[Reflexotherapy in the context of rehabilitative medicine].

The main stages of the history of reflexotheray and its principal methodological aspects are reviewed in the context of the introduction of this approach into rehabilitative medicine. Productive results of such integration find the demonstrative reflection in the defense of 56 theses for the degree of candidate of science and 28 ones for the degree of doctor of science devoted to various aspects of reflexotherapy. The growing tendency toward the more extensive application of non-pharmacological approaches to complementary medicine opens up new prospects for the further development of reflexotherapy in the context of modern health care practices.

[Endoscopic hemostasis in patients with portal hypertension tumor genesis].

AIM OF THE STUDY: to assess the results of using endoscopic techniques to achieve hemostasis for the control of bleeding and the prevention of recurrent bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices in the patients with primary liver cancer and metastatic liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in the period of 2009-2011,7 patients with primary liver cancer or metastatic liver lesions complicated by gastro-esophageal bleeding were treated in the Sklifosovsky Clinical and Research Institute for Emergency Medicine. The sources of bleeding were esophageal varices in 6 patients, gastric varices in 1. RESULTS: a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) revealed, besides the varices, an erosive hemorrhagic gastritis in 4 patients, a ruptured mucosa of cardio-esophageal transition in 1, an erosive hemorrhagic gastritis and a liver tumour invasion in the stomach antrum in 1. The hemostasis achieved by means of paravasal injections with a 20% glucose solution was efficient in 2 of 3 patients. The endoscopic ligations of esophageal varices were performed in 3 patients. Five patients died from the underlying disease progressing. In one of them, the cause of death was a recurrent bleeding from esophageal varices. CONCLUSIONS: in the patients with primary liver cancer and metastatic liver lesions, the use of mini-invasive endoscopic techniques is more appropriate, because the surgical treatment of this patient population carries a very high risk.

[The effect of combined transcerebral magnetic and electric impulse therapy on the cerebral and central hemodynamic status of stroke patients in the early rehabilitation period]. / Vliianie sochetannoi transtserebral'noi magnitnoi i élektroimpul'snoi terapii na sostoianie mozgovoi i tsentral'noi gemodinamiki u bol'nykh s mozgovym insul'tom v rannem periode reabilitatsii.

75 clinical cases of acute impairment of cerebral circulation treated with sinusoidal modulated currents in combination with transcerebral magnetic field have been analysed. Functional and clinical findings indicate that the above combination is much more effective than magnetic field and sinusoidal modulated currents alone: 62% against 35% and 33%, respectively.

[The importance of electroencephalographic studies for evaluating the action of physical treatment methods in patients with a neuroendocrine syndrome and disordered menstrual function]. / Znachenie élektroéntsefalograficheskikh issledovanii dlia otsenki deistviia fizicheskikh metodov lecheniia bol'nykh neiroéndokrinnym sindromom s narusheniem menstrual'noi funktsii.

Electroencephalograms of 43 females (mean age 27.3 +/- 5.2 years) were examined for integral power of various EEG rhythms, delta, beta, alpha, beta 1 intervals for occipital, parietal and frontal region, right and left hemispheres. The frequency analysis was made with regard of EEG type. A particular role of the right hemisphere in development of neuroendocrine pathology is discussed.

[The use of an electrosleep method for restoring the performance capacity and relieving the psychoemotional stress of athletes in cyclic sports]. / Primenenie metoda élektrosna dlia vosstanovleniia rabotosposobnosti i sniatiia psikhoémotsional'nogo napriazheniia u sportsmenov tsiklicheskogo vida sporta.

44 boat-racing sportsmen entered the study which aimed at elucidation of electric sleep action on restoration of muscular performance and relief of psychoemotional stress. The electric sleep procedures were found to stimulate regeneration processes, improve cardiovascular function and myocardial contractility, normalise arterial and capillary tonicity, to potentiate muscular performance and aerobic power of the body.

Physiological mechanisms of the "arousal response" in animals in a state of hypobiosis.

In a state of hypobiosis in white rats it was found that the previously described [4, 6] "arousal response" is characterized by a flareup of motor activity with a definite coordinated structure of the motor acts in response to a change in the animal's posture. Repeated reproduction of this response leads to a rapid summation of the electromyographic activity and a rise in the temperature. In experiments on heterothermic animals these responses are even more pronounced and are accompanied by a restoration of the original body posture and substantial temperature rise. Such an effective process of heat formation in the bodies of heterothermic animals during the "arousal response" may be associated with the mechanism of "special" awakening under conditions of reduced activity.

Role of adrenergic structures in functional control over the cerebral circulation.

An investigation of the cerebral circulation by the thermoelectric method showed that stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve leads to considerable changes in the blood supply to the brain. The changes in blood flow are biphasic in character: An initial small increase is followed by a decrease below the original level. Pharmacological analysis with alpha and beta adreno-blockers showed that the constrictor response of the cerebral vessels is due to excitation of alpha-adrenergic structures and the dilator response to excitation of beta-adrenergic structures. A possible mechanism of these changes is postulated.

[The role of adrenergic structures in the control of cerebral circulation]. / Rol' adrenergicheskikh struktur v funktsional'nom kontrole mozgovogo krovoobrashcheniia

A study of the cerebral blood flow carried out by the thermoelectric method demonstrated that stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve led to marked changes in the cerebral blood supply. The blood flow changes were two-stage in character: an initial slight increase changed to a decrease below the initial level. Pharmacological analysis with the use of alpha- and beta-adrenoblockers showed a constrictor reaction of the cerebral vessels to be caused by excitation of the alpha-adrenoreactive structures, and the dilatator reaction - by the beta-adrenoreactive structures. An opinion is put forward on a possible mechanism of these changes.
