Cytokines and monoamines in pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
The article presents the results of research of cytokines (α- and ß-interferons and tumor necrosis factor-а) and monoamines (adrenalin, noradrenalin, dopamin, serotonin) in blood and cerebrospinal fluid in 151 patients with multiple sclerosis. The correlation between immune, biochemical changes and clinical activity and course of disease were revealed. The immunocorrection with α-interferon is recommended.
Clinico-mr-tomographic characteristics of different kinds of chronic vascular multiple brain lesions
Abstract
21 patient with different clinical patterns of non-insult course of developing vascular brain disturbance were included into investigation. Standard neurological examination was fol lowed by MR-tomography. Different degress of intellectualmnestic disorders and various locomotor disturbances correspond to the depicted in tomograms multiple brain lesions with cortical and subcortical foci. Comparison of clinical and MRT-data didn’t reveal in full measure correlations between them.
Peculiarities of treatment and rehabilitation of epileptics at the initial stage of disease
Abstract
On clinical material of 375 patients (200 — test group, 75 — control group, in 100 cases — paroxysmally nonepileptic diseases) peculiarities of treatment and rehabilitation of epileptics at the initial stage of the disease are studied. It is found, that the initial stages of the disease are characterized by: 1) hyperdiagnostics of epilepsy; 2) young age of patients; 3) monomorphism of seizures; 4) absence of ECG-changes; 5) high treatment efficiency; 6) retaining of adaptation to work.
Present-day methods of therapy of different types of modification of personality in epileptics
Abstract
The question of optimization of differentiated therapy of revealed psychic defect is discussed on clinical material of 129 epileptics with modification of personality. New systematization of modification of personality is given and the conclusion that treatment of such patients must necessarily be complex, including a number of psychoactive drugs, is justified.
Vegetative regulation in women in the third trimester of physiological pregnancy according to mathematical analysis of cardial rythm data
Abstract
A study on vegetative homeostasis in healthy pregnant women at the term of 30 — 40 weeks was held by the method of cardiointervalography. Availability of two types of vegetative response was found, which are likely variants of standard response. A conclusion was made, that processes of adaptation in physiologic pregnancy are accounted by the growth of the tonicity of sympato-adrenalic link, degree of activation of which depends on initial level of functioning of regulating systems.
Detecting a patent foramen ovale by transcranial doppler sonography (tcd)
Abstract
In patients with cerebral ischemia of unknown origin, paradoxical embolism must be considered as one of the possible causes, if there is an abnormal right-to- left shunt. The most likely site of transmission is a persisting patent foramen ovale (PFO), which is found in approximately 30% of adult persons in autopsy studies. Using transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) and an agitated saline solution as an inexpensive and readily available contrast medium, probably all clinically important right-to-left shunts can be detected. In our department we examined 215 patients within the last 5 years, 30% of which had an abnormal right-to-left shunt with insignificant difference between 10 and 69 years of age.

Clinical experience with the use of dalargin in the initial forms of vascular diseases of the brain
Abstract
Dalargin is the first domestic synthetic analogue of leyenkephalin. It has a wide spectrum of biological activity: accelerates physiological and reparative regeneration (Timoshin S.S., Shvets S.I., 1988), has an immunomodulatory effect, has anti-stress activity (Dishmanov Yu.B., Lasunov T.V., 1985) The direct regulatory effect of dalargin on the neurons of the cardiovascular center of the medulla oblongata was established.
