[Prevalence and prognostic significance of major risk factors and some reproductive system changes in the development of atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease in women of child-bearing age].

AIM: To conduct a long-term epidemiological trial to specify prevalence and significance of risk factors (RF) of atherosclerosis (AS) and IHD related and unrelated with reproductive system in fertile women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 962 premenopausal women entered the trial. They were examined for RF of IHD and AS as well as some conditions of the reproductive system induced by oral contraceptives, replacement hormonal therapy, postmorbid period of OPH-gestosis, uterine myoma, ovarian failure. Plasma lipids were also measured. RESULTS: Most prevalent risk factors contributing to development of IHD and AS were the following: obesity (21.2%), arterial hypertension (10.3%), uterine myoma (5.61%), ovarian hypofunction including castration (4.78%), diabetes mellitus + low glucose tolerance (3.95%), gestosis in the past without residual hypertension (1.25%), smoking (1.87%), hypercholesterolemia (1.14%), inheritance (1.14%), hormonal contraception (0.98%). CONCLUSION: Between the incidence of AS and IHD and duration of the conditions studied a functional relation exists due to disorders of lipid metabolism and high arterial pressure.

[The acupuncture prevention of anomalies in labor strength in pregnant women of a risk group].

Acupuncture was carried out for 3-6 days in the course of preparation to labor of 80 pregnant women at risk of developing labor activity abnormalities. Pulmonary, renal, gastric meridians, anteromedian and auricular points were used. Acupuncture was conductive to improvement of the autonomic nervous system activity with the predominance of the cholinergic component. The course of spontaneous labor was normal and blood loss was significantly lower than in puerperae not administered acupuncture.

[A combined reflex method in the treatment of suppurative-infectious diseases in the postpartum period].

The purpose of this study was to develop an effective pathogenetically validated method for the treatment of puerperants with pyoseptic diseases, making use of reflex therapy, and clinical assessment of this method. The study has involved 190 puerperants, in 50 of them the postpartum period ran a normal course and the rest 140 developed pyoseptic complications. Case histories were analyzed, clinical and laboratory tests (blood proteins, Mancini's test for immunoglobulins, Dorofeichuk's blood plasma lysozyme test) were carried out. Vegetative regulation was studied with the use of a vegetative test kit. A method for reflex therapy of the detected disorders of the vegetative regulation associated with puerperal pyoseptic diseases has been developed, resulting in strengthening of the defense potential of the body. Clinical assessment of the method has confirmed its high efficacy.

[Rationale for using physiotherapeutic procedures adapted to the phases of menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age].

The efficacy of the routine anti-inflammatory and resolving therapy and the rehabilitation method which is based on the principle of exposing the patients to physical factors with due regard to the specific features of menstrual cyclic processes in the female body was studied in 170 patients with chronic non-specific salpingo-oophoritis during their steady-state remission. The efficiency was checked up by using general clinical, instrumental, and laboratory tools and examining viscerocutaneous and vegetative reflexes. It was concluded that it was impossible to achieve a full restoration of specific functions in the patients without normalizing the cyclic changes in homeostasis, autonomically endocrine regulation which should be the major matter of a physician's therapeutic efforts.
