[Influence of environmental factors on the epidemiology of tuberculosis in the Astrakhan region].

The epidemiology of tuberculosis in the Astrakhan Region depends on many causes among which environmental factors do not take last places; a significant positive correlation with which was observed in 41.5 and 52% cases in the rural areas of the Astrakhan Region and in Astrakhan, respectively. The proportion of environmental factors among the causes in noticeably higher in destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, in chronic destructive forms in particular, and in first detected bacillary patients.

Typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid by molecular biological methods.

Mutations in the rpoB, katG, inhA, oxyR/ahpC genes in rifampicin- and isoniazid-resistant M. tuberculosis strains isolated from residents of Moscow, Astrakhan', and Moldova Republic were studied by molecular biological methods (heteroduplex analysis, single strand conformational polymorphism, biochips). Twenty-five combinations of mutations were detected. Some differences in the type distribution of detected mutations were found. The use of biochips is the most perspective method for determining the type of mutation.

[The skin tuberculin sensitivity of students at the Astrakhan Medical Institute and its dynamics over the course of 36 years (1957-1993)].

More than 10,000 first-to-sixth year students have undergone the Mantoux test (MT) for 36 years. Before 1980, the tuberculin sensitivity of the students declined rapidly (as high as 3% per year), then more slowly (1%), persons with tuberculin hypersensitivity reduced in number, and the previously observed rise in the proportion of tuberculin-positive persons among the first-to-second year students becoming fourth-to-sixth year ones. Recently, the number of MT-positive students has stopped increasing, but there has been a growth in the share of persons with an indurate of MT with 2 TE in 10-20 min (from 36.1e4.0 to 51.3e4.0%) with the still permanent proportion of tuberculin-hypersensitive students and without any increase in the incidence of tuberculosis among pupils. The authors hold that this phenomenon is the first sign of poor epidemiology. In this connection, they consider that mass MT with 2 TE performed in individuals with an indurate of above 10 mm is noteworthy as this is a growth index of the specific sensitization of the population and they are to be systematically tested.

[Effect of taurine on Ca, Mg-ATPase activity in human platelets and on their aggregation].

Effect of taurine (25 mM) on calcium metabolism in human platelets was studied. Ca, Mg-ATPase activity is significantly increased upon addition of 25 mM of taurine to the incubation medium. The activation is absent or reduced in the presence of trifluoroperazine and beta-alanine and after preincubation of platelets with colchicine and verapamil. The rate of ADP (3.5 X 10(-6) M)-induced platelet aggregation is reduced by half upon taurine addition to platelet-rich plasma. The possible role of taurine in intracellular calcium translocation and the following alteration of platelet activity is suggested.

[Role of ultrasonic dopplerography in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment of patients who have sustained a stroke with decimeter-range electromagnetic waves].

The data on the high therapeutic efficiency of the local use of decimeter electromagnetic waves (DEMW) in stroke survivors are presented (a course of therapy consisted of 10-12 procedures). Doppler sonography proved to be a highly effective method of monitoring the treatment results. The technique makes it possible to ascertain some aspects of the mechanism of DEMW therapeutic action and provides the researcher with complete information on the intensity and the rate of the collateral circulation development.

[Status of cerebral circulation in patients with hemiplegia of vascular and traumatic origin treated with decimeter therapy and an alternating magnetic field].

Results of treating 181 patients for hemiparesis after a cerebral stroke or a craniocerebral injury by local exposure of the pathological focus to decimeter electromagnetic waves (DW) and alternating magnetic field (AMF) are presented. It is shown that these treatment methods improve the cerebral circulation and contribute to earlier restoration of the motor functions, especially, if used in combination with sulfide baths, therapeutic physical exercises and massage. The therapeutic effectiveness of the DW- and AMF-therapy is confirmed objectively by so informative examination methods, as rheoencephalography, ultrasonic dopplerography, and thermography.

[Diagnosis of carotid artery occlusions by means of ultrasonic dopplerography].

The method of ultrasound dopplerography (USDG) was used for the diagnosis of common and internal carotid artery occlusions on the neck. The linear velocity of the blood flow in the common, internal and supratrochlear arteries was examined. Four dopplerographic criteria were established, which permitted to detect an occlusion of the carotid arteries in 38 out of 39 cases. The coincidence of a dopplero- and angiographic diagnosis was marked in 97,4% of the observations. The technique of USDG is relatively simple and safe. Although the method cannot completely substitute angiography, it can significantly expand the diagnostic possibilities during examination of patients with cerebrovascular disorders.

[The optimization of an early rehabilitation program for cerebral stroke patients: the use of different methods of magneto- and laser therapy].

Magnetotherapy and laser therapy were used in complex and complex-combined regimens in 75 patients after cerebral ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke starting on the poststroke week 4-5. Clinico-neurologic, neurophysiological and cerebrohemodynamic findings evidence for the highest effectiveness of neurorehabilitation including complex magneto-laser therapy in hemispheric ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke of subcortical location in the absence of marked clinico-tomographic signs of dyscirculatory encephalopathy. Complex-combined magneto-laser therapy is more effective for correction of spastic dystonia. Mutual potentiation of magnetotherapy and laser therapy results in maximal development of collateral circulation and cerebral hemodynamic reserve (84% of the patients). Complex effects manifest in arteriodilating and venotonic effects. Complex magneto-laser therapy is accompanied by reduction of hyperthrombocythemia and hyperfibrinogenemia.

[The comparative efficacy of methods for the cryo-electropulse therapy of osteoarthrosis patients].

Comparative trials of two methods of cryoelectroimpulse therapy in combination with kinesitherapy and massage performed in 132 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) demonstrated that both methods relieve pain syndrome, improve peripheral circulation, condition of the neuromuscular system. Overall course effectiveness of parallel use of cryotherapy and transcutaneous electroneurostimulation (cryo-TCENS) combined with exercise and massage was found less than that of cryotherapy and sinusoidal modulated currents (cryoamplipulsetherapy). However, the effect of a single cryo-TCENS procedure was rather high. This may be explained by a labile technique which allows impact on the most painful (trigger) zones in OA patients. Thus, cryo-TCENS should be applied in short courses (maximum 6 procedures) or in single impacts in severe OA pain while cryoamplipulstherapy is more effective in courses consisting of 10-12 procedures.

[The effect of cryo- and cryoelectrotherapy on regional hemodynamics in coxarthrosis patients].

Physiotherapy (cryo-, cryoelectrotherapy or sinusoidal modulated currents) and therapeutic exercise were included in the course of rehabilitation given to 110 coxitis patients. Less pronounced reduction in microcirculation in the cooled tissue was registered in the exposure to a single cryoelectrotherapy procedure than to a single cryotherapy one, activation of the blood flow that followed was more intensive. Positive trends in the local and peripheral circulation were more evident after cryo- or cryoelectrotherapy.
