Abstract
We presented our own data on use effectiveness of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of centimetric band of not thermal intensity in children rehabilitation with recurrent bronchitis (RB), generated by means of the device "Aster". 101 children aged from 1 year up to 6 years, including 60 boys (59.4 %) and 41 girls (40.6 %) were examined. EMR influence on the parameters of innate immunity and cytokine regulation was assessed. The level of IL-1ß, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 was determined in blood serum by method of an enzyme immunoassay by means of ООО "Cytokin" test systems. Immune status disturbances were revealed, which were characterized by a decrease in phagocytosis (PF) percentage - PF average value was (48.9 ± 2.8) % in children of group 1, (51.6 ± 2.7) % in control group 2, activation of oxygen-dependent killing mechanisms (NST-test spontaneous - (46.3 ± 4.6) units in group 1 and (47.9 ± 6.7) in group 2, NST test induced - (77.7 ± 4.9) in group 1 and in group 2 (73.7 ± 3.9) standard units). The data obtained are typical for a region with environmental problems, which corresponds to earlier research work in the Astrakhan region. The conducted studies showed that rehabilitation programs using EMR, increase the effectiveness of activities conducted in children with the recurrent bronchitis, reduce the average duration of bronchial obstruction from (6.3 ± 0.4) days to (4.4 ± 0.2) days, p = 0,005.
