[The immunological and hormonal effects of combined exposure to a bitemporal ultrahigh-frequency electrical field and to decimeter waves at different sites].

Bitemporal UHF electric field is shown to enhance glucocorticoid adrenal function unlike inhibition of the thyroid function suppressing a primary immune response (PIR) in the productive phase. The combined exposure to bitemporal UHF electric field and decimeter waves of the adrenals doubles glucocorticoid synthesis abolishing the inhibitory action of the UHF therapy on thyroid function resultant in much more suppressed PIR. Both modalities inhibit thymic production. Decimeter waves alone are less effective. The exposure of the thyroid to decimeter waves initiated PIR by 2.5-fold activation of medullar lymphocytes and by a 80% increase in the thymic function. No response was achieved in combined action on the thyroid of the electric field and decimeter waves.

[The combined action of an ultrahigh-frequency electrical field bitemporally and decimeter waves on the thymus area in the combined therapy of rheumatoid arthritis patients].

The thymus of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients was exposed to combined action of bitemporal UHF electric field and decimeter waves to study immunomodulating effect of the combination. Biochemical, immunological and endocrinological findings during the patients follow-up gave evidence for conclusion on activation of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-thymic axis. A response was achieved in RA seronegative variant with concomitant synovitis. This may be due to genetic factors.

[The functional changes in the hypothalamus under the influence of an ultrahigh-frequency electrical field].

The experimental study was performed to clarify the advance of the biological effect of UHF bitemporal therapy. Realization of the effect proceeds at the expense of alterations in the patency of neuromediator and endogenic opioid systems of the brain. In addition, the study covered modulations of peripheral endocrine glands by hypophysis, glucocorticoids and catecholamines by the adrenals, proliferation of the lymphoid tissue, functional activity of humoral immunity.

[Influence of combined rehabilitation treatment including novel non-pharmacological technologies on immune system of patients with seronegetive spondylarthritis].

The immune system was studied in 90 patients with seronegative spondylarthritis (SNSA). Of them, 60 patients had ankylosing spondylarthritis (30 patients with central and 30 patients with peripheral forms) and 30 patients with reactive arthritis. SNSA patients were found to have secondary immunodeficiency. Cellular immunity was characterized by a decreased count of T mu (helper cells), an increased count of T gamma (cytotoxic/suppressors) and suppressed functional activity of lymphocytes, humoral immunity--by a high concentration of circulating immune complexes in an increased concentration of serum immunoglobulins. Integral assessment of the changes in the immune system and clinical data in SNSA patients leads to the conclusion that water radon baths and decimetric wave therapy reach the highest efficacy in ankylosing spondylarthritis while water radon baths and low frequency ultrasound--in reactive arthritis, a complex of water radon baths and ultraphonophoresis of hydrocortisone--in ankylosing spondylarthritis and reactive arthritis.

[The immunomodulating effect of microwaves and of an ultrahigh-frequency electrical field in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus].

Bitemporal exposure of the adrenals to UHF electric field and decimeter waves was studied as a component of combined therapy for stage I-II chronic SLE. The best therapeutic response was achieved at bitemporal employment of UHF electric field directed to the system hypothalamus-hypophysis. This may be due to enhanced glucocorticoid activity of the adrenals and immunomodulating effect: a rise in the T-lymphocytes number, humoral immunity suppression. Antiinflammatory action was seen from a positive trend in clinical symptoms. Less therapeutic response to the direct stimulation of the adrenals with decimeter waves stems from the deficient function of the latter consequent to long-term corticosteroid therapy.

[The immune and hormonal effects of the local action of microwaves of different intensities].

The trend in immune and hormonal parameters in thyroid, adrenal and transcerebral exposure to microwaves with intensity of 120, 240 and 480 mW/cm2 was studied in rabbits. The thyroid exposure to 120 and 240 mW/cm2 microwaves lead to immunostimulation, while adrenal and transcerebral one induced immunosuppression. The exposure to 240 mW/cm2 and 480 mW/cm2 microwaves resulted in damage to the tissues in 56 and 100% of the animals, respectively. The latter irradiation appeared lethal for 25% of the rabbits. 120 mW/cm2 MV proved safe as there were no signs of edema and necrosis seen with more intensive microwaves. The authors suggest to employ microwaves of 120 mW/cm2 intensity for endocrine glands irradiation to produce an immunomodulating effect.

[The dynamics of the immunobiological effects in transcerebral microwave exposures].

The trend in immunobiological responses to transcerebral action of decimeter microwaves was studied in intact rabbits. Transcerebral microwaves (120 mW/cm2) can alter functional activity of certain links of endocrine system due to possible activation of hypothalamus and hypophysis exposed to microwave electromagnetic field. Such exposure given in courses at early stages leads to an increase in the number of antibody-forming cells in the spleen, whereas total number of splenocytes is on the decrease.
