Summary:
Cerebrovascular diseases (CVP) are one of the most common causes of the development of cognitive impairment. The occurrence of CVP is associated with the main factors of cardiovascular risk, leading to the development of hypoxia, oxidative stress, mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction and, ultimately, apoptosis, the formation of degenerative changes in the brain. The most important mechanisms for the development of CVP are hypoxia and oxidative stress, which indicates the need to use agents with antihyplance and antioxidant activity. Such drugs include Mexidol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate). Mexol directly affects the pathogenetic factors of the formation of ischemic-hypoxic brain damage, and has high clinical efficiency in the treatment of various forms of CVP.

Key words: chronic cerebrovascular failure, hypoxia, oxidative stress, vascular cognitive disorders, endothelial dysfunction, Mexidol.

Summary:
The review is devoted to the analysis of the characteristics of pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy of traumatic brain injury (CHMT) from the point of view of a neurologist. The mechanisms of development of damage to the central nervous system, including neuro -sparks and oxidative stress, are considered, in persons carrying the ChMT, the connection of clinical manifestations with the severity of the injury. Particular attention is paid to the description of such consequences of the TSMT as structural pharmacoresistant epilepsy and post -traumatic stress disorder. The data is given that rehabilitation measures at the victims of the Civil Code are difficult and less accessible in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. The need to include antioxidant/antihypoxant Mexidol in the complex CMT therapy was noted. In the conditions of the Covid-19, the role of a neurologist increases in the provision of assistance to victims with the CCT, especially at the outpatient stage, during therapy, and medical rehabilitation. Key words: traumatic brain injury, oxidative stress, structural pharmacoresistant epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, infection SARS-COV-2, Mexidol.

Summary:
atherotrombotic stroke is one of the most frequent subtypes of ischemic cerebrovascular accident, the cause of which is atherosclerosis of the large arteries of the brain or their branches. The results of the latest studies have shown that the atherosclerotic process is based on inflammatory changes in the vascular wall, leading to the initiation of atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and redistributing various protein components in the composition of the hematoencephalic barrier. As a result, the progression of the described conditions leads to the manifestation of clinical symptoms and the formation of an acute vascular event. Understanding the molecular components underlying functional disorders and damage to cerebral vessels provides the key to modern therapy strategies, forming the foundation for adequate, pathogenetically substantiated drug correction. In such patients, it should be aimed at normalizing cerebral and central hemodynamics and taking into account neuroplasticity mechanisms. The drug Mexidol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate) can be considered as one of the pathogenetically reasonable drugs in complex drug therapy for brain ischemia. Keywords: ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis, vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, ethylmethylhydroxypirine succinate.

Summary:
Purpose of the study. To study the features of response to stress, stress resistance and adaptation of elderly men and women with chronic brain ischemia (Khim), as well as the stressful effect of Mexidol. Materials and methods. 124 patients aged 60–74 years were examined: 72 men and 52 women (average age, respectively, 65.3 ± 0.4 and 64.7 ± 0.7 years) with the I - II stage against the background of arterial hypertension and its combination from Atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels. The level of psychosocial stress was determined on the scale of Holmes-Roya. Features of the response of patients to stress were studied using the techniques of “scale of psychological stress RSM -25” and S. Rosenzweig. Stress resistance was investigated using the self -esteem of the stress resistance of S. Cohehen and G. Willianson. The levels of anxiety were determined using the scale of Ch. D. Spielberger and Yu. L. Khanin, depression - the questionnaire of BEK. The type of adaptive reactions was studied in the leukocyte blood formula for the percentage of lymphocytes and segmented neutrophils, taking into account the representation of other uniform elements. Results. The level of stress in elderly women with chemicals was higher than in men. In men, the predominance of intropunetary orientation of the reaction to stress and the resolving type of response was revealed, in women - an extrapunitive orientation and a self -defensive type of response, which indicated a greater frustration of women. The level of stress resistance in women was lower than that of men, and correlated with higher indicators of situational anxiety. Adverse adaptive reactions were more often recorded in women. The course of treatment with Mexidol of elderly patients with chemicals led to a decrease in the severity of subjective and objective symptoms, anxiety disorders, increased the stress resistance and adaptive capabilities of the body, which was confirmed by an increase in the number of persons with favorable adaptive reactions. The high efficiency and safety of consistent therapy with Mexidol (injections, then the tablet form of Mexidol Forte 250) is shown. Key words: chronic brain ischemia, gender, stress, stress resistance, emotional disorders, anxiety, depression, Mexidol, adaptive reactions.
