Materials and methods. Abstracts of reports for scientific researches (39) and researches (79) conducted in Ukraine in 2001–2017, research informational and innovational resources provided in record cards, their semantic, informational, scientometric, bibliometric, patent, statistical analysis methods; pediatric endocrinologist surveys (50). Results and discussion. It has been established that, in economic aspect, transfer of technology can be commercial and non-commercial. In the area of children and adolescents health care, non-commercial transfer is primarily used, instrument of which is scientific technical information: scientific and occupational journals, their databases and databanks, patent publications, reference books, reports and contributions to conferences, workshops, symposiums, trade shows, internship of scientists and specialists in universities and organizations; scientific technical information exchange. It has been established that implementation of new methods of prevention, diagnostics, treatment and organizational decision-making in the area of pediatric endocrinology includes three major steps: acquisition of primary information on medical technologies through means of scientific communication; organization of their implementation at a workplace and handling of material, technical, legal, financial and personnel issues as to their use (making an appropriate agreement), as well as designer supervision. We have conducted informational and analytical evaluation of research process and non-commercial transfer of knowledge and technology in pediatric endocrinology in Ukraine in 2001–2017. Analysis of researches indicates an increase in scientific research and research quantity (1.5 times), shows their topical direction, indicates structure of created scientific product (publications, intellectual property items, guidance documents etc.), and establishes ways of scientific result usage by pediatric endocrinologists. Conclusions. In Ukraine, there is a stable process of research in essential directions of pediatric endocrinology. Appropriate informational and innovational resources are being generated. However, their usage by specialists is associated with a number of outstanding issues, including development of a conceptual construct, imperfection of channels for transferring scientific product to the professional community, absence of methodology for assessment of non-commercial transfer of medical technology. Further research of this issue will help to improve transfer of knowledge and technology not only in separate areas of pediatric endocrinology, but in children and adolescents health care in general.","PeriodicalId":243962,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116216232","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}

Materials and methods. We examined 40 adolescent girls, aged 14–18 years, with HMS against the background of uterine hypoplasia, particularly those with oligomenorrhea (OM) and secondary amenorrhea (SA), vitamin E level in whose blood serum we had determined before and after the 2 weeks of treatment. Patients were subjected to background therapy and ultraphonophoresis (UP) of vitamin E. Results and discussion. In the process of follow-up study we identified a correction of tocopherol level in blood serum of patients with HMS: increase in frequency of normal indices and decrease in that of low ones. Moreover, during background therapy this is observed mostly in girls with OM, while during treatment with UP of vitamin E it is evident mostly in those with SA. With background therapy positive dynamics of change in tocopherol level are more frequently registered in girls with ineffective treatment, while in case of using UP of vitamin E they are more often registered in patients with effective treatment. Conclusions. Using non-hormonal methods in treatment of adolescent girls with HMS against the background of uterine hypoplasia leads to positive dynamics of change in concentration of vitamin E, which in turn contributes to emergence of menstruations in every third girl in case of background therapy and in 61% of them in case of UP of vitamin E.","PeriodicalId":243962,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128101053","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 the article we present an example of our own examination of two patients from different families, with different GD clinical picture, but with a common trait of pronounced dwarfism resistant to treatment with growth hormone. In the course of usual endocrine tests there has been no primary endocrine pathology detected. We have conducted genetic research in each family by method of exomic sequencing. In both patients we have identified de novo FBN1 heterozygous mutations p.Tyr1696Asp and p.Cys1748Ser. Both children had common clinical symptoms, such as pronounced dwarfism, distinctive facial features, short limbs, as well as joint contractures. However, in one patient we have identified heart pathology, while the other had tracheal stenosis, requiring tracheostomy. Patients with pronounced dwarfism, skeletal anomalies and other specific syndromes (such as tracheal stenosis and heart anomalies) have to undergo genetic testing in order to exclude syndromes of acromelic dysplasia.","PeriodicalId":243962,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122162992","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}

Матеріали та методи. Оцінено характер ФР у дітей та підлітків 6—18 років (179 дівчат і 128 хлопців), які постраждали від збройного конфлікту на сході України і звернулися по медичну допомогу в ДУ «ІОЗДП НАМНУ» протягом 2015—2018 рр. З урахуванням віку та рівня статевого розвитку на початок антитерористичної операції (АТО) сформовано групи: дитинство (6—8 років); препубертат (9—10 років); ранній пубертат (11—13 років); власне пубертат (14—16 років); пізній пубертат (17—18 років). Математична обробка отриманих результатів проведена за допомогою пакетів програм SPSS Statistics 17,0, Excel. Результати та обговорення. Встановлено залежність між характером ФР, статтю і віком на момент початку збройного конфлікту (квітень 2014 р.). У віддаленому катамнезі дисгармонійний ФР найчастіше визначали у дітей, вік яких в 2014 р. склав менше 7 років (66,7 %), за ознаками низького зросту у хлопчиків та надмірної ваги у дівчаток. У хлопчиків, яким у 2014 р. було 9—10 років, навпаки, вдвічі частіше, ніж у дівчаток-однолітків визначали надмірну масу тіла (42,9 % і 27,6 % відповідно). Саме в цій віковій групі в динаміці спостереження діагностовано ускладнений перебіг ожиріння. Встановлено, що найчастішою формою порушення ФР у підлітків обох статей була надмірна вага. Дефіцит маси тіла виявляли значно рідше, переважно у хлопців, яким у 2014 р. було 11—13 років (14,6 %). Висновки.

Results and discussion. In presence of stress there is a verifiable increase of cortisol concentration in children and adolescents from the JFO zone and in migrants, when compared to adolescents without stress. We have identified in adolescent migrants a decrease of GPO activity and an increase of melatonin level in presence of stress. In absence of stress there is in adolescents from the JFO zone a noted decrease in level of urinary excretion of adrenaline. In migrants we have identified a reverse tendency. Conclusions.
