Materials and methods: 80 people were examined, 40 of whom applied for permission to change their sex (20 people male and 20 people of the female biological sex). The comparison group — 20 men and 20 women, whose gender identity coincides with the biological sex. Methods — Sandra Bem's BSRI (Bem Sex-Role Inventory) test, V.V. Stolin's self-attitude questionnaire, O.L. Kustovoi's questionnaire. Results: it has been established that in the group of transsexuals with a female biological sex, images of a man and a woman are clearly distinguished, the self-image is closer to the desired image of a man, while the image of a woman is less achievable. The group of male transsexuals is closer to the image of the “Ideal Man” than to the image of the “Ideal Woman”. The key features that correspond to their self-determination as women are revealed: passivity, dependence on others, compromise, gullibility. According to the self-perception of all 4 groups, the “Ideal Woman” is happier than the “Ideal Man”. In the transsexuals’ group of male biological sex, were found no differences with the indicators of conditionally healthy groups of both sexes in the parameter “Love for children”, in contrast to the group of female transsexuals of the biological sex. Male transsexuals are looking for a radically new way to meet their needs without judgment from society. Summary: the indicators of self-relationship in the comparison groups are higher than in the groups of persons striving for a sex change.","PeriodicalId":18314,"journal":{"name":"Medical Herald of the South of Russia","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87925892","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}

Materials and methods: 109 patients with STEMI complicated by CS were studied after interventional intervention (mean age 63.1±10.1 years). The observation group included 33 patients with AKI, and the comparison group — 76 patients without AKI. AKI was diagnosed with an increase in plasma creatinine level by ≥26.5 mmol/l from the baseline level within 48 hours or by ≥1.5 times from its known or assumed basal level.

The recurrence rate after correction of prolapse with own tissues reaches 40%, and operations using mesh implants have a number of specific complications, the fight against which sometimes becomes more difficult than primary intervention.

Different classification approaches in the typing of agoraphobia are presented. Its role as a factor aggravating the course of non-psychotic mental disorders is shown. The features of its manifestation depending on the nosological affiliation are analyzed. It was revealed that agoraphobia is a predictor of an unfavorable outcome in people with panic disorder. In turn, panic disorder often causes the development of agoraphobia. At the same time, gender and age aspects are noted. The comorbidity of agoraphobia and somato-vegetative type of generalized anxiety disorder is shown. Agoraphobia increases the risk of suicidal behavior in depression, has a high correlation with the severity of personality disorders, especially of the avoidant and dependent type. At the same time, some researchers dispute the point of view that these types of personality disorders are predisposing factors for panic disorder and agoraphobia, based on retrospective data on the premorbid personality structure of patients with anxiety disorders. The relationship between PTSD and panic disorder is emphasized in connection with the emergence of a circular model of the development of feelings of fear, which postulates a similar etiology of anxiety disorders. There is a comorbidity of agoraphobia with disorders of the hypochondriac spectrum: from the degree of fixation to obsessive nature. reduces the effectiveness of therapy for schizophrenic spectrum disorders and the quality of life of patients. The picture of the panic disorder itself with agoraphobia becomes heavier if the patient has chronic alcoholism (in particular, the frequency of seizures increases), while the presence of agoraphobic symptoms leads to a relapse of alcoholic illness, which is explained by taking alcohol to relieve symptoms, and also increases the likelihood of developing dependence on tranquilizers.","PeriodicalId":18314,"journal":{"name":"Medical Herald of the South of Russia","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86457378","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}

Materials and methods: a comprehensive examination of 83 patients aged 26 to 50 years with diagnosed interstitial, interstitial-subserous uterine myoma was carried out. By age, all women are divided into 3 groups. Standard clinical and clinical laboratory studies, colposcopy, microbiological examination of the detachable posterior vaginal fornix, biopsy specimens of myomatous nodes and their bed, as well as morphological examination of biopsy specimens of myomatous nodes and their bed were performed.Results: in the structure of clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids, pain syndrome was the leading one (p<0.05).

The issue of pathogenetic treatment and prevention of recurrence of uterine fibroids in reproductive age remains relevant. The aims of the review. The aim of this review is to summarize current data about microRNA in biology of uterine leiomyoma (LM). This information can improve our understanding of the broad molecular interaction of signaling pathways in the formation of LM, and further maintaining epigenetic regulation as an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma. In leiomyomas, the expression of a number of non-proteincoding genes is altered, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), which target genes that code protein. Material and research methods. Original and review articles, book chapters in the PubMed database related to the study of the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids in the period from 2004 to 2022 were found and analyzed. Results and discussions. Based on an analytical review of the literature, it becomes obvious that as evidence should be considered: 1. Abnormal myometrial and fibroid stem cells show an increased response to estrogen and progesterone exposure, stimulating processes such as cell proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. 2. A number of tumor suppressor genes are abnormally hypermethylated in the LM when compared to normal myometrium, genes that form and regulate collagen, and a subset of estrogen receptor genes. 3. Multiple studies using microarray analysis or sequencing have demonstrated the existence of dysregulation of a number of protein-coding genes involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis, which are critical for the growth and progression of uterine fibroids. There are no reliable evidence base and do not provide an opportunity for practical application of clinically significant risk factors, the possibility of mathematical prediction of the growth of uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age. Data on the effect of the expression of a number of microRNAs on the growth of uterine fibroids in vivo are rather contradictory. The epigenetic processes of regulation and pathogenesis of the growth of leiofibromyomas in reproductive age have not been fully studied and substantiated. There are practically no data on predicting the growth of uterine fibroids in reproductive age, which will allow us to assess the risk of growth and determine further treatment tactics. Conclusion. Further work on the identification of specific genes, miRNAs, that are involved in the pathogenesis of LM may inspire the creation of new pathogenetic treatments.
