Results — The patients were distributed between two groups: Group 1 (without registration of composite endpoints, n=71) and Group 2 (patients with the development of composite endpoints, n=32). In Group 1, 22.5% of patients were diagnosed with DM vs. 31.2% in Group 2 (p=0.346). Kaplan-Meier estimator demonstrated that patients with duration of DM over 5 years experienced significantly earlier and more frequent adverse cardiovascular events after CABG vs. patients without DM or with duration of DM less than 5 years. The visfatin level before CABG did not differ between the groups (p=0.416), whereas 10 days after CABG it was higher in Group 2.

Chronic lung inflammation can be the result of a defect in the resolution of the inflammatory process caused by an imbalance between the synthesis of proinflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators. The identification of immunomodulatory effects of eicosanoids, specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), and endocannabinoids synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) allows taking a fresh look at the ways of controlling inflammation rather than solely at its mechanisms. The use of ω-3 PUFA-containing food supplements in combination with standard therapy leads to improved asthma control due to the ability of ω-3 PUFAs to stimulate SPM synthesis and inhibit intracellular signaling pathways of inflammation. Lipid mediators are agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) that have anti-inflammatory properties. The receptors that are widely expressed in the pulmonary epithelium, endothelium, dendritic cells, eosinophils, fibroblasts, and macrophages play an important role in the regulation of immunometabolic homeostasis in the bronchopulmonary system. Our review systematizes the published data on the properties and mechanism of action of biologically active ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs involved in the inflammatory process in asthma.

Methods — We examined 178 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of mild and moderate severity, 212 patients with controlled bronchial asthma (BA) and 60 apparently healthy volunteers. We assessed the cumulative response of the components of adaptive and innate immune systems to the effects of day-to-day variability in temperature, air pressure and humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation relative to the day of the patient’s medical examination ± 2 days. The response of the immune system was measured by an integral indicator calculated as the ratio of the sum of statistically significant correlations (p<0.05) to the total sum of correlation matrix elements. Results — The short-term compensatory severity and activity of the immune response to the weather in healthy people (∑D%=2.56; ∑r=117) was almost twice as high as the similar response in patients with COPD (∑D%=1.28; ∑r=72) or BA (∑D%=1.35; ∑r=69).

Objective — To examine the association of echocardiographic parameters with indications of immune inflammation in patients recovered from COVID-19 pneumonia depending on segmental longitudinal strain (LS) of the left ventricle (LV) identified by STE. Methods — Our study encompassed 216 patients (51.1% men, mean age of 50.1±11.1 years) distributed among two groups: Group I (n=108) included study subjects with segmental LS (≥3 LV segments) revealed by the STE; Group II (n=108) comprised patients without visually detectable LV lesions.

Results — Groups did not differ statistically significantly in terms of LV ejection fraction (68.7±4.3% in Group I vs. 68.6±4.3% in Group II; p=0.916). Global LS was significantly lower in the Group I than in the Group II at the time of the control follow-up visit three months later (-18.2 [-16.7; -19.4] % vs. -20.6 [-19.5; -22.1] %, respectively; p<0.001).

The objective of our study was to determine the sensitivity of individual symptoms and signs of chronic heart failure (CHF) and echocardiographic criteria for detecting fluid retention in patients with atrial fibrillation and invasively measured elevated atrial pressure. Methods — We conducted a prospective study of adult patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease or/and arterial hypertension in combination with atrial fibrillation [AF]) hospitalized for radiofrequency catheter ablation. All patients underwent expert ultrasound examination of the heart using Philips HD 15 and Philips iE33 devices, as well as invasive measurement of pressure in the left and right atria at rest (n=20). Results — The sensitivity of dyspnea in patients with paroxysmal AF and long-standing persistent AF was 44.4% and 90.9%, respectively. The sensitivity of the mean E/e' ratio in patients with paroxysmal AF and long-standing persistent AF was 22.2% and 18.1%, correspondingly. According to the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASE/EACVI) algorithm, only one patient (11.1%) in the group with paroxysmal AF and 54.5% of subjects in the group with a long-standing persistent AF type had two positive criteria. The sensitivity of lower limb edema was 0% in patients with paroxysmal AF and 57.1% in those with long-standing persistent AF. The sensitivity of IVC diameter >22 mm was 80% in patients with paroxysmal AF and 57.1% in the group with long-standing persistent AF. At the same time, the sensitivity of the IVC inspiratory collapse ≤50% was significantly lower in both groups: 60% in patients with paroxysmal AF and 42.9% in subjects with long-standing persistent AF. Conclusion — Clinical symptoms and signs of chronic heart failure (CHF), as well as echocardiographic parameters reflecting an increase in the filling pressure of the heart chambers, are characterized by extremely low sensitivity in a cohort of patients with paroxysmal AF. The use of more stringent criteria for diagnosing congestion in this group of patients leads to a significant underdiagnosis of elevated filling pressure in the left chambers of the heart, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of insufficient prescription of diuretic therapy when it is objectively necessary.","PeriodicalId":21426,"journal":{"name":"Russian Open Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44318473","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}
