The world of mushrooms – the fantastic world. It and chanterelles that grow in a fir grove, both baking yeast, and a mold on a top crust of bread and the nails of the person even thickened, destroyed. Hundred thousand species of mushrooms adjoin to us on the planet and still scientists build hypotheses of origin of these surprising plants so not similar to the fellows in the green forest.
Growth of fungal diseases
Lately interest in mushrooms, to be exact to microfungi increased in scientific community again. It is connected with growth of fungal diseases of the person. More than 500 types of microfungi, physicians, pathogens for our organism consider. A trouble that the immunity of the person falls, than the lowest plants immediately use. They literally take new "spheres of influence", that is actually win. In collectives where people inevitably adjoin with each other, the picture meets even more burdensome: the disease is found in two of three people.
Really prospects are so gloomy? By no means not. But, to understand an essence of innovations, it is necessary to penetrate into the nature of mushrooms. We already said that this group of plants includes a huge number of types from a penicillium – the fungus which saved mankind from pneumonia to his fellows causing onikhomikoz – diseases of nails.
Difficulties in treatment of fungal diseases
Fungi help us to produce alcohol and at the same time ruin a harvest of wheat and sunflower. At all fungi the general nature of life support. And quite unexpected. If any other plant as we know from a course of school biology, by means of a chlorophyll eats carbon dioxide, then at mushrooms this chlorophyll is absent. That is why the same chanterelles, milk mushrooms, birch mushrooms can be any color, but only not green. At the expense of what do they live? How do eat? And here is how. In fabric on which they parasitize emit special substances-enzymes, and absorb the "porridge" received with their help with appetite. Microfungi which pursue the person are nourished by ready structures his skin. Often nails suffer that always created a problem for doctors as practically did not get into a thick corneal layer of medicine. And in connection with distribution of the rubber footwear necessary for builders, geologists, workers in the village, doctors were nearly powerless before onikhomikoza. And it besides that diagnosis of a disease is simple and cheap. Even in a usual microscope which is in any laboratory thin branchy threads a mizzeliya – the main body of a fungus parasite are well visible. The difficulty in treatment creates as well that the fungus "starts up" in blood of the person the protein, for us, respectively, alien. As a result the organism badly transfers many drugs. Among fungal patients the intolerance of medicines is 4 times higher.
As medicines against a fungus work
System antifungal means opened an era of effective fight against fungal diseases. The essence of approach was that chemical, having got to the infected site, interfered with exchange of a cage of a micromushroom. Everything is good, but the course of treatment was medicines of the first generation long (present, within a year to swallow of tablets), besides there were side effects. Treatment by ointments and varnishes gives doubtful effect too – local means to get deeply into the affected nail are not able and application causes many inconveniences. In the last decades the chemists of Belgium made original breakthrough, having synthesized a molecule which is the cornerstone of modern antifungal medicines. They not just delay growth of fungi, and effectively kill them. And affect so any kinds of fungi, especially without understanding what look they treat. The synthesized molecule within only a week reaches nails. And there accumulates. The keratin and lipids of a nail kind of hold it inside. The scheme of penetration of medicine into a nail consists of two stages: active penetration and passive diffusion. Thanks to it there was an opportunity to carry out treatment by a pulsterapiya method: to the patient enough one week to take a pill, and about them to forget the subsequent three, but to be sure that fight against a fungus all the same continues. Usually the course of treatment consists of three weeks of intake of medicine. Suitable medicine is selected individually after consultation of the doctor. Modern antifungal drugs allow doctors to treat effectively, without creating excessive load of an organism.
