To study the pathogenic effect in the MYBPC3 splice-site variant in the patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Materials and methods. The study was conducted using a DNA sample obtained from a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in whom a previously undescribed variant was identified in the splice donor site of intron 21. The methods used included constructing and cloning of minigenes (vector pSpl3-Flu2-TKdel) and transfection of a human cell culture (HEK293T), followed by isolation of mRNA, production of cDNA, PCR of the minigene region containing the analyzed fragment, agarose gel electrophoresis, and Sanger sequencing. Results. The chr11:47339649-A-C (hg38) variant, disrupting the splice donor site in intron 21 (NM_000256.3: c.2067+2T>G), was identified in the 23-year-old patient with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. To directly analyze the effect of this variant on splicing, a vector containing exon 21, intron 21, exon 22, and partially introns 20 and 22 of the MYBPC3 gene was obtained. A comparison of mRNAs from the minigenes containing / not containing the variant showed that the chr11:47339649-A-C substitution led to exon 21 and exon 22 skipping during splicing. Conclusion. The study established the functional significance of the previously undescribed variant c.2067+2T>G in the MYBPC3 gene, resulting in disruption of the mRNA splicing mechanism in the patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This variant can be classified as pathogenic.","PeriodicalId":256912,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Siberian Medicine","volume":"142 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141656144","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}

Currently, universally accepted methods for early cancer diagnosis are not available, primarily due to low molecular specificity of pathological changes at early stages of cancer development. Additionally, the existing diagnostic modalities are notably limited in sensitivity. However, early detection is imperative for selection of the most suitable cancer treatment strategy and its successful implementation. In the realm of oncology, mass spectrometry approaches show great potential for advancement and utilization. Mass spectrometry is becoming an indispensable tool in basic and applied research due to its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. It allows for efficient analysis of complex biological compounds, even at low concentrations. Moreover, contemporary mass spectrometry technology is capable of automating the analysis, thereby facilitating its diverse clinical applications in diagnosis, drug therapy selection, and even potential assistance to surgical oncologists in the operating room. Considering all these characteristics and advantages, mass spectrometry methods for the analysis of biological samples can be defined as some of the most promising and dynamically developing tools in precision medicine, as they are capable of providing clinically valuable information based on omics technologies, taking into account personal characteristics of the patient. Over the next decade, introduction of mass spectrometry-based methods into clinical practice based on the principles of precision medicine is expected to optimize selection of personalized treatment strategies for cancer patients and provide significant economic benefits by reducing morbidity, disability, and mortality.This comprehensive review presents the analysis of 65 scientific publications, highlighting the results of clinical and experimental studies utilizing mass spectrometry methods for diagnosing cancer, investigating the underlying mechanisms of disease development, and evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. The review encompasses original articles published from January 1, 2018 to November 30, 2023. The majority of studies back the potential of mass spectrometry as a valuable tool for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Broadening application of mass spectrometry techniques in the field of oncology holds significant promise and represents a relevant area for future research.","PeriodicalId":256912,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Siberian Medicine","volume":"56 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141658152","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}

Neurogenic bladder often is a common symptom of the disease. Young people with MS often have to make treatment and family planning decisions at the same time. The possibility of realizing reproductive plans is closely related to urological complications of the disease, high risk of urinary tract infections, and sexual dysfunction. In addition, disease modifying therapies for MS play a significant role in increasing the likelihood of infectious complications. Therefore, the issue of infection prevention in MS is critical. Effective personalized prevention of urogenital infections is possible with a clear understanding of the microbiota composition. DNA sequencing methods have changed the conventional idea that normal urine is sterile and gave rise to the concepts of asymptomatic bacteriuria in healthy people. Moreover, data on the genitourobiome of patients with neurological diseases have recently emerged. Extended knowledge about the microbiology in the genitourinary system of neurological patients is necessary to unleash the capacity of health-preserving technologies. The aim of the review was to integrate currently available data concerning the microbiocenosis of the lower urinary tract and vagina with underlying neurogenic pelvic dysfunction, including MS, as well as to present data on the association between closely located biotopes and the effect of MS therapy on the risks of developing genitourinary infections.

Articles were selected that describe studies involving the following monkey species: cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), baboons (Papio sp.), grivets (Cercopithecus aethiops), and common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). The development of various metabolic syndrome criteria was demonstrated in all monkey species reviewed. Many similarities with humans were revealed: macaques with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus demonstrated an increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids and a decrease in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Obesity and insulin resistance were precursors to impaired carbohydrate metabolism. Blood pressure increased along with the progression of insulin resistance. The similarity of genetic and environmental risk factors between humans and monkeys is important in the development of metabolic syndrome. The reviewed data suggest that the use of monkeys in biomedical research remains an indispensable resource for the study of pathogenesis and assessment of the efficacy and safety of new therapeutic strategies targeting clinically important metabolic diseases, including obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and, possibly, other conditions associated with metabolic syndrome.","PeriodicalId":256912,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Siberian Medicine","volume":"134 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141656397","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 evaluate the prognostic value of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) for predicting 18-month all-cause mortality and develop a nomogram for predicting 18-month mortality in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Materials and methods. The prospective, single-center, observational study included 712 consecutive patients with acute MI undergoing coronary angiography within 24 hours after hospitalization. The primary endpoint was 18-month all-cause mortality. The logistic regression analysis was adopted to identify independent prognostic factors. A nomogram for predicting the endpoint was developed using the multivariate analysis. The discriminative ability of the CCI and a nomogram were evaluated using the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results. Of the patients, 61% were male, median age was 65 years (interquartile range (IQR) was 56–74 years). Median CCI was 4 (IQR: 3–6) points. The mortality rate was 12.1% at 18 months with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.797 for CCI (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.746–0.849; p < 0.001).
