Inflammatory process in periapical tissues causes tooth extraction in more than 50% of cases. The development of chronic apical periodontitis can be triggered by an intracanal infection in undetected/missed root canal of the mandibular molars. The morphology of mandibular molars is distinguished by additional canals in the mesial root in some cases. Different studies reveal the middle mesial canal in 4.5% to 26% of cases with quite high incidence in youth. The dental therapy has been searching for effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment of chronic periodontitis, enabling the focus of chronic inflammation to be eliminated and the tooth to be saved. Case descriptions. The paper presents clinical cases of patients with destructive changes in bone tissues in the periapical region of the mesial root in mandibular molars. The developing of this pathology is associated with missed anatomy in the mesial root during primary endodontic treatment. The patients underwent clinical examination consisting of basic methods (interview, examination) and additional techniques (intraoral radiography). An additional middle mesial canal in the root of the mandibular molar was identified taking into account the complex morphology of the root system of the tooth and verified by its careful analysis and radiography. The final clinical diagnosis, chronic apical periodontitis (K04.5), was made following the obtained diagnostic results and the ICD-10 classification. Diagnostic examination and endodontic retreatment were performed using a dental operating microscope. Conclusion. An operating dental microscope provides visualization of microscopic anatomotopographical details, promoting the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of chronic apical periodontitis in mandibular molars. Using dental microscope facilitates systematization of the data obtained during the examination, making a final clinical diagnosis, and development of a reasonable personalized treatment plan focused on detecting an additional middle canal in the mesio-buccal canal of the mandibular molar. Due to the suggested approach, the long-term outcomes of endodontic treatment can be an objective assessed in dynamics, thereby improving the quality of treatment for chronic apical periodontitis in patients.","PeriodicalId":33483,"journal":{"name":"Kubanskii nauchnyi meditsinskii vestnik","volume":"24 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134906435","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}

Mathematical modeling is widely used in medicine to analyze the body systems in terms of their structure, work and interrelations. The present study investigates factors associated with the adaptation potential of the cardiovascular system, develops multiple regression models for the dependence of the adaptive potential on these factors, and compares the significance of the linear model with non-linear ones. Objectives. To determine changes in the circulatory system in students during the examination period and develop a mathematical model for predicting the adaptive potential of the cardiovascular system. Methods . The cohort observational study enrolled 74 students of Kirov State Medical University, aged 18–23 years, who gave consent to the survey. The participants were divided into two cohorts depending on the dominant type of the autonomic nervous system (group 1 — individuals with the dominance of sympathetic part of the peripheral division of the autonomic nervous system (n = 54) and group 2 — individuals with vagotonic type of regulation (n = 20)). The relationship between the hemodynamic parameters and the initial autonomic tone was considered as the main relevancy criterion of the study. Comparative analysis of hemodynamic parameters depending on the dominant type of autonomic nervous system was carried out in the cohorts. Development of the regression model was based on 74 observations. Data description included median (Me) and interquartile range representing 25th and 75th percentiles. The indicators in independent samples (cohorts) were compared using the non-parametric Mann—Whitney U test. Correlation analysis of relationships between the studied variables involved Spearman’s criterion (r). Differences and correlations were considered significant at p = 0.05. Calculations and analyses were performed using spreadsheets in Statistica Advanced 10 for Windows RU (Statsoft, Russia). Results. The state of the cardiovascular system significantly depends on the dominant type of the autonomic nervous system. Such parameters as stroke volume, cardiac index, cardiac minute output, circulatory efficiency were established to be significantly higher, whereas diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, cardiovascular index — lower in individuals with activation of the sympathetic part of the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system. The study revealed significant correlations between the parameters of central hemodynamic and anthropometric parameters depending on the dominant type of the autonomic nervous system. Conclusion . Significant differences of hemodynamic parameters depending on the dominant type of autonomic system indicate the relevance of neurohumoral mechanisms of cardiovascular regulation. The values in adaptive potential exceeded 2.0 points, indicating the stress of the cardiovascular adaptation.

The relevance of the problem is related to the high prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE); its role in female infertility, implantation failures during assisted reproductive technology procedures, and recurrent miscarriage; as well as the lack of a unified strategy in the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The present systematic review with a meta-analysis focuses on evaluating the impact of CE and its therapy on the outcome of in vitro fertilization. In addition, the effect of CE of various severity on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies is analyzed. Objective . To analyze the effect of CE of varying severity and its treatment on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization. Methods . Using PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Embase, ELibrary, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), WHO International Clinical Trials Registry, and Russian Science Citation Index, a systematic search was conducted for articles published over the past 12 years that met the following criteria: randomized controlled trial examining the effect of CE of varying severity on fertility and ways to treat it. The following indicators were calculated: ongoing pregnancy/live birth, clinical pregnancy, and miscarriage rates. A total of 4145 patients (from ten studies) were included. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 11.0 software (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK). The heterogeneity was considered low at I 2 <30%, moderate at 30–50%, and high at >50%. Results . Women with CE exhibited lower ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 1.97; p = 0.02) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 2.28; p = 0.002) as compared to women without it. CE treatment increased the ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 5.33; p < 0.0001) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 3.64; p = 0.0001). In vitro fertilization outcomes were comparable in women treated for CE and women without CE (ongoing pregnancy/live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and miscarriage rate: p = ns). Women with severe CE exhibited lower ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 0.43; p = 0.003) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 0.40; p = 0.0007). Mild CE showed no significant effect on in vitro fertilization outcomes (ongoing pregnancy/ live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and miscarriage rate: p = ns). Conclusion . The conducted meta-analysis showed that CE significantly reduces the ongoing pregnancy/live birth and clinical pregnancy rates in infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Noteworthy is that antimicrobial therapy in such patients improves the results of assisted reproductive technologies, which are comparable to those of patients without CE. The negative impact of this pathology on the implantation capacity of the endometrium is most often observed in the severe form, while its mild form has virtually no effect on the in vitro fertilization outcome.","PeriodicalId":33483,"journal":{"name":"Kubanskii nauchnyi meditsinskii vestnik","volume":"39 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134905969","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}

Establishing regularities in postmortem intervals comprises one of the main tasks of the forensic science of death and cadaveric phenomena. The knowledge of these regularities is directly related to reconstructing the postmortem conditions and, consequently, to determining the postmortem interval. Objective. To analyze postmortem changes in cadaver tissues and dynamics of their impedance parameters under the conditions of natural biocenosis. Methods. The study involved the cadavers of model biological objects – eight pigs, aged one to two months, weighing up to 10 kg. Experimental studies of cadaver decomposition were carried out under natural biocenosis conditions, daily for 28 days with two replications. Changes in cadaver tissues during decomposition were recorded and analyzed. The subject of biophysical studies was the tissue impedance parameters of three diagnostic zones of the biological object: the musculocutaneous flap, the cartilaginous part of the third rib and the calcaneal tendon. Impedance measurements for each postmortem interval were performed at five studied current frequencies: 100 and 120 Hz, 1, 10 and 100 kHz. A total of 2,400 readings were taken. Statistical analysis of the study results was carried out by means of Statistica 8.0 (StatSoft Inc., USA). Results. Postmortem biological changes in cadaver tissues correlate with the nature of their impedance dynamics. The study of impedance under conditions of natural biocenosis established its identical dependence on the postmortem interval for all current frequencies of the study of all diagnostic zones of model biological objects: in the initial interval of 0–4 days, the impedance gives a “surge” followed by a smoother decrease. Cadaver tissues were recorded to indicate the presence of impedance dispersion in general in the studied frequency range and the absence of dispersion directly for high frequencies. Conclusion . Understanding the causes and essence of postmortem processes contributes to assessing and substantiating changes in any characteristics of tissues measured quantitatively, including impedance indicators, as well as to predicting the prospects of their use for specific practical purposes, in particular, for determining the postmortem interval.","PeriodicalId":33483,"journal":{"name":"Kubanskii nauchnyi meditsinskii vestnik","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134905968","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}

Isolation of pathogenetically and clinically different variants of its course enable new approaches to the treatment to be developed. Objective. To develop a pathogenetic therapy for the sclerosing variant of vulvar lichen sclerosus, taking into account its clinical and immunological characteristics. Methods. A prospective cohort study was conducted from 2018 to 2022 on the basis of Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2, Krasonodar, Russia. 292 patients aged 20 to 70 years were histologically diagnosed with vulvar lichen sclerosus. After a clinical examination using the scale for assessing subjective and objective clinical signs of vulvar lichen sclerosus, 154 patients with a sclerosing variant of the disease course were selected for the study. The control cohort consisted of 30 women of the same age category without vulvar lichen sclerosus, taking into account the exclusion criteria. The study involved a clinical assessment (in points) of objective and subjective criteria characteristic of this variant of vulvar lichen sclerosus, as well as an assessment of the level of cytokines (interleukin-20; interleukin-23; interleukin-10; tumor necrosis factor α, interferon γ) in peripheral blood of the patients from the main and control groups. One month after the immunotherapy with sodium deoxyribonucleate, the authors evaluated its clinical efficacy (using Numerical rating scale for pain (vulvodynia) and Vulvar pruritus severity scale) and immunological efficacy (repeated assessment of the level of the studied cytokines).

Initial dual antihypertensive therapy is currently considered as the first management step for the majority of patients with arterial hypertension. However, it often fails to achieve the target blood pressure levels. An approved algorithm for predicting the failure of dual antihypertensive therapy is still to be developed. Objectives . To establish predictors of dual antihypertensive therapy failure in patients with high and very high cardiovascular risk and to create a model for predicting negative outcome of dual antihypertensive therapy. Methods. The paper presents a prospective comparative non-randomized clinical trial. The recruiting of participants and recording of results were carried out in March–December 2019 with 3 months of the follow-up period. The trial involved examination of 88 patients with poor blood pressure control, stage II and III arterial hypertension, high and very high cardiovascular risk of stages 1–3. Clinical and laboratory examination was carried out in compliance with the current regulatory documents. Additional examination included tests for uric acid, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, as well as respiratory polygraphy and computerized capillaroscopy. All patients were prescribed dual antihypertensive therapy. The primary search for predictors was performed using the binary logistic regression. The predictive model was developed by stepwise variable selection. The diagnostic significance of the binary classifier was assessed by means of ROC-curve analysis; the calculation was performed using MedCalc 20.218 software (MedCalc Software Ltd., Belgium). Results . Administration of two hypotensive drugs appears to be effective in 33% of patients. The final model for predicting negative outcomes of dual antihypertensive therapy included such independent predictors as interventricular septal thickness, daily mean systolic blood pressure, and area density of the capillary network. The odds ratio accounted for 9.1 (95% confidence interval 3.12; 26.82). The area under the ROC curve based on the multiple binary logistic regression model comprised 0.805±0.05 with 95% confidence interval: 0.707-0.882 (p<0.0001). The sensitivity and specificity of the method amounted to 83.1 and 69.0%, respectively. The prediction accuracy comprised 77.3%. Conclusion.

At present, the priority direction of medical science and practice is the prevention of dental diseases, especially in patients with somatic pathology. Patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy develop a complex of neurological disorders, accompanied by impaired motor functions of hands, lips and chewing muscles, which leads to ineffective cleansing of the oral cavity from food residues and formation of soft and mineralized dental deposits on the dental surface. Therefore, these patients should use additional personal hygiene products.Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of hygienic care in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy using mouthwash with synbiotic complex.Methods. An observational clinical study was conducted on the basis of Neurology Unit No. 2 of Research Center of Neurology, Department of Cariology and Endodontics and Department of Biological Chemistry, A.I.

The study enrolled 82 patients aged from 45 to 74 years with cerebrovascular disease, dyscirculatory encephalopathy, decompensation (I68.7, according to ICD-10). Patients were divided into two study groups: group 1 (n = 44) — patients who used mouthwash with synbiotic complex; group 2 (n = 38) — patients who did not use mouthwash. The efficacy of mouthwash with synbiotic complex was assessed by using an index score of a simplified Greene Vermillion Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), Russell Periodontal Index (PI), Papillary Bleeding Index (PBI), and physicochemical parameters of the oral fluid.

Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical importance to develop further ways to improve methods for treating inflammatory-dystrophic damage of periodontal tissues in chronic generalized periodontitis.Objective. To perform an index estimation of treatment efficacy in patients with moderately severe chronic generalized periodontitis.Methods. An experimental randomized single-arm study was conducted examining 204 patients diagnosed with moderately severe chronic generalized periodontitis. Patient examination and data analysis were carried out at the Dentistry Department of the Stavropol State Medical University and the Department for General Practice Dentistry of the Kuban State Medical University in 2021–2022. The study included patients aged 35 to 65 years diagnosed with moderately severe chronic generalized periodontitis. Patients with somatic diseases in the decompensation stage were not eligible for the study. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (closed-envelope method). Group 1 was treated using conventional methods. As well as conventional therapy, Group 2 was prescribed vitamin D (Aquadetrim® at a dose of 5000 IU once per day while monitoring vitamin D blood level). The third group of patients was prescribed conventional therapy along with the developed pharmacotherapy, which included vitamin D (Aquadetrim® at a dose of 5000 IU once per day), vitamin A (3.44% oil solution of retinol acetate at a dose of 50 000 IU, 15 min after a morning meal), and 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine (Mexidol® at a dose of 125 mg twice a day).

Despite the availability of the comprehensive methodology in diagnostics of dentoalveolar injuries, dentists lack standardized algorithms for effective examination and systematization of the data obtained in the diagnostics of such groups of patients, which is necessary for personalized planning and pathogenetic therapy. The authors present the algorithm they developed for comprehensive assessment of dentoalveolar injuries in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.Case descriptions. The paper presents clinical cases of two patients with abnormal occlusion associated with temporomandibular joint disorder. The patients underwent a comprehensive morphofunctional examination of the dentoalveolar complex in accordance with the diagnostic algorithm patented by the authors, including following methods: clinical (interview, examination), anthropometric (anthropometry of dentition), radiological (cone-beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint), functional (surface electromyography of the masticatory muscles, computer kinesiography, electro-vibrography, ultrasound examination of the temporomandibular joint), to make the final diagnosis and to determine the order and scope of treatment.Conclusion. The authors presented and proved clinically the algorithm of morphofunctional diagnostics for the dento-alveolar complex of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders, combining clinical, anthropometric, radiological and functional methods of examination, which allow the most dento-alveolar characteristics to be considered in order to make the main diagnosis and a personalized treatment protocol for such groups of patients","PeriodicalId":33483,"journal":{"name":"Kubanskii nauchnyi meditsinskii vestnik","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45821762","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}
