Kotovsky A.V., Gerasimenko M.Y., Strukov V.I.

Abstract

Background. Due to the need to develop a complex therapy for children and adolescents with functional heart disorders, rhythm disorders against the background of the restructuring of the autonomic regulation of heart activity, a very important section is to study the possibility of using laser therapy in the correction of left ventricular (LV) systolic function disorders in patients. One of these methods is laser therapy. The research hypothesis suggests that using laser stimulation of active points, it is possible to restore the synchronicity of contractile activity of the contralateral segments of the LV myocardium.

Aims: To study the effect of laser correction on the functional state of the LV myocardium in children and adolescents and the vegetative status, which leads to the formation of functional changes in the heart in children and adolescents, necessary for the development of complex therapy for systolic dysfunction.

Material and methods. The study involved 60 children and adolescents aged 12–16 years. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n = 30) – children aged 12–14 years; 15 girls and 15 boys. Group 2 (n = 30) — teenagers 14–16 years old. The sample also includes 15 girls and 15 boys. Evaluation of contractile activity disorders was performed with ECHO-KG in the parasternal position along the long axis. The thickness of the interventricular septum (LVM) and the posterior wall of the left ventricle (LVL) in systole and diastole was evaluated. Assessment of the vegetative status was performed by cardiointervalography in the study of daily ECG recording. Treatment was performed by laser correction according to the standard method: 10 daily sessions with laser stimulation of trigger zones in the shoulder and forearm – extraceptive (1000 Hz, 2 min) and proprioceptive (50 Hz, 2 min), as well as in the direct projection of the heart (5 Hz, 2 min). Аctivation рoints: 4th intercostal space at the left edge of the sternum (5 Hz, 5 min), carotid sinus (left carotid artery pulsation zone — 50 Hz, 2 min), to the left of the spine at the level of the left corner of the scapula (5 Hz, 2 min). After laser therapy, repeated ECHO-cardiography was performed to assess the dynamics of LV systolic function in children and adolescents.

Results. Of the 60 children examined, 24% of children aged 12 to 14 years had symmetrical thickening of the myocardium of the LV and LVL, compared to 67% in the group aged 15 to 16 years. In the group from 12 to 14 years, 43% of children had asynchronous systolic dysfunction of the anterior-septal type. The remaining children (33%) had asynchronous posterobasal systolic dysfunction. In the group of children aged 14 to 16 years, asynchronous systolic dysfunction in the anterior-septal type was detected in 23%, and in the posterior-basal type — in 1%. According to the results of cardiointervalography, hypersympathicotonia was detected in 72% of children aged 14–16 years. Mixed type of vegetative dystonia was observed in 25% of cases in this age group. Hyperparasympathicotonia was detected in 3% of the examined patients. In children aged 12–14 years, a mixed type of hyperactivity was detected in 79% of cases. Hyperparasympathicotonia was observed in 15% of the examined patients, against 6% of patients with hypersympathicotonia. All children identified moderate stress tension autonomic regulation, and baroreflexes regulation was not violated. After laser therapy using a standardized method, the following results were obtained: in the group of children aged 12–14 years, symmetrical thickening of the contralateral segments of the myocardium was detected in 72% of children. In children aged 15–16, resynchronization was achieved in 85% of patients.

Conclusions. Laser therapy in children and adolescents with functional disorders of the contractile activity of the LV myocardium in the group of children 12–14 years old led to resynchronization of contraction of contralateral segments and a change in autonomic reactivity mainly to parasympathicotonic.

Modern approach to neurorehabilitation of children with hiv-encephalopathy

Saidkhodjaeva S.N., Madjidova Y.N., Yuldashev К.H.

Abstract

Background. Currently, there is no standardized and evidence-based medicine specific therapy for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various neurorehabilitation programs, including the use of memantine hydrochloride and the virtual reality feedback method (NIRVANA) in children with HIV encephalopathy (HIVE) in the aspect of neurocognitive status.

Material and methods. The study included 260 children with HIV-positive status and receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (НAART) according to an individually selected scheme for at least 6 months. All the children included in the study showed signs of HIVE. After the initial examination, all patients were divided into 4 groups: only НAART, НAART + memantine, НAART + NIRVANA and НAART + memantine + NIRVANA. The follow-up period was 3 months. The neurological study included a standard neurological examination, as well as various psychometric scales and questionnaires.

Results. In the groups of active neurorehabilitation, there were significant positive changes in the neurocognitive status: the score of all components of neurocognitive disorders decreased in all three groups with comparable relative dynamics. As a result, by the end of the 3rd month of follow-up in children taking memantine (НAART group + M and НAART + M + H) achieved a significantly lower IQ score compared to children who were only on НAART (p <0.001 for both comparisons). Also in children who received complex neurorehabilitation (НAART + M + H) by the end of the 3rd month of observation, a significantly lower integral score of neurocognitive status assessment was achieved compared to children of the НAART group (p <0.05).

Conclusion. Thus, in the course of this study, it was found that children with HIVE, despite the ongoing НAART, have a tendency to progress HIVE. Children with HIV-associated dementia are most susceptible to progression. The use of active neurorehabilitation, especially a combination of memantine and virtual reality techniques, can significantly improve the indicators of neurocognitive status.

Application of combined enzyme therapy for complications of lip contouring in cosmetology

Aksenenko I.P.

Abstract

Purpose: to study the effectiveness of a combined method that includes a course of magnetolaserophoresis of longidase and diadinamophoresis of collalizin 1000 KE (collagenase units) in correcting complications of lip contouring that occurred when a large volume of filler or surface injection of a drug based on stabilized hyaluronic acid into the skin.

Material and methods. We observed 31 women aged 25 to 32 years with complications after the introduction of a filler based on stabilized hyaluronic acid with localization in the lip area. Were allocated to three groups who received a course of magnetolaserotherapy of longidaza, the rate of diadynamophoresis of collalizin, or a combination.

Results. The use of a combined course of longidase magnetolaserophoresis with collazine diadinamophoresis has a significant clinical effect, reducing edema, gel contouring phenomena and stabilizing the psychoemotional state of patients. In addition, the treatment complex significantly accelerates the biodegradation of the filler and has a restructuring effect on the lip tissue, gives a pronounced effect of reducing the thickness of the dermis and increasing the density coefficient of the dermis, which is probably due to a decrease in intra-dermal edema that occurs as a reaction to a surface-injected filler.

Conclusions. Combined use of magnetolaserotherapy of longidaza and diadynamophoresis of collalizin to the lip when complications in the form of a surface of introduction of the filler or injecting too much of the drug based on stabilized hyaluronic acid is a highly effective method of treatment, which is confirmed by relief of clinical symptoms and improvement in quality of life of patients.

Abstract

Background. Due to the insufficient effectiveness of currently known methods of treating patients with atopic dermatitis (ATD), there is a need to find new approaches to solve this problem.

Aims: The study was conducted in order to study the possibility of improving the effectiveness of basic therapy for patients with ATD using combined phototherapy (FT) of narrow-band medium-wave and wide-band long-wave ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Materials and methods. In a group of 62 patients (average age 24.1 ± 6.1 years), a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of ATD basic drug therapy (BT) and complex treatment using combined FT of narrow-band medium-wave (311 nm) and wide-band long-wave radiation in the range of 320–400 nm was performed.

Results. When using BT and combined FT (CFT) together, there is a potentiation of the clinical effects of the used therapeutic methods. The reduction in the relative risk of the disease recurrence in the СFT + BT group (compared to the BT group) during the year of follow-up was 42%.

Conclusion. The developed method of treatment using combined phototherapy provides a more effective reduction in the severity of skin manifestations of ATD according to the SCORAD index by 34.2% and an improvement in the quality of life by 43.5%, as well as a reduction in the relative risk of the disease recurrence by 42% compared to the results of basic drug therapy.

Physical methods of post-acne scar correction: scientometric alysis of evidence-based research (literature review)

Kurganskaya I.G., Kovlen D.V.

Abstract

Background. The arsenal of physical methods for correcting pathological skin scars is quickly replenished, but the results of their use are often unsatisfactory. An inadequate approach to therapy, without taking into account the evaluation of their effectiveness, leads to relapses and increased growth of scar tissue or the absence of a clinically significant effect of many of them and requires strict scientific evidence in the course of benign scientific studies.

Aims: Comprehensive (qualitative, quantitative, structural) analysis of evidence-based research in electronic evidence-based research databases (PEDro, PubMed, e-Library) and systematic review databases (Cochrane Library) for the period from 2000 to 2020.

The clinical effects and suggested mechanisms of action of currently proven therapeutic physical factors in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease are considered in detail. The most studied of the physical methods with proven effects are high-intensity laser technologies of high-intensity laser therapy (47%), fractional radiofrequency therapy (14%), microneedling (9%) and microdermabrasion (8%), which cause the most pronounced remodeling of the extracellular matrix of the skin in the area of scars.

Conclusion. It is necessary to regularly generalize and analyze existing evidence-based studies, as well as perform new high-quality randomized controlled clinical trials to study the impact of physical correction methods on post-acne scars, which serve as the basis for developing clinical recommendations.
