[Microflora dynamics in purulent skin wound in rats after ozonized perftorane applications].

In 30 Wistar rats divided in 3 groups with 10 rats in each skin defects were reproduced under anaesthesia and wound surface was fixed with the help of plastic rings. The wounds were contaminated with microbe dredge consisting of St. aureus, Ps. aeruginosa and E. coli in the concentration of 10(9) cells/ml. After 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours the wound was irrigated with 10-15 ml of the following solutions: in the 1st group - commercial perftorane solution, in the 2nd group - ozonized perftorane, in the 3rd group - physiological solution. Hard medium inoculation let determine total number of growing microbe colonies. The material was taken each 3rd day. 9 experimental series were executed with the total length of experiment equal to 30 days. It was established that from 15th day of the experiment in the group with ozonized perftorane irrigations the mean number of microorganisms in the wound was reduced, granulation tissue growth and epithelization were speeded up if compared with the groups of animals irrigated with physiological solution and non-ozonized perftorane. Ozone action was connected not only with its bactericidal properties but in considerable degree with comprehensive local immunity activation.

[Application of medical ozone in endodontic practice].

We analyzed the results of comparative analysis of antimicrobial activity of ozone-oxygen mixture with various concentrations of ozone referring to strains of St. mutans, St. aureus, and also mixed cultivation from root follicle with a chronic periodontitis.

[Clinical-laboratory study of the efficacy of combined drug Cifran CT in complex therapy of inflammatory periodontal disease].

Data on clinical and microbiological study on 40 patients showed sufficient efficacy of combined preparation Cifran CT used in combined therapy of inflammatory periodontal disease.

[Assessment of the efficacy and tolerance of delayed-action nifedipine as the monotherapy or in combination with metoprolol in patients with arterial hypertension]. / Otsenka éffektivnosti i perenosimosti nifedipina prolongirovannogo deistviia v vide monoterapii i v kombinatsii s metoprololom u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertoniei.

AIM: To compare efficacy and safety of nifedipin-retard (cordaflex-retard, Egis, Hungary) used in monotherapy and in combination with metoprolol (egilok, Egis, Hungary) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 20 patients with AH stage I-II (12 males, 8 females, mean age 57.3 years, mean duration of the disease 8.6 years). Nifedipin-retard was given in a daily dose 40 mg/day (20 mg twice a day) in monotherapy and 20 mg/day in combination with metoprolol which was administered 50 mg twice a day (a daily dose 100 mg/day). The control examination consisted of a physical examination, measurement of arterial pressure (AP) by Korotkov, registration of heart rate, ECG, 24-h AP monitoring, echocardiography. RESULTS: By 24-h AP monitoring, a 4-week treatment with nifedipin-retard alone resulted in lowering of systolic arterial pressure. The combined treatment produced a more pronounced fall both in systolic and diastolic pressure. Diastolic left-ventricular function improved in combined therapy. Side effects observed in nifedipin-retard monotherapy got much more weaker when this drug combined with metoprolol. CONCLUSION: Combination of nifedipin-retard with metoprolol provides better clinical response and tolerance than monotherapy with nifedipin-retard.

[Development of atherosclerosis in alternating prolonged electrostimulation of the negative and positive hypothalamic emotiogenic zones]. / O razvitii ateroskleroza pri cheredovanii dlitel'noi élektrostimuliatsii otritsatel'nykh i polozhitel'nykh émotsiogennykh zon gipotalamusa.

Rabbits kept under conditions of free behavior were exposed to long-term electrostimulation of negative and positive emotiogenic zones of the hypothalamus by means of a special autonomous nutrition system. It is shown that long-term electrostimulation of the negative emotiogenic hypothalamic zones followed by rest causes disorders of lipid metabolism and vascular permeability and the development of atherosclerosis. The development of atherosclerosis intensifies in alternated electrostimulation of the negative and positive emotiogenic zones and rest. Electrostimulation of the positive emotiogenic hypothalamic zones does not induce atherogenic changes in the vessels. It is suggested that the atherogenic lipoproteins infiltrate into the aorta after the cessation of negative emotional stress attended by the development of positive emotional states and rest.

[Atherosclerosis in rabbits induced by prolonged electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus]. / Ateroskleroz u krolikov, indutsirovannyi dlitel'noi élektricheskoi stimuliatsiei gipotalamusa

The influence of prolonged electrical stimulation of rabbit hypothalamus on blood lipids and the development of atherosclerosis were studied. The negative emotional state observed during the electrical stimulation was accompanied by blood hyperlipemia and atherosclerosis development in 1/3 noncastrated and 2/3 castrated animals.
