[Nutraceutical correction in the complex non-drug treatment of metabolic syndrome]. / Nutritsevticheskaya korrektsiya v kompleksnom nemedikamentoznom lechenii metabolicheskogo sindroma.

The use of complex non-drug technologies at the stage of rehabilitation of metabolic syndrome (MS) includes multifactorial correction of its main manifestations: abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. A prospective randomized study on the use of low-calorie diet (LCD) and nutraceutical correction of the nutritional status of patients with MS was carried out. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a non-drug complex including LCD, physical exercises, as well as correction of the gut microbiome and hepatic protection in relation to reduction of visceral fat volume in abdominal obesity and the dynamics of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism hormones in metabolic syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 120 patients with MS were randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 received LCD, physical exercises in the gym, and physical activity like daily walking up to 3-5 km/day. Group 2 received LCD, physical exercises in the gym, physical activity like daily walking up to 3-5 km/day, as well as nutraceutical correction of increased appetite, gut probiotic composition, hepatic protection. The treatment duration was 4 weeks. Anthropometric methods in order to control the body weight, waist and hip circumferences and bioimpedansometry were used. RESULTS: As a treatment result, patients in group 1 represented a reduction in body weight, lean and active cell mass, a decrease in musculoskeletal mass and a decrease in total fluid due to extracellular fluid. A decrease in total cholesterol and blood triglyceride fraction was noted. Leptin decreased by 13.96%. Patients of the 2nd group represented a decrease in body weight, fat mass, lean mass, total fluid and extracellular fluid. There was a statistically significant increase in active cell mass, skeletal muscle mass. There was a decrease in total cholesterol, triglycerides and transaminases. Due to weight loss and fat mass reduction a decrease in leptin expression by 29.85% and decrease in blood insulin levels by 11.2% were noted. CONCLUSION: Thus, LCD accompanied by nutraceutical correction of the gut microbiota and hepatic protection can be effectively used in combination with physical training in order to reduce the fat mass without pre-sarcopenia development that was confirmed by positive dynamics of volume indices, bioimpedance measurements and reduction in leptin and insulin expression.

[The prospects for the development of regenerative physical therapy].

The review is concerned with the investigations into the influence of physiotherapeutic factors on the regeneration of the muscular, nervous, bone, and epidermal tissues; also, it analyses the publications pertaining to the influence of low-intensive physiotherapeutic modalities on the migration rate, proliferative activity, and differentiation of stem cells as well as physiological stability and viability of these cells following their transplantation. The currently available data give evidence of the possibility in principle of the combined application of physiotherapeutic factors and cellular technologies in regenerative medicine and the prospects opening for the development of the new direction of research in modern biomedicine, namely regenerative physical therapy. The importance of interdisciplinary basic and clinical investigations in this direction becomes especially evident in the light of the recent achievements and rapid progress in the development of modern regenerative medicine.
