[The clinico-electrophysiological assessment of the efficacy of microwave resonance therapy in the rehabilitative treatment of patients with cerebral palsy in the form of spastic diplegia]. / Kliniko-élektrofiziologicheskaia otsenka éffektivnosti mikrovolnovoi rezonansnoi terapii v vostanovitel'nom lechenii bol'nykh detskim tserebral'nym paralichom v forme spasticheskoi diplegii.

As indicated by EEG and EMG data, adjuvant microwave resonance therapy included in the complex of routine aftertreatment of 24 children with spastic diplegia improved therapeutic efficacy and promoted positive trends in the patient's condition of 63% of those treated. The changes in ENMG parameters induced by microwave resonance therapy reflect shifts in the function of peripheral neuromotor system via optimisation of suprasegmental effects.

[An experimental validation of immunotherapy with purified staphylococcal anatoxin]. / Eksperimental'noe obosnovanie immunoterapii anatoksinom stafilokokkovym ochishchennym.

Inbred mice have proved to be a promising model for the evaluation of antigen-specific and antigen-nonspecific immunomodulating activity of purified staphylococcal toxoid in humans. This toxoid induces the formation of pronounced humoral response to homologous and heterologous infections in humans and mice. In animal experiments purified staphylococcal toxoid has shown its capacity for the correction of secondary immune deficiency of different origin; when introduced into humans having secondary immunodeficiency associated with bacterial infections of different etiology, the preparation reproduces this effect.

[A comparative study of the nootropic properties of piracetam and oxiracetam]. / Sravnitel'noe izuchenie nootropnykh svoistv piratsetama i oksiratsetama,

The behavioral activities of piracetam and oxiracetam were studied during the learning tests (active avoidance, passive avoidance, T-maize). The levels of the orientation reaction and emotionality of the animals were determined by the "open field" method. To achieve similar effects, injections of 10 mg/kg of oxiracetam and 100 mg/kg of piracetam intraperitoneally were required. Both nootropics facilitated the learning of the animals but failed to change their behavior in the open field. Piracetam was more effective in the active avoidance test and oxiracetam in the T-maize test. The data indicate some differences in the activities of piracetam and oxiracetam.
