Hypercapnia not only acts as a potent neuroprotector but also increases tissue tolerance to ischemia and reperfusion. Hypercapnic effects are based on many different mechanisms including energy metabolism modulation, adaptive signaling pathways activation, histological damage reduction, pro-inflammatory factors, angiogenesis activation, and activation of synthetic processes in neurons. The summarized data indicate prospects for further research to better understand the molecular and physiological aspects of neuroprotection during hypercapnia and hypoxia, as well as to determine the conditions under which the best neuroprotective effect is achieved with a subsequent reduction in neurological deficits. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: hypercapnia, hypoxia, neuroprotection, permissive hypercapnia, ischemia, stroke","PeriodicalId":507371,"journal":{"name":"Issue 4 2023","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139147507","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}

On the other hand, chronic stress leads to a disruption of the respiratory system's adaptive capabilities, which may contribute to pathological conditions development and accelerated ageing. Aim of the Study: the study aimed to assess the lung ventilation function state and bronchial patency in women who have experienced chronic stress caused by war (CSW). Subjects and Methods. A total of 91 women aged 31-78 years who experienced CSW and 79 women in the age group of 29-74 years who did not experience CSW were examined. To diagnose the state of stress, the anxiety level (personal and situational) was determined using the Spielberger-Hanin test. The biological age of the respiratory system was calculated using a developed formula. Results. The impact of CSW did not significantly affect lung ventilation function and bronchial patency in middle-aged and older women. In young women who experienced CSW, there was a decrease in bronchial patency compared to women who did not experience CSW. At the same time, in young women who experienced CSW, the ageing of the respiratory system was accelerated. Conclusions. CSW by war significantly does not affect lung ventilation function and bronchial patency in middle-aged and older women. However, in young women, CSW leads to a reduction in some indicators of bronchial patency. The impact of CSW results in the ageing of the respiratory system in young women. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: chronic stress caused by war (CSW), ageing, women, ventilation, bronchial patency","PeriodicalId":507371,"journal":{"name":"Issue 4 2023","volume":"1139 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172373","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}

Some of the examined women had been under occupation for an extended period. In contrast, others, from May 2022 to May 2023, experienced the strong influence of war factors such as missile and artillery shelling, staying in bomb shelters, or other shelters. Due to the military actions, the examined individuals were subjected to significant stress factors, which inevitably affected their psychoemotional state. To compare, data from 79 women examined before the Russian-Ukrainian war were used as a control group. The groups of women examined before and during the war did not differ in anthropometric indicators. To understand the age-related characteristics of civilian women, they were distributed into age groups of 30-44, 45-59, and 60-74 years. ECG registration was carried out using the ECG-recorder DiaCard (Solvaig, Ukraine). The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) was performed by application DiaCard v. 1.0.0.73. ECG measurements were taken from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in the supine and standing positions (5 min). The study of HRV in women during wartime and the comparison of obtained results with the pre-war period revealed that war-related stress induces changes in HRV characteristics of various types of stress. In the examined women during wartime, there is a decrease in overall HRV, primarily due to HF oscillations, indicating a reduction in parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Such changes are typical for mild stress. Changes in HRV under conditions of military stress depend on the age of individuals and are more pronounced in young and elderly women. No significant shifts in heart rate variability were observed in individuals of average age. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: heart rate variability; woman; stress; war","PeriodicalId":507371,"journal":{"name":"Issue 4 2023","volume":"879 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139178243","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}

Among the mechanisms of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders development after MET, endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays an important role. The study aims - to assess the functional state of the microvessels and large arteries endothelium in men after a mine-explosive injury. Materials and methods: the functional state of the skin microvessels endothelium was determined using a two-channel laser Doppler flowmeter BLF-21D \"Transonic Systems Inc\" (USA) during the test with the creation of reactive hyperemia. The function of the large arteries endothelium was determined using the D.S. Celermajer test, with post-occlusion reactive hyperemia according to the generally accepted method on the Nemio XG device, SSA-580A (Toshiba) with a high-frequency linear sensor with a central frequency of 7 MHz. We examined men with mild MET (average age 37.7 ± 1.5 years). The control group was represented by 43 practically healthy men without MET (average age 41.8 ± 2.1 years). Results: dysfunction of the microvessels endothelium was found in most persons with MET (69.1%), compared to men without MET (41.9%). Dysfunction of the large vessels endothelium was found in 40.4% of examined persons with MET. Persons with MET have a combination of large and small vessel endothelial dysfunction in 23.4% of cases, at the same time persons without MET have a higher proportion of isolated microvessel endothelial dysfunction (34.9%). Conclusions: men with MET often have arterial endothelial dysfunction with microvascular endothelial dysfunction together, whereas men without MET have predominantly isolated microvascular endothelial dysfunction. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: mine-explosive injury; functional state of the endothelium; microcirculation.","PeriodicalId":507371,"journal":{"name":"Issue 4 2023","volume":"125 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183352","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}
