A woman, born in 1989, applied to the Medical Center Universal Clinic “Oberig” with a diagnosis of stage IV sigmoid colon cancer pT4N2M1 with synchronous liver metastases after sigmoidectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient underwent surgical intervention to the extent of right-sided hemihepatectomy with total caudate lobectomy, enucleation of metastases from the left liver lobe, cholecystectomy, extended lymphadenectomy, followed by systemic antitumor therapy. Six months later, according to laboratory and instrumental examinations, the progression of the disease was revealed in the form of new metastases development in the left liver lobe. After a thorough examination, a decision was made to treat the patient by living-related partial liver transplantation. On February 16, 2021, the patient underwent orthotopic transplantation of the left liver lobe from a living-related donor. The patient was discharged on the 31st postoperative day in a satisfactory condition. According to a control MRI after discharge, no signs of disease progression were detected. In the post-transplantation period, the patient developed an acute steroid-resistant rejection requiring antiplatelet immunoglobulin prescription. Three months after discharge, the patient was diagnosed with a high stricture of the bilio-biliary anastomosis, so resections of liver segment IV, hepaticocholedochus, and bihepaticojejunostomy on a defunctionalized Roux loop of the small intestine were performed. In the post-transplantation period, no signs of disease progression were detected, and no special antitumor treatment was used.\u0000Conclusions. Liver transplantation is an effective and radical method of treatment for patients with unresectable liver metastatic colorectal cancer.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76505083","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}

Many patients with diabetes complicated by ineffectively treated foot ulcer undergo limb amputation which leads to disability. Therefore, finding and applying effective methods of treating diabetic ulcers in clinical practice is an urgent task. According to recent research, the most effective and complementary to known treatment approaches are rehabilitation methods, but not all of them have been sufficiently studied.\u0000Aim: to study the effectiveness of the treatment for diabetic foot syndrome in patients with diabetes when implementing the use of polarizing light with a Bioptron device and kinesiotherapy exercises according to the Buerger–Allen method into the treatment process.\u0000Materials and methods. 35 patients with diabetes mellitus complicated with diabetic foot syndrome were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group (MG) (n = 17) received standard treatment in accordance with the protocol for providing medical care to patients with diabetic foot syndrome, whereas the comparison group (CG) (n = 18) received light therapy procedures with the Bioptron device in addition to the protocol treatment and kinesiotherapy exercises according to the Buerger–Allen method.\u0000To choose treatment tactics and predict the course of the disease, the bone-brachial index was determined. The ulcer area was determined by means of the imitoMeasure application for the Android operating system. Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Analysis and processing of clinical trial statistics were performed on a personal computer using Statistica 10 and MS Excel 2016 application packages.\u0000Results. Our results have shown that a single-day reduction of a wound defect in the MG was approximately 1 % per day, and in the patients of the CG who, in addition to the standard therapy, received polarized light therapy and kinesiotherapy exercises according to the Buerger–Allen method, from 3 % to 4 % per day. Using the Bayesian formula, the probability of complete ulcer healing in the CG was calculated, that was 0.3 compared to the MG – 0.06, indicating greater treatment effectiveness with the inclusion of additional non-drug rehabilitation methods. An assessment of the quality of life indicators in diabetic patients with diabetic foot syndrome after using different treatment schemes has confirmed the effectiveness of the new method based on the obtained significant difference between the studied indicators in the MG and CG according to the Mann-Whitney criterion (Р ˂ 0.05) with regard to the following components: physical functioning, role functioning, pain, general health, and emotional functioning. According to the obtained statistical results, the best effect was observed in the CG with the additional use of polarizing light and kinesiotherapy.\u0000Conclusions.

To evaluate the content of calprotectin and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in feces of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).\u0000Materials and methods. 61 patients (33 men and 28 women) with IBD aged 20 to 66 years (the mean indicator was 41.80 ± 1.14 years) were examined. The patients were treated in the Department of Intestinal Diseases of SI “Institute of Gastroenterology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. All the patients were divided into two groups: Group I – 46 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Group II – 15 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). The control group consisted of 10 practically healthy people (donors).\u0000Calprotectin detection in fecal samples was carried out using a kit “Immundiagnostik”, Germany. Fecal VFAs were analyzed using a hardware-software complex for medical research with a gas chromatograph Chromatek-Crystal 5000.\u0000Results. A significant increase in the content of fecal calprotectin was found. Its amount depended on the disease nosology and was more expressed in patients with UC (3.5 times higher (P < 0.05) than that in patients with CD). The observed changes were accompanied by an increase in the content of propionic (C3) acid and a decrease in acetic (C2), butyric (C4) acids in coprofiltrates of the examined patients. The detected imbalance in the fecal content of VFAs in patients led to an increase in the amount of fatty acids, which was more pronounced in patients with CD. An association between calprotectin levels and fecal VFA content was identified. Thus, correlation analysis allowed to establish a relationship between calprotectin levels and propionic acid content in patients with IBD (r = 0.370; P = 0.046).\u0000Conclusions. In the case of active bowel inflammation, there is the increase in the fecal content of calprotectin and the decrease in VFAs (acetic and butyric acids) in accordance with the degree of disease activity, which allows the use of these indicators to assess the efficacy of therapies.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91272630","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 investigate the relationship between the physical properties of saliva and enamel resistance and caries intensity in drug-addicted patients.\u0000Materials and methods. The study involved 70 patients, who were divided into three groups: the main group (1) – 28 drug addicts diagnosed with caries, the comparison group (2) – 22 patients with caries of dental hard tissues without a history of drug addiction, and the control group (3) – 20 persons without carious lesions of dental hard tissues. We examined the rate of salivation, which was calculated by the formula: Rs = V / T, pH of oral fluid using litmus test strips (Kelilong Instruments, China), structural and functional stability of tooth enamel by the express method TER-test (V. R. Okushko, L. I. Kosareva, 1983), clinically assessed the rate of mineralization according to the Clinical Assessment of the Rate of Enamel Remineralization-test (T. L. Redinova, V. K. Leontiev and G. D. Ovrutsky, 1982), dental caries intensity using the DMF index; the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) was used to assess of the dental hard tissues.\u0000Results. In drug-addicted patients with caries of dental hard tissues, the slowest rate of salivation and significant changes in the oral fluid pH toward acidic were observed, namely 5.5 ± 0.09 units compared with patients of other groups. In drug addicts, the average TER-test score was 9.1 ± 0.4 points and was significantly higher than that in non-drug-addicted patients with dental caries (5.4 ± 0.2 points) and people without dental caries (1.9 ± 0.2 points). The Clinical Assessment of the Rate of Enamel Remineralization-test indicators of drug-addicted patients (6.1 ± 0.3 days) were also significantly higher than those of non-addicted and control group patients. The DMF index in drug-addicted patients was 16.4 ± 0.2 points showing a very high intensity of caries with a large proportion of deep carious lesions in the dental hard tissues.\u0000Conclusions. In drug addicts, the study results have indicated a 23 % pH shift of the oral fluid toward acidic, and a 22 % decrease in the rate of saliva secretion has also been recorded compared to the healthy individuals. These results were associated with a 79 % decrease in the tooth enamel durability and a 66 % decrease in the remineralizing capacity of the oral fluid in drug addicts as compared to the healthy individuals. The DMF index of group 1 patients differed from that of group 2 patients by 50 % and from group 3 individuals – by 98 %. Drug-addicted patients had 78 % more carious lesions in the dentin compared to non-drug-addicted patients with dental caries.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80471450","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}

We examined 197 pregnant women with NAFLD at the stage of NASH in combination with obesity. The main group I consisted of 98 pregnant women with NAFLD at the stage of NASH with varying degrees of obesity, who were divided into 3 subgroups depending on body mass index (BMI). Among them, 26 pregnant women with BMI of 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 were included in IA group, 48 pregnant women with BMI of 30.0–34.9 kg/m2 were included in IB group, and 24 pregnant women with BMI of 35.0–39.9 kg/m2 – in IC group. All pregnant women in the main group were prescribed complex therapy including vitamin E at a dose of 400 IU/day, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day, and L-carnitine at a dose of 3 g per day. The comparison group consisted of 69 women with NAFLD at the stage of NASH and abdominal obesity, who corresponded to subgroups of the main group (IIA – 23 patients, IIB – 25 women, IIC – 21 pregnant women) and received basic therapy. The control group consisted of 30 healthy women. To evaluate the cytokine profile, levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were determined by ELISPOT.\u0000Results. Analysis of the cytokine profile in women with NASH and obesity showed the presence of systemic inflammation links in the examined groups, which was manifested by increased levels of pro-inflammatory and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory interleukins in blood serum of pregnant women. A prescription of the complex treatment contributed to a decreased activity of the inflammatory response, which was manifested by an improvement in the levels of cytokine profile indicators.\u0000Conclusions. NASH during pregnancy is accompanied by significant changes in the cytokine profile. The prescription of complex therapy in the form of vitamin E, UDCA and L-carnitine is effective in the treatment of pregnant women with NAFLD at the stage of NASH due to cumulative and potentiating effects, reducing manifestations of systemic inflammation by normalizing the level of cytokines.","PeriodicalId":23832,"journal":{"name":"Zaporozhye Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84609232","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}

The objects of the study – 3 % CDWE, museum strains of the ATCC collection and clinical cultures of microorganisms: A. baumannii, S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans. Native and formalinized human erythrocytes of 0(I) Rh-positive blood group were used as a substrate for adhesion. A smear was prepared from each sample, which was stained by the Romanovsky–Giemsa method. According to the results of smear microscopy, the adhesion index of microorganisms (AIM) was calculated.\u0000Results. A preliminary study of the adhesion ability of museum and clinical strains of microorganisms revealed that all cultures possessed highly adhesive properties. The addition of 3 % CDWE significantly inhibited their adhesive properties. Thus, in studies with museum strains, it was found that the AIM of S. aureus was decreased by 59.47 %, K. pneumonia – by 59.17 %, E. coli – by 56.32 %, P. aeruginosa – by 48.70 %, A. baumannii – by 49.77 %, C. albicans – by 51.59 %.
