Objectives. To determine optimal inducer of platelet aggregation and to assess its prognostic significance in intensive therapy of patients with COVID-19 infection. Material and methods. 34 patients with new coronavirus infection were included in group 1, and 30 healthy women were included in group 2. The study of platelet aggregation was carried out by the turbidimetric method with AP2110 analyzer (SOLAR, Results. The area under the aggregation curve was statistically significantly greater in patients in group 1 when using an ADP inducer at a dose of 0.3 μg/ml (69.1 (27.3; 164.4) unit in comparison with 55.3 (31.5; 68.2) units in group 2, p<0.001). When using an ADP inducer in high concentrations of 1.25 and 2.5 μg/ml and an adrenaline inducer in concentrations of 2.5 and 5 μM, the area under the curve in patients with COVID-19 infection was statistically significantly lower compared to group 2. The area under the aggregation curve according to the Hosmer-Lemeshov criterion has been found to be an independent predictor of death in the intensive care unit (Chi-square=5.074, p=0.06 for ADP 0.3 μg/ml and Chi square=15.121, p=0.057 for ADP 0.6 μg/ml). Conclusions. A comparative analysis of platelet aggregation using inducers of ADP, adrenaline and collagen has shown that in patients with new coronavirus infection, the degree of coagulation imbalance should be determined according to the indications obtained with an ADP inducer at a dose of 0.3 and 0.6 μg/ml.","PeriodicalId":23571,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik of Vitebsk State Medical University","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80500213","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}

To assess the peculiarities of diagnosis and clinical course of tuberculosis in children and adolescents. Material and methods. Retrospective analysis of outpatient records of children and adolescents with tuberculosis in Vitebsk region during the period from 2016 to 2020 was made. Results. In the tuberculous disease structure in children and adolescents, pulmonary tuberculosis (infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis) prevails. In the majority of cases, tuberculosis was diagnosed during adolescence. Almost all of the sick had close family contact with tuberculosis patients. The medical risk group included 25% of patients. In patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis, symptoms and changes in the total blood count were observed only in the phase of disintegration and seeding. Bacteriological excreters made up 75% of cases. More than half of children and adolescents with tuberculosis had multidrug resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis. Immunodiagnosing plays an important role in the detection of tuberculosis in children and adolescents. Among the sick children, only extrapulmonary forms of tuberculosis were recorded. Conclusions. Most often, tuberculosis in children and adolescents affects the respiratory organs and is asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic. 75% of patients were bacteria discharging persons, more than half of them having multidrug resistance. Family contact is of great importance in tuberculosis in children and adolescents. Doctors of all specialties need to have phthisiatric alertness in relation to patients with diseases of various localization resistant to nonspecific therapy, especially to persons with chronic diseases and to those who contact with patients suffering from tuberculosis.

The results of numerous studies have shown the relationship between the immune system and bacterial biofilms. The effect of the links of humoral and cellular immunity on the matrix of biofilms or some of its components has been described. Neutrophils, that play a key role in phagocytosis rank first in antibiofilm immunity. However, it has been shown that the polysaccharide matrix of biofilms reduces phagocytosis by inhibiting the phagocytic clearance of biofilm bacteria. Bacteria of biofilms have become able to use many protective reactions of the immune system, designed to fight with microorganisms for their own purposes for development, growth, nutrition. For example, lysozyme enhanced the adhesion of S. aureus to the surface, triggering biofilm formation. Several studies have shown the destruction of biofilms when exposed to blood serum. Other studies have demonstrated the activation of the complement system in the presence of biofilm.","PeriodicalId":23571,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik of Vitebsk State Medical University","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82004050","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}

A root fracture is a fracture that involves cementum, dentin, periodontium and, in some cases, dental pulp. Root fractures occur in 0.2-7% of all cases of permanent teeth injuries. The aim of the study was to investigate clinical effectiveness of using a material based on hydroxyapatite «Bioplast-Dent» paste and a material based on mineral trioxide aggregate - «Rutsil» in the treatment of a transverse fracture of the medial tooth root 4.6 (clinical case). The object of the study was a patient with a fracture of the medial tooth root 4.6 and destructive processes in the tissues of the apical periodontium of tooth 4.6, who applied to the Chair of Restorative Dentistry with the course of the Faculty for Advanced Training & Retraining of «VSMU» in 2019. Temporary obturation of the root canals of the root of tooth 4.6 was performed using the material based on hydroxyapatite «Bioplast-Dent» in the form of a paste. Permanent obturation of the root canals of the root of tooth 4.6 was carried out using domestic material based on mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - «Rutsil». The final restoration of the tooth crown was carried out after X-ray control from the moment of permanent obturation of the root canals in 3 months. Additionally, dynamic R-control was performed in 12 months. The results of the treatment have shown that the use of hydroxyapatite-containing paste and domestic material based on mineral trioxide aggregate - «Rutsil» brings about activation of osteogenesis in periodontal tissues and stops the process of resorption in the fracture line, shortening the time of bone tissue recovery and contributing to a greater success of treatment.","PeriodicalId":23571,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik of Vitebsk State Medical University","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73841628","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 object of the study was a herbicide based on picolinafen (CAS No. 37641-05-5). The content in the preparation is 21 g/l. The treatment was carried out by spraying wheat at a consumption rate of 3.5 l/ha and a working solution of 250 l/ha. The risk assessment for employees was carried out in accordance with the current technical regulatory legal acts. The toxic effect in a subacute experiment was studied with daily intragastric administration of picolinafen-based herbicide to male white rats for 28 days. At the end of the experiment the indices of the blood morphofunctional state, as well as those of hormonal and biochemical status were determined. Results. In the field, when carrying out mechanical treatments in compliance with the regulations for the use of the drug, there was no excess of the hygienic standards of the active substance in the air of the working area and there was no deterioration in working conditions. The total risk of dermal and inhalation exposure for the workers made up 0.015 and did not exceed the permissible level. The introduction of the herbicide based on picolinafen in a subacute experiment to rats at doses of 50.0, 300.0 and 900.0 mg/kg does not contribute to the development of lethal outcomes. According to the classification this preparation belongs to the substances with weakly expressed cumulation. However, the effect of a dose of 900.0 mg/kg of the drug initiated a statistically significant decrease in the relative coefficients of the liver mass by 12.5%, an increase in the content of leukocytes and platelets by 15.7% and 15.5%, respectively, against the background of a decreased average volume of platelets by 18,6%. Conclusions. The research results made it possible to evaluate the picolinafen-based herbicide as a drug with an acceptable risk for workers in the agro-industrial complex.
