[Ocular surface viral diseases in children]. / Virusnye zabolevaniya glaznoi poverkhnosti u detei.

UNLABELLED: Over the past 15 years the number of children with inflammatory eye diseases has increased by five-six times. Data analysis of Moscow children's health clinics in 2014 showed that for 40,000 outpatients a viral infection was observed in 49,000 cases, whereas some children suffered from the viral infection twice or thrice. 344 children (0.7 percent) had the viral infection accompanied by keratoconjunctivitis. According to 2015 data, viral infection was observed in 37,957 children, including 325 outpatients (0.8 percent) with keratoconjunctivitis. AIM: To analyze clinical features and treatment options of ocular surface viral diseases in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We observed 140 children aged 2 to 13 years with ocular surface viral diseases. RESULTS: Despite the presence of corneal disorders, in 95 percent of children changes were reversible - in 1.5 months corneal opacity was not observed. Yet five percent of children, despite the intensive treatment, had bacterial complications, causing decrease in visual acuity. CONCLUSION: In case of viral infections, ophthalmologists, pediatricians and general practitioners should all be aware of ocular manifestations of these diseases. Even if adequate therapy for ocular surface viral disorders is appointed, in five percent of cases complications are possible, causing decline in visual function. Changes in vision can be a result of general disease manifestation, and only timely and proper treatment will help to relieve the symptoms of inflammation and prevent complications.The results of our observations revealed that the addition of Ophtalmoferon medication to the complex therapy of ocular surface diseases in children showed a high therapeutic efficacy and a good safety profile. This medication, in contrast to other antiviral agents, is available in the form of ready-to-use eye drops, significantly enhancing medication compliance in outpatients.

[Gas-liquid chromatographic method of studying the migration into cheese of the volatile components of coatings based on aqueous polymer dispersions]. / Issledovanie metodom gazozhidkostnoi khromatografii migratsii v syr letuchikh komponentov pokrytii na osnove vodnykh dispersii polimerov.

The Moscow Technological Institute of meat packing and dairy industries has developed in cooperation with a number of branch institutes a technology for obtaining coatings based on aqueous dispersions of BXBD-65 (a copolymer of vinyl and vinylidenchloride) but butyl rubber which posses physico-chemical properties required to ensure biochemical processes attending maturing of the cheese. Gas-liquid chromatography showed that the diffusion of the solvent remnants occurs only in the layer of the cheese in immediate contact with its coating and in amounts below the permissible concentration. At the same time, it was found that vinylchloride was absent both in the coating and in the cheese enclosed in the coating.
