A review of domestic and foreign literature on the prevalence and modern methods of diagnosis and treatment of VVA was carried out.Results. Unlike vasomotor symptoms, VVA progresses with age, causing a significant impairment in women’s quality of life. Symptoms usually begin to bother perimenopausal patients, but their frequency and severity increase significantly in postmenopausal women. Diagnosis of VVA can present some difficulties, as many women perceive their condition as a natural manifestation of aging and do not seek medical care. Currently, drug and non-drug therapies for VVA have been proposed, each of which has its own characteristics, indications, and contraindications. However, the safety and effectiveness of some of them have not been fully proven.Conclusion. VVA is common in periand postmenopausal women. Modern aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with VVA symptoms.

To study changes in the brachial – ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), ankle – brachial index (ABI), diastolic function, and global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle (LV) 3 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia.Materials and methods. The dynamics of vascular age and LV global longitudinal strain was studied in 154 patients 3 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia (51 ± 12 years, 48% were women). The control group consisted of 55 sexand age-matched individuals.Results. During the follow-up, the average baPWV decreased (13.2 [11.8; 15.1] cm / sec vs. 13.0 [11.8; 14.1] cm/ s; p < 0.001), and the frequency of its elevated values declined (45.4 vs. 35.1%; p = 0.008). The average ABI increased (1.09 [1.04; 1.14] vs. 1.11 [1.06; 1.17]; p = 0.012), but remained within the normal range. LV global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) (–19.6 ± 2.2 and –19.7 ± 2.5%; p = 0.854) and the frequency of reduced LV GLS (21.4 and 26.6%; p = 0.268) did not change significantly and did not differ from values in the control group. Global longitudinal strain in the LV basal inferoseptal segment improved (–19.2 ± 3.6% vs. –20.1 ± 4.0%; p = 0.032). The early diastolic mitral annular velocity decreased (8.4 ± 3.0 cm / s vs. 8.0 ± 2.5 cm / s; p = 0.023). The LV isovolumic relaxation time was greater than in the control group (101.8 ± 22.3 ms at the 1st visit vs. 92.9 ± 21.5 ms; p = 0.012; 105.9 ± 21.9 ms vs. 92.9 ± 21.5 ms at the 2nd visit; p < 0.001).

Patients with optimal visualization on echocardiography at 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia, compared to the results of the examination 3 months after the disease, had deteriorated parameters of LV diastolic function. LV GLS was within the grey zone and did not change significantly. An improvement in arterial stiffness was noted, associated with an improvement in the strain of basal LV segments.","PeriodicalId":256912,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Siberian Medicine","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140715305","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 study the parameters of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) / tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP) system in assessing the clinical course of pulmonary tuberculoma.Materials and methods. We examined 87 patients (55 men and 32 women), average age 33 [28; 43] years, with a morphologically and bacteriologically confirmed diagnosis of tuberculoma, who received treatment at St. Petersburg Research Institute of Phthisiopulmonology. In all patients, computed tomography of the chest, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and lung function tests were performed. In the blood serum, concentrations of MMP-1, -8, -9, and their tissue inhibitor TIMP-1 were determined using ELISA (R&D Systems, USA), and the activity of α2-macroglobulin (MG) was determined by the enzyme assays. For statistical data processing, Statistica 10.0 and R were used.Results. In the study group, single and multiple tuberculomas were revealed in 37 and 63% of cases, respectively, necrotic areas – in 50% of patients, external respiration disorders – in 48% of cases, and catarrhal bronchitis (CB) – in 77% of cases. Tobacco smokers (TS) were identified in 69% of cases. Significant differences between MMP concentrations allowed us to distinguish four patterns from the characteristics adopted for the clinical and radiological assessment of disease intensity. It was shown that an increase in the levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9 can be a predictor of tuberculoma progression caused by a diffuse process with necrotic areas and bronchogenic dissemination (pattern 1, 2). Changes in the levels of MMP-8, TIMP-1 or MG (pattern 3, 4) were associated with permanent exposure to a non-specific component of inflammation (TS or CB).Conclusion. Changes in the MMP / TIMP system parameters can be used as objective laboratory protein biomarkers to assess the clinical course of pulmonary tuberculoma.","PeriodicalId":256912,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Siberian Medicine","volume":"39 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140713228","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}

Objective comparison of biological markers and real clinical presentation is especially difficult in mental disorders, which are classified according to a large number of diagnostic criteria and a wide variety of symptoms. Therefore, the development of an effective system of biochemical markers and assessment of their relationship to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia are relevant.The aim of the study was to develop a statistical model that combines known and tested biochemical markers for mental illnesses in patients with schizophrenia.Materials and methods. The study included 47 women aged 18–50 years (median age – 22 years) with the diagnosis of schizophrenia (ICD-10, F20) and 25 healthy women of the same age. The model was based on the functional activity of complement, thrombodynamics parameters, markers of inflammation, glutamate and energy metabolism, and antioxidant defense, which were shown to be associated with the severity of schizophrenia. The listed markers were evaluated in plasma, platelets, and erythrocytes of sick and healthy individuals.Results. Statistical software found pair correlations and features of the distribution of all markers as random variables in the examined groups and evaluated correlations between pairs of markers. Ten biomarkers were identified and united into a system that was adequately described by the logistic regression model. The model was evaluated using the Pearson’s test (χ2(11) = 57.6, p = 0.001) and calculation of correct predictions (91 and 80%) for samples of patients and healthy people, respectively.Conclusion. Calculating the logistic equation resulted in the probability that the patient has schizophrenia involving the immune system, hemostasis, and oxidative stress.

In this regard, the evolution of approaches to the classification of chronic heart failure (CHF) is prominent. It becomes particularly relevant due to the fact that currently experts of the Russian Society of Cardiology (RSC) are actively discussing a new draft classification of CHF. The authors of the lecture gave a brief historical insight and reviewed the main classifications of CHF used in North America, Europe, and Russia. The new classification of CHF proposed by RSC experts, which is actually a modified classification of North American colleagues, does not have obvious advantages over the currently used CHF classification in Russia (since 2002). The latter is based on the classification by Vasilenko – Strazhesko which is familiar to domestic internists, since it has become an indispensable part of their clinical practice and has stood the test of time.
