We analyzed results of examination of 210 men and 210 women with type 2 diabetes who applied for medical care to the VM center of Endocrinology during 1997-2014. A virtual control group was formed matching real patients in terms of the number, sex, age, and height having ideal body mass index, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The average risk of cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes was equal to 4,56±0,254% compared with 0,6±1,028% in the virtual control group. The differences was significant (p <0,001). The minimum risk for the patients of the two groups was estimated at 0,001% and 0,01% respectively. The maximum risk of cardiovascular death is 34,17% in patients with diabetes and 8,24% in controls. It is concluded that type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular death.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Carotid arteries of 78 patients with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes mellitus and without carbohydrate metabolism disorders were examined by multislice computed tomography. RESULTS: The study revealed various types of atherosclerotic plaques differing in the composition of lipid, lipid-fibrotic and calcium components. The latter were especially well expressed in diabetes. CONCLUSION: All types of atherosclerotic plaques are roughly equally represented in the structure of atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries in patients with metabolic syndrome in the absence of type 2 diabetes. Diabetic patients had vascular lesions with especially high density of atherosclerotic plaques.

The aim of this study was to explore manifestations of arterial hypertension (AH) in young men employed in the stress associatedfield works. Material and methods. A total of 68 young men, exposed to job stress (JS) of different severity during 1 to 5 years were surveyed. The control group was formed of persons whose daily work was unrelated to operational activities. The study included ambulatory monitoring (AM) blood pressure (BP) on different days of the week, comparing the results of the office and DMBP determination and assessment of resistance to a variety of diagnostic loads. Results. The study revealed an increase of AMBP indicators during the working day and their normalization at weekend. The comparison of the results of office and ambulatory determination of BP demonstrated that different forms of stressful AH (stable, isolated office and latent) occurred significantly more often than in the control group. These changes almost completely disappeared at weekends. The tolerance ofpsychoemotional testing was much worse than that of traditional exercises. It is proposed to more extensively use AMBP during regular medical examinations of young men exposed to JS in order to establish a timely differential diagnosis of various forms of stressful hypertension.

The maintenance of dose intensity and management of adverse events are keys to successful treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with imatinib. Therapeutic monitoring and testing the drug level in blood are the efficient tools for the treatment of patients with CML and can be usedfor analysis of treatment failure or suboptimal response to therapy, suspected noncompliance, drug interactions or unexpected adverse reactions.

This includes the enhancement of availability ofphysical education and adapted sports programs. One of the best practices for the improvement ofphysical activity among the population is the "Ready for labour and defense" training system (GTO). However, it is not adapted for those with physical challenges and disabilities. To involve this special fraction of the population in physical activity and participation in the GTO system, disability groups eligible for this activity need to be identified. They can include individuals with visual (VI), intellectual (II), hearing (HI), and locomotor problems as well as those with transplanted organs (TO). Also, minimum disability criteria (MDC) for the participants from each group which would make them eligible to practice an adapted GTO system should be defined. The development of MDC for individuals with VI, II, HI, and TO is relatively easy as they are common for most adapted sports. However, it remains a challenge for persons with locomotor problems since they make up a very diverse group bearing in mind that the rules of the International Paralympic Committee envisage different MDC for different adapted sports. There are two possible solutions: (1) to develop specialized MDC for each sport discipline included in the GTO system, (2) to develop universal MDC for all disciplines. The next step in promoting the GTO system among individuals with physical challenges and disabilities will be the development of the para- GTO program that would be unique and adapted for all categories of the disabled individuals.

The data are presented about the negative impact of the infection on the state of the musculoskeletal system, the development of migraine, progression of diffuse liver disease and the risk of developing liver cancer. The paper also provides information on the possible effects of Helicobacter pylori infection on the formation of halitosis, tympanosclerosis, male reproductive health disorders, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, and idiopathic chronic urticaria. In addition, the negative relationship between Hp infection, bronchial asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease is considered.

It is concluded that mucous microflora plays an important factor in the development ofpathology but H.pylori is not its predominant component. Modern classifications of chronic gastritis provide a basis for a deeper insight into evolution of chronic gastritis and its transformation into cancer. The diagnosis of ‘chronic gastritis with functional gastroduodenal dyspepsia syndrome‘ is invalid.

Elevated levels of LH (19.8 ± 4.2 E/l), FSH (22.7 ± 6.1 U/l), total cholesterol (6.8 ± 2.6 mmol/l), triglycerides (3.3 ± 1.0 mmol/l), and glucose (9.9 ± 3.8 mmol/l) suggested disturbances of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Two thirds of the patients had Klinfelter syndrome associated with mental retardation and psychic disorders. Patients with cleft palate and mental retardation and with psycho-social disorders had 45 and 43 CA G repetitions respectively, those without associations 38-40 repetitions. Increased frequency of CAG repetitions was directly proportional to the level ofpsychic development, social adaptation and professional activity but inversely proportional to the development of masculine sexual traits.

We evaluated the prevalence of hyperlipoproteinemia and adipose tissue activity based on the results of screening for resistin level, aggravated heredity, disordered hydrocarbon metabolism, overweight, arterial hypertension, behaviour (physical overstrain, hypokinesia, smoking, inadequate dietary regime). The risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and overall risk of cardiovascular disorders were calculated.

The secondary aim was to evaluate the influence of these genetic factors on the progress of hepatic fibrosis in case of failure of the above treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 146 patients with CHC-1 were examined. We studied the RNA genotype of hepatitis C virus, blood group specificity, IL-28B gene polymorphism, and severity of hepatic fibrosis (puncture biopsies). Dynamics of hepatic fibrosis was followed up in 40 patients who failed to develop the virologic response. 20 control patients did not receive AVT. The multifactor significance criterion was used to identify the initial factor that produced the highest effect on SVR. RESULTS: SVR was observed in 56.8% of the patients. Its efficiency was most significantly influenced by. the combination of blood group specificity and interleukin 28B gene polymorphism (p = 0.000024). Combination of blood group (0)1 with C/C or T/T IL-28B genotypes, A(II) with C/T or T/T and B(III) with T/G was associated with SVR in 100, 88.2, and 94.4% cases respectively. It was absent in patients with blood group A(II) in combination with double-nucleotide substitution in rs8099917 of the IL-28B gene (TG and GG genotypes); these patients suffered progressive fibrosis. SVR occurred in 83.8% of the patients with blood group B(III). CONCLUSION: The knowledge of blood group in patients with CHC-1 and IL-28B gene polymorphism treated with the use of pegylated interferon α-2 and ribavarin allows to predict SVR with a probability of 100% in case of blood group 0(1) and C/C or T/T genotypes, 88.2% in case of blood group A(II) and single-nucleotide C>Tsubstitution in rs8099917 locus of the IL-28B gene, 94.4% in case of blood group B(II) and single-nucleotide T>G substitution in the rs809991.7 locus, 83.8% in case of blood group B(III). Treatment of patients with these genetic traits with antiviral drugs of direct action has no appreciable advances over treatment with AVT in combination with pegylated interferon α-2 and ribavarin (SVR above or around 85%). Patients with blood group A(II) and single- or double-nucleotide substitution in rs8099917 (TG or GG genotypes) have minimal chances to produce SVR to the above treatment. Simultaneous progression of hepatic fibrosis suggest that such therapy is undesirable in these cases. They should be regarded as main candidates for interferon-free therapy. Combination of blood group specificity and interleukin 28B gene polymorphism is a simple and reliable predictor of SVR and dynamics of fibrosis in patients with CHC-I receiving AVT with pegylated interferon α-2 and ribavirin; also, it may be an instrument of selection of patients for interferon-free therapy.

The study showed positive dynamics of the above metabolic parameters with normalization of carbohydrate metabolism in 60% of the patients and angioprotective effect of prescribed therapy. The proposed treatment can be used to prevent diabetes mellitus.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The general clinical examination of 15 patients aged 30-70 yr with EH was supplemented by measuring blood glucose and creatinine levels, the lipid status (LWLP, HDLP, TG), duplex scanning of carotid arteries, and evaluation of arterial stiffness by pulsed wave contour analysis. RESULTS: AIx and age were independent risk factors of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with EH and severity of its manifestations. AIx values over 25% were with high specificity (over 85%) associated with atherosclerotic lesions.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 93 patients with complicated (n = 46) and uncomplicated (n = 47) coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation. Blood IL-6, IL-1, creatinine levels, calcium, sodium and potassium in blood and saliva, melatoni n in urine were determined on days 1-3 after hospitalization. 6-hydroxymelatonin was measured by HPLC in urine collected between 23 p.m. and 8 a.m., melatonin i in urine collected between 8 a.m. and 23 p.m. RESULTS: Complicated coronary syndrome was associated with increased levels of melatonin (night), blood IL-10 and Na, salivary, Na and Ca while the uncomplicated condition with increased blood melatonin (daytime), IL-6, creatinine, Ca, Na, K, and salivary K. 90 patients were followed up within 12 months after discharge. End-points developed in 36 (40%) of them. Logistic analysis yielded variables and 2 logistic regression equations The data on night melatonin +5 and +4 were included in ROC analysis. The night melatonin +5 values over 0.7453 were associated with increased risk of complications in the post-hospital period (6 months) and values of 0.7453 or lower with the enhanced probability of uncomplicated clinical course. Prognostic sensitivity was estimated at 90%, specificity at -54.39%. The night melatonin +4 values over 0.2903 were associated with increased risk of complications in the post-hospital period (12 months) and values of 0.2903 or lower with the enhanced probability of uncomplicated clinical course. Prognostic sensitivity was estimated at 77.8%, specificity at -59.26%. CONCLUSION: The night melatonin +5 and +4 models can be used to predict the clinical course of acute coronary syndrome during 6 and 12 months of the post-hospitalization period.

MATERIALS AND METHODS...AIM: To evaluate the importance of lipoprotein(a) for the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in patient under 40 years of age after acute myocardial infarction or acute cerebral circulation disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analysed the data from two departments of the Regional Vascular Centre for 2013-2015 including 90 case histories of patients of different age (mean 57.8 ± 3.4 yr) and studied standard risk factors, such as age, sex, smoking habits, dyslipidemia, aggravated heredity, arterial hypertension (AH), obesity. Standard examination of 7 patients under 40 years of age was supplemented by measuring lipoprotein(a) by the immunoturbodimetric method regarding the levels over 0.3 g/l as abnormally elevated. RESULTS: The study group was dominated by young and middle-aged men (85.2 and 84% respectively). The key risk factors were increased LDLP level (88%) and smoking (70%) in patients under the age of 40 and AH in middle-aged men (100%, p < 0.004). Arterial hypertension was also diagnosed in 59% of the younger subjects. Increased LDLP levels most frequently occurred in senior patients (90%). The group of patients under 40 yr included 15% of those having a single risk factor. In this group, 22% of the patients were at high risk calculated prior to the development of vascular events, 58% at moderate and 20% at low risk. 42.8% of the patients had elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. CONCLUSION: Based on the relative risk scoring scale, 22% of the patients under 40 years of age were at risk of myocardial infarction or cerebral circulation disorders prior to the development of vascular events. However, these patients like those of other age groups frequently had traditional risk factors, such as smoking (67.5%), AH and dyslipidemia (66.6% each). Total cholesterol was elevated only in 47.6% of the patients while LDLP and LP(a) in 92 and 42.8% respectively.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 127 patients with stable coronary heart disease (mean age 59.4 ± 5.7 yr) including 63 with MS and 64 without it. The control group consisted of 80 practically healthy subjects. Bloods insulin was determined by immunochemoluminescence, glycated hemoglobin (HbA,) by immunoturbidimetry, total cholesterol, HDLP cholesterol and triglycerides by enzymatic colorimetric method, oxidized LDLP IL-l, IL-6, and tunour necrosis factor-α by enzyme immunoassay. The degree of depression was estimated using the Zung scale. RESULTS: Blood insulin level in healthy subjects, CHD patients with and without MS was 6.3 (6.20;6.62), 15.5 (13.96, 16.3) and 9.5 (9.2, 10.1) mcIE/ml respectively (p < 0.001). HOMA-IR directly correlated with MBI, waist circumference, HbA1-total cholesterol, triglyceride, oxidized LDLP IL-1β, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α levels and negatively with the HDLP cholesterol level. CONCLUSION: In patients with CHD, metabolic syndrome is associated with a set of additional cardiovascular risk factors, viz. hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, increased HbA1c level, dyslipidemia, oxidative modification of LDLP activation of proinflammatory cytokines, and depressive disorders. Close correlation of HOMA-IR with certain pathogenetic factors ofCHD allow to use it as an indicator of cardiovascular risk in patients with CHD and MS.

We compared the results of three approaches: various forms of transdermal coronary interventions (TDI) including delayed (24-72 hr) ones (n = 30), surgical myocardial revascularization within 8-12 weeks after the onset of recurrent myocardial infarction (n = 25), and conservative therapy (n = 251). Overall cardiovascular lethality was estimated during 5 years in 101 patients. It was shown that recurrent myocardial infarction is a predictor of high risk of death associated, in the absence of reperfusion therapy, with high intra-hospital and long-term lethality. TD1 soon after recurrent IM does not exclude possibility of its application in a later period. Various interventions including delayed ones markedly decrease the frequency of complications and lethal outcome that remains high in their absence. At the same time, severe lesions of the coronary bed in many patients with recurrent MI limit the possibility of using TDI and should be regarded as indications for planned surgical myocardial revascularization. Coronary bypass surgery after myocardial scarring prevents progress of left ventricle dysfunction, improves its contractility and increases life expectancy. Enhanced availability of reperfusion strategies in the form of TDI and/or delayed surgical myocardial revascularization opens up new possibilities for effective treatment of recurrent Ml.

The main groups of prokinetics are beta-blockers of dopamine receptors, inhibitors of acetylcholine esterase (or their combination with dopamine receptor blockers), 5-HT4-receptor agonists. They find wide application for the treatment of gastroesophgeal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia and constipation, obstipational form of irritable bowel syndrome, and other conditions accompanied by motor function disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
