Description

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to veterinary medicine, and in particular to a method for the treatment of endometritis in dogs using hirudopuncture.

Among obstetric and gynecological diseases in dogs, the highest specific weight is occupied by acute catarrhal-purulent endometritis. As a result of endometritis in females, reproductive function deteriorates, and in some animals the disease is complicated by a pyometer and, as a result, ends with extirpation of the uterus or even death of the animal.

Veterinary medicine has achieved some success in the treatment of endometritis in dogs, however, the disease continues to be recorded in a large number of animals both in the Russian Federation and abroad. Currently, a lot of different means and methods of treating endometritis in dogs have been proposed, but they do not always provide reliable therapeutic efficacy. This is due to the fact that the proposed treatment for endometritis includes various chemotherapeutic substances and antibiotics, to which the pathogenic microflora quickly adapts. In addition, the use of chemotherapy and antibiotics causes a decrease in the overall natural resistance of the dog's body. As a result of this, endometritis disease is complicated by inflammatory phenomena in other organs and systems.

Recently, however, both in humane and veterinary medicine, hirudotherapy and hirudopuncture have been successfully used to treat various diseases.

So, for the treatment of mastitis in cows A.N. Petrov (2000), L.K. Popov et al. (2000) successfully applied hirudotherapy and hirudopuncture [1, 2], and I.S. Popova (2004) used hirudopuncture to prevent uterine subinvolution in cows [3].

The purpose of the invention is the achievement of high therapeutic efficacy in endometritis in dogs by the method of hirudopuncture, which is environmentally friendly.

The proposed method for the treatment of endometritis in dogs using hirudopuncture does not have a side effect on the animal organism, and, most importantly, pathogenic microflora does not adapt to this method of therapy.

As a therapeutic agent, a medical leech (Hirudo medicinalis medicinalis) was chosen. Leeches for medical purposes are grown under production conditions and are used to treat many diseases, including the female reproductive system.

The impact is carried out by replanting leeches alternately on groups of biologically active points: 46, 20 (1, 7 day); 51, 23 (3, 9 days) and 49, 22 (5, 11 days) according to the atlas of G.V.Kaseev (2000) [4]. Impact points were selected based on the work of G.V.Kaseev (2000) in comparison with the works and research materials of the Senju and Nanjing universities. Based on the scheme of organ interaction according to the U-Xin theory (Tabeeva, 1980 [5]; Ovechkin, 1991 [6]), the therapeutic effect is achieved by stimulating the channels of the liver, spleen and local points responsible for the functional state of the uterus while simultaneously suppressing the heart channel. Due to this, blood and lymph circulation of the organ (uterus) of the animal is enhanced, as a result, a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect is manifested. From the point of view of the bioenergetic balance of the diseased organ, normalization occurs at this time, because the influx of HANG (fire is in excess (stimulating the severity of inflammation)) through the heart channel is weakened and the energy supply of YIN (earth, tree - deficiency (causing the lack of regenerative processes)) through the channels of the liver and spleen is enhanced.

When hirudopuncture, we focused on the biological time of saturation of leeches (individually), which depends on the activity of the individual, the depth of the bite, as well as on the physiological characteristics of the patient. Thus, the time was about 10-30 minutes.

Optimally 4-6 procedures with intervals of 48 hours (with the change of groups of points). A day break between procedures allows the body to physiologically respond to changes (therapeutic effect), taking into account the inertia of the reaction (physiology, biochemistry - physical processes) to changes in energy balance and the entry into the body of biologically active substances produced by the leech through the BAP.

When stating leeches at the above points, we achieve the following effects:

1. Anti-inflammatory:

a) decongestant - emptying, reducing edema, restoring and improving microcirculation and lymph circulation;

b) analgesic - the presence in the secret of the salivary glands of painkillers;

c) bacteriostatic and bactericidal - delays and destroys the growth and development of pathogenic microorganisms;

g) improves the permeability of the vascular walls, antihypoxic, anti-ischemic, hypotensive effect.

2. Thrombolytic and anticoagulant - slowing blood coagulation and resorption of blood clots.

3. Immunostimulating - increases the overall natural resistance of the body.

4. Neuro-reflex - staging leeches according to the anatomical location of the nerve, restoration of neuromuscular transmission of impulses.

5. Energy - the ability to influence biologically active points and chakras, aligning bioenergy. It should be borne in mind that the leech bites only in the reflexogenic zone, i.e. biologically active point.

Given the wide range of therapeutic effects of leeches on humans and animals, it was decided to test them to treat endometritis in dogs.

Thirty-one female patients with endometritis were selected in an experiment to study the therapeutic efficacy of hirudopuncture. All animals were treated, while the animals of the 1st group (15 goals - control) were treated according to the methods adopted in the hospital using antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs, and the animals of the 2nd group (16 goals - experience) were planted with two leeches at the points of biological activity (BAT): 46, 20 (1, 7 day); 51, 23 (3, 9 days) and 49, 22 (5, 11 days) along the atlas of G.V. Kazeev (2000) (see figure 1), after 10-30 minutes, leeches spontaneously fell away. At the same time, it was found that in the control group 4 dogs (26.67%) died, and 5 (33.33%) underwent uterine extirpation due to treatment failure and a threat to the animal’s life, thus, the treatment was 40 %, with an average duration of 25.2 ± 4.2 days. In group 2, all dogs treated with hirudopuncture recovered (100%), the duration of treatment was 8.4 ± 0.2 days (P <0.999).
