URO-BIOPHON - THE INFRA-RED THERAPY

One of the main tasks, which the medical biology faces at present alongside with studying the mechanisms of pathogenic factor impacts on the human body, is a search and development of effective methods of preventing and treating the most dangerous diseases.

In variety of forms of infectious pathology of men and animals chlamydia infections are of specific share, presenting a serious problem to health service, for they are widely spread and influence human health and reproduction.

Causative agents of chlamydia diseases are bacteria of chlamydia genus that are pathogenic obligant intracellular parasites living in sensitive cells of the “host” - basal cells of columnar and possible transitional epithelium. Two basic forms of chlamydia are known: elementary bodies - EB (infectious form) and reticular bodies RB (vegetative form).

According to World Health Organization data genital chlamydiosis takes the second place after trichomoniasis, being the first in the list of 8 leading groups of infections among venereal diseases.

The significance of urogenital chlamydiosis in human infectious pathology is determined by both acute and chronic processes leading to focal lesions in urogenital system and their secondaries influencing the reproductive function.

It is estimated that the high incidence of infecting neonatals with chlamydia occurs, when they are passing reproductive tracts.

It is essential to note growing statistics for extragenital chlamydioses: chlamydious proctitis, pharyngitis, chlamydious pneumonia, conjunctivitis, Raiters disease.

Despite modern treatment approaches, worked out lately, that are based on intensive antibacterial therapy using antibiotics of the fourth generation treatment efficiency remains low.

Physiotherapeutic method seem to be the most promising in prevention and cure of various diseases.

It his connection medical apparatus Biophon is of great interest.

This compact and simple to use apparatus is designed for physiotherapeutic treatment of urogenital diseases, both in clinics and out-patient units, independently and in combination with medicamental means and physiotherapeutical method, including preventive treatment.

The Apparatus inactivates pathogenic microorganisms of the families and genus enumerated below:

1. Chlamydiaceac
2. Spirochaetaceae (Spirochaeia, Theronema, Cristispira, Borrelia)
3. Neisseriaceae (Neisseria, Moraxella, Acinetobacter, Kingella)
4. Trichomonadidae
5. Micrococcaceae (Micrococcuc, Staphylococcus, Stomatococcus, Planococcus)
6. Pseudomonadaceae
7. Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia, Klebsiella, Morganella, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Proteus etc)
8. Bacteroidaceae
9. Mycobacteriaceae
10. Gardnerella
11. Mobiluncus
12. Papovaviridae
13. Enterococcus
14. Candida
15. Mycoplasmataceae (Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma)

One the main signs of cell damage is a change in the barrier function of the membrane of a microorganism. The barrier properties play an important role in maintaining energy status and cellular gomeostasis, as well as in nutritient transport and metabolic product excretion.

The Biophon apparatus affects membrane permeability damaging cells subletally as a result, their further life depends on their ability to restore systems being damaged.

Thus, maximal efficiency can be achieved when a break between treatment session is shorter than the time needed for cell restoring.

Besides, multiple use does not increase the degree of impact.

The apparatus function is based on electrostatic potential change on the cellular membranes of microorganisms, chlamydias included, reduce in toxines and discharge products quantity which facilitates their inactivation by immune system and elimination.

It can also have a direct bacteriostatic effect on chlamydias, as it has been estimated.

The apparatus has passed preliminary and extended clinical tests in leading scientific research institutes and clinics under Ministry of Health of Russian Federation (MMSI, CNIKVI, MONIKI and others) where it has been successfully used.

It is established that the Biophon Apparatus has obvious antichlamydia effect, intensifying antibacterial action.

The apparatus permits to reduce curative dose of antibiotics maintaining treatment efficiency. In addition, there are no side-effects due to highly selective impact only on pathogenic microorganisms. Alongside with chlamydias the apparatus produces bacteriostatic effect on a wide spectrum of microorganisms (gonococcus, trichomonada, spirochete and others) which exist in a complex in one and the same organism.

The effect of such a kind creates favourable conditions for restoring commensal autoflora which helps to diminish probability of repeated disease.

The apparatus use does not cause negative reactions in cellular and humoral sections of immunity. Biochemical tests have not revealed statistically significant deviations in values specifying normal functioning of the liver, kidneys and pancreatic gland.

The apparatus effect should be regarded as an auxillary means improving efficiency of the treatment of urogenital chlamydiosis with antibiotics.

Thus, clinical tests have showen that the physiotherapeutical Biophon apparatus for IR-therapy has.

• highly selective effect
• marked anti-chlamydia effect
• possibility to use apparatus in combination with medical preparations
• absence of obvious side-effects and contra-indications
• possibility to use out-patient conditions.
