Clinical trials have shown that calcimimetics significantly reduce the risks of parathyroidectomy, bone fracture and cardiovascular hospitalization among long-term dialysis patients with SHPT. Etelcalcetide, a novel calcimimetic compound, acts as a direct CaSR agonist, restores the sensitivity of the CaSR in parathyroid cells, and decreases serum parathyroid hormone without inducing hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia. Etelcalcetide's properties allow it to be administered intravenously thrice weekly at the end of a hemodialysis treatment session improving medication adherence.","PeriodicalId":344630,"journal":{"name":"Medical Bulletin of the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N.N.

The study of rational approaches to empirical antibacterial therapy (ABT) of SARS-CoV-2 virus-induced pneumonia continues. Glucocorticoid (GCS) therapy, the main method for pathogenetic treatment of moderate forms of CОVID-19, can lead to the development of neutrophilic leukocytosis. The criterion for the differential diagnosis of leukocytosis could be determining the quantity of peripheral blood monocytes. Assessing the significance of identifying the monocyte quantity can serve as an additional criterion for assigning empirical ABT in the treatment of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus infection. The aim of the study was to identify the characteristics of glucocorticoid-induced leukocytosis in patients with moderate COVID-19. The study included 86 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 (ICD codes: U07.1, U07.2) of moderate severity. The patients were divided into 2 groups. The comparison group consisted of 40 patients who were prescribed ABT after the manifestation of leukocytosis on the background of glucocorticoid therapy. The control group included 46 people who were not prescribed ABT after the manifestation of leukocytosis on the background of glucocorticoid therapy and until the end of their stay in the hospital. We compared the parameters of the clinical blood tests (the absolute number of white blood cells, neutrophils and monocytes (×109/L)) on days 3, 6 and 9 from the start of GCS therapy. As a result, on the 3rd day, both groups had neutrophilic leukocytosis (>9.0×109/L) and absolute monocytosis (>0.8×109/L). There was a statistically signif icant decrease in the absolute number of white blood cells, neutrophils and monocytes by days 6 and 9, compared with day 3 from the start of glucocorticoid therapy. When comparing blood parameters between the groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the number of cells on the 3rd, 6th and 9th day of GCS therapy (p>0.05). Glucocorticoid-induced leukocytosis is associated with absolute monocytosis. The administration of ABT in response to the occurrence of leukocytosis in this study did not affect the change in the level of white blood cells. At the same time, a likely factor in reducing these indicators was a decrease in the daily dosage of corticosteroids.","PeriodicalId":344630,"journal":{"name":"Medical Bulletin of the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N.N.

The development of a material not inferior in its elastic-strength properties to metal and that does not require further removal remains a reason for studying new samples that are inert during resorption. The purpose of this study was to experimentally explore and compare the bone tissue reaction to the introduction of titanium and magnesium oxide implants, as well as to study the state of magnesium oxide structures at different times after implantation. The material for the study was an implant based on magnesium oxide manufactured by the «MAGNEZIX» company. We operated on 30 rabbits based on the experimental laboratory of the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after academician N.N. Burdenko Russian Defense Ministry. The main group consisted of 10 rabbits, which were injected with a biodegradable screw made of a material based on magnesium oxide. The control group included 10 rabbits, which were injected with a titanium screw. In addition, another group of rabbits was studied. It included 10 young subjects who were injected with an implant based on magnesium oxide into the growth zone. Subjects were removed from the experiment one at a time at various stages. Then X-ray and histological assessment of the paraimplant zone were performed. As a result, the experiment showed that biomaterials based on magnesium oxide are bioinert, do not cause an inflammation reaction or osteolysis of the surrounding tissue, do not lead to the release of gas and the formation of a pathological cavity. During the introduction of magnesium-containing implants to young subjects, no pathological changes in bone tissue, deformities or stunting in the growth of the studied individuals were detected. Based on the obtained experimental data gathered for 6 months, it should be concluded that the material based on magnesium oxide is very promising and suitable for use in traumatology and orthopedics.","PeriodicalId":344630,"journal":{"name":"Medical Bulletin of the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N.N.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the feet, ultrasound Doppler with duplex angioscanning, magnetic resonance and computed angiography of the lower extremities, as well as assessment of transcutaneous oxygen tension were performed. Surgical treatment tactics depended on the form of the diabetic foot syndrome, as well as the severity of the disease. As a local treatment, physical methods were used to accelerate the course of the wound process. The proposed diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis and selection of surgical treatment for various forms of diabetic foot syndrome has made it possible to reduce the number of “high” amputations and maintain a supporting limb. Purpose of the study is to improve treatment outcomes for purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome by developing and applying a diagnostic algorithm and differentiated treatment tactics. The main group consisted of 180 patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, in whom the developed diagnostic algorithm and differentiated tactics of surgical treatment were used, as well as physical methods of influencing the wound process (ultrasonic cavitation and local ozonation) were used as local treatment. The control group included 40 patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, whose treatment involved the use of drugs that improve the rheological properties of blood and tissue microcirculation (rheopolyglucin, trental, actovegin) according to conventional schemes. Local treatment included sanitation and treatment of wound and ulcerative surfaces with antiseptic solutions and ointments, depending on the phase of the wound process. Data analysis in this group was carried out based on a retrospective study of case histories and an assessment of long-term results of treatment by follow-up examinations and telephone interviews. Control group included 25 (63%) men and 15 (37%) women; the average age was 67.3±10.3 years. The developed unified approaches in diagnosing and treating patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, who, in complex treatment, underwent staged necrectomy with simultaneous ultrasonic cavitation of purulent wounds and their ozonization, can reliably reduce the number of ulcer recurrences from 28% to 2.7%, high amputations by 34%, and the number of re-amputations ― 10 times. The use of minimally invasive surgical technologies for the rehabilitation of deep purulent foci of the foot, in comparison with the classical principles of treatment of purulent wounds, makes it possible to achieve a complete cleansing of wounds, preparation for plastic surgery, and an increase in the number of functional supportable lower limbs by 42.7%.
