Pinelis IS, Pinelis YI, Kuznik BI, Iordanishvili AK, Vasiliev MA · Advances in Gerontology (Uspekhi Gerontologii)

Reviews thymic and pineal peptide preparations — Thymalin, Thymogen, Vilon, Epithalamin and Cortexin — alongside the cartilage-tissue bioregulators Sigumir and Chondrolux, for trauma and for inflammatory, dystrophic and oncological disease of the mouth and jaw. Its claim about the joint is a single passage: that Sigumir and Chondrolux substantially improve the results of treating temporomandibular arthrosis and painful joint dysfunction and reduce flare-ups and relapses, supported by three citations to domestic studies and carried on into teaching material.
