Adipose tissue dysfunction markers in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Abstract
Aim. To examine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and metabolic dysfunction in obese patients.
Methods. The study included 66 male patients aged 53±5.11 years with previously diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2). Cardiorespiratory monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed in all patients; low density lipoprotein, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and glucose blood levels, as well as adiponectin and leptin blood concentrations were measured in all patients.
Results. Blood pressure level and leptin blood concentration were significantly higher in patients with severe form of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the lipid profile parameters and other adipokines and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The data analysis also revealed association between the elevated levels of leptin and the classic cardiovascular risk factors - arterial hypertension and low density lipoprotein level.
Conclusion. The revealed associations may indicate the additional role of leptin as the biochemical marker of early development of obstructive breathing sleep disorders in patients with abdominal obesity, as well as the early manifestation of other components of metabolic syndrome - arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia with concomitant significant increase in cardiovascular risk.
Laparoscopic endocystectomy in patients with liver echinococcosis
Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the efficiency and to review the indications for laparoscopic endocystectomy in liver echinococcosis.
Methods. The results of laparoscopic endocystectomy in 86 patients treated for liver echinococcosis compared to cystectomy by laparotomy in 159 patients are presented.
Results. Optimal characteristics for laparoscopic endocystectomy were types CL, CE1-CE3 of cystic echinococcosis according to cystic echinococcosis ultrasonic classification by H.A. Gharbi (1981) modified by World Health Organization (2003) with cysts localized in 2-6 liver segments; partial superficial location of cysts; cyst size not less than 5 cm; no cysts in 1, 7 and 8 liver segments or deeply located cysts of any size, as well as cysts of CE4-CE5 types. Of the 86 cases in which laparoscopic endocystectomy was completed successfully, in 4 patients the surgery was continued by a laparotomy access. The reasons for the continuation with laparotomy were unsuccessful attempts for stable hemostasis at resection of liver fibrous capsule excesses (1 case), presence of large fistula between the cyst and components of the biliary system at the bottom of the fibrous cavity (2 patients), and location of the second cyst in the segment unavailable for laparoscopic manipulation (1 case). The frequency of early complications after laparoscopic endocystectomy was 15.1% (p=0.23). Relapse occurred in 1 (1.2%) patient (p=0.23). Comparative assessment of echinococcosis recurrence risk in different periods (Kaplan-Meier analysis) after laparoscopic interventions and laparotomy, both followed by albendazole treatment, did not identify any statistically significant differences.
Conclusion. The early and long-term effects of laparoscopic endocystectomy in liver echinococcosis are not inferior to conventional laparotomy if indications are strictly followed.
Psychological aspects of choosing between active and conservative treatment tactics in cases of liver echinococcosis with small sized cysts
Abstract
Aim. Comparative assessment of the psychological profile in patients with liver echinococcosis with small sized cysts while diagnosing and treating the disease.
Methods. A shortened version of the Minnesota multidimensional personality questionnaire MMPI (Mini-Mult) and Personal Questionnaire of the Bekhterev Institute (PQBI) were used. 142 patients with liver echinococcosis and cyst size not exceeding 40 mm were tested at the initial diagnosis and one year after the treatment initiation.
Results.Test results support the overall suggestion that psychological profile of the patients is not associated with the features of the disease. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (rS) between indicators of psychological profile and some clinical data (cyst size, location, number of cysts), as well as the age and sex characteristics of the patient was not statistically significant (p >0.1), or revealed only weak correlation (rs
Conclusion. The most favorable psychological pattern is formed when choosing active treatment approach. Conservative management and postponed treatment is probably an additional stressful factor for patients.
A novel algorithm for shock treatment in patients with injuries
Abstract
Aim. To improve the algorithm for diagnosis, intensive care and anesthesia in the acute period of traumatic disease at pre-hospital and hospital stages.
Methods. The first group included 60 patients who were admitted in 2009-2010 (standart treatment approach), the second group included 41 patient who were injured at 2011-2012 (transition period), the third group consisted of 55 patients treated using a novel algorithm in 2013. Systemic circulation parameters were measured in all patients. To characterize the severity of polytrauma, ISS (Injury Severity Score; Baker S.P., 1974) was used.
Results. Using the routine approach to shock treatment in the first group of patients (2009-2010) with shock both on pre-hospital and hospital stages had increased the duration and severity of acute shock period. Surgical interventions were performed only in life-threatening situations, and osteosynthesis surgeries were postponed. During the transition period, a specialized trauma center was formed for providing in-patient care, allowing new surgical approaches in treatment of acute shock stage. Although in 2013 mostly high energy injuries were observed (the number of separate injuries per patient increased up to 7.38±4.2), a newly introduced algorithm together with decreased transportation time to the hospital down to 20 minutes allowed to achieve more stable indicators of central circulation on pre-hospital stage (mean blood pressure 69.939±15.009 mm Hg, heart rate 97.991±9.931 per minute, stroke volume 85.815±13.667 ml, heart index 4569.862±1240.153 ml/min/m2). This allowed to imply the tactics of early surgical interventions in patients with polytrauma and improved the outcomes. A novel algorithm use decreased the hospital stay of patients with polytrauma both in the intensive care unit (from 2.98 to 1.86 days) and in the department (from 13.12 to 11.78 days).
Conclusion. The changed algorithm of care applied in 2013, is rational and effective from the practical point of view, ensures continuity of medical aid provided to patients with polytrauma both on pre-hospital and hospital stages.
Changes in organic mental disorders features in persons who have repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts
Abstract
Aim. Comparative analysis of the changes in clinical manifestations of organic mental disorders in persons who have repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts, and in patients without recurrence of misconduct.
Methods. 93 patients with organic mental disorders who have committed socially dangerous acts and were declared as mentally insane and in whom compulsory medical measures assigned to them by the court were used were examined. Patients who have committed repeated socially dangerous acts after treatment were included in the main group (30 persons), patients who does not commit repeated socially dangerous acts were allocated to the comparison group (63 persons).
Results. In the main group, patients with organic delusional disorder (F06.2, 20% vs 11.1%) dominated. In the control group, the share of patients with dementia of mixed origin (F02) was 22.2%, and in the main group - only 3.3%. In the main group, the prevalence of patients with psychotic conditions within the organic mental disorder was 43.3% versus 30.2% in the comparison group. At that, the rate of progression varied only slightly. The proportion of patients with no previously recorded episodes of decompensation was higher in the control group - 46.0% versus 13.3% in the study group. A few patients in both groups (10%) were supervised and regularly visited a psychiatrist. The number of patients who were not supervised or who attended psychiatrist rare was almost the same (46.7 and 47.6% in the study group and control group, respectively). At that, in the control group 12.7% of patients were not supervised due to the short disease duration (patients with dementia). There were a few more patients with a disease duration of more than 10 years in the comparison group - 54.0%, whereas in the study group - 43.3%.
Conclusion. There is a number of differences in clinical manifestations of organic mental disorder and their changes over time, affecting the criminogenic risk of this population; an integrated approach to disease prevention, which can lead to an improvement in the criminal forecast, is needed.
Intraoperative intestinal viability assessment in acute bowel obstruction
Abstract
Aim. To improve the results of surgical treatment of acute bowel obstruction by introducing a new device and a method for intraoperative assessment of intestinal viability and further choice of resection and enteroenteroanastomosis level.
Methods. Our team has designed a new device for checking the arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation, pulse rate, perfusion and intramural pressure in intestinal wall. A novel method for checking peripheral blood circulation was used for choosing the resection level during the surgery and for enteroenterostomy in 50 patients of the main group. Suture line viability index was also calculated using the formula proposed by M.R. Ramazanov (2008), suture line arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation was also determined. Control group included 44 patients, in whom intestinal resection and enteroenterostomy for acute bowel obstruction were performed without examining the peripheral blood circulation before the device was introduced.
Results.Intramural pressure in bowel obstruction area in 10 patients was significantly lower (48.4±0.6/36.3±0.6 mm Hg at arterial blood pressure of 120.2±0.8/80±0.6 mm Hg) compared to the similar parameter in 15 healthy patients (86.5±0,9/60.3±0,5 mm Hg, p
Conclusion. The developed device allows to adequately access the peripheral blood flow in bowel obstruction, intestinal viability index and arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation might be used in bowel obstruction to specify the intestinal resection level during surgery.
Influence of parental social status on intrauterine fetal growth restriction development
Abstract
Aim. To study the role of parental social status on the chance of intrauterine growth restriction.
Methods. We observed 315 mothers who delivered off children with intrauterine growth restriction, of which 172 mothers gave birth to children with asymmetric type, and 143 mothers - with symmetric type of intrauterine growth restriction. Control group included 119 mothers who delivered off babies with normal growth. All mothers filled in a questionnaire addressing parental education, occupation, age, living conditions and area of residence. Dispersion analysis was performed to determine the influence of the studied factors on the chance of intrauterine growth restriction.
Results. Mother’s employment had the most influence - 8.93%. Mother’s education level effect on the chance of intrauterine growth restriction was 5.51%, followed by father’s employment, which had 4.24% of impact. Living conditions influence on the chance of intrauterine growth restriction was assessed as 2.53%, followed by the family area of residence and mother’s age, which were 2.12 and 1.52%, respectively.
Conclusion. Conducted analysis of parental social status influence on the chance of intrauterine growth restriction revealed that mother’s unemployment and low educational level are the major risk factors for this condition, which might further help to develop preventive and therapeutic approaches to decrease the effects of intrauterine growth restriction consequences.

Abstract
Aim. To study the prevalence and structure of periodontal disease in in-patients with coronary heart disease preparing for coronary artery bypass surgery.
Methods. The study included 144 male in-patients with coronary heart disease who were prepared for coronary artery bypass surgery in the department of cardiac surgery. The diagnosis of periodontal disease was set according to the World Health Organization recommendations based on the comprehensive dental examination. Exclusion criteria were: diabetes mellitus, survived blood transfusions and all teeth missing. A prognostic model based on binary logistic regression method was created for estimation of risk factors on periodontal disease risk.
Results.The prevalence of chronic generalized periodontitis in patients with coronary heart disease preparing for coronary artery bypass surgery reaches 73.6%. Mild (51.9%) and moderately severe (48.1%) chronic generalized periodontitis were the most common. Among the risk factors for periodontal disease patients, we have identified older age, smoking, hypertension and survived acute ischemic episodes. For the created model, χ2 value was assessed as 42.7, meaning statistical significance of p
Conclusion. In in-patients with coronary heart disease, prophylaxis for periodontal disease should be performed to decrease the risk for exacerbations. Using the created prognostic tool in clinical practice may be used for outlining patients with higher risk for periodontal disease.
Determining the risk factors for xerostomia in dental out-patients
Abstract
Aim. To determine the risk factors for xerostomia.
Methods. The study included 137 patients aged 25 to 60 years (61 males, 76 females), the main group consisted of 40 patients with xerostomia (11 males, 29 females), with a median age of 44.5 years (38; 49.5). The control group included 97 patients without xerostomia (50 males, 47 females), median age - 42 years (36; 49). The questionnaire by V.V. Afanas’ev (1993) was used to collect the complaints, anamnesis and to determine the risk factors for xerostomia. Qualitative indicators are listed as absolute numbers and shares (%). In assessing the statistical significance of qualitative indicators differences, contingency tables with subsequent Pearson chi-square test were used.
Results. Among the patients of the main group, 19 (47.5%) took medications decreasing the salivation, with intake period duration ranging from 1 to 4 months. When questioned, patients with xerostomia reported statistically significant increase in the rates of cardiovascular disorders (15 patients, 37.5%), gastrointestinal tract diseases (11 patients, 27.5%), endocrine diseases (10 patients, 25%), musculoskeletal diseases (9 patients, 22.5%). The combination of three or more positive answers on V.V. Afanas’ev questionnaire questions was revealed in 12 (30%) patients of the main group, which was significantly higher compared to the control group (1 patient, 1.03%).
Conclusion. The most typical reasons for developing xerostomia were the following: taking medications decreasing the salivation, presence of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and endocrine disorders. Three or more positive answers on V.V. Afanas’ev questionnaire questions increase the probability of detecting xerostomia in a respondent.

Methods. During the study, 150 infants and their mothers underwent clinical and laboratory examination, of whom 130 infants had antenatal iron deficiency of different severity (main group), 20 children were included in the control group. Cytochemical analysis of peripheral blood was performed on 1st, 3rd, 7th day after birth by smear staining and determination of succinate dehydrogenase in lymphocytes, myeloperoxidase in neutrophils, acid and alkaline phosphatase in neutrophils and lymphocytes by microscopic analysis.
Results.Succinate dehydrogenase activity was reduced on the 3rd day of life in lymphocytes of the newborns of the first group who were delivered off by mothers with latent iron deficiency. Average level of acid phosphatase in lymphocytes and neutrophils was higher compared to controls throughout the study (p
Conclusion. Cytochemical studies of peripheral blood neutrophils and lymphocytes may be used as a screening test to assess the immunity in newborns who were delivered off by mothers with iron deficiency, and for personalized management of patients with comorbidities.
Predicting the risk for preterm delivery in HIV-infected
Abstract
Aim. To outline the risk factors for preterm delivery in HIV-positive women.
Methods. Clinical histories of 146 pregnancies with a confirmed diagnosis of HIV infection were analyzed. All patients were allocated to 2 groups. The first group included 60 patients who had a preterm delivery prior to 37th week of pregnancy. The second group included 86 patients who delivered at term. To identify the risk factors for preterm delivery, odds ratios were calculated.
Results. Risk factors for preterm birth include: infection duration less than 1 year (OR=2.6, 95% CI=1.04-6.49); 4A stage of HIV infection (OR=2.67, 95% CI=1.08-6.60); antiretroviral treatment started on 28th week of pregnancy (OR=5.12, 95% CI=2.37-11.02); oligohydramnios according to the results of second scheduled ultrasonography at 21-22th week of pregnancy (OR=29.0, 95% CI=3.73-158.8) and data for intrauterine growth restriction according to the results of third scheduled ultrasonography at 21-22th week of pregnancy (OR=16.84, 95% CI=5.46-51.93). CD4 count (OR=0.42, 95% CI=0.16-1.02) and viral load (OR=0.43, 95% CI=0.17-1.03) are indicators of patient’s immune status, but do not allow predict the risk of preterm birth.
Conclusion. Factors that might be considered as preterm delivery predictors are outlined. Introducing the package of measures aimed at early treatment of HIV-positive pregnant women with the risk factors would allow to reduce the number of preterm deliveries in such patients.

Experimental assessment of 2-oxyindolin-3-glyoxylic acid derivative anticonvulsant effect
Abstract
Aim. To explore the anticonvulsant effect of 2-oxyindolin-3-glyoxylic acid derivative on the model of acute myoclonic seizures caused by pentylenetetrazol, picrotoxin and thiosemicarbazide.
Methods. Median effective dose (ED50) of 2-hydro-N-naphthalene-1-yl-2-(2-oxy-1,2-dyhydro-indole-3-ylidene)-acetamide diethyl ether was determined by the maximal electroshock test in experiments on adult Wistar rats of both gender. The effect of median effective dose prophylactic administration of the study medication and comparators - diazepam and sodium valproate - on chemo-induced epileptogenesis was explored. Introduction of proconvulsant drugs (pentylenetetrazol, picrotoxin and thiosemicarbazide) was accompanied by the development of seizures, which was estimated by the intensity of seizures (points), latent period of seizures onset (seconds), the number of convulsive attacks, seizures, duration (seconds) and the number of survived animals in each group.
Results. Median effective dose of 2-oxyindolin derivative was 12 mg/kg as measured by maximal electroshock test. This dose of the test compound, similar to diazepam, effectively reduced the severity of seizures caused by pentylenetetrazol, seen as the increased duration of latent period before the seizures onset by 1.9 times, decreased severity of seizures by 1.7 times, decreased number of seizures by 2.1 times, and decreased seizure duration by 2.3 times together with lower mortality. The prophylactic administration of the substance has extended the latent period of seizures by 2.0 times, significantly reduced the number, intensity and duration of seizures, decreased the mortality after administration of picrotoxin. Also, 2-oxyindolin derivative significantly increased the latent period of seizures onset and reduced the severity of seizures due to thiosemicarbazide. At that, the study substance was not inferior in anticonvulsant activity compared to the diazepam as the reference drug.
Conclusion. The dose of 12 mg/kg of 2-hydro-N-naphthalene-1-yl-2-(2-oxy-1,2-dyhydro-indole-3-ylidene)-acetamide was effective in preventing seizures associated with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-convulsants.

Abstract
Aim. To determine the acute toxicity and hazard class of nanosized low-esterified beet pectin.
Methods. To study the acute toxicity of substances, Kerber’s method was used. Probit analysis for different values of lethal dose calculated by least squares method, as well as morphologic studies, statistical analysis (non-parametric methods - Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test) were used. Pectin toxicity was studies on 40 mature Wistar rats of both gender and body weight of 160-230 g.
Results. Enteral administration of 12 000 mg/kg of pectin did not affect the general condition and did not lead to lethal outcome. The following values of lethal doses were calculated using probit analysis: LD16=34 990.6542056074≈35 g/kg, LD50=74 242.9906542057≈74 g/kg, LD84=113 495.327102804≈113 g/kg, LD100=133 121.495327103≈133 g/kg. Histological study of rat organ tissues that received 12 000 mg/kg of pectin showed no structural changes in tissues of examined organs. Study drug - nanosized low molecular weight pectin, might be referred to hazard class IV (low hazard substances) according to GOST 12.1.007-76. and classification K.K. Sidorov Pectin substance may be considered as practically nontoxic drug (LD50 >10,000 mg/kg), which corresponds to Class V compounds according to Hodge and Sterner classification and classification by K.K. Sidorov.
Conclusion. The results indicate complete safety of nanosized forms of pectin, which opens up prospects for further studies of the biological properties of this substance.

The effect of hospital information systems on healthcare facilities efficiency indicators
Abstract
Aim. Comparative assessment of an automation facilities influence on labor input and business processes’ productivity indicators related to primary functions of healthcare facilities of different types.
Methods. We performed medical personnel’s work timing in emergency rooms, as well as medical records timing in clinical departments. The automated electronic health records processing while operating hospital information systems created by authors among different types of healthcare facilities was also performed. Output data included personal health record operation periods values and system events timestamps.
Results. The data concerning hospital information systems’ influence on electronic health records operating time changes and hospitalization delays was obtained. A correlation between the initial hospitalization delay and hospital capacity was discovered (r=0.917). The emergency room automation significantly reduces hospitalization delays. Under clinical information system operating conditions, the primary examination time recording increases twice, while the time spent for all other electronic health records decreases in higher order. Considerable difference between primary examination recording time and the time, necessary for other personal health record registrations, has satisfactory interpretation within the heterogeneous medical data sources integration model, but not within usability model. In general, the gained data does not confirm results of previously published researches pointing the increased time doctors spent for data management in automation conditions.
Conclusion. Hospital information systems implementation improved the specialist’s labor productivity and main working processes work capacity. The obtained data indicate a greater influence of automation in large healthcare facilities and reject usability hypothesis of hospital information systems efficiency.
