[Combined revascularizing method for treating central atherosclerotic chorioretinopathy].

The authors present a new surgical method for treatment of central atherosclerotic chorioretinopathies, consisting of choroid revascularization followed by crossing of the surface temporal artery. Combined revascularizing method improved local ocular hemodynamics and the visual function in 64% patients with pseudotumorous condition and in 81% patients with the "dry" form, stabilizing the process for up to 12 months (period of observation). Morphological analysis showed that after choroid revascularization, a full-value functioning vascular network forms at the interface between the vascular membrane and implanted tissues, and therefore crossing of the surface temporal artery should be performed no earlier than 3 months after choroid revascularization.

[Ampli-pulse phoresis in patients with partial optic nerve atrophy].

A new complex method for treating partial atrophies of the optic nerve unites surgical, physiotherapeutic, and drug effects. One electrode is attached directly to the anterior segment of the optic nerve by a collagen infusion system and the other is fixed at the back of the neck. The involved optic nerve is exposed to sinusoidal modulated currents in the rectified mode, permitting direct drug electrophoresis in parallel with electric stimulation of nerve fibers. The efficiency of the method is two times higher than of standard treatment.

[Mechanisms of sensory function recovery in partial optic nerve atrophy before and after treatment with ampli-pulse phoresis].

Eighty-three patients (119 eyes) with partial optic nerve atrophy of different origin were treated by amplipulse phoresis and observed for 1 year. Based on the data of modern methods of examination of visual functions (changes in visual evoked potentials and achromatic static campimetry), the authors suggest that several mechanisms of visual function improvement underlie the therapeutic effect of amplipulse phoresis. These mechanisms are as follows: activation of the intact part of nerve fibers with restoration of myelin membranes, restoration of viability of nerve fibers in a state of parabiosis; a probable mechanism of visual acuity improvement is modification of the conduction of visual route on-channels, but this hypothesis needs further investigations.
