Abstract

FIELD: medicine, ophthalmology. SUBSTANCE: agent is lactic acid whey hydrolyzed with enriched lactate and used for curative nutrition. This hydrolyzate can be used for treatment of acute and chronic conjunctivitis. Preparation is diluted with water at ratio = 1:7. Preparation is dropped into conjunctive sac or by jet rinse. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of agent.

Description

 The present invention relates to ophthalmology, in particular to the use of drugs from natural raw materials for therapeutic purposes.

 The use of medicinal solutions for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the eye membranes is already known, of which sodium sulfacyl albucid is most widely used (see Medicines used in medical practice in the USSR, M. 1989, p. 367).

 It is also known for various types of inflammation of the conjunctiva to use drugs that have an effect on the pathogen. So, for the prevention and treatment of conjunctivitis caused by a specific pathogen, antibiotics, zinc sulfate, etc. are used (Eye diseases. Edited by T.E. Eroshevsky and others M. 1983, pp. 155-163). A significant amount of immunologically active drugs is mainly used to combat the viral conjunctival infection of interferon, rheoferon, etc. (see Medicines used in medical practice in the USSR, M. 1989, p. 367).

 However, practice shows that the fight against inflammatory diseases of the conjunctiva today is not successful enough and the search for new effective drugs, especially a wide spectrum of action, on a diverse microflora is still relevant.

 The aim of the present invention is to find a drug for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the conjunctiva of various etiological nature.

 This goal is achieved in that the treatment of conjunctivitis is carried out with a solution of hydrolyzed fermented milk serum enriched with lactates, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 7.

 Hydrolyzed whey enriched with lactates is a product of hydrolysis of fermented milk whey, resulting from the production of cottage cheese and cheeses in dairy plants. The drug is manufactured and manufactured industrially and used as a food supplement.

 The method is illustrated by the following specific examples of its use.

 Example 1. Patient Shmarinov V.G. 53 years old, (medical history N2618), was admitted 09.03.93 with a diagnosis of infectious-allergic bronchial asthma in the acute stage. Acute purulent conjunctivitis. When examining the eyes, hyperemia and swelling, burning, lacrimation, purulent deposition in the conjunctival sacs were observed. The conjunctival sacs were washed with a hydrolyzed whey solution enriched with lactates in a ratio of 1: 7. To prepare the solution using ordinary boiled water with a temperature of 35 to 45 degrees. The solution at body temperature can be used to wash the conjunctiva in any way, depending on the clinical manifestations: jet washing with a syringe, instillation, etc. Patient Shmarinov was prescribed abundant lavage in the first session, purulent discharge was removed, followed by abundant instillation 3 times a day. Already on the second day, there was a significant improvement in the condition, the disappearance of burning, a decrease in hyperemia and swelling, an improvement in subjective well-being. On the third day, hyperemia of the mucous membranes of the eye is insignificant practical recovery.

 Example 2. Patient Baslyk OG 27 years old, (medical history N2591), was received on 02.23.93 with a diagnosis of exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, chronic viral conjunctivitis. When examining the eyes, hyperemia and swelling of the conjunctiva was observed, a feeling of a foreign body in the eyes was noted during blinking. After washing by instillation of the conjunctival sacs 3 times a day with a solution of hydrolyzed serum enriched in lactates in warm boiled water (1: 7 ratio), on the third day there was a decrease in conjunctival hyperemia and swelling, the disappearance of the feeling of “sand in the eyes”.

 Example 3. Patient Sayfutdinov R.I. 36 years old (case history N2712), was received on 04/02/93 with a diagnosis of acute focal pneumonia with localization in the lower lobe of the right lung. Allergic conjunctivitis. On examination by an oculist, he complained of soreness and lacrimation during blinking, photophobia. Objectively determined by hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membranes of the eyes. The treatment was carried out by instillation into the eyes of a solution of hydrolyzed serum enriched in lactates in water in a ratio of 1: 7. Subjectively noted improvement. On the second day, there is no swelling, hyperemia is insignificant, photophobia has disappeared, eyes are not watery.

 A preliminary test of the effectiveness of a hydrolyzed enriched lactate serum solution for the treatment of conjunctivitis of various etiologies in all cases of use in a hospital has given a positive effect, patients willingly used this solution in recommended doses. No additional drug treatment was used. The above suggests that hydrolyzed whey enriched with lactates is quite effective and to some extent is able to replace the medicinal solutions commonly used in this pathology.

 Thus, a new treatment has been developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the mucous membranes of the eye, and for this purpose a new drug, hydrolyzed serum enriched with lactates, was used, which was done for the first time and not obvious for ophthalmologists.

 Considering the wide availability of the hydrolyzed enriched lactate whey preparation and its harmlessness, established by repeated use of the specified preparation in medical nutrition, it is safe to say that the preparation will find widespread use in ophthalmology, both inpatient and outpatient.

 The relative cheapness of hydrolyzed enriched lactate whey and high efficacy in the treatment of conjunctivitis, rather large volumes of production and estimated sales as a food product make it possible to talk about the great socio-economic and therapeutic value of the proposed treatment for acute and chronic conjunctivitis, available not only in medical institutions , but to the entire population.
