RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the drug Acatinol Memantine, 20 mg (once daily) in comparison with the drug Acatinol Memantine, 10 mg (twice daily) in patients with moderate to moderate severe vascular dementia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 130 patients aged 50-85 years of both sexes with instrumentally and clinically confirmed vascular dementia. The patients were randomized into 2 groups. Group I consisted of 65 patients receiving Akatinol Memantine, 20 mg once daily, group II - 65 patients receiving Akatinol Memantine, 10 mg twice daily for 24 weeks. Clinical, parametric and statistical research methods were used. The Alzheimer's disease assessment scale, the cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog), the short mental Status Assessment Scale (MMSE) and the general clinical impression scale for patients condition and illness severity (CGI-C and CGI-S) and the Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAM-D) were used. Adverse events were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: At week 24, both groups showed statistically significant positive change in ADAS-cog total score: in group I the total score was 27.2±8.76 points (absolute difference from baseline 3.5 points; p<0.01), and in group II - 26.1±7.86 points (absolute difference from baseline 2.5 points; p<0.01) with no statistically significant differences between groups. Evaluation of secondary efficacy criteria (change in ADAS-cog total score at week 12 and MMSE at weeks 4, 12, and 24) also revealed statistically significant benefit in both groups compared to baseline with no significant differences between groups. Statistically significant improvement was noticed on CGI-S and CGI-C scales in both groups. Akatinol Memantine was safe and well tolerated in both groups. CONCLUSION: The study showed no lesser efficacy and safety of Akatinol Memantine, 20 mg (once daily) compared to Akatinol Memantine, 10 mg (twice daily) in patients with moderate and moderately severe vascular dementia.

In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, prolongation of artrofoon therapy to 2 years led to maintenance of the positive clinical effect attained after 6-month treatment. Moreover, significant improvement was observed by some parameters (integral pain intensity, swelling index, Ritchie articular index, morning stiffness, and articular score). No side effects related to artrofoon treatment were observed throughout the treatment period in the main group. The results indicate high efficiency and good tolerability of the preparation and attest to advisability of its long-term use.

Treatment with a combination of artrofoon and anaferon significantly reduced clinical and laboratory parameters of rheumatoid inflammation and significantly decreased the content of antiinflammatory cytokines in the blood. These findings attest to antiinflammatory and immunomodulating effects of these preparations.

Kardos, a preparation containing ultralow doses of antibodies to C-terminal fragment of type 1 receptor of angiotensin II, intragastrically administered to SHR rats with hereditary hypertension for 28 days reduced blood pressure by 14.8%. Kardos was not inferior to losartan and, in contrast to the latter reduced HR by 9.4%.

Antiulcer activity of ultralow doses of antibodies to histamine was demonstrated on the model of chronic acetate-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Course therapy with the preparation accelerated healing of chronic experimental ulcer by correcting hemodynamic disturbances and stimulating mucus formation in the gastric wall.

The effect of Artrofoon on the production of proinflammatory cytokines was evaluated in experiments on mice with collagen-induced arthritis and in a clinical study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Artrofoon produced an antiinflammatory effect on animals with collagen-induced arthritis and reduced clinical signs of inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These changes were accompanied by a significant decrease in the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta.

Viral infections are at present the leading cause of morbidity in the world. The clinical trials of gamma-anaferon (pediatric formulation) in the treatment and prophylaxis of a great number of viral infections (more than 20 nosological forms) due to the RNA- and DNA-containing viruses demonstrated its efficacy and safety. Gamma-anaferon is an immunomodulator with antiviral activity containing ultralow doses of antibodies to interferon. The high efficacy of anaferon and no adverse effects allowed to consider it as the drug of choice in the treatment of various viral infections including those in children under 1 year.
