[Comparative assessment of the phytoncidity of woody plants in the selection of species for landscaping: the possibility of use in sanatorium-and-spa practice]. / Sravnitel'naya otsenka fitontsidnosti drevesnykh rastenii pri podbore vidov dlya ozeleneniya: vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniya v sanatorno-kurortnoi praktike.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY: Is a comparative assessment of the phytoncidity of woody plants of different botanical families and genera and the selection of taxa with a pronounced, long-term, and universal antimicrobial effect for use in greening and landscape construction in sanatorium-resort practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The objects of research were 167 species, hybrids, and intraspecific forms of woody plants from 25 botanical families and 16 genera. Evaluation of phytoncidity was carried out using the method of treating streak inoculation of microbial test cultures with volatile emissions of leaves; gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 25923), gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and yeast-like fungi Candida albicans (ATCC 10231). RESULTS: It was established that woody plants of different taxonomic affiliations differ in the degree of antimicrobial activity, most of the studied taxa are characterized by seasonal variation of the studied trait. It was revealed that 102 (61.1%) of the species, form and hybrid are distinguished by pronounced activity to yeast-like fungi C. albicans, 64 (38.3%) - to E. coli and 33 (19.7%) - to bacteria St. epidermidis. The highest antimicrobial activity was recorded in representatives of the genera Salix, Populus, Amelanchier, Prinsepia, Prunus, Rosa, Spiraea, Picea, Pinus, Thuja, Juniperus, Caragana, Acer, Syringa. CONCLUSION: Based on the data obtained, 54 species, a hybrids, and a forms with a pronounced antimicrobial effect were identified, 21 with a long-lasting and 5 with a universal effect. The results can be used for landscaping resort and health areas in the Siberian region.

[The First Russian Consensus on the Multilevel Abobotulinumtoxin A Injections in Spastic Forms of Cerebral Palsy]. / Pervyi Rossiiskii konsensus po primeneniyu mnogourovnevykh in''ektsii abobotulinumtoxin A pri lechenii spasticheskikh form detskogo tserebral'nogo paralicha.

Spasticity treatment is one of the key aspects of the contemporary cerebral palsy (CP) rehabilitation that influences on the effectiveness of other methods. The paper presents the first Russian document that unites the recommendations for the BTA treatment of CP and could be used as the guideline for the multilevel injections. The Russian consensus on the multilevel botulinum toxin A (BTA) treatment of spastic CP is based on the international data and the results of national studies. The authors describe typical CP spasticity patterns in the upper and lower extremities, give recommended intervals for the BTA (Abobotulinum toxin A) dosages for the whole injection procedure and for the separate muscles. The method of dosage calculation for functional segments is also described. Attention is paid to the frequency, optimal intervals between the repeated injections and the whole duration of BTA treatment. The authors discuss effectiveness and safety of BTA, factors that potentially influence the results of the injections, including ultrasound and electromyography control, and indications for the continuation and termination of treatment.

[Repetitive botulinum toxine injections in children with cerebral palsy: causes of parents' decline and the ways to resolve].

The refuse of the parents of the child with spastic cerebral palsy to use botulinum toxine as a part of multidisciplinary prolonged treatment can be destructive for the achievement of the goals of the rehabilitation. 65 parents of children with CP were assessed to clarify the substituted causes for rejection. Answers, caused by real adverse effects of the medication were rarest. Most of the parents were afraid of the reactions, which are the part of pharmaceutical effect. Psychological background and the opinion of the other persons are the most difficult causes to be resolved.
