Material and Methods — The study involved 10 healthy men 27 to 35 years of age. Reciprocal and presynaptic inhibition was evaluated by suppressing the amplitude of testing H-reflex of m. soleus under conditions of conditioning stimulation of n. peroneus profundus and testing stimulation of n. tibialis with interstimulus intervals of 3 ms and 100 ms, respectively. Reciprocal inhibition and presynaptic inhibition were recorded during a 20-minute tESCS in the area of T11-T12 thoracic vertebrae at rest, in combination with voluntary muscular effort (5% of the maximum voluntary contraction), and after the stimulation. Results — During 20-minute electrical stimulation of the spinal cord at rest, the severity of reciprocal inhibition decreased, inverting to reciprocal facilitation, while presynaptic inhibition weakened only at the twentieth minute of stimulation; and in the postactivation period, the activity of spinal inhibition processes in the antagonist muscle system corresponded to background values. The most pronounced effect of prolonged tESCS was observed when performing a weak isometric contraction, which was accompanied by an increase in reciprocal inhibition activity during 10 minutes of exposure and 10 minutes after the end of stimulation. The severity of presynaptic inhibition during and after the spinal cord stimulation remained unchanged and complied with background values. The presynaptic inhibition activity was expressed to a greater extent during prolonged stimulation of the spinal cord at rest, and when performing a weak voluntary effort, as well as during the postactivation period. Conclusion — Changes in the spinal inhibitory interactions in the system of antagonist muscles on the basis of tESCS effects during arbitrary muscle tension could probably be explained by the fact that in this case, the inhibitory interneuron circuits of spinal cord were exposed to a wider range supraspinally descending and ascending peripheral effects, compared with spinal cord stimulation in a state of a relative muscle rest.","PeriodicalId":21426,"journal":{"name":"Russian Open Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44254144","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 — The lipid, hormonal, cytokine and leukocyte composition of blood was studied in 15 women with normotrophic scars (Group 1) and 30 women with hypertrophic scars (Group 2). Blood was taken before treatment on days 5-7 of the menstrual cycle, followed by laser treatment. The clinical parameters of scars were assessed before treatment and 3 months after it, and two subgroups were identified: with a successful treatment outcome (2a) and with an unsuccessful outcome (2b). A retrospective analysis of blood composition was performed in each subgroup. The data were processed using the methods of nonparametric statistics. The differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. Results — At a successful treatment outcome, the clinical parameters of scars were associated with low estradiol level, high progesterone content and high number of segmented neutrophils. These changes create conditions for scar hypertrophy, but retain the body’s capability of responding to the treatment by inflammatory process with normotrophic scarring. At an unsuccessful treatment outcome, the scar hypertrophy was restored under conditions of low blood content of luteinizing hormone, and high levels of growth hormone and transforming growth factor β.

The activity of retroelements in the brain is impaired under the influence of SARS-CoV-2, penetrating the blood-brain barrier. We propose a new concept, according to which the neurological complications of COVID-19 and their long-term effects are caused by modified expression of retroelements in neurons due to viral effect. This effect is implemented in several ways: a direct effect of the virus on the promoter regions of retroelement-encoding genes, virus interaction with miRNAs causing silencing of transposons, and an effect of the viral RNA on the products of retroelement transcription. Aging-related physiological activation of retroelements in the elderly is responsible for more severe course of COVID-19. The associations of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis with coronavirus lesions also indicate the role of retroelements in such complications, because retroelements are involved in the mechanisms of the development of these diseases. According to meta-analyses, COVID-19-caused neurological complications ranged 36.4-73%. The neuropsychiatric consequences of COVID-19 are observed in patients over a long period after recovery, and their prevalence may exceed those during the acute phase of the disease. Even 12 months after recovery, unmotivated fatigue, headache, mental disorders, and neurocognitive impairment were observed in 82%, 60%, 26.2-45%, and 16.2-46.8% of patients, correspondingly. These manifestations are explained by the role of retroelements in the integration of SARS-CoV-2 into the human genome using their reverse transcriptase and endonuclease, which results in a long-term viral persistence. The research on the role of specific retroelements in these changes can become the basis for developing targeted therapy for neurological consequences of COVID-19 using miRNAs, since epigenetic changes in the functioning of the genome in neurons, affected by transposons, are reversible.","PeriodicalId":21426,"journal":{"name":"Russian Open Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47714819","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}

Methods — The study included 240 patients 40–70 years of age with CHF. All patients were divided into four groups: 69 CHF patients with preserved ejection fraction (CHFpEF), 91 CHF patients with reduced ejection fraction (CHFrEF), 36 COPD patients with CHFpEF and 44 COPD patients with CHFrEF. All participants underwent echocardiography, six-minute walk test (6MWT), the results of which were compared with the predicted six-minute walk distance: 6МWD (i). Additionally, we assessed the levels of NT-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) in patient blood samples. Results — Patients with CHFpEF had higher levels of hs-CRP and proinflammatory cytokines as compared with patients with CHFrEF. The levels of NT-proBNP were higher in patients with COPD and CHF, compared with patients with CHF alone. A negative effect of COPD on the functional status of CHF patients with different EF values was established by the lower 6MWT values and 6MWD/6MWD ratio (i). An increase in the level of suppression of tumorigenicity 2 soluble forms (sST2) was noted in patients with COPD and CHF as compared with the isolated course of cardiac pathology patients.

Objective — To compare the prevalence of metabolic disorders and signs of cardiovascular remodeling in young and middle-aged men with \"metabolically healthy\" and \"metabolically neutral\" obesity. Material and methods — observational sample survey of 590 men aged 38.5±5.6 years was conducted. Average body weight was assessed on301 men (the control group). Obesity was determined in 289 patients: among them, the criteria for metabolic syndrome were diagnosed for 134 study participants, metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) was diagnosed in 155 men, and 86 patients from MHO with leptin levels <3.5 ng/ml constituted metabolically neutral obesity group. All patients were evaluated by a lipidogram, adipokine, glycemic profiles, and ultrasound examination of the heart and carotid arteries. Results — Criteria for metabolically neutral abdominal obesity in men were determined: weight gain >30 kg/m2 in the presence of no more than two criteria for metabolic syndrome and leptin level <3.5 ng/ml. The metabolically neutral type was characterized by a better lipid profile, which was confirmed by a lower frequency of dyslipidemia (1.7 times); the frequency of prediabetes was 7% and was half as low as in metabolically healthy obesity; atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries was 1.5 times less common in the neutral type of obesity.
