Surgery is the main and an effective treatment option for liver echinococcosis. The choice of surgical strategy for advanced liver echinococcosis given suspected poor liver functional reserve and post-operative hepatic failure remains challenging. Objective. To present and analyze the effectiveness of portal blood flow occlusion techniques in planning two-stage extensive resections in patients with advanced liver echinococcosis. Material and methods. The article presents the outcomes of surgical treatment of 22 patients (8/36,4% men, 14/63,6% women) operated on for advanced liver echinococcosis in the surgical department No.2 of State Autonomous Healthcare Institution ‘Kuzbass Clinical Emergency Hospital named after A.I. M. A. Podgorbunsky’ (Kemerovo). The application of a two-stage extensive resection protocol was used as an entry criterion. Stage I included right portal vein branch occlusion techniques aimed at achieving vicarious hypertrophy of the contralateral lobe. A two-stage extensive resection protocol was applied in case of both expected poor hepatic functional reserve and insufficient future remnant liver volume, accounting for inability of safe implementation of a one-stage extensive resection due to predicted postoperative hepatic failure and a fatal outcome. Results. The applied two-stage resection techniques for the prevention of post-operative hepatic failure are effective in relation to the following indicators: CT volumetry (p<0,05), OK15 ICG (p<0,05), statistical model value (p<0.05). Though the laparotomic technique of the right portal vein branch ligation is of a comparable effectiveness with the laparoscopic one, the latter being less traumatic, which can significantly reduce postoperative hospital stay (p<0,05). Moreover, the laparoscopic technique was not found to cause any specific and nonspecific complications. Conclusions. The applied methods of portal blood flow occlusion are considered to be effective and safe when planning two-stage extensive resections in specialized hepatology centers and can be recommended in case of initial poor hepatic functional reserve and insufficient future remnant liver volume.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45160647","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}

Due to an increasing number of liver surgery, the problems of using secure hemostatic techniques during its resection are still relevant and require further study. Objective. To determine the optimal technique of local hemostasis during liver resection based on a comparative morphological assessment of the liver wound. Material and methods. The study was performed on 30 outbred white rats using local hemostatic techniques with further morphological examination of biological material on 7th and 21st days. Results. It has been established that cryohemostasis, electrocoagulation and local application methods of hemostasis are adequate ways to stop blood loss from a wound during liver resection. The analysis of the histological image of micro-preparations showed that the inflammatory response is present in all experiment series, regardless of hemostatic techniques. The disadvantage of using a TachoComb sponge is the need for its fixation to the wound surface, that of a collagen hemostatic sponge – a long period of its resorption, that of electrocoagulation – a damaging effect on liver tissue with marked inflammation. Conclusions. Local cryohemostasis appeared to be the most effective bleeding control technique. Its advantages are the following: it stops bleeding much faster than application techniques; it is characterized by minimal abdominal adhesions; it has a less pronounced damaging effect on liver parenchyma; it facilitates scar tissue formation and it is less likely to cause inflammatory changes in the resection zone.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43879092","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}

The emergence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in developed countries is driven by improved diagnostic tools, increased clinician awareness of the autochthonous nature of transmission and the potential for life-threatening acute and chronic liver damage. Objective. To present the first confirmed case of acute hepatitis E (AHE) caused by the E virus of the first genotype (HEV-1) in the Grodno region, registered in 2022. Material and methods. The patient is a native of Pakistan, who has been living and working in Grodno for recent years. He visited Italy and Pakistan several times within last six months, returned to Grodno 2 weeks before the onset of clinical manifestations of the disease. The patient was hospitalized in the Regional infectious diseases hospital. The methods for laboratory and etiological diagnosis of hepatitis included: general clinical methods, serological and molecular genetic ones (ELISA - IgM, IgG HEV; PCR - RNA HEV, genotyping and sequencing of the HEV genome). Results. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory methods made it possible to exclude viral hepatitis A, B, C, D and establish the diagnosis of AHE of icteric (bilirubin at the height of the disease - 209.1 μmol/l, ALT - 1795 U/l), moderate form with a favorable outcome. IgM and IgG to HEV were detected in the patient's blood. HEV RNA was isolated from the patient's biological material. The isolated sequence in 100% bootstrap replications was assigned to HEV genotype 1. The insignificant value of the evolutionary distance between the \"Grodno\" sequence and the sequence isolated from a patient's body in Pakistan indicated a high degree of their homology, which made it possible to conclude that this case of AHE was imported. Conclusions. For the first time in the Grodno region, there was registered an imported case of AHE acquired during travel to HEV hyperendemic territory. The identified sequence is 100% HEV-1 genotype and 94.3% homologous to the sequence obtained from a patient in Pakistan. Under favourable conditions, HEV-1, which has a significant epidemic potential, can cause the development of HEV outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44308163","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}

There exist strict requirements for polymer materials to be used for implantation into living organisms, thus, no substance lacking negative properties has been found yet. Various groups of polymers are currently under research, including fluorinated polytetrafluoroethylene families. Objective. To evaluate the peculiarities of morphological reactions that occur during implantation of Belarusian fluoroplast-4 into various tissues of experimental animals. Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on outbred white rats weighing 200-250 g, which were divided into four groups. In rats of the first group, a 5×10 mm liver wound was closed with a fluoroplast-4 fragment, in those of the second – with fluoroplast-4 modified by «Photolon» and calcium chloride, in those of the third - a flap of highly porous fluoroplast-4 was implanted into a 5×5×5 mm hip muscle defect, in those of the fourth - a flap of lowporous fluoroplast-4 was used. The morphology of surrounding tissues and that of an implant were studied at various points of time after surgery using light microscopy and morphometry. Results. Surgical trauma resulting from operation on various tissues followed by plasty using fluoroplast-4 activates a sequence of pathomorphological inflammatory-reparative processes, including three classical stages of inflammation and has a reversible character. Polymer materials act as a framework over which the synthetic material is both isolated by collagen fibers and integrated through the ingrowth of the latter into the pores of the polymer, resulting in the formation of a new connective tissue capsule. Conclusions. Fluorinated polymer materials originally manufactured in the Republic of Belarus are biocompatible polymers that can be used in functionally active areas.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48142162","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}

The emergence of new antiviral drugs has made it possible to eliminate the virus in more than 95% of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Improving diagnostics in primary health care aimed at the earliest possible detection of the disease is of primary importance in such a situation. Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of diagnostics and routine follow-up monitoring of patients with chronic hepatitis C in the Vitebsk region. Material and methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the incidence of HCV infection in the Vitebsk region during 2009-2020. We performed a comparative evaluation of ELISA and ICA/ICT techniques for the detection of HCV antibody. Results. It was found out that during the analyzed period there was a significant decrease in the incidence of various forms of HCV infection, accompanied by an increase in the proportion of chronic hepatitis C and a sharp decrease in the proportion of anti-HCV carriers, that can be regarded as a direct result of information campaigns designed for primary care providers. There were differences in the structure of HCV infection in various parts of the Vitebsk region. Rapid anti-HCV immunochromatography test showed equal effectiveness with a diagnostic sensitivity of 93.75% (CI = 69.9-99.8) and a specificity of 100% (CI = 82.4-100%) (AUC=0.969, p<0.0001) compared with ELISA.
