Material and methods. 10 patients with H. pylori infection confirmed according to 13C-urease respiratory test for four weeks received the dietary supplement Gastrokur two capsules three times a day in combination with pantoprazole 40 mg once a day. A special condition was the compliance with Gastrokur temperature regime of storage from +40 to +100 С. The efficacy of eradication was evaluated using a 13C urease breath test 30 days after completion of treatment. Results. H. pylori eradication was achieved in two out of 10 (20%) patients according to the ITT criterion and in two out of nine (22.2%) patients according to the PP criterion. By the 14th day of therapy, 80% of patients had completely stopped symptoms of dyspepsia with the effect remaining for a month after the end of therapy. During the first two weeks of therapy, three patients had bloating, five had mushy stools no more than three times a day. These phenomena were not pronounced and did not require interruption of treatment. One patient dropped out of the study due to an exacerbation of pink lichen on the 21st day of therapy, which independently passed two days after discontinuation of treatment. Conclusion. A course of therapy with a biologically active food supplement Gastrokur in combination with pantoprazole led to the eradication of H. pylori in 20%. Against the background of therapy, a good positive clinical dynamics was observed. No serious adverse events have been reported, with the exception of an exacerbation of pink lichen in one patient.","PeriodicalId":11400,"journal":{"name":"Effective Pharmacotherapy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83522451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Damage to the ultrastructure of epithelial cell membranes causes breakdown of the digestive transport conveyor, which disrupts the most important stage of the digestive transport conveyor – membrane digestion, which plays an important role in the final assimilation of nutrients. There is evidence of a correlation between the activity of intestinal carbohydrases and the degree of atrophy of the mucosa villi, which suggests that the activity of disaccharidases can serve as an indicator of the functional recovery of TTS in celiac disease. Objective: to assess the activity of intestinal carbohydrases in patients with celiac disease, depending on adherence to GFD. Materials and methods. We examined 109 patients with celiac disease, the diagnostic criterion for which was a combination of clinical symptoms, serological tests and histological data. The median age of the examined patients was 41.5 years (Q1–Q3: 30–55 years, Shapiro p-value < 0.01). There were 16 men (14.7%), median age 30; women – 93 (85.3%), median age 44 years. Depending on adherence to GFD, patients with celiac disease were divided into 3 groups: Group I – 39 patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease, Group II – 28 patients who consciously or unconsciously violated GFD, Group III – 42 patients who observed GFD from 6 months up to 15 years. The control group consisted of 30 practically healthy people comparable in age and sex. Their average age was 33.9 years (Q1–Q3: 24–35). All patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy with a morphological and biochemical study of the mucosal tissue with a study of the activity of intestinal carbohydrases according to the method of A. Dalkvist modified by N.I. Belostotsky. The activity of disaccharidases of the small intestine mucosa was expressed in nanograms of glucose per milligram of tissue per minute (ng glucose/mg tissue × min). Results. In patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease, a decrease in the activity of glucoamylase glucoamylase (84.6%), maltase (87.2%) and sucrase (82.05%) (p < 0.01) is significantly more often detected compared to group III (glucoamylase – 33.3%; maltase – 45.2%; sucrase – 45.2%). Deficiency of all carbohydrases (glucoamylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase) was detected in 61.5% of patients. When comparing the indicators of carbohydrase activity in the groups of patients examined by us, it turned out that the average level of activity of glucoamylase, sucrase and maltase increased significantly more often as AGD was observed, however, their average values remained below the control level, which was less related to maltase. Thus, in group III, the level of maltase was 860 (644.5; 1413.5), and in the control group – 887.0 (854.5; 1146), which indicates a high ability of maltase to recover with strict adherenc","PeriodicalId":11400,"journal":{"name":"Effective Pharmacotherapy","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78264607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in men. Every year, about 1.4 million new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the world and 366,000 men die each year from this pathology. Despite the presence of a fairly wide range of diagnostic options in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer, primarily the determination of the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood serum and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), there remains a group of patients with ambiguous values of the above indicators. The use of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) with a tumoritropic radiopharmaceutical drug (RFLP) 18F-PSMA improves the early diagnosis of prostate cancer, which is the key to success for successful treatment, duration and quality of life of the patient. Material and methods. The study included 30 patients with suspected prostate cancer, based on the PSA level in the ʽgray zoneʼ 2–10 ng/ml and Pi-RADS 3 according to the MRI data. All patients underwent PET/CT with 18F-PSMA, with further morphological verification of the process. Results. Out of 30 patients, 7 (23.33%) had positive PET/CT with 18F-PSMA. The diagnostic model obtained during the construction and subsequent analysis of the SUV level ROC-curve showed high values of sensitivity (86%), specificity (100%), diagnostic accuracy (86%) and positive predictive value (100%) of the method (area under ROC-curve (AUC) 0.93), with reference indicators of RFLP accumulation – standardized uptake value (SUV) 2.5. The negative predictive value was 27%. Conclusion. Our study confirmed the high diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT with 18F-PSMA in the differential diagnosis of a tumor process in the prostate gland, with a reference indicator SUV > 2.5. We recommend 18F-PSMA PET/CT in patients with suspected PCa who have ambiguous PSA (2-10 ng/mL) and mpMRI (Pi-RADS 3) findings.","PeriodicalId":11400,"journal":{"name":"Effective Pharmacotherapy","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78535774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
