Comorbid syntropic lesions of the circulatory system in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), although often fatal, are poorly studied. The aim of the study. To distinguish syntropic lesions of the cardiovascular system in patients with LC, to determine some of their pathogenetic mechanisms, nature, and characteristics, to determine clinical markers with prognostic value, to justify and evaluate the effectiveness of their modified treatment. Materials and methods. We processed medical records of 603 patients with LC and detected circulatory system lesions in 490 patients. Some of them had only one type of lesions (study groups): 103 patients were diagnosed with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCMP), and 89 patients were diagnosed with arterial hypotension. Patients without the circulatory system lesions (113 patients) formed a comparison group. The purpose of the first step of the study was to determine syntropic comorbid lesions of the circulatory system. The purpose of the second step was to study some pathogenetic mechanisms of their formation. The purpose of the third step was to characterize these lesions, classify them, and determine their specific characteristics related to the severity of LC. The purpose of the fourth step was to determine their clinical markers. The purpose of the fifth step was to justify a modified course of treatment for patients with LC and syntropic cardiovascular lesions as well as to assess its effectiveness. Results. The presence of the combination of such complaints as nausea, jaundice of the skin and sclera in patients with LC and the absence of the “jellyfish head” symptom lets us think with 97.09 % sensitivity, 98.02 % specificity and 97.70 % accuracy about syntropic secondary CCMP. In the presence of the combination of such complaints as pain and heaviness in the right side of the abdomen, ascites, hepato-, splenomegaly and telangiectasia lets us think with 85.39 % sensitivity, 98.61 % specificity and 94.75 % accuracy about syntropic persistent hypotension. Improvement of the comprehensive treatment of patients with LC, syntropic secondary CCMP and persistent hypotension, taking into account the peculiarities of their pathogenesis and clinical course, can improve the quality of life of patients by 44.95 % and 40.39 %, respectively, and significantly increase the effectiveness of treatment. Conclusions. Clinical symptom complexes that indicate the presence of syntropic lesions of the circulatory system – a combination of complaints of nausea, jaundice and sclera in the absence of symptoms of “jellyfish head” indicates CCMP, and a combination of complaints of pain and heaviness in the right hypochondrium, ascites, hepato- and splenomegaly and telangiectasia indicate persistent hypotension.

Analysis of the results of the study showed that in patients in the acute period of the cerebral contusion of the mild severity with subarachnoid hemorrhage, there was a significant difference with respect to all types of EEG ( р < 0.05) control. In patients with cerebral contusion of the mild severity without subarachnoid hemorrhage in acute period a significant difference was observed only with respect plane ( р 1 < 0.05), normal ( р 1 < 0.05) and border ( р 1 < 0.05) types of EEG compared to control. Changes of polyrhythmic ( р 1 > 0.05) and synchronized ( р 1 > 0.05) types of EEG in patients with cerebral contusion of the mild severity without subarachnoid hemorrhage were unlikely compared to the control. Comparing the studied groups in the acute period of the cerebral contusion of the mild severity among ourselves, we found the significance of differences with respect to polyrhythmic ( р 2 < 0.05), synchronized ( р 2 < 0.05), normal ( р 2 < 0.05) and border ( р 2 < 0.05) types of EEG, and relatively plane types of EEG indicators were unreliable ( р 2 > 0.05). Conclusions. These studies reflect the pathogenesis of trauma, point to the special role of nonspecific brainstem and hypothalamus systems, as triggers that lead to impaired cortical-subcortical and cerebral-spinal neurodynamics. Among the EEG characteristics, the most important for diagnosis is the phenomenon of synchronization, which reflects the phase of brain injury and is expressed by the rise of slow δ (delta) and θ (theta) waves.

It is known that liver cirrhosis (LC) is a chronic diffuse liver disease, the severity of which is manifested by the restructuring of its parenchyma in the form of nodular transformation and fibrosis due to necrosis of hepatocytes, the appearance of shunts between the portal and central veins and liver failure. Oxidative stress is one of the primary pathogenetic links of the LC onset. The aim of study . To determine the content of some endothelium-dependent vasoactive substances in the blood of patients, depending on the liver cirrhosis severity and the organism’s redox system state. Materials and methods. 81 patients (26 females (32.1 %), 55 males (67.9 %) aged 27 to 73 years (mean age -46.9 ± 10.8 years) were included in the randomized trial with the preliminary stratification by the presence of LC (experimental group - EG). All of them were hospitalized and treated at the Department of Internal Medicine N 1 at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University and the Gastroenterology Department of Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital - Lviv Regional Hepatology Center. We also examined 20 practically healthy persons (8 females (40.0 %), 12 males (60.0 %)) aged 19 to 70 years (mean age - 41.8 ± 4.2 years) from which a control group (CG) was formed.All patients underwent a comprehensive clinical laboratory and instrumental examination of all organs and systems in accordance with the requirements of the modern medicine. According to the results of the examinations, all the patients of the EG were divided into 3 groups, according to the LC severity by the criteria of C. H. Child - R. N. Pugh - the first (class A) included 19 persons, the second (class B) - 29, the cGMP, renin, aldosterone, natriuretic peptide in the blood of this category of patients with the LC increasing severity according to the criteria of C. H. Child - R. N. Pugh. Conclusions. The liver significantly influences the endothelium state due to the role of oxidative stress in the metabolisms of NO, endothelin-1, natriuretic peptide, renin-aldosterone system. The cirrhotic patients revealed the increase in malondialdehyde and the decrease in catalase activity with the disease severity increase according to the criteria of C. H. Child - R. N. Pugh. It evidences the significant abnormalities in the redox homeostasis of such patients, and subsequently leads to the endothelial dysfunction with impaired metabolism of vasoactive humoral-metabolic substances in the blood of patients. In particular, they become the prerequisite for the occurrence of extrahepatic comorbid syntropic lesions, that significantly complicate the underlying disease course.","PeriodicalId":279640,"journal":{"name":"Lviv clinical bulletin","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114805432","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}
