However, not all obese people have the traditional abnormal clinical plasma lipid levels, which is especially common in children and adolescents. Given this controversial relationship it is necessary to clarify the new lipid biomarkers in obesity. From this point of view, of particular interest is lipidomics, which allows identifying the diversity of different types of lipids presented in a cell, tissue, biological fluid or in the entire body using tandem mass spectrometry. The human lipidomic profile reflects lipid metabolism, including the early phase of pathophysiological changes associated with the formation of the obesity phenotype. Studying the connection between the lipidome and metabolic plasticity can provide new insight into the biological mechanisms of the development of obesity and its complications, the relationship between fat and carbohydrate metabolism in the development of insulin resistance, disruption of the functioning of intestinal incretins (cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide 1 and 2 etc.). From a public health perspective, a thorough understanding of the pathophysiological changes that lead to obesity at the earliest stage will have far-reaching promise for slowing the enormous global incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Authors represent a descrip-tive analysis of the current applications of ICG in pediatric surgery based on a systematic bibliographical review on this topic. Material and methods used: the study searched articles in 3 major scientific databases (MEDLINE, PubMed and eLIBRARY.RU) published after 2000 for the keywords as follows: fluorescent-guided surgery, indocyanine green, ICG navigation, children. Two researchers independently reviewed the titles and abstracts of the primary search to avoid discrepancies. Results: initial database search yielded 762 titles. After the exclusion, 25 full-text publications were included in the generalization. Most studies were conducted in Italy (n=6) and the UK (n=6) followed in descending order by North America (n=5), Japan (n=4), Spain (n=2) and China (n=2). The distribution by time of publication was as follows: 2019 - 3, 2020 - 2; 2021 - 8; 2022 - 12. A systematic review includes 396 surgical interventions performed on pediatric patients using ICG. The most frequently performed surgical procedure in childhood was the Palomo varicocelectomy (66). This is followed by: abdominal tumors - 59, esophageal anastomosis - 53, renal cyst and duplication - 38, chest tumors - 37, ovarian tumors - 28, cholecystectomy - 26, kidney tumors - 24, liver tumors - 19, identification aortocoronary fistulas - 16. Most often, the drug was administered during the operation - 15 publications, 1 day before the operation - 9 publications, immediately be-fore the operation - a single publication. The methods of administration were distributed as follows: intravenous - 21, intraluminal - 2, intraorgan - 1, intratesticular - 1. Dosing of the drug depends on the method of application of ICG and the area of its application. Most of-ten, the drug was used intravenously in dosages from 0.1 to 0.75 mg/kg. For tumors, in-creased doses of the drug were used from 1.5 mg/kg for tumors of the abdominal cavity to 2 mg/kg for hyperinsulinism. Insufficient visualization of anatomical objects was only re-ported in 3 cases. Information about the side effects of the introduction of ICG in the body of a child is scarce and is represented by only 2 mentions of cardiac arrest and desaturation, which both ended safely. Conclusion: current trends demonstrate that fluorescent-guided surgery has become commercially available and is increasingly being used among pediatric surgeons to treat a wide range of diseases, including hepatobiliary surgery, oncology, urolo-gy, cardiac and vascular surgery, and is also used to assess blood flow in operated organs of a patient.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

Materials and methods used: a single-center retrospective cohort study of 188 patients (126 boys/62 girls) aged 2 months to 11 years old with KD in 2014-2019. Depending on the outcome of the disease, the two groups of patients were identified: those with recovery (171/188, 91%), and with unfavorable outcomes (17/188, 9%) in the form of persistent coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in 12 (6.4%) cases and death in 5 (2.7%) cases. Authors used the clinical-anamnestic method, clinical and biochemical blood tests and coagulogram. The diagnosis of CVS changes was based on the results of echocardiography, magnetic resonance angiography, coronary angiography and ultrasound of non-coronary vessels. The levels of N-terminal fragment of B-type brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide precursor (proANP) were determined. Results: CVS lesions in the acute period of KD were detected in 92 (48.9%) patients. Non-coronary changes in the cardiovascular system, represented by myocarditis (25%), pericarditis (9.6%), transient mitral valve insufficiency (26.1%) with valvulitis (4.3%) were determined in the acute and subacute periods of KD. Damage to the coronary arteries (CA) in the acute period, according to echocardiography, was detected in 61 (32.4%) children, of which: coronaritis - in 43 (22.8%), transient ectasia - in 9 (4.7% ), CAA of various sizes - in 49 (26.1%). Predictors of unfavorable KD outcomes are the presence of coronary (p=0.000) and non-coronary changes (p=0.001) in the cardiovascular system during the acute period of the disease, blood clots of any location (64.7% v. 3.5%, p=0.000). Based on the results of univariate logistic regression analysis, significant threshold levels of natriuretic peptides were established to determine the risk of developing adverse KD outcomes: an increase in NT-proBNP in the acute period of KD more than 984 pg/ml with 79% sensitivity, 84.8% specificity, 82.9% overall predictive value; an increase in proANP greater than 1.015 nmol/l with 87.5% a sensitivity, 75.8% specificity and 78.0% overall predictive value. Conclusion: risk factors and predictors for the unfavorable KD outcomes have been identified as follows: the appearance in the acute period of CAA of medium and especially giant sizes, pericarditis, myocarditis, damage to the valvular apparatus, thrombosis of the coronary artery and cardiac cavities, high levels of proANP, NT-proBNP, which can be used as a diagnostic tool in KD with poor outcomes.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

In the current standards of treatment for SLE the biological therapy is not included in the first line of therapy. The data from previous studies do not allow drawing a clear conclusion about the benefits of using biological therapy. The purpose of this research was to study the outcomes of SLE therapy using the rituximab biosimilar BCD020 compared with the standard non-biological therapy. Materials and methods used: a single-center cohort retrospective study of 79 medical records of children aged 0 to 18 y/o suffering from SLE were analyzed: 19 received rituximab as part of multicomponent therapy in the first 6 months from the onset of the disease, the remaining 60 received standard non-biological therapy. Damage to organs and systems, laboratory data, doses of corticosteroid therapy and disease activity were assessed using the SELENA-SLEDAI tool at the time of initiation of therapy and one year after. Results: higher degree of disease activity involving the central nervous system and kidneys was noted in the group of children receiving rituximab therapy. No statistically significant difference between the data of the two groups, including disease activity, was noted in 12 months after the start of the therapy. There was a statistically significantly more pronounced decrease in the SLEDAI activity index after a year in the group of children who received rituximab (p=0.001) compared to children who did not receive it. During rituximab therapy, infectious complications were noted in 3 cases, including the development of meningitis; and a single patient had developed with bicytopenia. Conclusion: rituximab was used in children with higher disease activity, with involvement of organs and systems whose damage leads to an unfavorable prognosis (CNS and renal damage). Rituximab can be considered as an option in the treatment of severe variants of SLE with a poor prognosis due to its ability to more intensively arrest disease activity compared to standard non-biological therapy.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

The presence of ANA in patients with AD has a certain prognostic significance since in a number of diseases it is associated with their clinical features and the nature of the process as well as the expected response to the treatment with various drugs.
