The acute stroke is one of leading causes of mortality and disability both in Russia Federation and worldwide. The specialized vascular centers and units proved to be effective in improving diagnostics, treatment and functional outcome inpatients in various countries. The purpose of article is to evaluate efficacy of regional vascular center (RVC) in Tyumen. The functioning of RVC in 2011-2017 was assessed using purposefully developed and implemented score card of medical care quality assessment in vascular centers. The epidemiological data for 2007-2017 was obtained from statistical materials of the Department of Health of Tyumen oblast. The epidemiological parameters were calculated both in absolute units by simple summing up of cases of illness and in relative units per number of population. It was established that all diagnostic and treatment procedures in RVC were implemented according actual medical standards. The significant increase of the percentage of patients hospitalized during first three hours after the onset of stroke symptoms was established. The patients receiving thrombolytic therapy was observed, with an improvement of functional status of patients upon discharge. The significant improvement of early diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in the service area of RVC was demonstrated. The development and implementation of the plan of a regional vascular center placement and stroke patient routing enabled optimization of medical care accessibility to this group of patients and increased identification of CVD.

To study the effect of сavinton comforte (CC) on the severity of cognitive impairment and motor awkwardness in patients with chronic brain ischemia (HIGM). Material and methods. There were 30 patients (8 men, 22 women) aged 50—65 years (61.6±4.9 years on average) with AHU with cognitive impairment. We used tests of MINI-Cog, Munsterberg, TMT), ADL). QC appointed 10 mg 3 times a day for 3 months. Results. Against the background of therapy, the improvement of constructive praxis and short-term memory, an increase in the speed of visual search and visual-motor function, an increase in the level of selectivity of attention, an improvement in the reproduction of visual images and perception, an increase in the speed of the motor task (drawing strokes). Conclusion. The obtained data can testify about the improvement of indicators of function of a small motility of brushes on the background of improvement of cognitive functions.

Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is one of the most common diagnoses in middle-aged and elderly patients in the practice of an outpatient neurologist. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of CCI in these patients is often established only on the basis of complaints of headache, dizziness, instability during walking, and lower mood. At the same time, other diseases that cause these symptoms are not diagnosed, patients do not receive treatment, which considerably worsens quality of life and leads to anxiety and depression. A variety of diseases, such as headache, peripheral vestibular vertigo, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's syndrome, are frequently hidden under the diagnosis of CCI. The leading neurological syndrome in CCI is cognitive impairment that can be both moderate and reach the level of dementia. Approximately 40% of patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease complain of headache that is usually caused by mixed primary headache. The management tactics for a CCI patient suffering from headache is aimed at treating primary headache, modifying vascular risk factors, and managing cognitive impairment. The paper discusses the use of choline alphoscerate in patients diagnosed with CCI.

Today, stroke is the third most common pathology after cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as the leading cause of disability in the world. Although some progress has been made in the field of primary and secondary stroke prevention over the past few decades, a deeper knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease is needed to significantly improve diagnosis and therapy. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important, recently identified class of posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. MiRNA can be used as a tool for therapeutic interventions. This review considers a role of miRNAs in the regulation of experimental stroke and in the development of carotid artery stroke. A potential role of miRNAs as promising biomarkers of stroke is discussed.

Material and methods. One hundred and twenty-eight patients (63 men and 65 women) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were examined at the pre-dialysis stage of the disease. All patients underwent a complex clinical and laboratory examination with determination of the lipid spectrum, uric acid, fibrinogen, calcium and cystatin C, and subsequent calculation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To assess structural changes in carotid arteries, ultrasound dopplerography was performed. Depending on the thickness of the intima-media (TIM), the entire sample is divided into CKD groups with no signs of carotid atherosclerosis (SC), n=70 and on CKD with SC, n=58. Results. Patients of the second group (CKD with SC), had higher body mass index (p<0.05), systolic (p<0.05) and central (p<0.05) arterial pressure (BP) and blood cystatin C (p<0.05). In the same group, there was a significant decrease in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05) compared with those of the first group (CKD). The age of patients and the content of cystatin C (p<0.05) influenced the increase in TIM. Significant positive correlations between cystatin C content and TIM, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05), and a negative correlation cystatin C content and GFR were noted in patients of the second group. Conclusion. The increase in the level of cystatin C in blood plasma in CKD indicates the development of structural changes in the carotid arteries, the increase in the levels of systolic and central arterial pressure, the decrease in the concentration of HDL cholesterol, which is associated with significant inhibition of GFR.
