Mortal men were called by the ancient Greeks, and this term has long since lost its significance. Immortality and left for a man equally unreal.
It is real, however, was relatively long extension of youth,
exact - maturity: good health, vitality, zest for life, hard work - in short, everything that is called gerontologists active longevity
.
Gerontology (from the Latin gerontos - old and logos - teaching) - is, as we know, the science of aging, and its problems, as a rule, become interested in people who have already reached a certain age limit. At least most of the 35th anniversary of which the great Dante wrote: Earthly life passed before the half ....
There are, however, exceptions. In 1972, two future military doctors - participants of the Leningrad Military Medical Academy Vladimir Havinson and Vyacheslav Morozov - are interested in a century-old experience of the French biologist at Brown-Sequard rejuvenate their patients.
Like Bulgakov's Transfiguration professor who used for this purpose sexual glands of monkeys, Brown-Sekar also chose for his experiments testes, though not monkey and bull, he singled out one extract, which is then administered to the patient.
Assuming that this extract contains certain biologically active substances that regulate the body's systems, Morozov and Havinson tried to identify similar substances from other internal organs of cattle.
Already in 1974 they had isolated from the thymus (thymus) and the epiphysis (pineal gland) peptide complexes, which, as shown by experiments on fruit flies, rats and mice, they regulate the processes of protein synthesis in cells.
These animals not only boosts immunity, and statistically, that is, compared with the control groups, increased life expectancy - on average by 30%. In the next 20 years, to the end that Frost and Havinson were colonel of medical service, they were able to get dozens of peptide drugs from a variety of organs and tissues of cattle.
The work was done in the research laboratory bio-regulators, organized at the Military Medical Academy. Medicines given cytomedines name (from the Latin citos - cell and media - mediator).
And in 1992, the Laboratory was formed by St. Petersburg Institute Bioregulation and Gerontology, entered two years in the North-West Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Headed the Institute has become the time MD and Professor V. Havinson.
The main objective of the Institute - the development and study of the mechanisms of action of peptide drugs that regulate vital processes and
slows the aging process. To date, under the direction of Havinson created dozens cytomedines isolated from brain tissue, spleen, thymus and pineal gland, gastrointestinal tract and other organs.
And six of these drugs included in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation - the state standard of manufacturing drugs available in the country of a legislative nature. This, by the way, some kind of record, since none of the other national scientists there is no such amount included in the pharmacopoeia of drugs.
The study of the mechanisms of action cytomedines gave a very interesting and very important results: it turned out that each of them affects the work of the bodies of which was allocated (Biologists call this tissue-specific effect).
For example, extracted from the bronchi cytomedines bronholin corrects the function of the respiratory system, and isolated from bovine heart and blood vessels and kordialin vazolin - function of the cardiovascular system.
In a number of large medical institutions in Russia and the CIS, including the Military Medical Academy (St. Petersburg), the Central Military Hospital named after NN Burdenko (Moscow), St. Petersburg State Medical University named after Pavlov at the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology named after Academician Ott RAMS, at the Institute of Gerontology of Academy of Medical Sciences, the Institute of Oncology, Ministry of Health of Belarus cytomedines used for many years and have shown to be highly effective.
One of the most striking examples of this is the cytomedines prostatilen, the use of which often avoids the traditional surgical solution to the problem of adenoma and associated prostatitis.
Cytomedines, however, not only be treated. Introduced into the body, these endogenous (that is isolated from the internal organs) peptide bioregulators control it many vital processes, preventing premature aging.
After all, it is a violation of the peptide Bioregulation lowers the body's resistance to all kinds of destabilizing influences - both external and internal, which leads to malfunction at the cellular level and the imbalance between the links.
And gradually accumulate in the body are the quantitative and qualitative changes that define the transition from normal to abnormal state of his. What, in fact, it is called aging.
Cytomedines same adjusting cellular metabolism, can appreciably slow down the accumulation of such changes, and in some cases even restore the damaged during the aging function.
