[Branch No. 2 of the Vishnevskiy Central Military Clinical Hospital No. 3 celebrates the 25th anniversary].

Authors present a short summary about the history of 6th Central Military Clinical Hospital (now - Branch N 2 of the Vishnevskiy Central Military Clinical hospital N3), founded in September 1989. Hospital Branch N 2 is one of the first specialized applied research centres in our country, many highly-qualified, experienced and certified professional work at the hospital; they are proficient in original and unique methods of treatment based on high technologies and capable to solve any problem, even the most difficult, connected with medical rehabilitation of patients. Hospital Branch N 2 is also known as the Centre of orthopaedic and prosthetic aid to disabled servicemen. Also patients with different diseases and suffering from boardline mental disorders, psychosomatic disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome receive complete rehabilitative therapy under "late" hospital stage.

[Development of the rehabilitation system for wounded during the late hospital stage].

The current article deals with the main methods of development of the rehabilitation system for wounded during the late hospital stage. The problems of specialized rehabilitation for injured, patients of cardiology and neurology and the application of the newest rehabilitation techniques used to optimize medical aid in order to promote professional qualities recovery experience are also considered.

[Peculiarities of mental disorders and evaluation of life quality in military personnel wounded in local military conflicts].

The goal of research is the study of the peculiarities of clinico- psychopathologic varients of development of mental disorders and life quality in military personnel, wounded in local military conflicts in conditions of multidisciplinary military hospital. 317 patients aged 19-45 with mine-explosive wounds got in the Chechen Republic and Dagestan were examined. Analysis performed in early and secondary post stress period showed the predominance of border-line psychopathologic disorders and detected some peculiarities.

[Use of biomanagement methods to combined medical rehabilitation of patients with hypertensive disease].

The biomanagement technique finds wide application in practical medicine, e.g. in rehabilitation of patients with psychosomatic pathology. Results of combined rehabilitative treatment with the use of bioacoustic psychocorrection was assessed in patients with hypertensive disease. It was shown that normalization of CNS functional state by means of bioacoustic psychocorrection improves vegetative regulation of cardiovascular activity, corrects AP, reduces its variability and the degree of nocturnal fall, decreases peripheral vascular resistance, and increases efficiency of rehabilitative treatment.

[Efficacy of vitaprost forte in patients with prostatic adenoma].

The trial of a new bioregulatory peptide vitaprost forte (100 mg rectal suppositoria) in 30 patients with prostatic adenoma demonstrated that this drug attenuates clinical symptoms of the disease, improves quality of life, uroflowmetric parameters and reduces size of the prostate. Vitaprost forte is more effective in patients with prostatic adenoma in combination with chronic prostatitis, has antiaggregant and anticoagulant properties, stimulates synthesis of antihistamine and antiserotonine antibodies, improves microcirculation in the prostate resulting in regressioin of edema, activity of inflammation in prostatic diseases.

[Increasing threshold of the epileptiform activity in the CA1 field of hippocampal slices of Krushinskii-Molodkina rats as protective adaptation mechanism]. / Povyshenie poroga razvitiia épileptiformnoi aktivnosti v pole srezov gippokampa krys linii Krushinskogo-Molodkinoi kak adaptivnyi zashchi tnyi mekhanizm.

The Krushinsky-Molodkina rat CA1 hippocampal slices revealed an increased threshold of the epileptiform activity development, a depressed signal transmission in the presynaptic glutamatergic fibres, no long-term increase in excitability of the CA1 pyramidal neurons characteristic of Wistar rats following Mg2+ removal and K+ increase. These events suggest a protective adaptive mechanism preventing propagation of seizure activity into limbic structures of the rats.

[Surgical treatment of supraventricular tachycardias in children]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie supraventrikuliarnykh takhikardii u detei.

The paper deals with the results of surgical treatment in 19 children with supraventricular tachycardias. Eighteen patients were found to have the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and one presented with ectopic right atrial tachycardia. The accessory pathways in the free wall and anterior septum in the presence of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome were eliminated on the working heart, whereas those in the posterior septum were removed during extracorporeal circulation via endocardial access. Ectopic right atrial tachycardia was arrested by arrhythmogenic area resection in the right atrium during extracorporeal circulation. A positive result of the operation was achieved in 17 of the 18 patients. At day 2 of postsurgery, one patient developed recurrent tachycardia that was eliminated during a repeated operation. Which optimal method should be chosen to remove accessory pathways is discussed in the paper.
