Aim. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of autonomic regulation and autonomic support in focal frontal and temporal lobe epilepsy. Materials and Methods. Thirty-six individuals were examined (19 men and 17 women; mean age 33.71.4 years) in the control group (without history of epileptic seizures) and 68 patients (32 men and 36 women, 34.11.5 years) with focal epilepsy (36 patients with frontal lobe epilepsy, of which 32 had temporal lobe epilepsy). Physiological parameters of heart rate variability and of skin sympathetic evoked potentials were evaluated. Results. Predomination of sympathetic influences in both groups of patients was found. According to the analysis of skin sympathetic evoked potentials, a high activity of the suprasegmental autonomic centers was determined in patients with epilepsy. Based on the results of the correlation analysis, the initial state in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy was characterized by greater intrasystemic tension that reflects the high level of physiological costs. The logit regression analysis model makes it possible to distribute patients with focal epilepsy into groups with different disease courses on the basis of the parameters of the autonomic support of the activity. Conclusion. In patients with focal epilepsy, predomination of sympathetic influences was observed, as well as greater activity of the suprasegmental centers of the autonomic regulation. Intrasystemic ratios of autonomic regulation parameters demonstrate an increase in the intrasystemic tension and a limitation of functional reserves in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. A complex of parameters of autonomic support allows, based on the logit regression analysis, to distribute patients into groups with different courses of focal epilepsy.

Annotation. The aim – to find out the features of autonomic support and exercise tolerance of the cardiovascular system in children with chronic non-infectious diseases, in the future will be able to improve the results of diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients, as well as differentially regulate the mode of the exercise regime for patients. The study included 58 children aged 10-17 years, with cardiac and endocrine pathology: group 1 – 23 children with endocrine pathology (type 1 diabetes mellitus), group 2 – 23 children with cardiac pathology (AH stages I-II). The study included clinical examinations, anthropometry, a questionnaire of physical activity by MAOFA, ECG, ultrasound examination of the heart and Rufier's test were performed. Assessment of the state of the autonomic nervous system was carried out using the Kerdo index and COT. Statistical analysis was performed using s/n program SPSS 17 4a 180844250981. It was found that there is a tendency to outstrip the normative values and increased body weight indicators in the examined children with chronic pathology of the endocrine and cardiovascular systems. According to the Rufier test, it was found that in the group of children with diabetes mellitus, 69.5±9.6% of the examined had low results. Among children with hypertension, 30.7±10.4% of the test indicators were regarded as weak, and in 26.9±5.8% – unsatisfactory. The results of Rufier's test were significantly lower in children with endocrine pathology, both in comparison with the group of children with cardiac pathology (p<0.05) and with the control group (p≤0.001). In 70.0±15.3% of cases, weak and unsatisfactory indicators of the Ruffier test were observed against the background of hyperdiastolic autonomic support. In physically nonactive adolescents, asympathicotonic and hyperdiastolic types of COT were observed. Thus, almost 70% of children with diabetes mellitus and 57% of children with arterial hypertension have reduced exercise tolerance. This is associated with hyperdiastolic autonomic support. Physical activity has a positive effect on the state of the autonomic nervous system in children with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
