Methodology for Integral Study of Antagonistic Activity of Normal Nasal Microbiota to Select Potential Probiotics Efficient in Eradication of Staphylococcus aureus.

The aim of this study was the development of a methodology for the integral study of the antagonistic activity of normal human microbiota against Staphylococcus aureus to enable direct selection (without prior isolation of pure cultures) of potentially highly efficient probiotic preparations. The selection of bacterial representatives of normal human nasal microbiota capable of antagonizing S. aureus was carried out using two complimentary methods: replica-plating and deferred antagonism procedures.

[PHYSICAL THERAPEUTIC FACTORS IN STAGE MEDICAL REHABILITATION OF PUERPERAS WITH PERINEAL WOUNDS AFTER FETAL VACUUM EXTRACTION].

Objective - to assess the role of physical therapeutic factors in the staged medical rehabilitation of puerperas with perineal wounds after fetal vacuum extraction. A comparative analysis of the postpartum period was carried out in 154 puerperas with perineal injuries after fetal vacuum extraction. Three groups were formed by simple randomization: patients in the control group (54 women) received standard treatment only; the experimental group (51 women) received standard treatment and low-intensity magnetic laser therapy (LLLT); the main group (49 women) underwent additional extracorporeal magnetic stimulation.

[The analysis of opinions of pediatricians about organization and perspectives of development of primary medical sanitary care of children].

The analysis of opinions of district pediatricians about state and perspectives of development of primary medical sanitary care for children in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic permitted to obtain competent assessment of quality of polyclinic medical care. The positive tendencies in activities of children polyclinics were established. However, the problem of achieving higher quality of medical care of children continues to be actual.

[The role of interval hypoxytherapy and enteral oxygen therapy in the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

Background: The efficiency of the application of normobaric interval hypoxic therapy and enteral oxygen therapy for the treatment of the patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease remains to be confirmed.

Aim: The objective of the present study was the identification of the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the efficiency of normobaric interval hypoxic therapy and enteral oxygen therapy in the patients presenting with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Material And Methods: A total of 230 patients at the age from 45 to 60 years were examined.

[Serum values of cytokines in patients with ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension.].

The studied levels of cytokines (levels of Pro-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-1β, anti-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-10, CD40 ligand (CD40L)) in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease. Indicators of Pro-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-1β and anti-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-10 were significantly increased in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease compared with values in healthy individuals. Elevated interleukin-1β and CD40L in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease compared with values in healthy individuals indicate inflammatory process in the endothelium.

[Gerontological problems and prospects of regional management. Strategy and structure of interdepartmental gerontological assistance in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.].

The article presents the structure of interdepartmental gerontological care in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The basic principles, directions and prospects of work are stated. The main principles, directions and prospects of work.

[The spa and health resort-based treatment of the women of various employments presenting with arterial hypertension].

Aim: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of balneotherapy for the women of various employments presenting with arterial hypertension.

Material And Methods: The study included 57 women with stage I (n=29) and II (n=28) hypertension. One study group was comprised of 28 female motor drivers including taxi-drivers (n=12), personal car drivers (n=7), and trolleybus drivers (n=9) at the mean age of 46,2±6,9 years suffering from occupational emotional stress (OES) and systematic psychoemotional tension (PET).

[The spa and resort-based health-promoting treatment of the vehicle drivers suffering from duodenal ulcer disease: the effectiveness and safety].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of the spa and resort-based health-promoting treatment of the vehicle drivers (VD) presenting with duodenal ulcer disease.

Material And Methods: A total of 67 men suffering from duodenal ulcer disease (DUD) were allocated to two groups. The patients of group 1 (n = 35) were given the courses of balneotherapy that included bromine-iodine mineral baths with a temperature of 36-37 degrees C (8-9 procedures 10-15 min long each every second day) in combination with 8-9 peloid applications to the epigastric region (temperature 38-40 degrees C for 10-15 min every second day).

Studies of antimutagenic effects of vitamins A and C in humans.

We studied antimutagenic effects of vitamins A and C (in recommended daily doses for 30 days) and their effects on the kinetics of human buccal epitheliocytes. Buccal swab specimens were collected in 29 students before and after vitamin course. The cytogenetic parameters (cells with micronuclei and protrusions) and parameters of proliferation (binuclear cells and cells with double nuclei) and nucleus destruction (karyopyknosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis, etc.
