Abstract

The objective was to assess clinical and anamnestic indicators and characteristics of blood erythrocytes in newborns according to the severity of anemia. Materials and methods: we examined the 65 case records of newborns with anemia who received medical treatment in pathology department of Rostov Research Institute of Obstetrics and Pediatrics from November, 2015 to March, 2016. All newborns were divided into 3 groups depending on the severity of anemia: I group included 40 newborns with mild case of anemia, II group – 8 infants with medium-heavy anemia, III group – 17 newborns with heavy extent of disease. Results. The most common risk factors of severe anemia on the distaff side are obesity (35.3%), anemia (100%), threatened miscarriage (65,%), cytomegalovirus infection (41%), gestational diabetes (or 41.2%). Conclusion: The risk factors of anemia in newborns are unfavorable for the antenatal period complicated by anemia, threatened miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, cytomegalovirus infection, presence of respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral ischemia II degree in combination with hemolytic disease of the newborn.

Abstract

The objective was to assess risk of acute bronchitis due to the use of the split-system. Materials and methods: Data were collected at the healthcare districts covered by the outpatient department of the 4th City Hospital of Sevastopol. Results: The use of the split-system without regular cleaning is a risk factor for health, which is associated with a 3.5-fold increase of the incidence of acute bronchitis. Regular cleaning of the split-system decreases risk of acute bronchitis to the level comparable to that of subjects who do not use an air conditioning system. Conclusion: Measures for regular cleaning of the split-system are recommended to manage risk of acute bronchitis.

Abstract

Objective: to study bone mineral density indexes in zone of L1-L4 lumbar vertebrae and left and right femur proximal departments including left and right femoral necks in postmenopausal women according to genotypes of -1997 C>A polymorphism of COL1A1 gene. Materials and methods: 483 Caucasian women from eastern and central regions of Ukraine were examined. All women were postmenopausal. Osteodensitometry was carried out by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry method. Detection of a gene COL1A1 -1997 C>A polymorphism was carried out by the real-time PCR method. Results: it was established that the low bone mineral density indicators in zone of left femoral neck were associated with AA genotype (Р=0,040), and in zone of right femoral neck and proximal department – with AA and CA genotypes (Р=0,008-P=0,035). Association of polymorphic variations of COL1A1 gene (-1997 C>A) with mineral density of L1-L4 lumbar vertebrae was not established. Conclusion: the obtained data can be used for detection of predisposition to postmenopausal osteoporosis development and increase of treatment-and-prophylactic actions effectiveness.

Abstract

Purpose: to evaluate the impact of stenting of the pancreatic duct on the course of biliary pancreatitis for patients with impacted stone of major duodenal papilla.

Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of the treatment of 90 patients with impacted stone of major duodenal papilla that underwent endoscopic interventions on the major duodenal papilla in 1/3 of cases accompanied by the installation of a stent of the pancreatic duct. Depending on the stenting, the patients were divided into two groups - the first group (n = 31 patients) with the stented pancreatic duct, the second group (n = 59 patients) - without stent placement. The groups were compared by the dynamics of changes and the normalization time of laboratory indicators, sonographic signs of biliary and pancreatic hypertension before and after the intervention.

Results: Following differences were observed: in the group of stented patients the hyperamylasemia has reduced with the period of normalization of amylase 1.5 times less (p = 0.005) , decrease of amylase at the stented patients with signs of pancreaticectasia at ERCP by 55.6% comparing to the patients without stent - 7.1% (p = 0.005). Laboratory signs of development of post-ERCP pancreatitis were noted in 6.5% of stented and 11.9% of non-stented patients. The average hospitalization time in the first group was 11.5 ± 4.1 days and in the second - 15.5 ± 9.6 days (p = 0.032).

Conclusion: Stenting the pancreatic duct in patients with impacted stone of major duodenal papilla reduces the risk of postmanipulation pancreatitis, speeds up the normalization of laboratory markers of acute biliary pancreatitis, reduces the time of hospitalization of this category of patients, has not only a preventive but also therapeutic effect.

Abstract

Objective: This work was to estimate the influence of antibodies to human glycoprotein CD4 and IFN-γ on the T-cell immunity and the cytokine levels in patients with HIV and HIV/HCV during the standard antiretroviral therapy. Materials and methods: Randomized clinical trial in parallel groups. 4 groups were included: patients with HIV receiving ART (20) or ART and antibodies (AB) (19) for 3 months; patients with HIV/HCV, receiving ART (17) or ART and AB (20) for 3 months. The obtained data included: CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ cell count; IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-4 concentrations; HIV viral load. Results: The significant increase of CD4+ cell number and IFN-γ were found in patients receiving ART and antibodies. These changes were followed with more significant decline in the viral load. Conclusion: The antibodies to human glycoprotein CD4 and IFN-γ added to standard ART increased the CD4+ cell count and IFN-γ levels in patients with HIV/HCV, followed by the trend to increase the number of patients with viral load >50 ml-1. Thus, the administration of ART supplemented with antibodies to human glycoprotein CD4 and IFN-γ resulted in the increase of antiviral immunity. Further clinical trials in HIV or HIV patients with co-infections could be recommended.

Abstract

The increase of lifetime and the relative improvement of individual health indicators generally have not yet led to a balance of health among the populations of different countries and individual population groups. Health indicators differ between different population groups in all countries. At the same time, the level of health depends on many factors and environmental conditions, as well as on the individual lifestyle. Socioeconomic determinants that have the greatest impact on the formation of human health are amenable to adjustment at the state level. It should be noted that the role for each of the determinants in shaping health is not the same, and the determinants themselves may be different for population groups and countries. This is particularly important for the definition of differential health indicators, the use of which in public policy will reduce the differences in health status within each country and between countries.
