[Nordic walking in an integrated approach to improving the quality of life of the elderly.].

The article analyzes the results of the impact of an integrated approach to lifestyle modification, including Nordic walking, rational nutrition and pharmacotherapy, on the quality of life of elderly people (average age 72,5±3,6 years). A significant improvement in the pain scale indicator of the MOS SF-36 was revealed after six months (p=0,001), which was also determined by the end of the year (p=0,0001). A tendency to improve the quality of life was revealed in the Minnesota Questionnaire after six months (p=0,0617).

Effects of hydrophobic amino acids and antibodies to nerve growth factor receptors on the development of splenic tissue culture from young and old rats.

The effects of hydrophobic L-amino acids alone and in the presence of monoclonal antibodies to nerve growth factor receptors NGFRp75 (apoptosis inductors) were studied on organotypic culture of splenic lymphoid tissue from young (3 months) and old (24 months) rats. Nine amino acids inhibited cell proliferation in splenic explants from young rats. This was paralleled by hyperexpression of p53 proapoptotic protein.
