THE HYPERKINETIC DISORDER, COMBINATED WITH MENTAL RETARDATIONS AND STEREOTYPE MOVEMENT OF YOUNG ADULTS LIVING IN ECOLOGICALLY AFFECTED REGIONS OF GEORGIA

Abstract

The goal of the study is to rank the degree of clinically pronounced ASD syndrome with the level of (Pb, Zn, Cu) in children blood plasma, born and living in anthropologically polluted regions of Georgia.The study population is selected from children (mean age 3.5 years) whose clinical condition meets the diagnostic criteria for ASD by ICD-10, section F-84.4. The target group (25 children) included children with a blood plasma Pb level, ≤10,0mkg/dl the control group (14 children) had no xenobiotic in the blood plasma.According to the data given, the target and control groups are similar in the deficit of essential elements (Zn, Cu). The decrease in Zn level is more pronounced in the target group compared to the control group. According to the total data of the CARS system, the severity of ASD in the studied children was unambiguous and fit into the 30-36 ballroom segment.Motor stereotypes in children of the target group are more pronounced compared to the control group, however, the degree of significance of behavioral signs in children of both study groups is equally initial with the F-90 criteria.The relaxation of communication, the presence of a relationship with peers were consistent with clinical definition. Despite nutritional abnormalities, levels of essential trace elements corresponded to age standards, however, in the blood plasma of the target group, the level of zinc was approaching zinc deficiency
