Basic therapy of fluticasone propionate (100 mcg/day) for children 3-6 years old with mild to moderate persistent asthma can control symptoms for a long time and maintain a low airway resistance during the treatment period. Montelukast step down therapy is less effective than fluticasone propionate in 50 % of patients, but more effective than sodium chromoglycate therapy

A tendency to increase anti-inflammatory (complete Freund's adjuvant induced arthritis model in rats) and analgesic (acetic acid writhing test in mice) activity of prednizolone when administered in its release-active form (bipathic administration) was revealed in an experimental study.

A lesion of cerebral blood flow in rats caused an irreversible one-stage bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries; preventive administration of a new derivative of glutamic acid (glutaron, RGPU-135) at a dose of 26 mg/kg exerted neuroprotective effects, as reflected in the decrease in the number of deaths of animals and a reduction in the their degree of neurological deficiency as compared with animals treated with saline.

A retrospective cohort study of 598 medical records of patients who underwent surgical treatment of cardiovascular disease was carried out. The study group included patients (n = 457), whose surgery was performed in the period 2011-2012, that is the period of the program of health modernization, the control group (n = 141) included patients operated in 2010. The study found a significant reduction in the risk of early postoperative complications and timing of medical rehabilitation in the study group.

Ultrasound signs of blunt injury of abdominal and retroperitoneal organs were presented. The accuracy of ultrasound examinations in trauma patients was evaluated. The important role of ultrasound in diagnostics and choice of management in patients with blunt abdominal and retroperitoneal injuries was shown.

It was determined that nonresistant rats in comparison with resistant animals had a greater area of acid-induced, stress-induced and acid-induced gastric ulcer in condition of acute stress on the background of a lesser cell number of the stomach mucous membrane expressing eNOS and practically the same concentration of magnesium in red blood cells. Only in acute stress a more significant loss of magnesium by red blood cells in nonresistant animals in relation to resistant rats was revealed.

Tolerant intraocular pressure in 1310 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (1638 eyes) was studied. A relationship between factors affecting tolerant pressure, and target intraocular pressure was revealed. The effectiveness of medicamentous, laser and surgical treatment approaches was brought to analysis. It was found that a decrease of elevated IOP to the level of target one in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma in 94 % of cases was accompanied by stabilization of visual functions within follow-up period of 2-7 years.

The issue of environmentally determined diseases is of enormous importance, especially in industrially developed countries. In the present article we researched the effect of chronic hydrosulphuric intoxication and bad habits on the apoptosis process.

The syndrome of the vegetative dysfunction is often seen in patients with chronic prostatitis manifested by a decrease in basic indicators of heart rhythm variability. This indicates a predominance of sympathetic effect on the heart rhythm when the protective vagus control of cardiac activity is diminished.

The article analyzes the mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in the Volgograd region in 2011. The dynamics of the dead in the hospital and at home are discussed.

It was established experimentally that the bischofite glycyrrhizinic acid ophthalmological sprey has a more pronounced inflammatory activity than eye drops «Lacrisifi» in a model of histamine edema of the dorsal paw in rats.

An analysis of chronic disease among former athletes is carried out depending on their age. An authentically great frequency of occurrence of chronic disease is revealed among former athletes in early post-sport period between the ages of 28-35, compared with those aged 20-27 who ceased regular training and competition loads.

This study investigates the mode of eating behavior, its psychological and hygienic aspects, in teleut population residing in Kuzbass region. Emotiogenous eating behavior disorders in teleuts were found to account for 20,1 % of cases, and external disorders were detected in 11,3 % of cases. There has been a strong evidence of an increased rate of anxiety and depression disorders related to emotional type of behavior, 9,8 and 10,6 %, respectively. The dietary habits of Kuzbass teleuts are characterized by consumption of relatively small amounts of meat, milk and fish products, vegetables and fruits, but an excessive intake of potato, bakery and macaroni foods. A greater consumption of meat and milk foods, confectionary and fruits is considered to provide adequate nutritional regimens. We have elaborated treatment-and-rehabilitation programs with consideration to the identified substantial changes in diet composition and eating behavior, as well as psychological specifications of teleuts. Dietary guidelines have also been recommended that can help them to optimize their dietary habits and provide better health-related behaviors.

The possibility of a universal biofeedback algorithm effectiveness was evaluated. It was established that a variable rate of deviation from baseline characteristic allows a standardization evaluation of the biofeedback effectiveness. The most reasonable statistical estimate of the severity of deviations is a system taking into account mean values and standard deviation (variability) controlled rate before training with biofeedback. The development of respiratory control skills permits an effective modification of adjustable parameters in training with biofeedback.

Different extraction methods were analyzed. Extraction with ethanol gradual alternation was chosen as more optimal. A technique of quantifying the flavonoids equivalent to luteolin in Inula britannica herb was suggested. It allows a determination of the flavonoid quantitative order in the presence of other compounds; it does not require any expensive equipment, and it is simple in use. The flavonoid content in Inula britannica herb, which grows in the Volgograd region, was (0,94 ± 0,003) %. Validation proved that the proposed technique can be used for quality control of studied herbal raw material.
