In the last decade, the treatment algorithm has entered a new era as several drugs have become available that restore the function of the CFTR chloride channel and are called CFTR modulators. The efficacy and safety of targeted drugs in cystic fibrosis needs to be further investigated using additional assessment methods.The aim of this study was to investigate the role of intestinal current measurement (ICM) in assessing the efficacy of targeted therapy for cystic fibrosis.Methods. The efficacy of CFTR modulator therapy was evaluated in 15 patients, of which 10 were children and 5 were adults. In addition to the ICM method, patients’ clinical parameters, sweat test, and pulmonary function were also evaluated according to clinical guidelines.Results. Patients with genotypes 2143delT/7121G>T and G542X/R785X had no restoration of chloride channel function with elexacaftor + tezacaftor + ivacaftor therapy, and patients with the L467F;F508del genotype with lumacaftor + ivacaftor therapy. In patients with the F508del/F508del, N1303K/G461E, N1303K/3321delG genotype, improvements were noted in terms of the restoration of CFTR channel function during therapy with elexacaftor + tezacaftor + ivacaftor therapy, and in patients with the F508del/F508del genotype during therapy with tezacaftor + ivacaftor therapy and lumacaftor + ivacaftor.Conclusion. Restoring the function of the epithelial chloride channel (CFTR) is the basis for increasing life expectancy in CF. The crucial role of the ICM method in determining the efficacy of CFTR modulators is shown.","PeriodicalId":37383,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonologiya","volume":"825 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140776925","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}

Underestimation of an important radiological sign – unilateral “impoverishment” of the pulmonary pattern and hyperlucent lung – leads to erroneous diagnosis and inadequate treatment. Diagnosis of SJMS involves a computed tomography scan of the chest. The aim of this work was to familiarize readers with aspects of diagnosis and detail the clinical, radiological, and other characteristics of a patient with McLeod syndrome. The described adult man was diagnosed with SJMS at the age of 32. Some typical mistakes in examinations of such patients and the lack of vigilance of radiologists in case of unilateral hyperlucent lung are presented. Conclusion. Using the example of a rare clinical case of SJMS, we demonstrated the need to consider this syndrome when diagnosing adults with unjustified shortness of breath and a history of frequently recurrent pulmonary infections, with radiological signs of unilateral pulmonary emphysema and hyperlucent lung. According to the literature and our observations, computed tomography of the chest organs is a fast and reliable method for establishing the diagnosis of SJMS.","PeriodicalId":37383,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonologiya","volume":"42 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140431522","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}

Information is provided on the use of hydrogen, a biologically neutral molecule, in medicine as a diagnostic indicator for penetrating wounds of the gastrointestinal tract, the determination of local blood flow using the hydrogen clearance method, the use of the hydrogen breath test for the diagnosis of malabsorption and carbohydrate intolerance, achlorhydria, the diagnosis of bacterial overgrowth syndrome, the assessment of biodegradation of magnesium-containing implants, the orocecal transit time, and during deep-sea diving. The reasons for the sharp increase in the doctors’ interest in studying the biological role of hydrogen after the discovery of its antioxidant properties by a group of Japanese scientists (2007) are analyzed. In order to increase antioxidant protection of the body, data from recent research on ways to increase its concentration in the body through the supply of exogenous gas by inhalation or by administering hydrogen-rich water or saline solution is presented. Particular attention is paid to a critical analysis of studies on the kinetics of hydrogen by different routes, its concentration in blood and tissues, inhalation, and the use of hydrogen-rich water. Based on an analysis of publications, that the use of molecular hydrogen to relieve oxidative stress in the tissues of the intestines, liver and lungs is most promising, since its highest concentration is found in these tissues. Fermentation of carbohydrates has also been shown to increase the production of hydrogen by the intestinal microbiota. Considering that a large number of molecular hydrogen generators appeared on the market, the data on the requirements for their safety are summarized. Considerations on the use of molecular hydrogen for the purpose of antioxidant protection of the body in cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and other areas of medicine are based on modern views on the mechanisms of antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects of hydrogen. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of experimental and clinical research on the use of hydrogen in acute and chronic lung lesions, therapy of acute and chronic COVID-19 infection.Conclusion. Based on an analysis of the literature and our own data, a conclusion was drawn on the safety and prospects of the clinical use of molecular hydrogen in a wide range of concentrations in many diseases with the pathogenesis based on oxidative stress. In particular, the need for additional research was highlighted to clarify the regimen, frequency, duration and concentrations of hydrogen used, and a personalized approach to the combination of endogenous (from the intestinal microbiota) and exogenous hydrogen in various diseases.","PeriodicalId":37383,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonologiya","volume":"29 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445162","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 included patients (n = 91) who had cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass and pharmacological cold cardioplegia. Patients were randomized into 3 groups. The Group 1 (n = 30) was control. Groups 2 (n = 28) and 3 (n = 33) received an isolated supply of NO (40 ppm) and a combined supply of NO (40 ppm) and hydrogen (1.2 ppm) into the extracorporeal IR circuit, respectively. During the postoperative period, clinical and functional indicators were studied (dynamics of myocardial contractile function according to ultrasound data); duration of artificial pulmonary ventilation (ALV); stay in the intensive care unit; hospital stay; mortality; level of marker of myocardial injury – troponin I (cTnI). Myocardial injury index (MII) was calculated to assess the degree of injury.Results. It was found that the level of cTnI in the postoperative period increased statistically significantly in all groups but was statistically significantly lower in Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1 at the end of the surgery and 12 and 24 hours after the surgery. Also, level of cTnI was statistically significantly lower in Group 3 at all stages of the study compared to Group 1 and after 12, 24 and 48 hours compared to Group 2. Statistically significantly lower MII values were revealed at all stages of the postoperative period in Group 3 compared with Groups 1 and 2. Changes in indicators of myocardial contractile function suggest an earlier and more complete recovery in Groups 2 and 3 (the changes were statistically significantly higher than that in Group 1). In Groups 2 and 3, the incidence of acute heart failure was statistically significantly lower (p = 0.046) compared to Group 1, according to Fisher’s exact test. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of acute respiratory and multiple organ failure in Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1. Also, patients of Groups 2 and 3 did not experience any complications in the early postoperative period. In Group 3, there was a statistically significant decrease in the duration of mechanical ventilation and stay in the intensive care unit after surgery compared to Group 2.Conclusion. Isolated supply of NO into the IR circuit has an additional cardioprotective effect, which is confirmed by statistically lower levels of troponin I and smaller changes in the indicators of myocardial contractile function during the postoperative period compared to standard technology. A more pronounced protective effect on the myocardium was shown with the combined supply of NO and molecular hydrogen to the IR circuit as seen by statistically lower levels of troponin I and MII in the postoperative period compared with the isolated supply ","PeriodicalId":37383,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonologiya","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444679","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}

To model monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension (MCT-PH), two groups of animals received a single subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline (MCT) on day 1. The control group was injected subcutaneously with MCT solvent only. The animals receiving MCT were further divided into 2 subgroups. Subgroup 1 rats breathed room air and subgroup 2 rats breathed a mixture of room air and 4% hydrogen. The regular inhalations continued until day 21. On day 21, hemodynamic parameters were measured under urethane anesthesia, the heart and its components and the lungs were weighed, and lung tissue was preserved for morphological study.Results. The inhalation had no effect on the main cardiovascular symptoms of PH, but a positive effect on the state of the connective tissue of the lungs affected by PH was shown. The mast cell response was reduced both quantitatively and functionally. There was a decrease in tryptase expression by mast cells, with predominance of the forms without signs of degranulation. TGF-β secretion was also significantly reduced and visualized by immunopositive cells in alveolar cellular structures and vessel walls.Conclusion.
