Pathological complete response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy is a predictive factor consistent with a positive prognosis which can be accurately determined by percutaneous vacuum aspiration biopsy. \u0000AIM: To evaluate the amount of surgery in the group of patients with triple-negative and HER2-positive early breast cancer whose complete pathologic response was confirmed by vacuum aspiration biopsy and who did not undergo standard surgery. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The following single-centre study has been conducted in the Russian Federation. Women aged 18 years old and older with unicentric (cT1-2N0-1M0 by classification TNM) triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer with complete clinical response after neoadjuvant systemic therapy according to imaging diagnostic methods. The patients underwent vacuum aspiration biopsy on the mammary gland under ultrusound control with standard amount of surgical intervention on the axillary region. In case when no invasive or in situ disease was detected, no further breast surgery was performed and the patients underwent standard radiation therapy. The survival with no tumor relapse in the ipsilateral mammary gland was assessed as the primary endpoint. The study is registered on сlinicaltrials.gov, NCT04293796. \u0000RESULTS: Between June 2020 and May 2022, twenty-seven (84.4%) patients (all women; mean age 47.5 (3268) years) were enrolled in the study and underwent visually controlled vacuum aspiration biopsy. The average initial tumor size was 20.5 (735) mm. 7 (25.9%) patients initially had metastases in the axillary lymph nodes confirmed by puncture biopsy; 15 (55.6%) patients had HER2-positive breast cancer, and 12 (44.4%) had triple-negative breast cancer. A study of vacuum aspiration biopsy samples showed that 6 (22.2%) patients had a residual tumor, and 21 (77.8%) patients achieved complete pathologic response (95% confidence interval 53.2 to 81.4). At a median follow-up of 12.4 months, there were no tumor relapses in the ipsilateral mammary gland in 21 patients with complete pathologic response confirmed by vacuum aspiration biopsy after neoadjuvant systemic therapy, as well as other relapses or progression of the disease. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The patients with a complete pathologic response, which is confirmed by the vacuum aspiration biopsy method, who refused to perform surgery on the mammary gland do not demonstrate worse results with a short period of observation. However, additional prospective clinical studies are needed.","PeriodicalId":12949,"journal":{"name":"HERALD of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.

The method for assessing heart rate variability allows to study the vegetative status of a patient, however, there are few scientific works on this topic at present, and the results obtained are ambiguous. \u0000AIM: To study heart rate variability in patients with takotsubo syndrome in acute and late periods of the disease at rest, when performing vegetative tests (the deep-breath test, active orthostatic test), as well as before and after mental stress tests and to compare the data obtained with the results of the examination of the control group. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included patients with takotsubo syndrome (n = 48), including 43 (89.6%) women; the average age of the patients was 63.3 13.5 years, and healthy volunteers of the same sex and age (control group, n = 40). All the subjects with takotsubo syndrome in the acute (first 714 days from the onset of the disease) and in the long-term periods of the disease (after 1 year and 2 years) and the ones in the control group underwent cardiorhythmography at rest to assess the heart rate variability after mental stress tests and against the background of vegetative tests. \u0000RESULTS: According to the cardiorhythmography at rest, in 47 (97.9%) patients with takotsubo syndrome, the influence of sympathetic nervous system on the heart rate prevailed, which persisted in the long-term period of the disease. The vegetative tests revealed a paradoxical reaction of the sympathetic nervous system and reduced activity of the parasympathetic nervous system in the acute and late periods of takotsubo syndrome, compared with the control group. In the acute and long-term periods in the patients with takotsubo syndrome after mental stress tests, in comparison with control group, there was no increase in parasympathetic nervous system activity. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: According to the study findings, the patients with takotsubo syndrome revealed autonomic dysfunction in the form of an excessive increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system both before the onset of the disease, and in the acute and long-term periods as well as a decrease in vagal tone, which was reflected in the suppressed response of the parasympathetic nervous system to the deep-breath test and mental stress tests.","PeriodicalId":12949,"journal":{"name":"HERALD of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.

The purity of the examined edges of the resected breast tissue is the main indicator of the reliability of the breast-conserving surgery and one of the main factors in the development of local recurrence. Neoadjuvant (preoperative) systemic therapy allows evaluating the effectiveness of therapy in vivo and reducing the size of the initial formation, both in locally advanced and resectable forms of breast cancer. The main advantage of this treatment is the ability for surgeons to perform breast-conserving surgery to improve patients quality of life and aesthetic outcomes without compromising disease-free and overall survival. \u0000AIM: To study the clinical and pathological characteristics and analyze of the breast-conserving surgery in patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: 156 performed breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed. Breast-conserving resection implied radical removal of the residual tumor node within healthy breast tissues with the achievement of negative resection margins. If pathologists detected stained invasive cells/cancer in situ in a formalin-fixed preparation, a second surgical intervention was performed. \u0000RESULTS: Of the 156 studied anatomical preparations after breast-conserving surgery, a positive margin was found in 4 (2.56%) cases. In 4 patients, positive margin was represented by ductal carcinoma in situ. According to the results of trephine biopsy, no intraductal component was found before neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The greatest length of the ductal carcinoma in situ section is 2.2 mm. In 3 cases, the distance to the stained resection margin of the micropreparation was 1 mm. As a result of repeated pathomorphological examination of pre-cut margins after surgical intervention, cancer in situ was not found. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The ongoing neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer with a partial or complete response of the tumor increases the percentage of breast-conserving surgery performed in patients who initially belong to the group of radical mastectomy, but who want to save breast tissue.","PeriodicalId":12949,"journal":{"name":"HERALD of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.

Currently, the methods of treating gingival recession are considered as corrective surgical measures. However, all modern corrective techniques are traumatic and force the patient to refuse surgical treatment in the presence of a shallow recession with a depth of no more than 2 mm. The depth of gingival recession in the absence of treatment progresses, which causes clinicians to search for alternative minimally invasive therapy for such patients. \u0000AIM: The aim of our study is to determine the effectiveness of prevention and non-surgical treatment of gum recession using a Radiesse filler (Merz North America, USА). \u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS: 36 patients (men and women) of the young age between 1844 with thin and intermediate biotype of gums and bones and patients with initial signs of gum recession (not more than 2 mm) have been examined. The state of periodontal tissues and changes in them have been assessed by clinical examination methods; laser Doppler flowmetry and a morphological analysis of tissues have been performed. \u0000RESULTS: Two injections of a Radiess filler have been found to improve the condition of the patients with gum recession compared with the initial values. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Gingival recession after two injections of a Radiesse filler steadily decreases compared to its initial values. In the absence of treatment, a statistically significant (p 0.05) increase in the depth of gingival recession has been noted after 12 months from the start of observation. When using a Radiesse dermal filler to support the keratinized zone of the gums, a decrease in microcirculation in the injection zone is observed in the first month, however, after 6 and 12 months, its value significantly increases compared to the initial value and the data of the control group.","PeriodicalId":12949,"journal":{"name":"HERALD of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.

One of the possible ways to involve the cardiovascular system in these diseases is supposed to be the formation of endothelial vascular dysfunction developing in many inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions. At the same time, endothelial dysfunction needs to be analyzed multidimensionally due to its participation in regulation of many processes, such as the providing of vascular tone, cell migration, angiogenesis, and hemostasis. \u0000This review examines the latest data on endothelial dysfunction in axial spondyloarthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases, and separately analyzes the studies of this phenomenon in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases-associated axial spondyloarthritis.

Anemia during pregnancy has been diagnosed with a decrease in hemoglobin 110 g/l (in the first trimester) and 105 g/l (in the second and third trimesters). Primary iron deficiency was determined by the level of serum ferritin. Anemia of inflammation has been diagnosed after exclusion of iron deficiency in the presence of documented signs of an inflammatory process (chronic diseases) and in accordance with the international hematological criteria: normochromic normocytic anemia, normo-/hyperferritinemia (serum ferritin 30 g/l), hypotransferrinemia (transferrin 2 g/l) and the level of C-reactive protein in the blood ( 6 mg/l). \u0000RESULTS: Anemia of inflammation can be attributed to the most significant predictors of the development of endometritis. The odds ratio for this factor was 4.12 (95% confidence interval 1.286.19; p 0.001). The study has also shown that significant factors in the development of endometritis after caesarean section are obesity (odds ratio 3.45; 95% confidence interval 1.145.11; p = 0.005), asymptomatic bacteriuria (odds ratio 3.68; 95% confidence interval 1.314.94; p 0.001), carbohydrate metabolism disorders (odds ratio 2.84; 95% confidence interval 1.543.52; p = 0.012) and arterial hypertension (odds ratio 2.14; 95% confidence interval 1.124.04; p = 0.032). \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of anemia of inflammation in pregnancy is 2.1%. Anemia of inflammation complicates the course of pregnancy 5.5 times more often in puerperas with endometritis after caesarean section (27.4 vs. 4.9%; 2 = 52.1; p 0.001), which makes it possible to classify it as a significant predictor of the development of postoperative infectious and inflammatory complications.","PeriodicalId":12949,"journal":{"name":"HERALD of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.
