering vulgar psoriasis with the use of TSS and without them. The sylvinite screens made it possible to create comfortable microenvironment in the wards and moderately increased the radiation background (0,15+/-0,005 Sv/hour) thereby promoting saturation of the ward atmosphere with aeroions dominated by the light negative particles (491,5+/-14,4 units/cm3). Such healthy environment hadc beneficial effect on the clinical course of the psoriatic process, the state of functional systems of the patients and their quality of life.

[The effectiveness of the application of mineral water from the Klyuchi health resort in the programs of combined spa-based rehabilitation of the patients presenting with acquired jaw defects].

The results of the present study give evidence of the well-apparent sanation effect of balneotherapy with the use of therapeutic mineral water (MW) extracted at the Klyuchi health resort. Irrigation of the oral cavity with this mineral water was shown to reduce the number of the strains of opportunistic microorganisms and their virulence potential. It is concluded that the proposed method may be recommended for the treatment and prevention of dysbiosis in the oral cavity of the patients presenting with acquired jaw defects.

[Experimental rationale for the use of enterosorbents in acute ethanol intoxication].

The experiment on 83 rats has provided a rationale for the use of enterosorbents in acute ethanol intoxication. Polysorb reduces the halflife of ethanol, recovers physical fitness in the animals with acute poisoning. The enterosorbents polysorb, litovit, and sapropel have been found to have a corrective effect on the level of the major plasma antioxidant ceruloplasmin in acute ethanol intoxication.

[The effectiveness of SCENAR therapy in complex treatment of duodenal ulcer, and the mechanisms of its action].

A new technique of low-frequency modulated electric current therapy, SCENAR therapy, was used in treatment of 103 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU). The influence of SCENAR therapy on the main clinical and functional indices of a DU relapse was studied. It was shown that SCENAR therapy, which influences disturbed mechanisms of adaptive regulation and self-regulation, led to positive changes in most of the parameters under study.

[Efficacy of the drinking magnesium-calcium sulfate mineral water in the combined treatment of duodenal ulcer comorbid with gastroesophageal reflux].

Thirty patients with duodenal ulcer in remission running in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were divided into two groups. Patients of group 1 received medication (omeprasol 20 mg twice a day, motilium 10 mg 3 times a day) and mineral water Klyuchi (200 ml 3 times a day). Patients of group 2 received the same medication but no mineral water.

["Scanner" therapy of duodenal ulcers: new approaches to alternative non-medication treatment].

Scanner therapy in the treatment of patients having duodenal ulcer relapse combines high pharmacoeconomic efficiency with safety providing for clinical and endoscopic remission of the disease.

[Physiotherapeutic treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer].

The review presents 69 references of current literature on the problem of gastroduodenal ulcer physiotherapy which has a good potential of impact on gastroduodenal motility, lipid peroxidation, microcirculation, physiological and reparative regeneration of epithelial and glandular cells. The choice of a physiotherapeutic method depends on the disease stage and to a less extent on location of the ulcer defect.
