The emerging epidemic of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), received the status of an emergency of international importance and attracted the attention of not only health professionals, but also the population around the world. Although the risk of severe health consequences from COVID-19 for young people without comorbidities is relatively low, an increase in the incidence of infection in this age group may lead to an increase in the proportion of people with severe disease, as well as the spread of infection among older age groups who are in close contact with them and are at high risk of mortality from COVID-19. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical features of the new coronavirus infection among students of the North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, placed in the observatory. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the observatory of the North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov. All persons transferred to the observatory in the period from 21.04.2020 to 31.08.2020, epidemiological and clinical-anamnestic data were recorded. In a prospective study, all participants were asked to complete a Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D) over the phone 3 months after their stay at the observatory. Results. 113 people participated in the study: 45.1% of men (n = 51) and 54.9% of women (n = 62). The average age of the respondents was 22.4 2.5 years. When conducting a multivariate analysis, it was found that gender, age, belonging to an ethno-linguistic group, and chronic diseases are not reliable factors associated with the development of COVID-19 participants. According to the results of a prospective study, a statistically significant difference between the responses of respondents who had and did not have COVID-19 was obtained with a positive answer to the question about the presence of pain and discomfort (p 0.05).

This study is primarily concerned with the syntactic organisation of Kalmyk clauses headed by verbs that contain a morphological causative marker. The data reported here have been compiled during the summers between 2006 and 2008 in the Republic of Kalmykia. The fieldwork was organised by St. Petersburg State University and the Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences. This fieldwork has been conducted in several villages in the North-Western part of the Republic of Kalmykia. This region is supposed to be the area where the Dörböt dialect of the Kalmyk language is spoken; however, there is no clear indication that the data discussed below are different from the facts found in standard Kalmyk in any relevant respect. The main objective of the study reported here is two-fold. First, there is a descriptive goal. Available descriptions of Kalmyk causatives are mostly concerned with morphological issues and case assignment in canonical causative constructions, whereas a deeper analysis of syntactic properties of causative constructions, especially of their non-canonical uses, is generally lacking. The present study is intended to partially fill this gap. Second, there is a more theoretical goal. It will be shown that there are essential properties of Kalmyk causatives that can be hardly captured by the usual derivational approaches to causatives. Rather, causative verbs in Kalmyk will be viewed as a device for establishing a more or less direct correspondence between an event’s participants and syntactic slots. Although the scope of this paper is limited to one individual language, its findings can have broader typological relevance. In particular, I believe that taking the speaker’s perspective into account can deepen our understanding of causative constructions in other languages as well.

Введение. Наблюдения за больными COVID-19 показали развитие коагулопатии на фоне тяжелой инфекции, вызванной SARC–CoV-2. Патогенетические механизмы влияния SARC–CoV-2 на систему гемостаза в настоящее время активно исследуются, однако для практического здравоохранения крайне актуальным является поиск маркеров активации системы свертывания крови с целью ранней профилактики тромбоэмболических осложнений у пациентов с COVID-19. Цель исследования: определить количество микрочастиц, отделяющихся от клеток крови, у больных COVID-19 и здоровых индивидуумов и проанализировать корреляцию числа микрочастиц с лабораторными и клиническими характеристиками пациентов. Материалы и методы. Обследованы 10 пациентов с COVID-19, госпитализированных в ФГБОУ ВО СЗГМУ им. И. И. Мечникова Минздрава России в период июнь-июль 2020 г., контрольную группу составили 12 сотрудников ФГБОУ ВО СЗГМУ им. И.И. Мечникова Минздрава России без признаков острого респираторного заболевания, без сердечно-сосудистых и тромбоэмболических эпизодов в анамнезе. У всех обследованных выполнен клинический анализ крови, исследованы маркеры активации и воспаления, а также измерено количество внеклеточных микровезикул — экзосом на проточном цитометре. Результаты. У пациентов с COVID-19 по сравнению с контрольной группой наблюдалось увеличение относительного количества нейтрофилов и снижение тромбоцитов. Такие маркеры как фибриноген, С-реактивный белок, ферритин, интерлейкин-6 и лактатдегидрогеназа значительно превышали верхнюю границу референтных значений. При этом количество экзосом оказалось значимо выше у пациентов с COVID-19 по сравнению со здоровыми лицами (% позитивных событий) — 93,2 [88,7–96,5] против 56,2 [50,5–73,5] соответственно (p = 0,00001) и коррелировало с относительным уровнем нейтрофилов. Среди проанализированных экзосом преобладали микрочастицы тромбоцитарного и лейкоцитарного происхождения. Заключение. Увеличение количества внеклеточных микрочастиц у больных COVID-19 может быть использовано как маркер активации гемостаза и повышенного риска тромботических осложнений на фоне инфекционного заболевания. Background. The monitoring of COVID-19 patients showed the development of coagulopathy in the context of severe infection caused by SARC–CoV-2. The pathogenetic mechanisms of SARC–CoV-2 influence on hemostasis are currently being actively examined, but the search for markers of the blood-clotting system activation for early prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with COVID-19 is highly relevant for the practical health care. Objectives: to analyze the number of microparticles that separate from blood cells due to the hemostasis activation in COVID-19 patients and in healthy donors and to analyze the correlation between microparticles number and laboratory and clinical characteristics of patients. Patients /Methods. The study included 10 patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Mechnikov North- Western State Medical University in June- July 2020; the control group consisted of 12 employees of Mechnikov North- Western State Medical University without signs of acute respiratory disease, without cardiovascular and thromboembolic episodes in the history. All patients and individuals in the control group had their blood clinically tested on a 5-Diff hematological analyzer, markers for activation and inflammation were examined, and the number of extracellular microvesicles (exosomes) was measured on the flow cytometer. Results. Patients with COVID-19 had an increase in the relative amount of neutrophiles and a decrease in platelets compared to controls. Markers such as fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, ferritin, interleukine-6 and lactate dehydrogenase significantly exceeded the upper reference limit. The number of exosomes was significantly higher in patients with COVID-19 compared to healthy controls (% of positive events) — 93.2 [88.7–96.5] vs. 56.2 [50.5–73.5] respectively (p = 0.00001), and correlated with the relative level of neutrophiles. Among the exosomes analyzed, platelet and leukocyte microparticles prevailed. Conclusions. The increase of extracellular microparticles in COVID-19 patients can be used as a marker of hemostasis activation and increased risk of thrombotic complications in the context of severe infectious disease.

Excessive Activation

Hemophagocytic syndrome is a consequence of excessive activation of the immune system that develops as a rule in response to infection, neoplasm or as a result of an autoimmune disease leading to uncontrolled hyperinflammatory syndrome, internal injuries, cytopenia and death. The diagnosis of the syndrome is complex and is based on the criteria accepted by the society for the study of hemophagocytosis syndrome in 2004. Therapy involves the use of a combination of cytostatics and glucocorticoids and is carried out for a long time. The article describes the clinical case of hemophagocytic syndrome in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. (For citation: Belogurov AR, Mazurov VI, Tcigan EN, et al.
