Adequate functioning of the ANS supports homeostasis is the internal stability of the body and regulates many functions in it, such as cardiac activity, breathing, etc. TB-related stress and inflammation affect have influence at the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Affecting the work of the peripheral nervous system, it becomes possible to influence at the system of homeostasis of the body through its regulatory systems. Improving the diagnostics of autonomic dysfunction and identifying its dysfunction will provide an integrated individualized approach to treatment and will make a significant contribution to increasing the effectiveness of therapy for patients with tuberculosis.Aim. Diagnosis of the state of the autonomic nervous system by its main indicators using available informative methods for assessing its functional state in patients with respiratory tuberculosis, including in combination with HIV infection at the beginning of treatment and detecting the level of its damage for further correction with the prescription of pathogenetic therapy.Materials and methods. The functional state of the autonomic nervous system has been investigated in 260 people. In the study, 2 groups were formed: a control group (CG) of 70 healthy persons and a monitoring group (MG) of 190 newly diagnosed patients with tuberculosis. There are 3 subgroups in MG. The 1 subgroup included 65 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, in whom the function of ANS was studied by conventional examination methods, and in 64 patients with tuberculosis 2 subgroups and 61 patients with tuberculosis in combination with HIV infection 3 subgroups using Varikard 2.51. Calculations were carried out in the program SPSS Statistics v. 23.Results and discussion. Comparison of the frequency of autonomic dysfunction in patients with MG, subgroup 1 with that in the CG according to questionnaires No. 1 (χ2=36.346; p<0.001) and No. 2 (χ2=50.885; p<0.001), HR per minute (χ2=31.989; p<0.001), Kerdo index (χ2=30.008; p<0.001), cold sample (χ2=36.549; p<0.001) revealed high reliability of differences and indicated the predominance of sympathicotension, which was determined 7 times more often in patients. At the beginning of treatment, in patients with concomitant HIV infection was detected a more pronounced dysfunction of ANS with a predominance of its sympathetic link, which was found 9.3 times more often than in healthy persons and 2.3 times more often than in patients without HIV infection.

There was no association between the severity of COVID-19 and an adverse reaction to the vaccine. A high incidence of skepticism about vaccination against COVID-19 was noted in women, in the older age group, in people with higher education and highly qualified work, but poorly informed about immunoprophylaxis. Post-vaccination complications (fever, general weakness) after immunization against COVID-19 were more often detected in patients with affective disorders, however, this group of patients showed the most loyal attitude to vaccination. Patients with organic mental disorders shown the lowest degree of approval of vaccination against COVID-19, they cited fear of possible «side effects» and «lack of proven benefit» as the main reason for not being vaccinated.Conclusion.

The study material included 31 blood plasma samples from patients with chronic hepatitis C with relapse of the disease on therapy with direct antiviral drugs. Samples were screened for the presence of HCV RNA. In case of detection of HCV RNA, amplification was carried out using a set of primers jointly flanking the NS3, NS5A, NS5B genes. After sequencing the nucleotide sequences of these genes, the subtype of the virus was determined and drug resistance mutations were identified.Results and discussion. The age of the patients ranged from 33 to 62 and averaged 45.8±8.38 years. The number of men in the group prevailed compared to women — 21 (67%) and 10 (33%), respectively. Viral load determination results ranged from 3.1×103 to 4.2×107 IU/ml. The distribution of genotypes was as follows: 1a — 26% (n=8), 1b — 29% (n=9), 3a — 45% (n=14). The nucleotide sequence of the NS3, NS5A, NS5B regions was determined in all samples. Mutations associated with drug resistance were detected in 87% (n=27). In all identified cases, the mutations resulted in viral resistance to at least one drug included in the patient’s current treatment regimen. In one patient, amino acid substitutions were found in three regions at once, which led to the emergence of resistance to two drugs in the regimen.Conclusion. Conducting a preliminary examination of patients to identify mutations of drug resistance to direct antiviral drugs can affect the effectiveness of the planned treatment and the choice of the optimal regimen.","PeriodicalId":37381,"journal":{"name":"HIV Infection and Immunosuppressive Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139616508","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 study of this issue remains highly relevant for various reasons, because HIV-associated dysbiosis may underlie chronic diseases that persist and progress throughout the entire period of HIV infection, despite the control of viral load achieved with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The identification of close pathogenetic links between intestinal bacteria and HIV-associated diseases contributes to the development of new treatments aimed at changing the intestinal microbiome. It has been demonstrated that the gut microbiome has the potential to influence HIV disease at every stage of the viral life cycle, from infection through AIDS, opening the door for therapeutic interventions targeting the gut microbiome at each of these stages. Modern therapeutic strategies, including ART and agents aimed to normalizing the gut microbiome and reducing systemic chronic inflammation, may influence the existence of the HIV reservoir and thereby provide a cure for HIV infection.","PeriodicalId":37381,"journal":{"name":"HIV Infection and Immunosuppressive Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618505","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}
