[Age-related changes of peripheral nerve system and muscles of the limbs in healthy persons].

Our aim was to present and analyze age-related changes of peripheral nerves and muscles of limbs on a huge population of healthy persons of different ages. Persons aged from 2 months to 87 years were studied by conduction studies (EMG) during the period 2009-2016 years in Scientific Research Institute of Children's Infection. Data of those 1 121confirmed healthy was included in our study. Conduction along n. Medianus, n. Ulnaris, n. Musculocutaneus, n. Axillaris, n. Facialis, n. Tibialis, n. Peroneus et n. Femoralis was registered, with latency and amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) being analyzed. There were significant differences on latencies and amplitudes of CMAPs between different age groups. Significant lengthening of CMAP latency was registered in older age groups. We marked CMAP amplitude increase from the early childhood until adolescence and later it dropped in persons aged 55 years old and older. These changes may reflect, concerning latency, the lengthening of the peripheral nerves in the age 0-25 years, and later on age-related slowing of conduction starting from 55 years. Amplitude of CMAP may rise with the growing of muscles and drop in later life with age-related muscle atrophy and fibrous changes.

[Age-related changes of sensory peripheral nerve system in healthy subjects.]

Our aim was to present and evaluate age-related changes of peripheral nerves of limbs on a huge population of healthy subjects of different ages. In 2009-2016 subjects aged from 1months to 90 years were studied by nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV). Data of those confirmed healthy was included in our study. In total there were 372 healthy subjects. NCV for nn. Medianus et Ulnaris was registered, with NCV and amplitude of compound sensory action potential (CSAP) being analyzed. There were significant differences on both these parameters between different age groups. Since the childhood the improvement of conduction (which was reflected in rising of CSAP amplitudes and NCV quickening) was registered; from 40-50 years steady decline of both these parameters were observed in both nerves. Conduction studies of peripheral nerves may be implemented in gerontology for early detection of neurophysiology patterns reflecting physiological aging. Also our results may be implemented for accelerated aging detection.

[A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ESTIMATING THE SEVERITY OF EXPERIMENTAL TRICHINOSIS].

The authors propose a mathematical model that makes it possible to estimate the severity of experimental trichinosis from the peripheral blood values of a laboratory animal (white blood cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocyates).

Morphophysiology of endocrine glands in young hogs during postnatal ontogeny under conditions of treatment with biogenic compounds.

Combined trepel+suvar or trepel+polystim treatment of young hogs under biogeochemical conditions of the Chuvash Center ecological subregion stimulates structural and functional organization of the thymus and thyroid and adrenal glands and is therefore physiologically justified.
