Physiology of breathing during sleep predisposes to the development or worsening of the respiratory disorders in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) even if waking respiratory function remains relatively normal. Physicians, who assess patient's state only during the day, in some cases can underestimate this problem. Respiratory abnormalities can provoke insomnia, which additionally affects patient's quality of life. Supplemental oxygen and pressure support ventilation improve blood gases during sleep, but in many cases, insomnia persists. In many cases, such patients need the treatment with hypnotics. Widely used drugs in insomnia are benzodiazepines. They are rather effective but can cause respiratory depression and respiratory failure in patients with COPD. Z-hypnotics are comparable to classical benzodiazepines but much more safe and rarely worsen respiratory parameters. Melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists, antihistamines, antidepressants and neuroleptics can be effective in some patients with insomnia, but insufficient data about their safety in case of respiratory pathology restrict the use of these drugs in patients with COPD. The orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant is a novel hypnotic with the potential benefits for patients with COPD because it strongly improves sleep but does not depress respiration and has a minimal negative impact on daytime cognitive function.

© 2018, Dynasty Publishing House. All rights reserved. The objective. To determine vitamin D status in children with rheumatic disease who live on the territory of Russia. Patients and methods. A pilot study was conducted that included 52 children (35 girls and 17 boys) aged 5 to 17 years (11.88 ± 0.48 years), among them 29 children with systemic connective tissue disorders (SCTD) and 23 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). All patients underwent complex clinical-laboratory and instrumental examination in order to confirm the diagnosis and assess the patients’ health. Vitamin D status was assessed by 25(ОН)D serum levels using the method of chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results. Sufficient levels of 25(ОН)D (>30 ng/l) were found only in 5 (9.5%) children, vitamin D insufficiency (25(ОН)D 21–30 ng/l) was observed in 6 (11.5%) children, deficiency (25(ОН) <20 ng/l) in 41 (79.0%) children, among them in 7 (13.4%) it was severe (25(OH)D <10 ng/l), in spite of a long-term intake of low-doses of cholecalciferol (100–400 U/day) by 40 (76.9%) patients. Average levels of 25(ОН)D in patients with SCTD were significantly higher than in patients with JIA (20.86 ± 2.15 ng/l vs. 14.98 ± 0.91 ng/l, p = 0.0151), deficiency was more rarely found in these patients (69.0% vs. 91.3%), which was to a certain degree conditioned by more intensive vitamin D therapy. Conclusion. Insufficiency/deficiency of vitamin D is noted in an overwhelming majority of children with RD. Standard therapy with low doses of cholecalciferon offered to patients with RD is not sufficient for obtaining optimal 25(ОН)D levels and needs correction.

© 2018, Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective. To study the efficacy of various methods of non-drug therapy of diseases manifested by vertigo and dizziness in neurological practice. Material and methods. Referral and final diagnoses were compared after neurovestibular examination of 599 patients (177 men and 422 women), aged 25 to 79 years (mean age 55 years), with various causes of vertigo. Patients underwent vestibular rehabilitation, trainings on the stabiloplatform with biological feedback (biofeedback), repositioning maneuvers in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Severity of dizziness on a Visual analogue scale of dizziness (VAS-d) and balance on stabilography before and after a course of vestibular rehabilitation was analyzed. Results. Before neurovestibular examination, the diagnoses of vertebrobasilar insufficiency (44%), hypertensive or atherosclerotic encephalopathy (35%), cervical spondyloarthrosis (8%), autonomic dystonia (11%)) are often considered mistakenly as the causes of vertigo and dizziness. After neurovestibular examination, the diagnoses were as follows: BPPV (39%), phobic postural vertigo (29%), Ménière’s disease (14%), vestibular neuritis (11%), multisensory dizziness in elderly (5%). The effectiveness of repositioning maneuvers in BPPV was 90,2% after the first session and 100% after the second session. After a course of vestibular exercises and trainings on the stabiloplatform with biofeedback, there was the marked improvement in indicators of stabilography and VAS-d in patients with vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, phobic postural vertigo (p<0.05). Vestibular rehabilitation was most effective if started within the first month after vestibular neuritis. There was the high efficacy of complex rehabilitation, including vestibular exercises and trainings on stabilographic platform with biofeedback, in patients with Meniere’s disease. In the rehabilitation of patients with phobic postural vertigo, better results were achieved when vestibular exercises were combined with trainings on stabilographic platform with biofeedback and psychotherapy. Conclusion. The results demonstrated the low accuracy of diagnosis of diseases manifested by vertigo and dizziness and high efficacy of non-drug therapy in most cases, especially BPPV, vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, postural phobic vertigo.

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Cornea protects the eye against natural and anthropogenic ultraviolet (UV) damage and mechanical injury. Corneal incisions produced by UV lasers in ophthalmic surgeries are often complicated by oxidative stress and inflammation, which delay wound healing and result in vision deterioration. This study trialed a novel approach to prevention and treatment of iatrogenic corneal injuries using SkQ1, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant approved for therapy of polyethiological dry eye disease. Methods: Rabbit models of UV-induced and mechanical corneal damage were employed. The animals were premedicated or treated with conjunctival instillations of 7.5 μ M SkQ1. Corneal damage was assessed by fluorescein staining and histological analysis. Oxidative stress in cornea was monitored by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) using thiobarbituric acid assay. Total antioxidant activity (AOA) was determined using hemoglobin/H2O2/luminol assay. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were measured using colorimetric assays. Results: In both models corneas exhibited fluorescein-stained lesions, histologically manifesting as basal membrane denudation, apoptosis of keratocytes, and stromal edema, which were accompanied by oxidative stress as indicated by increase in lipid peroxidation and decline in AOA. The UV-induced lesions were more severe and long healing as corneal endothelium was involved and GPx and SOD were downregulated. The treatment inhibited loss of keratocytes and other cells, facilitated re-epithelialization and stromal remodeling, and reduced inflammatory infiltrations and edema thereby accelerating corneal healing approximately 2-fold. Meanwhile the premedication almost completely prevented development of UV-induced lesions. Both therapies reduced oxidative stress, but only premedication inhibited downregulation of the innate antioxidant activity of the cornea. Conclusions: SkQ1 efficiently prevents UV-induced corneal damage and enhances corneal wound healing after UV and mechanical impacts common to ocular surgery. Its therapeutic action can be attributed to suppression of mitochondrial oxidative stress, which in the first case embraces all corneal cells including epitheliocytes, while in the second case affects residual endothelial cells and stromal keratocytes actively working in wound healing. We suggest SkQ1 premedication to be used in ocular surgery for preventing iatrogenic complications in the cornea.

© 2018 Voprosy Sovremennoi Pediatrii - Current Pediatrics. All rights reserved. Background. Infections are the main cause of death for patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. In adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mortality caused by respiratory infections is 2-5 times higher than in the population. One of the frequent infectious complications in the course of treatment with tocilizumab, the first-choice drug for treating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), is pneumonia characterized by a poor clinical picture, normal values of laboratory indices of the disease activity (ESR, C-reactive protein) with pronounced changes in the lungs revealed by computed tomography. In case of acute respiratory infection in children with systemic JIA, immunosuppressants and genetically engineered biological preparations (GEBP) are discontinued. This often leads to an exacerbation of the underlying disease and the progression of a pathological process. At present, vaccination against pneumococcal infection in Russia is not included in the standard for managing patients with rheumatic diseases. Studies of the safety and efficacy of vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in patients with sJIA receiving genetically engineered biological preparations were not conducted. Clinical Case Description. The article shares the experience of vaccination of a girl aged 9 years with a 13-valent PCV that was conducted in the course of a scientific investigation, which studied the efficacy and safety of vaccination of children with systemic JIA prior to prescription of GEBP tocilizumab. Vaccination did not cause a deterioration in the course of the main disease (1 month), led to a reduction in the incidence of acute respiratory infections (from 4 to 1 time within 6 months before and after vaccination), and discontinuation of antibacterial drugs within 6 months after vaccination. Conclusion. The safety of a 13-valent PCV in a child with sJIA and a decrease of the incidence of respiratory diseases after vaccination, their complications, and the use of antibacterial drugs have been shown.

© 2018 Voprosy Sovremennoi Pediatrii - Current Pediatrics. All rights reserved. Background. Insufficient efficacy or intolerance of the first TNF-α inhibitor in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an indication for the appointment of a second inhibitor. Golimumab is a new TNF-α inhibitor registered for treating JIA under pediatric indications. Clinical Case Description. At an early age, the patient had an onset of polyarticular JIA. Due to the aggressive and rapidly progressive course, failure of therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, methotrexate and glucocorticosteroids for intra-articular administration, infliximab was prescribed to the patient, with a positive effect. Subsequently, the patient developed a secondary resistance to infliximab, inflammatory changes in the joints relapsed; thus, a second TNF-α inhibitor (golimumab) was prescribed. In the course of therapy, pain and signs of arthritis in the patient were reversed, and the range of motion in the affected joints increased. After one year of therapy, JIA remission was ascertained. At the same time, the child was not administered oral glucocorticosteroids. The duration of remission of the joint syndrome was 5 years. Adverse events were not serious and did not constitute a basis for drug discontinuation. Conclusion. Switching to a second TNF-α inhibitor (golimumab) was effective in a patient with a secondary resistance to the first TNF-α inhibitor.

© 2018 Voprosy Sovremennoi Pediatrii - Current Pediatrics. All rights reserved. Abstarct:-Background. An important goal of treating patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is to achieve the best quality of life associated with health. Objective. Our aim was to assess the impact of methotrexate plus etanercept therapy on the quality of life of patients with early and late JIA. Methods. The prospective study included patients with early and late JIA without systemic manifestations. The patients' quality of life was assessed with the help of questionnaires for children and parents: the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Generic Core Scale, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Rheumatology Module, and the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3). The quality of life was assessed prior to the therapy and after one, six, and 12 months of treatment. Results. 150 children with JIA aged 5.1 (2.0; 17.7) years; 50 children aged 4.0 (2.3-11.4) years in the group of etanercept monotherapy, 50 children aged 5.0 (3.2-9.0) years in the group of methotrexate monotherapy, and 50 children aged 9.9 (6.4-13.0) years in the group of methotrexate plus etanercept combination therapy. All groups showed low scores on all questionnaires before treatment, compared to healthy children. In the course of therapy, there was a tendency for score increase to almost 1.0 according to the HUI3 questionnaire in all groups. After one year of etanercept therapy, the parameters of the quality of life of children with early JIA did not differ from healthy children; the score increased from 56 to 90 p = 0.942 according to the physical functioning scale and from 60 to 85 p = 0.889 according to the emotional functioning scale. In the 2nd group, there was a tendency for score increase, but a statistically significant difference was found across all scales of the questionnaire. After 12 months of etanercept plus methotrexate combination therapy in patients with late JIA, the questionnaire analysis showed that the responses of healthy children and children with JIA differed with probability p = 0.001 for the physical functioning scale, p = 0.001 for the social functioning scale, p = 0.001 for role functioning, and p = 0.001 for the total score. The score increase from 60 to 85 p = 0.789 was noted for emotional functioning scales. Conclusion. The use of questionnaires to assess the quality of life in children with severe chronic diseases can significantly improve the efficacy of treatment and ensure its control.

Two methods have been employed to purify specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies against recombinant human alpha-synuclein, produced by subcutaneous immunization with complete Freund's adjuvant. It was shown that purification on CNBr-activated Sepharose with immobilized alpha-synuclein resulted in antibody preparation with rabbit serum histidine-rich glycoprotein as a contaminant. Two-stage antibody purification procedure first on Sepharose with immobilized protein G, and then on alpha-synuclein immobilized column helps to avoid contamination and to obtain homogenous antibody preparation. Antibodies recognize different conformations of alpha-synuclein and can be used in a variety of immunochemical approaches, including immunocytochemistry.

© 2018 Publishing House of the Union of Pediatricians. All rights reserved. Background. Tumour necrosis factor alpha inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). To achieve maximum efficiency of genetically engineered biologic drugs, it is necessary to study predictors of the response to therapy. Objective. Our aim was to identify early predictors of the response to adalimumab therapy in patients with JIA without systemic manifestations. Methods. A prospective cohort study analysed treatment results of patients with JIA without systemic manifestations, who were prescribed adalimumab for the period from August 2008 to August 2014. We studied the relationship between baseline demographic indicators as well as baseline and registered after one month of treatment clinical and laboratory parameters and the best (remission according to the Wallace criteria) response to therapy after one year. Results. In the first year of therapy, 94 (43.9%) of 214 patients achieved remission according to the Wallace criteria. In a multivariate analysis, predictors of achieving remission after one year of adalimumab therapy were the improvement according to the ACR70 criterion after one month of therapy [odds ratio (OR) 3.3; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7-6.7], a history of uveitis (OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.03-3.33), a decrease in the number of joints with active arthritis after one month of therapy (OR 1.09; 95% CI 1.02-1.16). During therapy, injection reactions in the form of pain were observed in 36 (16.8%) of 214 patients, infectious diseases of ENT organs - in 85 (39.7%), of the respiratory tract - in 17 (7.9%), and tubinfection - in 13 (6.1%) children. Conclusion. The presence of uveitis, rapid reduction in the number of joints with active arthritis and a high level of response to treatment after one month of adalimumab therapy are predictors for achieving remission during the first year of treatment.

© 2018, Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. The development of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) is associated with the hyperergic reaction of the human immune system. The development of autoimmune inflammation is preceded by contact with internal or external trigger factors (adjuvants) of immune disorders. ASIA is associated with an individual genetic predisposition that is probably associated with the carriage of HLA-DRB1*01 or HLA-DRB4. The paper presents five possible options for the impact of adjuvants in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. It gives diagnostic criteria for the syndrome, as well as its clinical, laboratory and morphological manifestations. Emphasis is laid on the importance of morphological changes in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders. The spectrum of morphological changes in ASIA is extensive. The tissues show signs of immune inflammation, such as lymphohistiocytic infiltration, granulomatous inflammation, and scleroderma-like changes. The characteristic feature is the regression of clinical, laboratory, and morphological manifestations after adjuvant removal.

Статины в настоящее время являются наиболее широко применяемыми препаратами для лечения дислипидемии и наиболее эффективными лекарствами для снижения уровня холестерина липопротеинов низкой плотности и снижения риска сердечно-сосудистых и цереброваску- лярных событий. Считается, как правило, что статины хорошо переносятся, но предполагают потенциальную связь между статинами и ког- нитивными нарушениями у некоторых людей. Эта обзорная работа была проведена с учетом поиска информации о конкретной проблеме потенциального неблагоприятного влияния статинов на когнитивную сферу, целью которой было выявить рекомендации для медицинских работников по мониторингу и снижению риска потенциальных когнитивных нарушений при терапии статинами. Розувастатин, по-видимому, является более безопасным среди статинов с точки зрения влияния на когнитивную функцию. Перед началом терапии статинами нет не- обходимости в выявлении когнитивной дисфункции у пациентов, терапия статинами не сопровождается риском развития когнитивной дисфункции по данным когортных и рандомизированных исследований. При развитии когнитивной дисфункции на фоне терапии статинами необходимо доказать ее наличие и исключить другие возможные факторы ее возникновения, и оценить соотношение пользы/риска отмены терапии статинами. На основании индивидуальных особенностей пациента возможно уменьшить дозу принимаемого статина или прекратить прием препарата для оценки обратимости симптомов. В случае прекращения приема статина следует подумать об альтернативной замене на другой ингибитор ГМК-КоАредуктазы, предпочтительнее - препарат, меньше всего проникающий через гематоэнцефалический барьер, такой как розувастатин.

© 2018 Publishing House of the Union of Pediatricians. All rights reserved. Background. To assign genetically engineered biologic drugs, we need data on the predictors for response to therapy. Prognostic factors for the response to tocilizumab in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) without systemic symptoms are poorly studied. Objective. Our aim was to reveal early predictors for the response to tocilizumab therapy in patients with JIA without systemic symptoms. Methods. A retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with JIA without systemic symptoms who received tocilizumab therapy between July 2009 and August 2017. We assessed the association between the initial demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters in patients and the best response (according to the ACR90 criteria) to treatment after a year. Results. The study included 95 (girls 85%) patients; the mean age was 10.3 (6.0; 13.6). During the first year of therapy, 71 (75%), 55 (58%), 38 (40%), and 22 (23%) patients achieved the improvement according to ACR30/50/70/90 criteria, respectively; 22 (23%) patients reached disease inactive stage according to the Wallace criteria. When performing multivariate analysis, the following improvement predictors were revealed based on the ACR90 criteria after a year of treatment: decrease in serum C-reactive protein level during the first month of therapy [odds ratio (OR) 1.024; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.007-1.051], decrease in disease activity score on the visual analogue scale according to the parent/patient assessment (OR 1.048; 95% CI 1.005-1.105), early onset of the disease (OR 0.38; 95% CI 0.16-0.72), persistent oligoarthritis according to the ILAR (OR 9.9; 95% CI 1.5-109.3). During the first year of tocilizumab administration, neutropenia was registered in one patient, leukopenia - in three cases, and urticaria - in one case. Conclusion. The variant of JIA, the age at the disease onset, and the disease course pattern in the first month of tocilizumab therapy are the predictors of treatment efficacy throughout the year.

© 2018 Stolichnaya Izdatelskaya Kompaniya. The review focuses on the impairment of the carotid, coronary arteries and lower-extremity arterial disease. Systemic involvement of various vascular beds in atherogenesis is emphasized. Epidemiological characteristics of morbidity and mortality from the main clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis - ischemic stroke, ischemic heart disease and lower-extremity arterial disease are given. The current principles of drug therapy are considered from the point of view of improving the prognosis and eliminating ischemia. The basic positions of International and Russian clinical recommendations on the management of patients with the presence of certain clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are discussed. Detailed administration schemes and the preferred doses of statins and antiplatelet agents depending on the localization of atherosclerotic lesion and the severity of stenosis are described. The target blood lipids levels in the treatment with statins are given. The advantages of statins as drugs that reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications are presented. Current data on the pattern of antiplatelet use, including acetylsalicylic acid, in individuals with clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are given. The principal tactic of dual antiplatelet therapy and schemes of its use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass surgery and in individuals with a history of acute coronary disorders are considered..

The objective of the present study was to determine the biological age of the unrecognized individuals based on the analysis of CT-scanograms of the skull and the craniovertebral region in the sagittal projection. We investigated the structure of the spongy substance of the clinoid plate of the sella turcica and the clivus of the cranium, involution of the vertebrae configuration in the medial atlantoaxial articulation, frontal and sphenoidal sinuses. A total of 80 skulls of Caucasoid individuals at the age ranging from 4 to 84 years belonging to an Eastern Slavonic population (free from the pathological lesions in the above cranial structures) were available for the examination. The results of the multifactorial analysis gave evidence of the possibility to estimate the age of individual subjects based on the comprehensive aggregate qualitative and quantitative characteristic in the framework of the linear regression model by making use of the age-related changes in the frontal and sphenoidal sinuses, the sella turcica and the clivus of the cranium, the first and the second cervical vertebrae with an accuracy to within 6 years. It is concluded that the application of the systems for the automated statistical analysis of the images for the purposes of forensic medical expertise would allow to obtain the results of great practical and scientific value.

BACKGROUND: Alcohol dependence is often combined with affective disorders, in particular, depressive disorder (DD), which worsens adversely affects the prognosis of the course of both diseases and their outcomes. For the treatment of DD, drugs from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, whose representative is fluvoxamine, are used. Fluvoxamine therapy is often associated with a risk of development is shown to be ineffective, and a part of patients develop dose-dependent adverse drug reactions (ADR) and pharmacoresistance. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of CYPD6 isoenzyme activity on the efficacy and safety of fluvoxamine therapy in patients with depressive disorders, comorbid with alcoholism. METHODS: The study was conducted on 117 Russian patients with DD, alcohol-dependent comorbid. For the purpose of correction of depressive disorders within the framework of cyclothymia, fluvoxamine (Fevarin) was administered to patients at a dosage of 50−150 mg/day. Genotyping was carried out by the method of polymerase chain reaction in Real-time mode with allele-specific hybridization. Efficacy and safety were assessed using validated psychometric scales and an assessment of the severity of ADR. To evaluate the activity of CYP2D6, the method of high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry was used to measure the urinary content of the endogenous substrate of this isoenzyme and its metabolite, the ratio of 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline. RESULTS: By the 9th day of the study, the severity of depressive symptoms on the HAMD scale was statistically significantly different in patients with different genotypes: (GG) 7.0 [6.0; 8.0], (GA) 4.0 [3.0; 5.0] (p<0.001); safety indicator, estimated on a UKU scale: 3.0 [2.0; 4.0], (GA) 4.0 [4.0; 4.2] (p<0.001). The presence of differences persisted on the 16th day: (GG) 5.0 [3.0; 6.0], (GA) 1.5 [1.0; 3.0] (p<0.001); safety indicator, estimated on a UKU scale: (GG) 9.0 [9.0; 10.0], (GA) 6.0 [6.0; 7.0] (p<0.001). The calculation of the correlation coefficients between the difference in the number of scores on psychometric scales and the metabolic ratio showed a statistically significant inverse correlation of the average power degree between the efficiency index estimated by the HAMD scale (r=-0.467, p<0.05). There was no connection with the difference on the UKU scale (r=0.173, p>0.05). CONCLUSION: In a study of a group of 117 patients with DD, comorbid with alcohol dependence, the effect of CYP2D6 activity, estimated by the ratio of the endogenous substrate concentrations of pinolin and its metabolite 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline, on the efficacy of fluvoxamine therapy. This effect was also shown using the results of genotyping. The results of genotyping also showed the existence of a difference in the safety index in patients with different genotypes from the polymorphic marker CYP2D6 1846G>A.

© Bionika Media Ltd. Objective. To assess the immediate results of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for Stages IB2 and IIB cervical cancer (after neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and for the early stages of the disease. Material and methods. The paper presents the results of treating 59 patients with cervical cancer who have undergone Piver type III laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, including 33 patients with early stages (IA2, IB1, IIA1) of the disease and 26 patients with its locally advanced forms (IB2, IIA2, IIB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results. The histopathological parameters of radical surgery (the number of lymph nodes, the level of removal of the parametrium and a vaginal cuff) did not differ at the early and locally advanced stages of cervical cancer. Conclusion. Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for Stages IB2–IIB cervical cancer is an effective method for the surgical treatment of patients.
