Background. The results of observation of patients with bronchial asthma (ВА), parasitic invasion and intestine disbacteriosis before and after treatment have been described in the article. Methods. The basic group (ВА(+)) included 46 patients with ВА, parasitic invasion, disbacteriosis of intestine or their combination. The control group included 18 patients without disbacteriosis and parasitic invasion. The following examination was done: PS was assessed by ACTtest (asthma Control Test), respiratory function (RF ), helminthoovoscopy of faeces, P CR of faeces for lamblia Giardia, bacteriologic examination of faeces. Results. Complex treatment resulted in improvement of B A symptoms, decreased number of B A relapses and decreased number of hospitalization. Also the increasing of F EF 25 and F EF 50 was evaluated. S ame tendency was not traced in B A group and in patients with isolated lambliosis. Conclusion. Treatment of helminthiasis and intestine disbacteriosis improves the overall bronchial asthma treatment outcome.

Adrb2 Gene

Objectives. To study the role of the ADRB2 gene polymorphism (rs1042713) in the impaired external respiratory function in children with bronchial asthma (BA). Material and methods. The study group included 60 children aged 3-17 years with allergic (n=37) and mixed form of BA (n=23). The genotyping of the investigated gene locus was performed by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism), BA control was exercised using the Asthma Control Test (ACT). Results. The analysis of allele frequencies showed an association of allele A with normal spirogram parameters in patients with BA (p=0.042). In children under 12 years, there were statistically significant differences in spirogram indices when comparing patients with genotypes AA and GG (p=0.045). An association of allele A with the absence of pathological changes was revealed when evaluating the results of spirometry (p=0.021). There was a moderate positive correlation (r=0.615, p=0.011) between the assessment of nocturnal symptoms (Asthma Control Test) and the genotype of the ADRB2 gene polymorphism in children aged 12 years and older. Conclusions. An association of the ADRΒ2 gene polymorphism (rs1042713) with the external respiratory function was revealed in an objective study by spirometry and a subjective assessment of this indicator by the patient himself/herself or by his/her parents. This gene locus can be included in the BA target panel in order to determine the likelihood of uncontrolled course development of the disease with impaired external respiratory function and in the future to develop an individual program for dispensary observation of the patient.

Global Health Issue

Research background. Bronchial asthma is becoming a global health issue: it is an increasingly common illness diagnosed in very young children. It is believed that the majority of people develop this disease in the early childhood. Tai Chi, which is a Chinese martial art combining harmonious breathing and body movements, can help to reduce stress, relax and maintain body balance. In addition, it allows those with asthma to better control their asthmatic fts and to improve physical potential. Research aim was to assess the effect of Tai Chi exercises on the respiratory function of 8–11-year-old children with bronchial asthma. Methods. The research was performed at Public Sanatorium. Two groups, each consisting of 25 children aged 8–11 years suffering from bronchial asthma, underwent examination. The following spirometry indicators were measured and compared: peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). Schtange and Genchi specimen indicators were evaluated before and after 4 weeks intervention. The study group practiced Tai Chi exercises and the control group received regular physiotherapy in a gym. Results. All indicators of functional capacity of respiratory function after intervention increased in both groups statistically signifcantly, but there were no signifcant differences between groups. Conclusion. Both regular physiotherapy and Tai Chi exercises were equally effective in improving the respiratory function in children with asthma.Keywords: children, bronchial asthma, Tai Chi, physiotherapy

The results of the treatment of women (n = 94) suffering from genital endometriosis are presented. The first (control, n = 30) group of women received standard drug therapy; the second (main, n = 64) group of women additionally had hirudotherapy procedures using medical leeches. The course of treatment consisted of 10–12 procedures. The state of cerebral circulation was assessed according to the rheoencephalography data before and after the treatment, as well as after 1, 3, 6, and 9 months. As a result, in patients in the 2-nd (main) group receiving complex treatment, the state of cerebral circulation improved signifi cantly. Moreover, according to the statistical regression analysis, it was possible to predict its further decrease by two periods ahead, compared with the treatment results in patients in the 1-st (control) group.

Abstract Background and Objectives: The prevalence of allergic disease, which has a severely negative effect on patients' quality of life, has been increasing in recent years. Environmental intervention is internationally regarded as a feasible method for controlling asthma. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of air purifier therapy for patients with allergic asthma. Methods: In total, 38 subjects were divided into a treatment group and a control group. All subjects were under the age of eighteen years and had been clinically diagnosed with allergic asthma. The treatment group used High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air purifiers for six consecutive months, and the control group did not use the air filters. Particulate matter (PM) data and dust samples (bedding and a static point) were collected from the subjects' bedrooms before they started to use the air purifiers and each month thereafter. Simultaneously, the subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire for the Asthma Control Test (ACT) or Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT). Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) tests were performed at the start and end of the study. The concentrations of Der p1 and Der f1 were measured in the dust samples. Results: 1. After utilizing an air purifier, the concentrations of house dust mite (HDM) allergens (Der p1+ Der f1) in the bedding and static samples decreased by 68.3% and 71.0%, respectively. In addition, the PMindoor/outdoor levels significantly decreased. 2. The ACT and C-ACT scores in the treatment group maintained a steady significant upward trend. 3. At the end of the study, the FENO levels in both groups were lower, although the differences were not significant. Conclusions: HEPA air purifiers are able to decrease indoor HDM allergen and PM levels and improve quality of life in allergic asthma patients.

Effect Of Oxygen

The results of treatment of patients (n = 100) suff ering from genital endometriosis are presented. The 1-st (control, n = 30) group of patients, against the background of standard drug therapy, received the Elevit® complex; The 2nd (main, n = 70) group of patients additionally received oxygen therapy procedures, in the form of oxygen inhalations from the Newlife apparatus and hirudotherapy using medical leeches. The course of treatment consisted of 10–12 procedures. The severity of pelvic pain in these patients was assessed on the YOUR scale in the period: before and after treatment, as well as after 1, 3, 6, 9 months. As a result, in patients in the 2-nd (main) group receiving complex treatment, the pain syndrome signifi cantly decreased, and it was also possible to predict its further decrease by two periods ahead, according to statistical regression analysis, compared with the treatment results in patients in 1-th (control) group.

Asthma Patients

Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases, and its care is often complex. In this research, we tested the proposal that participation of pharmacists in the management of bronchial asthma can improve patient outcomes. A two-stage study was constructed consisting of a training element and a service element, using the Asthma Control Test and a structured questionnaire about the patients’ disease condition (based on the results of a qualitative study). The study was conducted in 21 pharmacies in Lithuania and involved 338 asthmatic patients (age 18–88 years). It was found that before the pharmacy service was provided, the average number of mistakes patients made in administration of asthma medications was 2.03; this number decreased to 1.12 after the service was provided (p<0.05). Disease control paralleled the improvement in number of mistakes: 26.1% of patients who previously exerted no control over the disease symptoms began to exert sufficient control over their asthma symptoms (Asthma Control Test >20) after the service was provided (p<0.05). The reduced number of mistakes probably can be attributed to the positive effects of the provided services. By reducing the number of patient mistakes, pharmacists may improve the outcomes of asthmatic patients.

Methodology. 48 somatically healthy patients of both gender in age from 25 up to 45 was examined, that included questioning, examination, index estimation of the state of fabrics of paradontium, doppler ultrasound of vessels of paradontium with the use of device of "Minimax-Doppler-K" NB model with the sensor 20 Mhz. Linear speed of blood stream, volume speed of blood stream were defined. Patients were divided into 3 groups: 1 - basic group (n=22) are patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis where the standard treatment was complemented by application of injections of gel, containing 1 % of hyaluronic acid and 0,015 % of hydrophilic polysaccharide of AGEG, under a mucous membrane on a mucogingival fold; 2 is a control group (n=16) patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and the standard treatment (in accordance with clinical recommendations) was complemented; 3 group are people with a clinically healthy paradontium (n=10). Dynamic estimation of efficiency of treatment was conducted on the 2 day and 7th day, 14th day, in 1 month, 3 months.Results. There was a stable reduction of PMA index in a basic group, that shows the efficiency of treatment and remission in the period of 3 months observation. More low level of PBI and PI (p<0,05) indexes was determined statistically meaningfully in a basic group, according to the results of 12 weeks of supervision.. Results. The indexes of hemodynamics had more obvious tendency to approach descriptions of intact paradontium.
