Characteristics of Muscle Recovery under Experimental Post-Traumatic Contracture

The frequency of traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial area and the degree of their severity, have been increasing in recent years. The introduction of modern methods of treatment made it possible to improve the results of treatment and shorten its duration. Myogenic contractures develop as a complication after facial injuries, soft tissue injuries, in particular, masticatory muscles. The gastrocnemius muscle of a rat has the same striated structure as the pterygoideus medialis muscle of a person. The purpose of the work is to study the regeneration of striatal muscles with post-traumatic contractures on the basis of combined treatment of laboratory rats. Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 45 sexually mature 12 months old outbred white male rats, which weighed 180-200 g. In animals, reflex post-traumatic muscle contractures (traumatic myositis) resulting from the slaughter of calf muscles (without violating the integrity of muscle tissue) were simulated on the posterior left leg. The rats were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 21 animals that did not receive treatment and whose wounds healed by secondary intention. Group 2 included 24 rats that received combined treatment: on the 2nd day after surgery – general (oral) administration of the drug with the active substance cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride – 0.15 mg, once a day with daily procedures of magnetic laser therapy on the affected hind limb. Results and discussion. Depending on the signs of pain behavior (changes in behavior, restriction of movement, increased sensitivity, pain), the intensity of myogenic pain syndrome was assessed (low, moderate, high, very high). It was found that the use of combined treatment (magnetic laser therapy and the use of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride) led to the normalization of behavioral and motor reactions by the 28th day: 56% of rats didn’t feel any pain and 44% had a low level of pain. The animals with the same trauma, which weren’t treated, showed a high and moderate level of pain. On the 28th day these animals could lean on their hind limbs while they were moving. However, they could not fully move due to a sharp restriction of their left hind limb function. The obtained results are the basis for the development of new approaches to improving the methods of prevention and rehabilitation treatment of contractures using magnetic laser therapy and central muscle relaxants. Conclusion. It was found that the use of magnetic laser therapy and cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride inhibited the development of an acute inflammatory reaction in the damaged muscle tissue of the hind limb of animals, accelerated and optimized reparative processes, which prevented excessive, functionally significant growth of connective tissue

MAGNETIC LASER THERAPY OF IRRITATIVE URINARY DISORDERS AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

Цель: Несмотря на четко определенные критерии отбора пациентов для лечения доброкачественная гиперплазия предстательной железы (ДГПЖ), часть больных остается неудовлетворенной результатами операции. Это вынуждает искать дополнительные методы лечения, которые могли бы войти в комплекс реабилитационных мероприятий для этой категории больных. Методы: В настоящем исследовании мы проанализировали группу пациентов из 69 больных, перенесших оперативное лечение по поводу ДГПЖ (как трансуретральную резекцию предстательной железы, так и открытую аденомэктомию), имевших в послеоперационном периоде выраженную ирритативную симптоматику. Результаты: Эффекты магнитно-лазерной терапии в зоне оперированной предстательной железы способны воздействовать на те звенья патогенеза ирритативных расстройств мочеиспускания, которые недоступны другим методам. Выводы: При правильном отборе пациентов применение магнитно-лазерной терапии на зону оперированной железы, задней уретры и мочевого пузыря позволяет достичь удовлетворяющего пациента результата операции в гораздо ранние сроки, нередко существенно сократить послеоперационной койко-день, в ряде случаев избежать длительного курса антибактериальной терапии или дорогостоящих α--адреноблокаторов. Purpose: Despite the clarity of the selection of patients for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), some of the patients are unsatisfied with the results of the operation. This forces us to look for additional methods of treatment that could be included in the complex of rehabilitation measures for this category of patients. Methods: In this study, we analyzed a group of patients from 69 patients who underwent surgical treatment for BPH (both transurethral resection of the prostate gland and open adenomectomy) who had severe irritative symptoms in the postoperative period. Results: The effects of magnetic laser therapy in the area of the operated prostate can affect those links in the pathogenesis of irritative urinary disorders that are inaccessible to other methods. Conclusions: With the correct selection of patients, the use of magnetic laser therapy on the area of the operated gland, posterior urethra and bladder allows achieving a satisfactory surgical result at a much earlier time, often significantly shortening the postoperative bed-day, in some cases avoiding a long course of antibiotic therapy or expensive α-adrenergic blockers.

Complex Application Of Magnetic Laser Therapy And Propolis Tincture For The Prevention And Treatment Of Chronic Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis

Chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis (stomatitis chronica aphtosa recidiva) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa of an infectious-allergic nature, characterized by periodic remissions and frequent exacerbations. Morphological elements on the oral mucosa are the so-called "ulcerative formations", that is, apht characterized by periodic remissions and partial exacerbations with a rash of aphtha. According to the latest publications of domestic and foreign authors, HRAS is usually considered as a polyetiological disease that plays a role in the formation and the nature of the course of the pathological process. The factor causing chronic aphthous stomatitis is staphylococcal infection, adenovirus, allergies, immune disorders, as well as diseases of organs and systems. First of all, it is a local effect aimed at reducing pain that makes it difficult to eat up to forced starvation, as well as at the speedy regeneration of the defect. Secondly, it is the regulation of the body's immunocompetent systems and a decrease in the level of bacterial allergies. In addition, the identification and treatment of background diseases with the involvement of specialists of different profiles (Lukinykh L.M., 2004; Savkina G.D., 2005; Drobotko JI.H., 2008).

The Use of magnetic-laser Therapy in the Rehabilitation period for patients with Infraorbital nerve Damage

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of magnetic-laser therapy in complex treatment of patients with zygomatic fractures accompanied by the infraorbital nerve damage. materials and methods: The study included 32 patients with single fractures of the zygomatic bone accompanied by infraorbital nerve injury. Patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n=17) and the control one (n=15). In both groups the complex treatment was used, which included: the fragment reposition operation, broad-spectrum antibiotic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, anti-edematous therapy, vitamin B complex. In the main group of patients in the postoperative period the magnetic-laser therapy was applied. Assessment of qualitative and quantitative indices of pain was carried out on the 1st, 7th and 14th days of treatment. Results: In the main group of patients the magnetic-laser therapy significantly reduced the intensity of nociceptive pain, led to moderate regression of all types of neuropathies associated with infraorbital nerve damage. When comparing 2 groups the best pain relief had patients of the main group. At the end of treatment a significant positive dynamics of improving the electrical sensory of infraorbital nerve has been noted, as indicated by recovery of sensory threshold, pain threshold and pain tolerance almost to the level of intact contralateral side. Conclusions: The use of magnetic-laser therapy in the combined treatment of infraorbital nerve damage allows to improve the recovery of infraorbital nerve sensory changes following zygomatic fractures, reduce the pain, increase the effectiveness of treatment and provide rapid postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

Application of therapeutic complex with cytoflavin pills, transcranial electrostimulation and magnetic-laser therapy in patients with vertebrobasilar insufficiency

An examination and treatment of 120 patients with circulatory failure in the vertebral-basilar basin was carried out. We studied the hemodynamic state of arterial and venous cerebral blood flow (ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, phlebography). We evaluated the dynamics of subjective and objective clinical, hemodynamic parameters before treatment and against the background of the combination therapy. The high efficiency of the influence of the treatment complex with the use of cytoflavin in tablets, transcranial electrical stimulation, magnetolaser effects on the dynamics of clinical and functional indicators, and a reduction in hospital stay in patients with circulatory failure in the WB has been shown to be highly effective.

Grounding of using treatment-and-rehabilitation complex for patients with occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy

Aim. To ground and estimate the efficiency of using nonmedicamentous methods of treatment in patients with occupational radiculopathy of lumbosacral level. Materials and methods. Sixty seven patients, diagnosed occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy, were examined; patients’ neurological status, manifestation of pain syndrome by 10-score visual analog scale and neuromuscular state by stimulation electroneuromyography data prior to and after treatment were assessed. Results. Treatment-and-rehabilitation complex included magnetic-laser therapy, acupuncture, combined with curative gymnastics. By the completion of treatment, positive dynamics regarding nearly all neurological states, including reduced manifestation of painful sensations, increased volume of active movements in the lumbar spine, decreased hyperesthesia rate and hypoesthesia intensity in the zone of injured roots, decreased occurrence of Lasegue test was observed. Dynamics of electroneuromyographic parameters was expressed by improved conduction of nerve impulses through the peripheral low extremity nerves and roots L4, L5, S1 of cerebrospinal nerves. Conclusions. Application of the offered complex provided positive effect by the end of treatment in 82.3 % of cases.
