Vachrushina A.S., Krivenko A.S., Moiseenkova S.D., Ogareva A.S., Pokusaeva V.N.

Abstract

Study objective. To evaluate the association between the placenta and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG).

Materials and methods. A prospective cohort study included the standard ultrasonography with subsequent microscopic morphology of the placenta in term pregnancy. Of 83 examined pregnant women, 46 had excessive GWG and 37 had recommended one. In addition, intensity of lipid infiltration was investigated in 24 placentas (12 in each group).

Study results. Excessive GWG resulted in significant enlargement of placenta which resulted in greater neonatal weight. Ultrasonography and subsequent microscopic evaluation revealed placentas to be less efficient in case of excessive GWG.

Conclusions. These findings indicated that excessive GWG influenced placental morphology. Future studies are necessary to determine accumulation of fat in placentas and membranes in case of excessive GWG, which can be defined as ‘fatty degeneration’.

Analysis of providing medical care to patients with diabetes in foreign countries

Pervyshin N.A., Lebedeva I.V., Lebedeva E.A.

Abstract

The authors of the article analyzed the publications devoted to the prospects of medical care to diabetic patients abroad. The main attention is paid to gross observational pharmacoeconomical studies as the most effective tool for planning and organization of specialized medical care for patients with diabetes. There is a tendency to increase the role of outpatient care for sufferers, as well as to introduce the elements of standardization, modern information and communication technologies into clinical practice. The challenges of implementation of medical information systems (MIS) to manage the quality of medical care in clinical practice are also pointed out. Proper evaluation of quality parameters is impossible without a complex process of collecting primary medical data with the use of modern computer technology. To ensure the reliability and relevance of information, it is desirable that it is collected and entered into the database by the attending physician directly at the outpatient reception hours. AWPE DM (automated workplace of an endocrinologist for outpatient admission of patients with diabetes mellitus) is a computer program designed to collect medical data of outpatients without additional working time expenditures, followed by a printout of the formalized protocol. Its application in everyday practice allows to solve the local problem of formalization and informational support of primary care to diabetic patients, to systematize the processes of collecting primary medical information. In the future, data provided by AWPE DM can be exported to the Federal Register of Diabetes Mellitus (FRDM) in order to update its database.

Allografts for surgery in the closure of nasal septal intraoperative defects

Shelikhovskaia M.A., Syroezhkin F.A., Tipikin V.P., Vinichenko K.V., Kulish A.V., Kovtun S.V.

Abstract

Surgical correction of the deviation of nasal septum is the most frequently performed surgical interventions in Otorhinolaryngology departments. Sometimes such operations can be complicated by an intraoperative defect in the nasal septum, which is not always possible to close with autogenous tissue. That’s why it has become important to use new allogenic transplant materials in the treatment of these defects. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of allografts (allogeneic fascia and allogenic cartilage treated by Alloplant technology) in closure of intraoperative defects of the nasal septum. The treatment was performed to 40 patients aged 24–55 who developed defect of the mucous membrane of the nasal septum during the operation for nasal spetum deviation. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 20 people. The 1st group included patients whose allogenic transplantat materials were used in addition to their own tissues during the closure of the defect. The 2nd group consisted of patients whose autogenous tissues were used during the operation. The data of functional state of the nasal mucosa and the anatomical integrity of the nasal septum of all patients before treatment, one month and one year after the treatment were checked and compared. It was revealed that allografts (allogenic fascia and allogenic cartilage treated by Alloplant technology) demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect, and their use in closing of intraoperative defects of the nasal septum is more effective. This procedure also accelerates improvement of the functional activity of the nasal mucosa in comparison with the use of autogenous tissues solely.

Indicator of stroke volume in estimating patient’s volemic status in the carotid endarterectomy

Prozhoga M.G., Kositsyna G.V.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the significance of variability index of the heart stroke volume in assessing the volemic status of patients during carotid endarterectomy.

Materials and methods. The study included 60 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy. The average age of patients is 68 ± 7.4 years. The operation was performed under general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. Cardiorespiratory interaction was studied. The parameters of the state of central hemodynamics were recorded before and after the functional hemodynamic test with the patient’s legs raised. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the change in the stroke volume of the heart on the test results.

Results. The 1st group included 11 patients (18%), they have a volemia deficiency in combination with a decrease in myocardial contractility, 18 patients (30%) of the 2nd group suffered deficiency of volemia, and 31 patients (52%) having satisfactory hemodynamics were included into the 3rd group. The results of the test with raising of the legs demonstrated that the changes in the SVV indicator corresponded completely to the changes in stroke volume. It was revealed that, irrespectively of the initial state of hemodynamics, the index of variability of the heart stroke volume correctly reflected the state of the volemic status of patients during carotid endarterectomy.

Findings. The rate of variability of heart stroke volume allows to evaluate the effectiveness of the infusion therapy and to control the volemic load during the carotid endarterectomy operation.

Non-coronarogenic causes of increased cardiac troponins in the practice of physicians (literature review)

Chaulin A.M., Grigorieva Y.V., Milutin I.N., Duplyakov D.V.

Abstract

Cardiac isoforms of troponins are the most sensitive and specific biomarkers of myocardial damage and new high-sensitivity methods can reveal very minor damages on the heart muscle. However, elevated troponin levels indicate cardiac damage, but do not define the cause of the damage. Therefore, cardiac troponin elevations are common in many disease states and do not necessarily indicate the presence of acute myocardial infarction. In clinical practice, interpretation of positive troponins may be challenging. In our article, we consider the main non-coronarogenic causes of increased cardiac troponins. The first part of the review discusses the mechanisms of increase and the diagnostic value of cardiac troponins during physical exertion, inflammatory and toxic myocardial injuries (endocarditis, myocarditis, sepsis), and renal failure. The second part of the literature review describes the mechanisms of increase and the diagnostic value of troponins in pulmonary thromboembolism, dissecting aortic aneurysms, neurogenic pathologies (stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhages), and treatment with cardiotoxic drugs (chemotherapy). Special attention is paid to the false positive causes of elevation of troponins.

Methods for early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease

Kidalov M.B., Savchenko E.V.

Abstract

Currently, the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is carried out mainly on the ground of clinical picture. However, long before the development of motor disorders, a number of signs characteristic of parkinsonism can be detected. The review of the literature presents methods to detect non-motor disorders that can be considered as predictors of the disease and it also discusses the issue of the laboratory studies of specific biomarkers for early diagnosis. We suggested to use the combination of olfactory test and questionnaire about vegetative disorders as the most relevant solution for clinical practice. It is recommended to interpret the test data as a sign of extremely high probability of the development of clinical manifestations of Parkinson’s disease, and, therefore, as a reason to start preventive therapy.

Negative outcome predictors of West syndrome

Prygunova T.M., Antipenko E.A., Mukhin K.Y.

Abstract

West syndrome is infantile epileptic encephalopathy characterized by the triad of symptoms: infantile spasms, changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) in the form of hypsarrhythmia and psychomotor retardation. Revealing of the predictors of clinical outcome can contribute to the selection of the optimal therapy and determine the terms of dynamic monitoring and improve treatment outcome.

Aim: to identify predictors of West syndrome outcome.

Materials and methods. The study included 132 patients who underwent treatment from 2000 to 2018. At the onset of the observation the age of children was from 5 months to 17 years 11 months. The age of the onset of spasms ranged from 1 day to 3 years 2 months. Depending on the etiological factor patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 — patients with a structural form (60 patients; 45.5%), group 2 — patients with a genetic form (39 children; 29.5%), group 3 — patients with the disease of unknown etiology (33 children; 25.0%). Evaluating the treatment, special attention was paid to the effectiveness of the first three lines of AEDs and hormones, as well as the further selection of AEDs.

Results. Epileptic spasms were controlled in 76 children (57.6%), all seizures were controlled in 48 (36.4%) children. Patients of the 3rd group demonstrated a higher frequency of spasms arresting (87.9% in comparison to 48.7 and 46.7%) and complete remission (72.7% in comparison to 26.7 and 27.6% respectively). Normal neuropsychic development before the onset of spasms, the absence of epi-activity or the presence of regional epi-activity on the EEG in dynamics, the presence of diffuse changes in MRI had positive prognostic value for spasms control. Neonatal seizures, the presence of epi-activity on the EEG and focal deficiency before spasms, the presence of other seizures, pathology of vision and hearing, and necessity to use ≥2 drugs had negative prognostic value. The best compensation of motor and psychoverbal development was noted in patients who had remission.

Conclusions. Predictors of negative outcome of West syndrome include structural and genetic forms of the disease, neonatal seizures, epi-activity on EEG, impaired neuropsychic development and the focal pathology before spasms, the presence of other seizures, the persistence of epi-activity in dynamics and the absence of the first-line therapy effect.

Glushchenko S.N., Shmygareva A.A., Sankov A.N.

Abstract

Introduction. The aim of this work is to develop an effective herbal medicine based on Aloe arborescens juice (Aloe arborescens Mill.) with a high content of active substances. It allows to use this drug for patients suffering from hemorrhoids, as well as to develop methods for the standardization of this dosage form.

Material and methods. Homeopathic suppositories of Aloe DN (containing aloe, rhubarb and chamomile) are recommended by the state registry of medicines for the treatment of chronic constipation. This medicine having some drawbacks, we are the first to develop suppositories with aloe juice containing high level of active substances, in which selected hydrophilic base contributes to the rapid absorption of active substances.

Results and discussion. The advantages of the developed method for producing suppositories with Aloe arborescens juice are as follows: the content of active substances in one suppository on a hydrophilic base (gelatin-glycerol) determined by the UV spectrophotometry method is 2.6 mg, it ensures the optimal pharmacological effect; hydrophilic base, from which the active ingredients of Aloe arborescens juice (barbaloin) are easily absorbed, allows to recommend the use of this dosage form to people with hemorrhoids.

Conclusions. The dosage form of hydrophilic suppositories with Aloe arborescens juice provides a high release of the active substance from the base. This substance is easily absorbed into the rectum and exerts laxative effect. The proposed dosage form is of therapeutic benefit due to the higher concentration of active substances in Aloe arborescens juice (2.6 mg).

Development of approaches to standardization of black walnut bark

Zimenkina N.I., Kurkin V.A.

Abstract

Significance. Black Walnut (Juglans nigra L.) is a species of trees of the Walnut family (Juglandaceae). This plant of the genus Walnut (Juglans L.) has not been sufficiently studied unlike other species e.g. Juglans regia L. This medicinal plant raw material is quite perspective, its preparations have antimicrobial, general tonic effect. We can use its leaves, unripe fruit, and the bark. However they are not widely used in medicine. In order to introduce the plants of the Walnut genus to the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation (RF State Pharmacopoeia), it is necessary to conduct of pharmacognostic studies, to develop product specification file to confirm the identification and quality of medicinal plant raw materials.

The aim of this study is to develop a method of quantitative determination of flavonoids in the bark of the black walnut (Juglans nigra L.).

Materials and methods. Material of the study was black walnut bark, stocked during the sap flow period (April) in 2018. The bark was skived up to 15 cm long and 2–3 cm wide. The bark was air-dried with the protection from direct sun light. The end of the drying was checked by the brittleness of the bark.

Results. The methods of the quantitative determination of flavonoids in walnut bark has been developed. We used the differential spectrophotometry taking into consideration state standard sample of rutin at the analytical wavelength of 416 nm. The error of a single determination with a confidence level of 95% is ±1.20%.

Conclusion. We used the developed technique and analyzed a number of samples of black walnut bark. The content of total flavonoids in the plant raw material is 5.13 ± 0.02% (as calculated on rutin). The flavonoid content should be at least 4.0%.

Determination of antimicrobial activity of alcohol extractions of bark and buds of Quercus robur L.

Ryabov N.A., Kurkin V.A., Ryzhov V.M., Lyamin A.V., Zhestkov A.V., Sokhina A.A.

Abstract

Antimicrobial activity of alcoholic extractions from the aboveground organs like bark and buds of Quercus robur L. was studied. The determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was performed with the use of double serial dilution in broth. The following microorganisms were used as test cultures: Bacillus cereus, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. It has been revealed that alcoholic extractions of the bark of Quercus robur have the widest spectrum of antibacterial activity in relation to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Results of microbiological analysis show that alcoholic extractions from the bark and buds have an antimicrobial effect on all of these strains with a single dilution (except for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with 70% extractions of bark of Quercus robur). In particular, relatively high antimicrobial activity was observed in alcoholic extracts of all buds concentrations against Candida albicans at a dilution of 2, 4 and 8 times and Escherichia coli at a dilution of 4, 8 and 16 times. The greatest antimicrobial effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa has extracts from the bark and buds in all the studied concentrations of alcohol. A significant antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli has 40% of extractions from the buds of Quercus robur when diluted by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 times. The results can be used as justification for the introduction of a new type of raw material that is buds of Quercus robur, as well as drugs based on it in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation as antibacterial phytopharmaceuticals.
