ABSTRACT
This research represents MRI and EEG-investigation in children with mental disorders perinatal genesis during tDCS. In 70% cases brain structures damages don't found or were minimal. On the contrary, in 77% cases α-rhythm of EEG in parietal-occipital areas was non-regular. Functional insufficiency can as a basis of high efficiency tDCS by children. In cases with autism spectrum disorders the Subscales of Woodcock-Jonson were used for the quantitative estimation of efficiency of the course of treatment with tDCS. Positive changes after the course of tDCS were revealed in psychic state, speech comprehension, communication, practical and speech experience, fine motor skills and social integration.

The method of independent components within the range of 3-13 Hz was used for the analysis of EEG of the children with psychic abnormalities of perinatal origin. The research was undertaken while children were keeping awake with open eyes. In cases of harder developmental delay it was revealed a significant rise of θ-range power spectrum in frontal-temporal cortex areas of left hemisphere and temporal areas of right hemisphere. This fact make it possible to regard these areas as hypothetic sources of slow activity and a damage/immaturity marker of frontal-thalamic area and the temporal areas, responsible for auditory analysis and verbal synthesis, audio & visual data integration.

This research represents EEG - investigation by children with remote consequences of perinatal CNS pathology. Its described the different EEG types in normal and mental disorders in children. Its showed a early EEG - markers of abnormal ontogenesis in longitudinal study. The data obtained gives to prevent a negative dynamic of mental and speech development (learning disability, motor alalia, autism).

Efficiency of combined therapy with the use of transcranial micropolarization developed by the authors was analyzed in 30 children, aged 4-6 years, with speech delay and general mental impairment. In 60-80% of the cases, a high therapeutic effect of the new method has been achieved due to accelerated development of communicative behavior, speech and motor functions formation, increase of attention stability and improvement of perceptive and productivity processes of cognitive activity.

The authors describe the data on clinico-laboratory and instrumental examinations and surgical treatment of about 5,000 children with different reproductive organ injuries including complex patterns of abnormal sexual differentiation. The designed diagnostic programs made it possible to distribute patients into groups and according to the disease entities in conformity with the classification suggested. It is emphasized that in the developing science concerned with sex, it is necessary to distinguish an area pertaining to childhood, namely pediatric andrology, and to delineate its subject matter and tasks. Skilled assistance can be rendered by a specialized center. A broad spectrum of improved masculinizing (including the design of an artificial phallus) and feminizing (including the design of an artificial vagina from the rectosigmoid segment of the colon) is provided. The catamnestic data are evaluated.

The experience with the treatment of more than 5140 children at the age of from 2 days to 16 years, and 76 patients at the age of from 15 to 42 years with different diseases of the genital organs and disorders in the sex formation is presented. The indications for surgical treatment are defined. The results of the masculinizing operations, including the phalloplasty and testicular endoprosthesis, and the feminizing ones, including the vaginoplasty with the use of a colonic segment are presented.

The authors approbated in the clinic a new method for restoring vision in 22 patients in damage of the optic nerves caused by pathological processes in the opticochiasmic area of the brain (tumors of the hypophysis, arachnoiditis, the sequelae of trauma). The novelty of the method lies in introducing electrodes under the nerve sheath during operation performed for the main pathological process and producing direct electrostimulation (ES) of the nerves for 3-4 weeks after the operation. The authors chose the optimum parameters of therapeutic ES under control of a direct record of the bioelectrical activity of the optic nerves and ophthalmological examination of the patients. Positive therapeutic effect was obvious in three fourths of patients, in one third of whom vision was completely normalized. The results of using the new method of implantation of electrodes into the optic nerves and the probable mechanisms of the restoration of vision under the effect of their direct ES are discussed.
