Infections of the respiratory tract (acute respiratory infection (ARI), acute bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.), skin and subcutaneous tissue (pyodermas) are the most urgent for the conscripts in training units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The most common complication of ARI is community acquired pneumonia, severe course of which leads to an unfavorable outcome. In the first period of military service in a number of military units up to the one-third of the military personnel gets pyoderma. Factors of military service and a significant reduction in body immunoresistance of recruits contribute to the high incidence. The use of herbal drug preparation "Karmolis drop" with a prophylactic purpose permits to significantly reduce the incidence of ARI in military units - in 2,0-3,3 times. Also, there was noticed a decrease in the incidence of pneumonias - 2.33.0 times, tonsillitides - in 3,2-6,8 times, pyodermas - in 1,8-2,9 times. The use of the drug "Karmolis drop" has a pronounced non-specific protective effect and resistance to diseases of the respiratory system and pyoderma due to the increase of general non-specific resistance of the organism, allows to prevent substantial economic damage. The preparation can be recommended for the prevention of ARI and pyodermas in groups of troops prior to their seasonal breaks.

Aims and backgrond Mylosuppression has been found to be one of the major drawbacks in cancer chemotherapy. Presently the effect of Rasayanas, an indigenous herbal drug preparation having immunomodulatory activity, in reducing myelosuppression and subseguent leukopenia was studied. Methods Animals were injected cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg b.wt. daily for 14 days) with or without Rasayanas (50 mg/animal) and total white blood cells, bone marrow cellularity and survival of the animals were determined. Results Oral administration of Brahma Rasayana (BR) and Ashwagandha/Rasayana (AR) was found to protect mice from cyclophosphamide induced leukopenia. Total white blood cell counts in BR and AR treated animals on day 12 were 3800 and 3000 cells(mm3 respectively, which was significantly high compared to that of controls (700 cells/mm3). When the treatment was stopped on day 14 the value increased to 27,000 and 26,000 cells/mm3. The bone marrow cellularity were also significantly high in BR and AR treated animals (3.45 × 106 and 2.38 × 16 cells femur respectively) compared to that of controls. (0.72 × 106 cells/femur). Conclusion The results indicate the usefulness of Rasayanas in chemotherapy induced myelosuppression and leukopenia.
