Collateral blood circulation of blood vessels and foci of cerebral ischemia in ischemic stroke were examined in all patients to select a treatment method. The effect of collateral circulation in patients with recanalization of the carotid and cerebral arteries on the outcome of acute stroke treatment was analyzed. According to such parameters of neuroimaging as a large nucleus and poor collaterals, 25 out of 54 patients did not respond to revascularizing therapy, which was proved by CT data and a slight regression of neurological deficit within 14 days. Patients with a large nucleus and poor collateral circulation do not respond to revascularization surgery. Compared groups of patients according to CT data. It was found that the level of development of collaterals was associated with better clinical results. Adequate collateral circulation can help maintain tissue viability in the absence of recanalization. The choice of revascularization method depends on the state of collateral circulation, the size of the ischemic focus (according to CT, MRI) and the duration of treatment from the onset of stroke. Diagnosis of ischemia should begin with MRI angiography on the first day or CT angiography from the second day, which will allow assessing the level of collaterals, giving an idea of collateral perfusion in patients and the size of the lesion.","PeriodicalId":404961,"journal":{"name":"Медицина сьогодні і завтра","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124376104","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}

It was found that they had impaired cognitive functioning whose structure and severity were related to the clinical type of the primary episode. In patients with depressive variant revealed approximately equal deterioration of test performance across all assessment vectors, while reproduction (immediate and delayed) observed synchronous deterioration of indicators, with the degree of deterioration of characteristics between copying and immediate and retarded reproduction. In the manic variant the performance of test is significantly different from the depressive variant. Patients with a manic variant showed the lowest indicators in the presence of individual elements of the figure, accuracy and diligence. At the same time, indicators for most estimation vectors are unstable, varying with immediate and delayed reproduction without some systematicity. Such features reflect on the cognitive functions of the maniac state with its acceleration of the speed of thinking, its chaos, instability of attention, difficulties of concentration and inability to productive activity. In patients with mixed episode, the Ray–Osterrieth test scores reflect complex contradictory tendencies of changes in the affective area, related to the rapid phase change and the presence of opposite affective manifestations. Quantitative values of indicators in patients of this group has an intermediate position between indicators of patients with depressive and manic variants.

Clinical threshold is a complex of adaptive mechanisms based on the plastic properties of nervous tissue. High-field modern magnetic resonance tomographs provide an opportunity to look under the clinical threshold and timely prescribe or optimize therapy. Thanks to the timely conduct of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, it is possible to identify preclinical changes in the nervous system, as well as timely identify adverse trends during the course of the disease in order to minimize damage to the nervous system. Changes in the ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces of the brain in patients with multiple sclerosis and Wilson–Konovalov’s disease were described. Changes were revealed that indicate the presence of atrophic changes characteristic of both demyelinating and neurodegenerative pathologies. Progressive atrophic changes in the brain with a stable clinical picture may serve as a sign of the loss of a neurological reserve. The phenomena of rapidly increasing atrophy of the brain, increasing atrophy of the corpus callosum and cerebellum in the early stages of the pathological process are unfavorable prognostic signs of both multiple sclerosis and Wilson–Konovalov’s disease. Timely assessment of the severity of atrophy can help in deciding on a drug change, a complex of intensive neuroprotective measures, and to personify therapy.","PeriodicalId":404961,"journal":{"name":"Медицина сьогодні і завтра","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134189935","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}

However, the spermatozoa survival rate remains low in patients with oligoastenoteratozoospermia. Therefore the development of effective cryopreservation methods for spermatozoa from pathospermia is relevant. The effectiveness of cryopreservation spermatozoa from oligoastenoteratozoospermia man using penetrating and non-penetrating cryoprotectants was compared. Sperm motility, viability and morphological characteristics were evaluated after cryopreservation with glycerol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The average number of spermatozoa count in fresh ejaculate was (11.0±0.2) mln/ml. After isolation of active motile fraction the number of cells was (3.8±0.3) mln/ml and (84.3±8.4) % from them were motile (group 3).

Despite the high rate of spermatozoa survival in group 1 the number of motile cells decreased to (27.3±4.8) % after cryoprotectant removing stage. Morphological analysis revealed that the incidence of spermatozoa head abnormalities was (25.97±2.67), (19.21±2.67) and (20.57±1.19) % in group 1–3, respectively. The differences of spermatozoa midpiece and tail abnormalities in the study groups were statistically insignificant. The use of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a cryoprotectant allows preserving 90 % of survived spermatozoa from oligoastenoteratozoospermia men after freeze/thawing. The set of spermatozoa head, neck and midpiece abnormalities is significantly lower after cryopreservation with polyvinylpyrrolidone compared with routine method with glycerol.

The control group consisted of 20 practically healthy people. The average age of patients in group 1 was (67.44±1.34) years old, and in group 2 was (66.85±1.72) years old. The content of IGF-I and endostatin was determined by the enzyme immunoassay. To determine IGF-I, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used using the Human Insulin like growth factor-I ELISA Kit (MEDIAGNOST, Germany). The endostatin level was determined by the enzyme immunoassay using the Endostatin Elisa Kit (BIOMEDICA, Austria). The biochemical study included the determination of the level of TC and HDL, carried out by the peroxidase method using a set of reagents «Cholesterol Liquicolor» from «Human» (Germany) in blood serum stabilized with heparin. The obtained correlations indicate that an increase in the level of endostatin in the blood serum is significantly associated with an increase in the levels of TC, LDL, TG, CA and a decrease in HDL. Also, reliable data were obtained on the feedback between IGF-I and the level of TC, LDL, TG and CA, as well as a direct relationship between the indicators of IGF-I and HDL. The data obtained indicate that endostatin as a marker of angiogenesis is associated with obesity and dyslipidemia, and also indicate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of IGF-I under conditions of high autoimmune activity.","PeriodicalId":404961,"journal":{"name":"Медицина сьогодні і завтра","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128056786","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}
