[Effectiveness of sub-Tenon's capsule implantation of collage sponge in the treatment of glaucomatous atrophy of the optic nerve]. / Effektivnost' substenonovoi implantatsii kollagenovoi gubki pri lechenii glaukomatoznoi atrofii zritel'nogo nerva.

The surgery of "subtenon implantation of collagen sponge" is offered; its essence is in implanting a fragment of hemostatic collagen sponge for the purpose of revasculizing and improving the trophism of the retina and optic nerve. A total of 96 patients (105 eyes) with glaucomatous atrophy of the optic nerve were operated on. The reliable results of visometry as well as of kinetic and static perimetry and of rheography were obtained. The efficiency of the surgery (without any additional conservative therapy) ranged from 63.4 to 78.6% according to various examination methods. The visual functions improved within 6 to 12 months after surgery.

[Comparison of clinical efficacy of trental various routes administration in hypoxic states of eye posterior segment]. / Sravnenie klinicheskoi éffektivnosti razlichnykh putei vvedeniia trentala pri gipoksicheskikh sostoianii zadnego otrezka glaza.

Ninety-four patients with acute and chronic diseases of the posterior segment of the eye (optic nerve atrophy, central chorioretinal dystrophy, ischemic neuropathy, circulatory disorders in the central retinal artery and its branches) were examined. Clinical efficacy of various routes of administration of trental (intravenous, parabulbar, and by subtenon implantation of a collagen infusion system--SICIS) was evaluated in patients with ischemic states of the posterior segment of the eye. The most pronounced improvement of visual acuity was observed after administration through collagen infusion system. In acute and chronic hypoxic diseases of the posterior segment of the eye the time course of the rheographic coefficient was virtually the same after intravenous and parabulbar administration, while after SICIS the rheographic coefficient was significantly higher. Therefore, SICIS is the most effective method for trental administration in patients with acute and chronic diseases of the posterior segment of the eye; parabulbar administration ranks second in efficiency. This recommends SICIS as the most effective method for trental administration.

[Study of fine structure changes in the human constant electrical field in a series of eye diseases]. / Issledovanie izmenenii tonkoi struktury postoiannogo élektricheskogo polia cheloveka pri riade zabolevanii organov zreniia.

Using external non-polarized electrodes Ag/AgCl the potential difference was measured between four measure points and a referent point, situated on the skin of humans with normal sight function and of ones suffering from cataracta, glaucoma and toxic neurite. Three points, situated on the face skin and a point at the corner of the nail couch of the forefingers of both hands were used as the measure points. The referent point was always situated on the neck in the place of the crossing of the cowl muscle and clavicle-nipple one. The investigation has shown that the potential difference between all the measured points and the referent point varies for all the diseases, mentioned above, and hence, the fine structure of the electric field changes in a different way at all these diseases. Thus, a regulator of life processes the constant electric field of the organism-searches all the pathologic changes and gives broad possibilities for the diagnostics of both the whole organism state and a particular organ one.
