Background. Аn L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid. The daily average requirement is 4.2 mg. The L-arginine exhibits angioprotective properties, regulates proliferation and apoptosis, oxidative processes, blocks platelet aggregation and has a fibrinolytic effect ‒ antithrombotic (prevents the adhesion of circulating platelets and leukocytes) for anti-inflammatory effects. The likelihood of developing thrombotic complications in all patients with COVID-19 is very high, such patients are recommended to double dosage of anticoagulants. Objective. To study the combination of the anticoagulant therapy and the drug Tivortin in patients with coronary artery disease with COVID-19. Materials and methods. 28 patients with the cardiac ischemia of the exertion stenocardia functional class II-III with COVID-19 were examined. The patients were divided into the main and control groups. One of the groups, in addition to the anticoagulant therapy Clexan 2 times 0.6 mg, have taken the drug Tivortin, manufactured by “Yuria-Pharm” (Ukraine), containing L-arginine (4.2 mg). Results. The therapy with the use of the nitrate oxide donors in combination with the anticoagulants in the main group showed an increase in exercise tolerance, in the SpO2 level, i.e., a decrease in hypoxia in the main group compared with the control group. Conclusions. The addition of Tivortin to the therapy of anticoagulants that inhibit the activity of the blood coagulation system may increase the chances of survival of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Aim. The aim of the study was to develop the model for establishing early diagnosis of hypertension in patients with gout. The model was based on data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring.Material and Methods. A total of 69 patients with gout were enrolled in a single-stage cross-sectional prospective study. Three study groups were assigned as follows: group 1 (main group) comprised hypertensive men with gout (n = 41); group 2 (comparison group) comprised normotensive men with gout (n = 28); group 3 (control) included relatively healthy men  (n = 30). Daily blood pressure monitoring was performed on an outpatient basis using a BPLab device (Peter Telegin, Russia).Results. The significant intergroup differences were found in the following parameters: lowest, mean, and highest 24-hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) values in patients of main and comparison groups (р < 0.001) and in patients of main and control groups (р < 0.001); mean and maximum 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values in patients of main and comparison groups (р < 0.001) and in patients of main and control groups (р < 0.001); lowest, mean, and highest 24-hour pulse blood pressure (PBP) values in patients of main and comparison groups (р < 0.001) and in patients of main and control groups (р < 0.001); mean, and maximum 24-hour PBP values in patients of comparison and control groups (р < 0.001). Median values of the lowest, mean, and highest 24-hour SBP in hypertensive patients with gout were significantly higher than the corresponding values in normotensive patients with gout and healthy men of group 3 (p < 0.001). Median values of mean and maximum 24-hour DBP in main group were higher than the corresponding values in comparison group and control group (p < 0.001). Median values of the lowest, mean, and highest 24-hour PBP in hypertensive patients with gout exceeded the corresponding values of patients of control group (p < 0.001). Median values of the mean and maximum 24-hour PBP in main group exceeded the corresponding values of patients of comparison group (p < 0.001). Based on the binary logistic regression model, the prognostic algorithm for hypertension development in gout patients was created using the parameters of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring as predictors and the cut-off K value. If the value of K was > 0.54, then the hypertension development was predicted in gout patients. The sensitivity of developed diagnostic model was 0.84, and the specificity was 0.95.Conclusion. Тhe proposed model, based on the assessment of average-daily values of the lowest, mean, and highest SBP, allowed to establish early diagnosis of hypertension in patients with gout with the accuracy of up to 90%.

Abstract Background Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is the most dangerous presentation of venous thromboembolic disease. The role of thrombolysis in massive pulmonary embolism has been studied extensively, but the same is not there for submassive pulmonary embolism. This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of thrombolysis in acute submassive pulmonary embolism. This was a prospective, case-control, observational study. Patients presenting with acute submassive pulmonary embolism were divided into thrombolysis group and control group depending on whether they received thrombolysis plus anticoagulation or anticoagulation only, respectively. Results A total of 86 patients were included in the study. Forty-two patients were in the thrombolysis group, and 44 patients were in the control group. The mean ± SD age in the control and thrombolysis groups was 63.3 ± 14.7 and 56.4 ± 13.8 years, respectively. The two groups were well matched in sex distribution and associated comorbidities like COPD, active surgery, major trauma, and immobilization. On echocardiography, dilated RA/RV in pre-treatment vs. post-treatment was seen in 20 (45.5%) vs. 20 (45.5%) in the control group and 26 (61.9%) vs. 11 (26.2%) in the thrombolysis group. Similarly, RV systolic dysfunction in pre-treatment vs. post-treatment was seen in 24 (54.5%) vs. 21 (47.7%) in the control group and 22 (52.4%) vs. 8 (19.0%) in the thrombolysis group. Pulmonary artery pressure in pre-treatment vs. post-treatment was 64.4 ± 15.0 vs. 45.9 ± 9.9 mmHg in the control group and 68.3 ± 17.4 vs. 31.4 ± 6.9 mmHg in the thrombolysis group. In control vs. thrombolysis group, there were 5 vs. 1 death, 6 vs. 1 hemodynamic decompensation, and 6 vs. 1 patient needing mechanical ventilation. Conclusion Thrombolysis in submassive pulmonary embolism is associated with better right ventricular functions, lower pulmonary artery pressures, and comparable mortality rates.

Detection Of Biomarkers

The prevalence of comorbidities has been growing for the last decades. Therefore, the detection of biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes is of great practical importance. The aim of this study was to assess the biomarkers of osteo-defficiency in the course of secondary osteoporosis in patients with comorbid chronic pancreatitis and arterial hypertension. We examined 110 patients with chronic pancreatitis: 70 of them had comorbid hypertension, and 40 patients were found as having no comorbidities. The age of patients ranged from 33.2 ± 2.1 (main group) and 32.9 ± 3.1 years (comparison group); women predominated (72.9% and 70%, respectively). The control group includes 78 healthy individuals of the same age and sex. Diagnostic investigation included studying clinical and anamnestic characteristics of patients (duration of the disease, manifestations of the course, frequency of recrudescence, fractures) and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism: osteocalcin, total bone phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the establishment of correlations between these parameters and incidence of complications. It was found that in the isolated course of chronic pancreatitis there is a high (R = 0.60) statistically significant (p <0.01) correlation between the levels of osteocalcin and pancreatic elastase-1. A negative statistically significant (p <0.01) mean correlation (R = -0.49) was found between the content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and age of the patients having comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and hypertension, as well as there is a moderate correlation between the content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the duration of hypertension, which is statistically significant (R = 0.36, p <0.01). The levels of total bone phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in the main group exceeded the reference values in 2.5 and 1.9 times respectively (CMU; U = 866.0; p <0.01), while in the comparison group were 2 times (total bone phosphatase) and 1.3 times higher (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) times, respectively (CMU; U = 821.0; p <0.01) that enables to diagnose the development of osteopenic conditions. That is, the combined course of chronic pancreatitis and hypertension should be considered as unfavourable tandem in the development of secondary osteoporosis and requires early osteoporotic screening.

Introduction. Urethral transposition remains the most popular operation for postcoital cystitis, however, traumatism and complications, especially such as pudendal neuropathies, dyspareunia and anorgasmia, make us continue to search for effective, but safer techniques.The study objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the proposed treatment of postcoital cystitis, including removal of urethrogymenal adhesions and subsequent paraurethral filler implantation, in comparison with isolated hymenoplasty.Materials and methods. Since 2013, 75 patients with postcoital cystitis have been treated. Patients were divided into two groups: main group – hymenoplasty (removal of urethral adhesions) with paraurethral filler implantation (n = 45), control group – hymenoplasty (n = 30). The gel was injected paraurethrically, fan-shaped, in the volume of 1–2 ml, from a point on the 6-hour conditional dial, creating a gel cushion and thus raising the meautus and distal urethra. To assess the quality of treatment, profile questionnaires were used.Results. In the main group of patient, the quality of life improved in 35 (78 %); in 5 patients, due to the process of biodegradation of the gel during 1 year, the cystitis recidivated, which required the filler reimplantation. In 5 patients, the operation was not effective. In the control group the efficiency of isolated hymenoplasty was noted in 3 (10 %) patients, relapse of cystitis occurred in 27 (90 %) patients, which later required the implantation of a filler. No complications were observed.Conclusions. The suggested combined technique allows to improve the results of treatment of patients with postcoital cystitis. The operation does not carry the risk of damage to the sprigs of the genital nerve, can serve as an alternative to traditional urethral transposition. The main disadvantage is the natural biodegradation of the gel, which may create the need for its reintroduction.

The aim: Is to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method of constructing occlusal surfaces of orthopedic structures by monitoring the dynamics of functional indicators of occlusion and the functional condition of the masticatory muscles. Materials and methods: The object of the study was made up by 64 patients with included defects of the dentition of the 3rd class according to Kennedy. Patients were divided into two equal groups – the main group (patients were treated by using the suggested method of construction of occlusal surfaces of orthopedic structures) and control (dentition defects were replaced according to the traditional protocol). Results: The results of evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed method showed that the index of symmetry of the anterior bundles of the temporal muscles dropped by 18.5%, the index of symmetry of the masticatory muscles reduced by 22%, the torque of the mandible reduced by 32%, the index of stabilizing occlusal – by 27%, relative efforts of balance disturbance for more than 10 % regarding the left and right reduced by a factor of 4.4, the rate of opening time was 1.5 times higher than before, the rate of time of opening of the jaws – 1.8 times. Conclusions: The use of the suggested method of orthopedic treatment with temporary structures leads to probable changes in the studied functional parameters in comparison with the control group (p <0,05).

BACKGROUND: Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is a common cerebrovascular disease in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of alteplase and urokinase in treating ACI. METHODS: A total of 96 patients with ACI, who were treated with alteplase and urokinase, were selected as the main subjects. Among these patients, 45 patients with ultra-early acute cerebral infarction, who received intravenous thrombolysis with RT-PA (alteplase), were included in the treatment group, while 51 patients with acute cerebral infarction, who were treated with urokinase in the same time period, were included in the control group. RESULTS: The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were significantly lower in the treatment group and control group (P< 0.05) at two hours, seven days and 14 days after thrombolysis, when compared to those before thrombolysis. The bleeding rate was significantly lower in the control group, when compared to the treatment group (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The intravenous thrombolysis with urokinase or alteplase in the ultra-early stage of acute cerebral infarction can reduce the neurological injury symptoms and effectively improve the prognosis of patients with stroke. Urokinase is lower in risk of bleeding, but better in safety, when compared to alteplase.

Development and introduction of materials influenced on reparation process in a myometrium is actual direction of modern obstetrics in connection with the increase of cesarean section rate. One of such preparation is «Collost», it stimulates the processes of neoangio- and myogenesis and excludes the disorderly growth of scars tissue. Aim: To study the influence of bioplastic material «Collost» on the reparation process in myometrium after cesarean section. Objectives: to estimate the morpho-functional state of scar on uterus after cesarean sections depending on implantation of collagen membrane. Material and methods: There were included 13 female rabbits in experimental part of the study. In clinical part of the study there were included 20 pregnant woman with intraoperative application of «Collost» (main group), 30 pregnant woman without «Collost» implantation (comparison group) and 10 pregnant with vaginal delivery (control group). Results: histological, immunohistological and immunological findings of postoperative uterine scars of female rabbits showed significant differences of expressions of miosin, vascular endothelial growth factor and collagen I type. The myometrium was significantly thicker in the area of uterine scar in main group (with collagen membrane implantation) than in comparison group. Conclusions: bioplastic material «Collost» leads to full formation of muscular wall and vascular ture in the area of postoperative uterine scar.

The article demonstrates the importance of the application of new biomedical technologies in the correction of somatoform disorders in athletes. In observation were 86 athletes playing sports. Comprehensive clinical, psychological and instrumental examination showed that 11, 3% of them have some somatic pathology, but the complaint didn’t match up to this pathology, she had overdone character. Moreover, in this group in 36.4% of cases, there are previous histories of acute infectious diseases. The athletes were divided into two equal groups (main and control) by 43 people. In the main group, the athletes were treated orally with shungite in the form of tablets, in the control group - the psycho-pharmacotherapy. The same clinical and instrumental effect was observed in both groups. In the control group the undesirable effect of reducing muscle tone, drowsiness was detected. This allowed the authors to consider that it is expedient to use shungite for the correction of sym-tomatics in athletes with somatoform disorders.

This paper is a slice of a big project exploring the transformative consciousness among college students. Drawn from Wolinsky’s (1993) notion and exemplars of quantum consciousness exercises, researchers of this study developed and validated eight modules named as the transformative consciousness exercises and established their effects on the intrapersonal and interpersonal relationship skills among college students. Using an experimental research methodology, particularly the randomized pretest- and posttest-control-group design (Fraenkel, Wallen, & Hyun, 2012), the researcher-made Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Relationship Skills Scale (IIRSS) was administered to the randomly selected 23 students in the experimental group and 21 students in the comparison group. No significant differences were found between the two groups prior to the intervention. For eight weeks, at a one-and-a-half-hour session per meeting, the experimental group underwent the transformative consciousness program while the control group underwent the self-awareness program. Results showed that there were significant differences found between the experimental and control group. Furthermore, the intrapersonal and interpersonal skills of students in the experimental group were higher than those who were in the comparison group; and such difference was significant. Thus, it could be construed that transformative consciousness exercises may have been instrumental in increasing the participants’ intrapersonal and interpersonal relationship skills. The use of these modules, for intervention and further research, is hereby recommended for those interested in transformative consciousness studies.
