Purpose. To study the clinical effectiveness of the administration of complex therapy of drugs to the hemolymphocirculatory organ (pterygopalatine fossa) in edematous exophthalmos in patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy complicated by optical neuropathy. Material and methods. The analysis of the results of treatment of 31 patients (62 eyes) with edematous exophthalmos on the background of endocrine ophthalmopathy complicated by optical neuropathy, who applied for help in the Novosibirsk branch of "MNTC "Eye Microsurgery". All patients were prescribed a 10-day course of intensive complex treatment, consisting of injections into the region of hemolymphocirculation (pterygeal fossa) No. 6 (No. 3 on each side) with an interval of 24 hours of a drug mixture, the formulation of which included Lidocaine 20 mg, Dexazone 4 mg, Hemase 3000 units, Dalargin 1 mg, with additional administration of antioxidants, neuroprotectors, vitamins and keratoprotectors. Results. By the end of treatment, all patients had a pronounced positive trend in the form of a significant (from 0.6 to 1.0) increase in visual acuity, a decrease in exophthalmos (from 2,0 to 3,0 mm), and an increase in color and contrast sensitivity. Conclusions. Due to the violation of venous and lymphatic outflow due to the thickening of extraocular muscles and retrobulbar fiber, injection of drugs with a wide range of decongestant and metabolic effects into the hemolymphocirculation region (pterygeal fossa) is justified and effective. Key words: endocrine ophthalmopathy, optical neuropathy, complex therapy.

Introduction. Degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine are the most common chronic human diseases. Pronounced clinical manifestations of vertebrogenic diseases are observed during active labor activity and represent one of the most frequent causes of temporary disability. It is also known that any pain syndromes are accompanied by the development of psychovegetative disorders, which reduces the effectiveness of treatment. In recent years, there has been a reasonable increase in the interest of the medical community to the non-drug treatment methods. It is caused by the polypharmacotherapy side effects, an increased numbers of allergic reactions, problems with polypragmasia, and a low level of compliance. At the same time, the question of the possibility of various non-drug treatment methods combining is quite acute.The goal of research is to substantiate the clinical effectiveness of the combined application of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the complex treatment of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level.Materials and methods. A prospective controlled randomized study was conducted on the basis of the medical clinics of LLC «Family Health» (Kazan) and ANO «Center for SEB assistance» (Kazan) from April 2018 to May 2019. The study involved 52 people with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level, aged from 25 to 45 years. In accordance with the exclusion criteria, 7 people dropped out of the study. The remaining patients (45 people), depending on the used treatment method, were divided by a simple randomization method using a random number generator into three groups of 15 people. The first group (main group) received osteopathic correction and reflexotherapyon the background of standard drug therapy; the second and the third groups (control groups) received only osteopathic correction orreflexotherapy, respectively, on the background of standard drug therapy. The osteopathic examination was performed for all patients regardless of the group, before and after the course of therapy, with the formation of an osteopathic conclusion.Also there was the estimation of the degree of pain syndrome severity,the asthenia, and the degree of accumulated emotional and energy charge that does not get out in a person.Results. It was found in the course of the study that the inclusion of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the complex therapy of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level is clinically more effective than the isolated use of these methods. Such complex therapy allows to achieve a more significant reduction in the severity of the pain syndrome by VAS (p<0,05), relief of internal emotional tension (p<0,05), and increase the effectiveness of correction of dominant somatic dysfunction. Based on the obtained data, it could be assumed that reflexotherapy potentiates the effects of osteopathic correction.Conclusion. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the combination of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the treatment of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level increases the clinical effectiveness of the standard drug therapy. At the same time, it is worth noting the potentiating effect of the combined use of two non-medicinal methods. The question of combining of various non-drug treatment methods is quite acute today, so this study will be continued.

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH. To assess the clinical effectiveness of phlebotrophic drug Detralex (Micronized purifiedflavonoid fraction (MPFF)) during complex treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoids. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A comparative analysis of treatment outcomes of 293 patients with acute hemorrhoids was conducted. All patients were divided into two groups for further clinical observations. Standard drug therapy was performedfor 145 patients (group I). For 148 patients (group II), in addition to the standard treatment, phlebotrophic drug Detralex was additionally initiated. Research program included detection of content of acute inflammatory phase reactants and pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood plasma, evaluation of pain syndrome severity (VRS) and quality of life parameters (SF-36 questionnaire). RESULTS. Initiation of MPFF with complex treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoids was found to be contributed to faster elimination of edema and inflammation, a decrease in severity of hemorrhoids thrombosis, relief of pain syndrome and improvement in patients'quality of life, along withwell-marked regression of laboratory markers of inflammatory reaction This allows to increase the number of good outcomes of acute hemorrhoids treatment from 66,2% to 89,9%, that is by 23,7% and to reduce the number of unsatisfactory outcomes from 4,2% to 1,3%, that is by 2,9%. CONCLUSION. Inclusion of Detralex into program of acute hemorrhoids treatment contributes to a faster elimination of clinical and laboratory manifestations of the disease and allows improving the results of treatment for this category of patients.

The article presents the comparative analysis of application of terpene-containing medicine Antiran (1:3 solution) and 0.06% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution in a complex therapy of patients with chronic generalized parodontitis. According to the curative effect, these drugs are comparable with antibacterial and antiseptic agents, but they act more gently and, as a rule, do not cause side effects. Currently, as a etiotropic therapy of periodontitis, a wide range of drugs affecting the parodontal pathogenic microflora, irrational use of antibacterial agents has acquired the status of a global problem of modern medicine, since it leads to the emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms that are poorly sensitive or resistant to treatment. The medicaments were used in ultrasonic scaling and for passive ultrasonic irrigation of periodontal pockets during curettage process. The results were evaluated according to the PMA, SBI, PI indexes, an extravazation time formation and periodontal pockets depth. The first total time period of clinical observation established that inflammation process was eliminated earlier when Antiran was used. Thus our study demonstrated and substantiated the successful experience of Antiran application in periodontal practice.

Introduction. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease characterized by a constant or periodic increase in intraocular pressure, a decrease of visual fields and visual acuity, and by a special form of optic nerve atrophy with excavation in the disc area. The reflection of this slowly fl owing atrophy is a disturbance in the visual field and a complete irreversible loss of visual function. The prevalence of the disease increases with increasing age. The main methods of treatment are medical and surgical. Non-penetrating operations are recognized as the safest methods of surgical treatment of glaucoma. The most common complications of such operations include: detachment of the choroid, small anterior chamber syndrome, hyphema, cicatricial changes in the filtration cushion. Based on the analysis of literature data, it can be assumed that the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the complex therapy of patients with operated glaucoma can increase the effectiveness of therapy.The aim of the research was to study the clinical efficacy of osteopathic correction in the complex treatment of patients operated on primary open-angle glaucoma.Materials and methods. The study involved 20 patients (20 eyes) aged 70 to 75 years with developed and advanced stages of primary open-angle glaucoma, who underwent surgical treatment. The main (10 people) and control (10 people) groups were formed by simple randomization. Participants in the main group received standard medical therapy and osteopathic correction, while participants in the control group received only medical therapy. Changes in the following clinical parameters were evaluated: visual acuity, visual fi eld, intraocular pressure, thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, and severity of pain syndrome. Indicators were recorded at the beginning of the study (2 weeks after surgery) and at the end of the study (2–3 months after surgery).Results. Patients receiving osteopathic correction as part of the complex therapy after surgery of primary openangle glaucoma are characterized by a statistically significant (p<0,05) decrease in the severity of pain syndrome, an increase in the magnitude of the visual field and of the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer.Conclusion. The obtained results suggest the effectiveness of the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the complex treatment of patients with operated on primary open-angle glaucoma. It is recommended to continue the study with a larger sample size.

Objective — to increase the effectiveness of treatment of psoriasis patients with degenerative changes in the nails, by including in the complex therapy of the topical drug Onychocid® Emtrix, aimed at restoring the integrity of the nail plates. Materials and methods. 38 patients with psoriasis and various forms of onychodystrophy (OD) were examined and treated. The effectiveness of therapy was evaluated based on the results of treatment of patients who were divided into two clinical groups — the main and the comparison ones. Patients in both groups received basic therapy. In addition, patients of the main group were prescribed a combined drug Onychocid® Emtrix, which was applied on the nail plates and under the tips of damaged nails once a day for 3 – 6 months. Results and discussion. Patients with psoriasis are diagnosed with dystrophic changes of nail plates of varying severity. OD of the fingers only was detected in 14 (36.8 %) patients; toes — in 5 (13.2 %); fingers and toes at the same time — in 19 (50.0 %) patients. As a result of complex treatment, in patients of the main group there was an early (already on the 2—4th week of use of the drug Onychocid® Emtrix) improvement of the appearance of deformed nails. After the course of treatment, these patients showed a positive clinical effect, i. e. decrease in thickness, normalization of density, color and structure of nail plates. At the same time, «significant improvement» and «improvement» were noted in 34 (89.5 %), «slight improvement» — in 3 (7.9 %), «no improvement» — in 1 (2.6 %) patients. Conclusions. Treatment of psoriasis patients with dystrophic nail lesions should be complex and focused, including the restoration of the integrity of the nail plates. The inclusion in the complex therapy of patients with psoriatic OD of the combined drug Onychocid® Emtrix increases the effectiveness of treatment, in particular, helps to restore the structure, shape, integrity, thickness and color of the nail plates.
