Description

The invention relates to the field of medicine and cosmetology and can be used for physiotherapeutic and medical-cosmetic effects on the skin and organs, in particular physiotherapeutic treatment with healing mud.

Known (RU, patent 2073999) is a method of obtaining an extract of therapeutic mud. According to a known method, silt mud is ground, its extraction in a solvent, subsequent distillation of the solvent, and dissolution of the extract in liquid paraffin. At the same time, native dirt with a moisture content of 50-60% is abraded to grind algae stems, extraction is carried out twice with 96% ethanol at a ratio of 6-10 volumes of solvent per 1 kg of raw material at a temperature of 30-50 ° C and vigorous stirring for 20- 25 min, the alcohol-mud mass is left to stand for 3-4 hours, liquid paraffin is added to the micelle, and the alcohol is distilled off in a vacuum of 0.5-0.7 atm at a temperature not exceeding 50 ° C with periodic stirring and the extract is dissolved in liquid paraffin oil.

The disadvantage of this method should be recognized for its duration, as well as a low percentage of the output of the active substances of the therapeutic mud (more than 40% of the active substances are not recovered).

Also known (RU, patent 2256438) is a method for producing peat mud paste. According to the known method, the extraction of mud raw materials is carried out, impurities are cleaned, homogenization by rubbing through a sieve, the shear resistance and microbiological activity of the obtained product are monitored, it is packaged in a sealed container for the consumer, and aging is allowed to mature in the warehouse for 30 days. Peat peloids with a degree of decomposition of 50% or more are used as mud raw materials, peat peloids are homogenized by mixing them in a solution mixer with the addition of mineral hydrocarbonate sodium water “Khabarovskaya I ″ in a ratio of 3: 1 at a temperature of + 5- + 45 ° С and subsequent wiping the mass through a sieve with mesh sizes up to 0.4 mm to obtain a product with a shear resistance of 1500-4000 dyne / cm ² and preservative is introduced.

The disadvantage of this method should be recognized its duration, as well as the depletion of dirt with this method of homogenization, since the active substances (algae, shell of the crustacean, salt, etc.) go through a sieve, which determines the low physiotherapeutic activity of the prepared therapeutic mud.

The closest analogue of the proposed method can be recognized (RU, patent 2210376) a method of preparing sapropelic mud for physiotherapy. According to the known method, sapropelic mud is extracted with a moisture content of 97 to 93% from under the water using a grab method, cleaning of large mechanical impurities, dehydration, determination of moisture, viscosity, shear resistance, microbiological activity of the obtained product and packaging in consumer containers, while before dehydration they clean and homogenize the extracted sapropelic mud by wiping through nets with hole sizes from 1 to 0.5 mm, and dehydrate the sapropelic mud after wiping and homogenizing oestriasis by separating the liquid phase by gravitational hydraulic impact to a moisture content of 80 to 60%, and giving off the liquid phase used separately during physical treatments or for dilution sapropel dehydrated mud.

The disadvantage of this method should be recognized its duration, as well as the depletion of dirt with this method of homogenization, since the active substances (algae, shell of the crustacean, salt, etc.) go through a sieve, which determines the low physiotherapeutic activity of the prepared therapeutic mud.

The technical problem solved by the proposed method is to develop a new method for the preparation of therapeutic mud.

The technical result obtained by the implementation of the proposed method consists in reducing the time of preparation of silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan for use while improving its usability and physiotherapeutic activity.

To achieve the technical result, it was proposed to crush large mechanical inclusions in the silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan, followed by their homogenization to obtain particles of silt-clay sediments and its inherent natural impurities no larger than 0.1 mm in size (cream consistency), followed by packing of the homogenized product (therapeutic mud) per package.

Homogenization can be carried out, in particular, in mills with a given millstone size until the consistency of the cream (mainly not more than 0.1 mm). As packaging can be used as polymer containers of various shapes 0.1-29 dm ³ or stainless steel containers (intermediate packaging), and directly the applicator shells. Such packaging provides both ease of use (guaranteed filling of at least one applicator) and preservation of the physiological activity of the packaged product, since when opening the containers and using their contents, the biologically active components do not have time to interact with atmospheric oxygen. These applicator shells can be made of any desired shape (rectangular or round bags, candles, etc.) from any material that is resistant to the action of therapeutic mud and ensures the movement of biologically active components of homogenized therapeutic mud to the skin or mucous membrane of the patient. It is preferable to use shells made of woven and non-woven materials made of natural and artificial fibers, since they provide contact of the patient’s body with biologically active components in the finished product. After filling the containers with homogenized therapeutic mud, it is desirable to isolate the surface of the therapeutic mud from contact with the external environment, which allows you to maintain the effectiveness of the effects of biologically active components. For this purpose, it is possible to place the filled applicator shell in an atmosphere of hydrogen sulfide in a gas-tight additional shell (for example, polymer films laminated with aluminum foil).

It was experimentally established that the use of silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan homogenized to a particle size of not more than 0.1 mm with crushed large mechanical inclusions significantly increases the physiotherapeutic effect of the application by increasing the area of interaction of the active substances with the patient’s skin or mucous membrane, as well as the compositional features used as a raw material of silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan.

Below are examples of the implementation of the proposed method.

Sludge-clay deposits of Lake Tambukan, extracted by any known method, are mechanically cleaned of polluting elements (plant branches, stones, technogenic pollution). For this, a sampling of contaminants manually can be used. Since these contaminants do not have a physiotherapeutic effect, but interfere with subsequent homogenization, they must be removed.

After the removal of contaminants, the mass of dirt is crushed on a screw shredder of natural mechanical inclusions in silt-clay deposits. The indicated natural mechanical inclusions include the remains of algae, crustacean shells, salt crystals, sand, etc.

Such natural mechanical inclusions have a known physiotherapeutic value due to the lipid complex contained in blue-brown algae, as well as due to the influence of the mineral component inherent in silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan.

Sludge-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan containing crushed natural mechanical inclusions enter the millstone of the СО-233 type for homogenization. Due to a pre-established gap between the millstones, particles of silt-clay deposits of the required size are obtained.

Homogenized silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan are placed in containers. As containers for intermediate storage use:

- capacity 0.1-29 dm ³ l. according to GOST R 50962-96 until they are completely filled with a corking lid and with subsequent labeling and labeling;

- candle forms;

- one-time applications and tampons weighing 0.1-0.5 kg with mass control with an accuracy of 10% on a balance GOST 29329 3 cells. with subsequent welding and visual inspection of the weld.

The resulting finished product must comply with the organoleptic and physico-chemical analyzes of the requirements and standards indicated in the table.

Name of indicator Characteristic and norm Appearance Homogenized Dense Mass Color Black or dark gray Smell Weak hydrogen sulfide Humidity No more than 70% pH 7.0-9.0 Lipid content Not less than 1.2% Carotenoid Amount Content Not less than 3 mg% Bulk mass 1200-1400 kg / m ³ Mechanical inclusions (particles over 100 microns) No more than 1% The total number of aerobes No more than 500 thousand / g Coli titer Not less than 8.0 Caption Perfringes Sticks Not less than 0.1

The use of physiological mud obtained by the proposed method for physiotherapeutic purposes showed that its physiotherapeutic activity is quite high. This is confirmed by the following results of using the silt-clay sediments of Lake Tambukan treated with the above method.

Testing of mud applicators containing silt sulphide mud of Lake Tambukan, pre-applied preparation, including extraction of mud with subsequent homogenization to obtain dirt particles and its inherent natural impurities with a size of not more than 0.1 mm and packaging, and large natural mechanical inclusions were crushed before homogenization mined silt sulfide mud, carried out in the Pyatigorsk sanatorium "Tarkhany".

For testing, a group of 28 people was selected. The control group was composed of patients with approximately the same diagnoses as the diagnoses of the test group. Whenever possible, patients of approximately the same age were selected.

Patient V., 46 years old. The diagnosis is deforming coxarthrosis of the hip joints. The patient suffers from this disease for 7 years. The treatment was carried out by applying mud applicators containing silt sulfide mud of Lake Tambukan treated in the above manner in the area of the hip joints. The course of treatment consisted of ten procedures, one procedure per day. The duration of one procedure is 40-45 minutes. As a result of treatment, an improvement in the activity of the hip joint was objectively noted. Passed pain. After the eighth procedure, the patient noted an improvement in well-being. Compared with the traditional method of mud treatment, the treatment time was reduced by two days. At the same time, the applicator turned out to be extremely convenient to use. After the adoption of the procedures, no flushing of the mud was required, which also positively contributed to the rapid elimination of pain.

Patient M., 57 years old. The diagnosis is post-thrombophlebitic disease of the right lower limb, complicated by a trophic ulcer of the lower leg in the granulation stage. The patient suffers from this disease for 12 years. The treatment was carried out using mud applicators containing silt sulfide mud of Lake Tambukan treated in the above manner, by applying the latter to the right lower limb. The course of treatment consisted of ten procedures, one procedure per day. The duration of one procedure is from 40 to 50 minutes. As a result of the course of treatment, positive dynamics were observed - the edema of the lower leg decreased, the infusion of the skin of the lower leg decreased, the granulation of the ulcer improved. Subjectively, improvement was felt. Compared to previously used mud treatment methods, the treatment time was reduced by three days. The mud applicator turned out to be extremely convenient to use, since it allows you to completely cover the shin area, and also eliminate the need to wash off the dirt after taking the procedure, thereby contributing to the more rapid elimination of pain.

Patient A., 39 years old. The diagnosis is a condition after a fracture of the lower third of the tibia. Injury thirty days ago. The treatment was carried out using mud applicators containing silt sulfide mud of Lake Tambukan treated in the above manner, by applying the latter to a limb in the fracture region. The course of treatment consisted of ten procedures, one procedure per day. The duration of the procedures is from 40 to 45 minutes. As a result of the course of treatment, edema decreased, hyperemia decreased. Subjectively, an improvement in well-being was noted, painful sensations during walking decreased. Compared to previously used mud therapy methods, treatment time was reduced by two days. The use of a mud applicator made it possible to carry out treatment in more comfortable conditions, and contributed to a more rapid elimination of pain.

In all patients on whom a mud applicator was tested, containing silt sulphide mud of Lake Tambukan treated in the above manner, an improvement in health was observed 2-3 days earlier compared to the traditional mud treatment technique. Patients noted increased comfort of the procedures taken due to the elimination of the need to carefully eliminate traces of used silt sulphide mud. Due to the reduction in the time it takes to prepare the mud applicator for dispensing procedures, as well as the elimination of the need for personal hygiene after the adoption of the procedures, the number of dispensed procedures increased by 20% without increasing the area allocated for dispensing the indicated procedures.
