FABP content considerably decreases by the end of at 24-h period due to excretion with urine, remaining elevated for subsequent 24 h. High clinical sensitivity and relatively high organ specificity are typical of FABP for 12 h after ACS. Within the early period of MI clinical specificity of FABP prevails over troponin in terms of concentration. Troponins display higher clinical sensitivity and diagnostic specificity during a 12-h period after ACS, prevailing for several days after MI. Simultaneous measuring of FABP and troponins (Tr) within the first 12 h increases the sensitivity of biochemical diagnostics by 30%. At later periods, simultaneous determination of FABP and Tr becomes unnecessary: FABP is excreted with urine and Tr level acquires predominant diagnostic significance. No relationship has been revealed between blood content of FABP and reperfusion according to electrocardiography data, probably due to rare measurements of this highly dynamic parameter. FABP test cannot be used in patients with circulatory disorders since its results are not adequate. The best option for differential diagnostics of ACS within the first 24 h would be a combined express immunochromatographic test which allows to measure blood FABP and Tr levels pending objective evaluation.","PeriodicalId":17856,"journal":{"name":"Klinicheskaia meditsina","volume":"19 1","pages":"207-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81651213","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}

Combined use of antisecretory drugs and COX-2 inhibitors is helpful to limit the damage in the proximal gastrointestinal tract (stomach and duodenum), but it increases the risk of injury of small intestine and colon. It was proven that proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists significantly worsen NSAID-induced small intestinal damage and microbiota balance. Nowadays, there is no proven effective preventative or curative treatment for NSAID-induced enteropathy. The new strategy of gastrointestinal protection is based on the discovery of endogenous cytoprotective molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). H2S is a gaseous mediator that produces strong cytoprotective and antioxidant effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The role of H₂S in promoting mucosal integrity, healing of tissue injury and resolution of inflammation has been well documented. In addition, H₂S stimulates productions of other cytoprotective molecules including prostaglandins, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. Nowadays, the new generation of H₂S-releasing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is developed and tested in clinical trials. H₂S-NSAIDs possess enhanced anti-inflammatory activity and high gastrointestinal safety.","PeriodicalId":17856,"journal":{"name":"Klinicheskaia meditsina","volume":"5 5 1","pages":"222-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83607675","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}

Material and methods An anonymous questionnaire study involving 104 general practitioners was undertaken. The questionnaires included items concerning lifestyle modifications, the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), dosage and time of their administration, combined therapy and endoscopic control. Results The analysis of the filled questionnaires demonstrated that 15,6% of the doctors always discuss the necessity changing lifestyle with GERD patients, 75% of the doctors discuss it but occasionally, and 9,4% never hold such discussions. 56,7% of the doctors begin treatment from double doses of proton pump inhibitors regardless of the endoscopic stage of esophagus damage. The mode of PPI administration is at variance with that recommended by the instruction in 61,5% of the cases. The basic course of erosive esophagitis treatment lasts 4, 2, and 8 weeks in 45,2%, 9,6%, and 45,2% of the cases. Treatment of GERD starts from combined therapy in 14,4% of the cases.

Endoscopic control of erosive esophagitis is practiced by 51,9% of the doctors, 48,1% of the respondents recommend this diagnostic procedure only in the absence of clinical effect.
