The work was based on the result analysis of surgical treatment for 691 patients with strangulated abdominal hernias without resection of a hollow organ, who were divided into 2 groups depending on the specifics of diagnostic and therapeutic tactics, and into 2 subgroups depending on the localization of strangulated hernias. For patients of group 2, in contrast to group 1, the following diagnostic tactics: mandatory and justified laparoscopic intra-abdominal assessment of the strangulated organ condition; mandatory physicochemical intraoperative assessment of the hernial fluid condition; mandatory intraoperative instrumental assessment of the strangulated organ condition; as well as the therapeutic tactics: mandatory use of a comprehensive fast-track program; expansion of indications for laparoscopic surgery were used. The clinical and diagnostic algorithms included laboratory, instrumental and biochemical methods of examination.\u0000Results. It has been found that the proposed diagnostic and therapeutic tactics in group 2 patients with strangulated abdominal hernias without hollow organ resection, in contrast to group 1 patients, allowed to increase the number of laparoscopic operations by 51.15 % as well as the number of surgical interventions using fast-track technology by 51.21 %. This was accompanied by a decrease in complications according to the Clavien-Dindo scale from 83 (24.56 %) in group 1 patients to 39 (11.05 %) in group 2 patients. In addition, in group 2 patients, in contrast to group 1, a decrease in the acute pain severity in the early postoperative period and chronic pain according to the sf-IPQ in the late postoperative period has been revealed.\u0000Conclusions. The indication expansion for fast-track technologies in group 2 patients with strangulated abdominal hernias without hollow organ resection has allowed using these procedures in 238 (67.23 %) cases, while there were only 54 (16.02 %) such cases in group 1 patients. The proposed diagnostic and therapeutic tactics in group 2 patients with strangulated abdominal hernias without hollow organ resection, in contrast to group 1 patients, have enabled an increase in the number of laparoscopic operations from 16.27 % in group 1 patients to 67.42 % in group 2, which was accompanied by a decrease in postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo scale from 24.56 % to 11.05 %.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91098806","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}

Despite the undoubted achievements, there is a risk of postoperative complications.\u0000The aim of the work was to study the intensity and duration of the wound healing phases after surgical treatment of spontaneous periodontitis accompanied by normo-, hyper- or hyporeactivity of the body by bone morphometry.\u0000Materials and methods. Wistar rats were selected for the study ‒ 90 nonlinear white adult male rats weighing 270 ± 58 grams, aged 11–12 months with spontaneous periodontitis. The animals were divided into three equal groups depending on the condition of their organism reactivity. All the animals underwent surgery on the periodontium: one half of the animals in each of the three groups underwent flap operations, the other – flap operations with osteoplasty (Kolapan-L, Hypro-sorb F). The specific weight of microhemocirculatory bed, connective tissue and bone granulation tissue, bone trabeculae, bone marrow cavities, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells was studied by a morphometric method.\u0000Results. Morphometric study of bone wound preparations from animals with spontaneous periodontitis accompanied by normoreactivity of the body has allowed to identify the following phases of healing during the wound process: degenerative-inflammatory changes (the 10th day), an increase in reparative processes (the 20th day) and active regeneration (the 30th day). In cases of hyper- and hyporeactivity, the intensity and duration of the wound healing phases differed. In case of hyperreaction, the granulocyte-macrophage reaction was more expressed and lasted longer until the 20th day, therefore later, only on the 30th day, the signs of regeneration could be observed. In case of hyporeaction, the granulocyte reaction appeared later (only on the 20th day) and lasted longer, signs of active regeneration were noticed later, on the 30th day. The identified patterns occurred regardless of the absence or presence of osteoplastic material in a wound.\u0000Conclusions. In case of normoreactivity, the intensity and timing of the wound process phases were optimal. In case of impaired (hyper- and hypo-) reactions, altered intensity of the cellular phase (increased or decreased) and terms (accelerated or slowed down) resulted in delayed bone wound healing, that is, a complicated course was observed. It justifies the feasibility and necessity of developing methods of targeted drug correction for transforming the wound process phases with impaired body reactivity into those that are typical of normoreaction.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80956012","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}

Тo study the treatment result of unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer by the technique of transplantation.\u0000Case report. A man, born in 1963, applied to the Medical Center “Universal Clinic “Oberig” with a diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma pT3bN0M1 (hep) G2, synchronous colorectal liver metastases with multifocal bilobar lesions, stage IV after laparoscopic rectal extirpation and adjuvant FOLFIRI + Cetuximab polychemotherapy. Following a thorough examination of the patient, a decision was made to treat by transplanting a liver lobe graft donated by a living related donor (son).\u0000On April 12, 2022, the patient underwent orthotopic living related donor transplantation of the liver right lobe. In the early postoperative period, the patient developed an acute perforated ulcer of the small intestine, and he therefore was reoperated. The postoperative period was severe, but the condition stabilization was achieved with conservative treatment, and on the 38th postoperative day, the recipient was discharged from the hospital in a satisfactory condition.\u0000According to the control abdominal MRI during follow-up examinations, no signs of recurrence or progression were detected, however, 2 isolated metastatic foci in the lung parenchyma were detected bilaterally on the control CT scan of the chest 11 months after the liver lobe transplantation from the living related donor. Resection of metastatic foci was performed and systemic polychemotherapy was prescribed in that regard. Based on the control laboratory and instrumental examinations from 05.05.2023 (CT scan, MRI), there were no signs of the disease recurrence, the level of carcinoembryonic antigen was 1.5 ng/ml.\u0000Conclusions. Liver transplantation is an effective and radical method of treatment for patients with unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Transplantation using liver lobe from a living related donor in unresectable isolated liver metastases from colorectal cancer has advantages over all other methods and is safe for donors in highly specialized centers with sufficient experience in living related liver transplantation.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85357417","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}

According to recent studies, NAFLD and AF affect approximately 32 % and 0.51 % of the general population, respectively.\u0000Aim. To examine the association between NAFLD and AF by using the FibroTest-4 (FIB-4) and the NAFLD Fibrosis score (NFS) and measuring periostin levels.\u0000Materials and methods. In this study, we enrolled 96 patients diagnosed with NAFLD and divided them in two groups, the main group – 35 patients with NAFLD + AF and the control group – 61 patients with NAFLD alone. NFS and FIB-4 indices were calculated and serum periostin level was measured.\u0000Results. The NAFLD + AF group had higher levels of periostin (10.80 ± 1.60 ng/ml vs. 9.80 ± 1.75 ng/ml, p < 0.001) and higher NFS (-1.05 ± 1.46 vs. -2.65 ± 1.63, p < 0.001) and FIB-4 scores (1.34 ± 0.86 vs 1.07 ± 0.60, p = 0.048). Periostin has been found to be associated with the risk of NAFLD + AF with an OR of 2.079 (95 % CI: 1.418–3.048, p < 0.001). Similar results were with NFS (OR = 3.233, 95 % CI: 1.970–5.303, p < 0.001) and FIB-4 (OR = 2.498, 95 % CI: 1.109–5.627, p = 0.027). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed using three variables, NFS, FIB-4 and periostin, to determine their ability to distinguish between patients with NAFLD + AF and NAFLD alone. The results have shown that the NFS had the highest area under the curve (AUC) with a value of 0.868 (95 % CI: 0.792–0.943, p < 0.001), indicating excellent discriminatory ability. FIB-4 had an AUC of 0.651 (95 % CI: 0.537–0.765, p = 0.014), while periostin had an AUC of 0.759 (95 % CI: 0.660–0.858, p < 0.001).\u0000Conclusions. These findings have suggested a strong association between NAFLD and AF and highlighted the importance of considering AF as a potential complication in patients with NAFLD. Both the use of the FIB-4 and NFS indices and measurement of periostin levels have been proved to be effective in detecting this association.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82905398","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 non-invasive therapeutic approach in insulin therapy should overcome these barriers. The development of alternative methods of insulin delivery is a complex task of fundamental medicine and pharmacy. The availability of oral / nasal insulin helps millions of people with diabetes avoid daily burden of subcutaneous insulin injections.\u0000The aim of the work was to study the current state of the latest developments in alternative routes of insulin delivery, their technology, and clinical trials.\u0000Materials and methods. The latest publications of scientific research on non-invasive insulin delivery systems were the study objects. Content analysis, bibliosemantic, analytical, summarizing analyzes were used.\u0000Results. The smart insulin delivery systems and pain-reducing technologies have been developed over the years. For this, research was conducted on numerous materials and technologies, including nanoparticles, hydrogels, liposomes, ionic liquids or special devices.\u0000Several alternative delivery technologies have been identified to reduce pain (pain-reducing technologies): oral, inhaled, intranasal, buccal, transdermal, and long-acting injectable insulins, but with low frequency of use. Various modern technological approaches are applying, namely, chemical modification of insulin; mucoadhesion system; protease inhibitors; increased absorption; particle delivery systems. Smart insulin delivery technologies are based on different strategies, materials, and glucose-responsive synthesis and conversion, but a common “diffuse-type” insulin release mechanism is used. Innovations in insulin chemistry and formulations have shown improved clinical outcomes when used.\u0000Conclusions. Innovations in alternative insulin delivery systems include algorithms for continuous glucose monitoring systems, glucose-sensitive polymer matrices and biological structures with insulin. The introduction of non-invasive systems would contribute to an earlier start of insulin therapy on medical advice, ensuring better glycemic control and reducing the risk of complications, which are the main burden on the health care system. The use of insulin in the form of alternative delivery systems may also be promising in the prevention of type 1 diabetes and other diseases.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73419117","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}

In a large part of people, H. pylori causes gastroduodenal diseases, in particular, chronic antral gastritis and ulcer disease. The possible role of selenium in the course of chronic inflammatory H. pylori-associated pathology of the upper gastrointestinal tract in children has not yet been fully investigated and understood.\u0000The aim is to determine selenium plasma levels in children with Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract.\u0000Materials and methods. The study included 135 school-age children with Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, who made up the main study group (55 children with chronic gastritis (CG), 57 children with chronic gastroduodenitis (CGD), 23 children with duodenal ulcer (DU), and 20 practically healthy age-matched children were the comparison group. Quantitative measurements of plasma selenium were performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MS-ICP) on an Optima 2000 DV spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, USA).\u0000Results. The lowest level of plasma selenium was registered in children with H. pylori-negative DU (67.81 ± 2.67 μg/l), while in children with H. pylori-associated DU, its level was higher – 73.56 ± 2.34 μg/l (p < 0.05), however, it did not reach the level in children of the comparison group. A similar direction of changes in the selenium plasma concentration was observed in children with CGD: higher levels of selenium were detected in children with H. pylori-positive CGD compared to H. pylori-negative CGD (75.61 ± 2.48 μg/l and 70.99 ± 2.31 μg/l, respectively, p < 0.05).\u0000Conclusions. Significantly lower levels of plasma selenium in children with chronic destructive-inflammatory diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract were found, which could be explained by the acute phase of inflammation in the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum resulting in a decrease in selenium absorption. In H. pylori-positive children, the level of selenium was significantly higher compared to H. pylori-negative children indicating a possible role of selenium in the pathogenesis and further progression of H. pylori-associated diseases.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89088435","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}
