Summary:

The article presents the review of literature for the period from 1987 till 2012. It has been shown that the spread of acute respiratory viral infections (ARI) and the incidence of complications is of great social and economic importance worldwide. Therefore, the identification of etiological factors and associated development of ARI is an urgent task for practical health care. It is of great importance to determine both the type of pathogen and the presence of its pathogenic factors. The etiological agent of bacterial complications of ARI becomes Moraxella catarrhalis, featuring a large set of markers of virulence. In the development of the pathological process in the respiratory tract, adhesins, a number of enzymes and toxins produced by M.catarrhalis are important. It allows to persist and multiply in the body of the patient. Dangerous strains of M.catarrhalis, resistant to (3-lactam antibiotics and characterized by multiresistance greatly reduce the effectiveness of the therapy. Lack of laboratory studies in acute inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract leads to the reduction of the etiological interpretation of these diseases, inadequate etiotropic treatment and as a consequence — the development of complications that reduces the effectiveness of therapy. In conclusion it is necessary to improve the system of microbiological diagnostics and tactics of treatment of ARI patients.

Summary:

Lipids are one of the main components of cellular membranes. Lipids make up 30-55% of the cell content depending on the types of cells. Phospholipids, sphingomyelins, cholesterol, etc. are characteristic to cellular membranes. The composition of lipids of the both sides of the membranes differs. This fact determines asymmetry of the structure of bili-pid layer. The reason for many pathologies is the changes in the properties of cellular membranes with the modification of their components. The study of structure and functioning of cellular biomembranes is essential for many researchers. The condition of membranes, their quality, their quantitative composition and modification under the influence of different factors as well as their interaction with carbohydrate and protein component are of great importance for the functioning of both membranes, cells and the body in general. Analysis and structuring of lipids and their functions in biological membranes are studied.

Summary:

The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of combination of pyrimidine and 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives — xymedon and mexidol, in comparison with kardioxane on the myocardial bioelectric activity and arterial pressure level in rats with Walker-256 carcinoma at the doxorubicin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. Material and Methods. Experiments have been carried out on 100 Wistar female rats of weight of 150-250 grams. Doxorubicin and paclitaxel were administered intraperitoneally in a dosage of 4mg/kg and 6mg/kg respectively on the 11th day of experiment. Xymedon (100mg/kg) and mexidol (50mg/kg) were administered separately and in combination with each other, starting with the 11th day of experiment for 10 days. Kardioxane was injected in the dosage of 80mg/kg 20 min before cytostatics. We estimated a myocardial bioelectric activity and arterial pressure level changes on the 11th and 22d day of the experiment. The results. Xymedon and mexidol combination has limited the development of myocardial electrical instability comparable to kardioxane action. This combination has prevented the appearance of metabolic changes of ischemic genesis in the heart more efficiently than kardioxane. Xymedon and mexidol have normalized QT interval dispersion corrected by heart rate less efficiently than kardioxane. Conclusion. The combination of xymedon and mexidol has reduced cardiotoxicity of antitumor therapy more efficiently than the separated use of these medicines or the use of cardioxane.

Summary:

Inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses (SNPs) are one of the most urgent problems of otorhinolaryngology. The number of patients with inflammatory diseases of the UNP remains high in our country and abroad, despite the development and introduction of new advanced methods of treatment. From 15to 36% of patients with sinusitis are treated in the ENT departments. Over the last two decades the SNPs diseases increased more than 10 times in Russia. Therefore the diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis is an actual problem of modern otorhinolaryngology. It is necessary to develop effective, reliable and non-invasive diagnostic methods of sinusitis.

Summary:

Objective: to evaluate the efficiency of a resorbable membrane «Bio-Gide» in combination with chitosan for guided bone regeneration during the degradation under the experimental conditions. Material and Methods. The histological methods provide the study of tissue samples from 6 adult rabbits from artificial mandible through 14, 28 and 42 days after surgery. In group 1 the treatment was carried out without the use of additional materials, by a blood clot. In group 2 closing of the damaged area was produced by xenopericardial plate «Bio-Gide» in combination with chitosan. Results. It has been established that the conduct of bone wound under a blood clot causes inflammatory response on the 14th day after the operation, to the 28th day inflammation disappears and it practically does not appear on the 42nd day. Closure of the bone defect using xenopericardial plate «Bio-Gide» with chitosan causes lesser inflammatory response. In the long-term period after the surgery inflammatory changes in the implantation can not be detected. Conclusion. Xenopericardial plate «Bio-Gide» in combination with chitosan has a positive impact on the recovery process of the bone defect. Neoplasm of bone occurs, the stage of development of cartilage is shortened. At the end of the experiment period xenopericardial plate is not detected indicating the high rate of its biodegradation.
