The pathogenesis of most chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CNSLD) in children is based on a long-term inflammatory process, often leading to the formation of pulmonary fibrosis in the structurally altered tissue, which requires dynamic monitoring of patients, including the study of lung function.Aim. To assess the indicators of the lung function in children with chronic bronchopulmonary pathology accompanied by pulmonary fibrosis.Materials and methods. 84 children with CNSLD were examined. The main group consisted of 45 children with CNSLD with pulmonary fibrosis (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital malformations of the lungs, chronic bronchitis, and post pneumonia fibrosis). The comparison group consisted of 39 children with CNSLD without pulmonary fibrosis. The average age of children in the study groups was 9,3±0,48 years. The patients underwent multispiral computed tomography of the lungs with a virtual bronchoscopy program and intravenous bolus contrast enhancement. Evaluation of lung function was carried out by spirometry.Results. In patients in remission, the average values of the ventilation capacity of the lungs in both groups were within the predicted values. However, in patients with fibrotic changes, pulmonary dysfunction was detected 2 times more often than in children with CNSLD without pulmonary fibrosis (35.5% and 15.4%, respectively, p<0.05). Restrictive ventilation disorders were diagnosed only in the group of patients with pulmonary fibrosis. In children with pulmonary fibrosis, the risk of reduced ventilation capacity is significantly higher than in children with CNSLD without pulmonary fibrosis (OR=3.04, 95% CI 1.049–8.78).Conclusion. The data obtained can serve as a prerequisite for further development of predicting the nature of the course of the disease, identifying “risk groups” for the development of fibrotic changes for a personalized approach to the treatment and follow-up of patients with CNSLD.","PeriodicalId":9598,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin Physiology and Pathology of Respiration","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91181505","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 study the impact of comorbidities on health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with asthma, and their interaction with disease control.Materials and methods. We interviewed and examined 360 patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, aged 18 to 62 years, who received standard basic therapy. The examined patients were divided into 2 groups: without concomitant diseases (n=193) and with comorbid conditions (n=167). QoL and the state of the emotional sphere were assessed using the SF-36, AQLQ, HADS questionnaires. The level of asthma control was determined by the ACT questionnaire. The lung function was assessed by means of spirometryResults. Chronic rhinosinusitis, atopic conditions, obesity or overweight, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diseases of the hormonal system were noted among the most frequent comorbidities. Out of 167 asthma patients with comorbidities, 107 had one, and 60 had two or more comorbid conditions. Analysis of the overall QoL according to the SF-36 questionnaire showed a decrease in physical activity in patients with comorbidities. When analyzing specific QoL according to the AQLQ questionnaire, a significant difference was found in the “Activity” domain, the level of which was lower in the group of patients with comorbidity. Calculation of the odds ratio (OR) showed that the presence of comorbid conditions in a patient with asthma increases the likelihood of a decrease in QoL in the domain of physical activity by 2.7 times, and in the presence of two or more concomitant diseases – by 8.4 times.Conclusion. The presence of comorbid pathology reduces the physical functioning and general activity of patients with asthma. The chances of a decrease in QoL in the domain of physical activity increase many times in the presence of two or more comorbid conditions. The addition of concomitant diseases eliminates the influence of the emotional state and, in particular, anxiety, on general health, vitality, and the role of physical problems in limiting the life of asthma patients.","PeriodicalId":9598,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin Physiology and Pathology of Respiration","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83858167","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 COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health problem. In COVID-19, systemic inflammation is accompanied by a “cytokine storm”, hypercoagulability, and generalized vasculitis, and new evidence suggests that lipid transportation disorders may exacerbate the course of the disease. Aim. Discussion of the role of lipids, fatty acids, and various cascade molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of COVID-19-associated dyslipidemia. Results. When conducting a systematic analysis of the scientific literature in the PubMed database, we concluded the following: lipoproteins, oxidized forms of phospholipids and fatty acids can lead to organ damage due to hyperactivation of scavenger of the innate immune response. Thus, restoring lipoprotein function with agents that increase apolipoprotein A-I levels or blocking the relevant scavenger receptors with neutralizing antibodies may be effective in the treatment of COVID-19. The key role of lipoprotein-transported omega-3 fatty acids in the production of specialized proreactive mediators has been demonstrated, and activation of the leukotriene pathway has been shown to be associated with the severity of COVID-19. Conclusion. A growing number of scientific studies indicates that lipid and fatty acids have both positive and negative effects in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Additional studies or preclinical models evaluating the eicosanoid profile in patients with COVID-19 will provide new insights into the interaction of the coronavirus with “the host” and the regulation of the inflammatory response.","PeriodicalId":9598,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin Physiology and Pathology of Respiration","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81203077","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}

During the first wave of the pandemic COVID-19, there was limited and poor quality information on the contribution of children to the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. By early August 2020, several confirmed cases of transmission from children had been published, with no clear evidence that the frequency of transmission from children is higher than that of adults. Since the beginning of the pandemic, children have accounted for 18.4 % of the total number of registered cases, and at the beginning of January 2022, 25.5 % of the total number of COVID-19 cases. Most of the new cases of the disease are Omicron strains. Even with the predicted generally less severe illness resulting from Omicron infection in children, doctors fear that more children may be hospitalized in the coming weeks, given the ever-increasing number of cases of infection with the virus. Data on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among children compared with adults is needed to inform COVID-19 risks and prevention strategies, including COVID-19 childhood vaccination policy. Aim. To display literature data containing a review of studies on the transmission of coronavirus infection in children; to analyze the features of the vertical transmission route. Materials and methods. An analysis was made of publications containing data from studies of cases and features of the transmission of COVID-19 disease in children, including from mother to child. Results.

The thoracic lymphatic duct in the upper half of the body collects lymph from the left lung, the left half of the heart, the walls of the left half of the chest, from the left upper limb and the left half of the neck and head. Therefore, the left-sided localization of the revealed pathological changes, with the involvement of the mediastinum and neck in the process at the same time, can be a sign of damage to the thoracic lymphatic duct (at the location), and therefore the key to a successful diagnosis of the disease. Aim. Demonstration of modern possibilities of clinical and radiological diagnosis of cystic malformation of the thoracic lymphatic duct (CMTLD). Results. In the literature, the pathology of the thoracic lymphatic duct is designated by two terms: “lymphangioma” and “cystic malformation of the thoracic lymphatic duct”. According to the generally accepted classification of vascular formations ISSVA (adopted at the 20th ISSVA conference in Melbourne in April 2014, last revised in May 2018), the term “lymphangioma” with regard to lymphatic malformations is considered obsolete, its use is recommended for true benign tumors of the lymphatic vessels. CMTLD – benign, extremely rare lymphovascular lesions resulting from embryological disorders (weakness of the duct wall and valve mechanism) in the development of the lymphatic system. The median prevalence is less than 1 % among all mediastinal cystic formations. Effective non-invasive diagnostics at the initial visit of the patient already at the outpatient stage deserves professional evaluation. We present the own clinical and radiological observation of a 26-year-old patient without any special clinical manifestations, in whom volumetric changes in the mediastinum on the left were detected during routine fluorography. The nature (X-ray semiotics) of preoperative imaging using computed tomography has been clarified. The revealed X-ray and pathoanatomical changes were compared. Conclusion. CMTLD – congenital lymphatic anomalies, more frequent and symptomatic in children. In older patients, acquired and asymptomatic CMTLD are most often diagnosed. The logistics of modern imaging technologies makes it possible to successfully diagnose such a rare disease as CMTLD already at the stage of the patient’s initial visit to the doctor.","PeriodicalId":9598,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin Physiology and Pathology of Respiration","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84843305","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 European Respiratory Society, the American Thoracic Society, and the Russian Respiratory Society are currently working on updating the technical standards and interpretive strategies for routine lung function tests. There is a search for recommendations for the best choice of reference values, the optimal limits of normal and severity grading of detected impairments. An important step in this work is the standartization of pulmonary function tests interpretation, including spirometry. Aim. Review of existing concepts for the spirometry interpretation, according to new approaches to their quantitative and qualitative assessment. Materials and methods. The scientific publications on the PubMed and eLIBRARY.RU platforms were analyzed. The materials posted on the official websites of the European Respiratory Society, the Russian Respiratory Society, the American Thoracic Society and the Global Lung Function Initiativewere also used. Results. A brief overview of the main reference values for spirometry is presented: the European Coal and Steel Community (1993), Global Lung Function Initiative (2012, 2021), R.F.Klement et al.

The issues of defining the lower limit of the normal, diagnosing ventilatory impairments and assessing the severity of lung function reduction using the z-score and a percentage of the predicted value when analyzing the results of spirometry are considered. Conclusion. The type of ventilatory impairment and severity should be presented in the spirometry interpretation just like the vital capacity assessment. The obstructive ventilatory impairment is generally diagnosed by spirometry, if the signs of restrictive or mixed patterns are present, it is recommended to determine the total lung capacity by body plethysmographymethod.

To give an anatomical description of the placental cotyledon bloodstream in women who had an exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI) in the second trimester of gestation. Materials and methods. A study was conducted on 117 placentas, of which 101 were from women with full-term pregnancy and 16 from women with premature birth. In all cases, CMVI led to the development of chronic compensated (CCPI), subcompensated (CSPI) and decompensated placental insufficiency (CDPI). 5 groups were identified: the first group consisted of 30 placentas from women with full-term pregnancy seronegative for cytomegalovirus (CMV); the second – 27 placentas from patients who had an acute phase of chronic CMVI, initiating the development of CCPI; the third – 23 placentas from women with exacerbation of CMVI, leading to the formation of CSPI; the fourth – 21 placentas from patients with an exacerbation of CMVI, which caused the development of CDPI and prolongation of pregnancy to the term of delivery; the fifth – 16 placentas from women with an acute phase of chronic CMVI, initiating the formation of CDPI and miscarriage. The assessment of the bloodstream of cotyledons of the placenta was carried out by injection of contrast (red lead-paint on dryingoil) through the vein of the umbilical cord. To obtain X-ray phlebograms, the apparatus RUM-20M “Sapphire” was used. Results. It was shown that the total number of cotyledons did not differ in the studied groups. In the first group, anatomical forms with a well-contrasted bloodstream were 21.4±2.17, with weakly contrasted vessels – 9.3±0.47, and with no contrast in the veins, arteries and capillaries of the villi – 2.9±0.22. In the placentas of the second group, in comparison with the first one, no differences were found in the number of cotyledons, in which blood vessels were clearly visualized and not detected. However, the number of anatomical forms with poorly contrasted vessels increased by 1.51 times (p<0.05). The placentas of the third group in comparison with the second one were characterized by a decrease by 1.97 times (p < 0.001) in the proportion of cotyledons with a clear contouring of the vascular network and an increase in anatomical forms with a poorly contrasted bloodstream by 2.34 times (p<0.001).

To study the state of uteroplacental-fetal circulation, placenta and fetus in women with bacterial and COVID-19-associated CAP in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Materials and methods. The history of childbirth and the results of examinations of 120 women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy were analyzed, including 37 women with moderate CAP of bacterial etiology, 48 women with COVID-19 infection. The comparison group consisted of 35 women with uncomplicated pregnancy. The state of the placenta and fetus was assessed according to the data of ultrasound and utero-placental-fetal blood flow – Doppler study. Pulsation indices (PI) and cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) were analyzed. Results. According to our data, the risk of developing chronic placental insufficiency in pregnant women with COVID-19-associated CAP of moderate severity was higher than in groups of women with CAP of bacterial etiology and in the comparison group. In groups with CAP, significant differences were found in the indices of CPR, PI of the uterine arteries, umbilical cord arteries and middle cerebral artery, corresponding to I (A, B) or II degree of disturbance of the uteroplacental and/or placental-fetal blood flow. Chronic intrauterine fetal hypoxia and fetal growth retardation were more frequently detected in the group with COVID-19-associated CAP. Newborns born to mothers with COVID-19 infection have an increased risk of neonatal damage to the central nervous system (CNS). Conclusion.
