Clinical Importance of Epicardial Fat Thickness Defining in Obese Patients

Obesity is a global epidemic characteristic of the 21st century; therefore, studying the subclinical markers of coronary atherosclerosis in overweight patients is current and relevant. With weight increase, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipocytes occur not only in the abdominal area, but also in the ectopic local fat depots, including the epicardial ones. As the myocardium and...

The article presents the results of the examination of women with chronic cystitis complicated with leukoplakia of the bladder, and associated with concomitant sexually transmitted infections, including the...

Biochemical Changes Induced by Emphysema in Children

In the lung, the pathogenesis of emphysema (Em) is complicated and involves several endogenous factors: protease-antiprotease imbalance, α1-antitrypsin deficiency, oxidative stress (OS), and ion imbalance. It is our contention that an increase in the free Fe level in combination with a significant decrease of SOD activity that we detected is disadvantageous for patients with lung...

Atopic and Nonatopic Asthma in Children: two Different Diseases?

The majority of the studies in the field of childhood asthma lie within the scope of allergy/atopic asthma; however, airway hyperresponsiveness is considered a marker of asthma, independent of the atopic status and should be regarded as a parallel pathological process that can lead to subsequent symptoms and clinical evidence of asthma in children, without the evidence of atopy...

Application of Modern Immunological Tests and X-Ray Methods in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis of the Intrathoracic Lymph Nodes in Children

This study helped to ascertain the superiority of Diaskintest® (DST) with respect to the wealth of information it provides when compared with the Mantoux test with PPD 2 TU (M2) in determining the activity of tuberculosis infection in children. The evaluation parameters of diagnostic value with DST (DE=77.5%, NPV=72.4%, PPV=91.1%) were significantly higher than with M2x test 2TU...

The Effect of Human Herpes Virus Infections on the Stages of Gestation

Human herpes virus (HHV) infections are dangerous during the early stages of pregnancy. Circulatory disorders of theendometrium from the uterine arteries pose a threat to the implantation of the embryo and the formation of the structure of chorionic villi. Oxygenation of the placental blood gets disrupted.

Interleukin-1B and Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist in Patients with Helicobacter pylori Associated Diseases

The ethnic people of the Republic of Khakassia (the Khakas) with ulcer disease show a significant T-cell activation and humoral immune response when compared with the Europoids. The reasons for such differences could be due to certain ethno-specific allelic variants of the interleukins, which considerably change the degree of cytokine expression. The aim was to study the...

Impact of Intra-Extracranial Hemodynamics on Cerebral Ischemia by Arterial Hypertension (Part 2)

The association between hemodynamic and biochemical parameters of cerebral blood flow have been studied in man, using mathematical methods of statistics. The values have been obtained through catheterization using a probe jammed at the level of the bulb of the superior jugular vein. Relationships with central hemodynamic parameters have been evaluated, including the right atrium...

Impact of Intra-Extracranial Hemodynamics on Cerebral Ischemia by Arterial Hypertension (Part 1)

The present study was conducted to examine the interaction of biochemical parameters within the blood flow, their effect on the cerebral blood flow, as well as the mechanisms of cerebral ischemia by stable arterial hypertension. The hemodynamics and biochemical indicators of cerebral blood flow without the additives of the extracranial blood were obtained by the catheterization...

The Possibility of Using Serum Concentrations of the Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha as a Biomarker in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Associated With the Human Herpes Virus Neuroinfections

In this study, mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is shown to be associated with human herpes virus (HHV) neuroinfections. We also demonstrate that the epileptic process is associated with an inflammatory reaction, and that the proinflammatory cytokine, the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is able to potentiate the reproduction of the herpesviruses. The study group (SG...

The article deals with PYY3-36 level in the blood serum of patients suffering from exogenous constitutional obesity and overweight, as well as its role in the process of the body mass growth. Among the 327 patients diagnosed with obesity and overweight, particularly those with Class I and II degrees of obesity (p<0.05) showed a significantly increased level of PYY 3 -36. The...

Some Indicators of Antibody-Independent Effector Mechanisms in Latent Sero-Resistant Forms of Syphilis

Currently, there is an alarming increase in the syphilis rates accompanied by a proportional rise in the incidence of latent forms of the disease among the population of several countries. Latent syphilis considerably delays timely detection, diagnosis and, therefore, the specific early treatment of patients. In 2007, the proportion of latent forms of syphilis in the Russian...

Rhythminotropic Reactions of Human Myocardium in Ischemic and Rheumatic Heart Diseases against the Background of Amiodarone

In human heart failure, Ca2+ homeostasis gets disturbed due to a decrease in the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). We studied the differences in the SR function in patients with rheumatic and coronary heart disease, against the background of amiodarone. Cardiac preparations from the atrium of 21 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 14 patients with rheumatic...
