Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common disease with the evident tendency to annual increase in incidence. The disease mostly affects young individuals of active working age. The peak of incidence of the disease is observed at the age of 20-29 and 50-55 years. The aim of study was optimization of diagnostics and management of patients with ulcerative colitis by correction of antibacterial therapy on the basis of the data of microbiological examination of the microflora of the wall of colon. Materials and Methods. 35 Patients with ulcerative colitis from 28 to 61 years of age with the average age 37.6 years who underwent outpatient and stationary treatment in colonoproctology and gastroenterology departments of SamSMU clinics in the period from January to May 2017 were examined. Of them, 18 were males (48.6%) and 17 females (51.4%). Results. Significant species diversity of microflora was identified that requires exact species identification and development of standard procedures for isolation of microorganisms from bioptates of patients with ulcerative colitis with the aim of administration of antibacterial treatment. In analysis of sensitivity of the isolated strains to antibiotics 45% of the isolated microorganisms were found to have signs of resistance to 1-2 groups of medical drugs, and 33% showed signs of resistance to 3 and more groups. Only 22% of strains were found to be sensitive to all tested preparations. Eradication of such flora presents certain difficulties, and in our opinion, requires administration of combined therapy after examination of bioptate. Conclusions. All patients with ulcerative colitis require examination of the microbial composition of the intestinal wall for optimization of diagnostics and treatment. 105-106 titer of microorganisms, their wide species diversity may support inflammation in the colon and prevent relief. It is necessary to continue study of microbiological composition of the colonic wall in the comparative aspect for optimization of diagnostics and management of patients with ulcerative colitis.

In recent decades, an increase in the incidence of ulcerative colitis has been observed throughout the world. The purpose of this review is to generalize the available information on the influence of environmental factors and intestinal microbiome on the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis, the role of bacteria metabolism products in the pathogenesis of the disease. Studied literature, we came to the conclusion that lifestyle in the era of post-industrial society has a significant impact on the microbial composition of the intestine and leads to changes in its diversity in patients suffering from ulcerative colitis. The changes include a decrease in the number of residential flora with anti-inflammatory activity, which synthesize short-chain fatty acids, and an increase in the number of potentially pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms. Within the phylums Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, the proportional ratio changes. The combination of aggression factors (deterioration of the intestinal microbiome composition, the presence of aggressive intestinal metabolites) leads to intestinal mucosa permeability disfunction, impairing its barrier function. Food and bacterial agents can penetrate deeper layers of the intestinal wall through mucosal defects, which then stimulate the development of inflammatory and immune responses.

Currently, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), in nonspecific ulcerative colitis (NUC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are an extremely urgent problem. The incidence of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease worldwide is increasing every year, and mainly among the working-age population, which makes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) a socially significant disease. The clinical picture of IBD is diverse, which often makes it difficult to timely diagnose and prescribe adequate therapy and inevitably negatively affects the prognosis of diseases. Here are some of the characteristics of the NUC and CD. The histogram results of numerous studies indicate the following: in Crohn's disease (CD), the thickness of the intestinal wall is often significantly increased. In the mucous membrane, slit-like ulcerative defects are detected, in the bottom of which there are signs of inflammation in the form of infiltration of the bottom of the ulcers by leukocytes, lymphocytes, histiocytes. As for colitis, based on these clinical cases, it can be concluded that children and adolescents are characterized by a total lesion of the colon and the appearance of segmental forms. In adult patients, distal colitis, the so-called proctosigmoiditis, prevails. On examination, the mucous membrane was edematous, vividly hyperemic, edematous, with superficial erosions.

AbstractPatients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have an altered gut microbiota composition, but the microbial relationship to disease activity needs to be further elucidated. Therefore, temporal dynamics of the fecal microbial community during remission and flare was determined. Fecal samples were collected at 2–6 time-points from UC patients during established disease (cohort EST) and at diagnosis (cohort NEW). Sampling range for cohort EST was 3–10 months and for cohort NEW 36 months. Relapses were monitored for an additional three years for cohort EST. Microbial composition was assessed by Genetic Analysis GA-map Dysbiosis Test, targeting ≥ 300 bacteria. Eighteen patients in cohort EST (8 with maintained remission and 10 experiencing a flare), provided 71 fecal samples. In cohort NEW, 13 patients provided 49 fecal samples. The microbial composition showed no clustering related to disease activity in any cohort. Microbial dissimilarity was higher between than within patients for both cohorts, irrespective of presence of a flare. Microbial stability within patients was constant over time with no major shift in overall composition nor modification in the abundance of any specific species. Microbial composition was not affected by intensified medical treatment or linked to future disease course. Thus in UC, the gut microbiota is highly stable irrespective of disease stage, disease activity or treatment escalation. This suggests that prolonged dietary interventions or repeated fecal transplantations are needed to be able to induce permanent alterations of the gut microbiota.

Abstract Nigella A, also named Sieboldianoside A, has been extracted from many kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as Nigella glandulifera, Stauntonia chinensis DC., and the leaves of Acanthopanax sieboldianus. Nigella A exhibited potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant activities. However, whether Nigella A could treat ulcerative colitis (UC) is still unknown. As saponins always be regarded as the kinds of ingredients that could regulate immunity and intestinal flora. This research aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of Nigella A on UC and explore its effect on intestinal flora. We noted that Nigella A and Sulfasalazine (SASP) could significantly improve the signs and symptoms, alleviate colonic pathological injury in DSS-induced mice. The changing of many specific bacterial genus such as Lactobacillus, Porphyromonadaceae, Bacteroides and Escherichia might closely related to the recovery of intestinal inflammatory response. This study initially confirmed the therapeutic effect of Nigella A and SASP on DSS-induced colitis by improving the diversity of intestinal microbial composition. Nigella A has the potential to be developed for the treatment of UC and other disorders related to the imbalance of intestinal flora.

Changes in the gut microbiota and the mitochondrial genome are both linked with the development of disease. To investigate why, we examined the gut microbiota of mice harboring various mutations in genes that alter mitochondrial function. These studies revealed that mitochondrial genetic variations altered the composition of the gut microbiota community. In cross-fostering studies, we found that although the initial microbiota community of newborn mice was that obtained from the nursing mother, the microbiota community progressed toward that characteristic of the microbiome of unfostered pups of the same genotype within 2 months. Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA variants associated with altered gut microbiota suggested that microbiome species diversity correlated with host reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. To determine whether the abundance of ROS could alter the gut microbiota, mice were aged, treated with N-acetylcysteine, or engineered to express the ROS scavenger catalase specifically within the mitochondria. All three conditions altered the microbiota from that initially established. Thus, these data suggest that the mitochondrial genotype modulates both ROS production and the species diversity of the gut microbiome, implying that the connection between the gut microbiome and common disease phenotypes might be due to underlying changes in mitochondrial function.

In the modern world, diabetes mellitus is a common disease with multiple consequences, the main complications are vascular lesions (macroangiopathy) and nerves, which are the cause of many complications, such as chronic renal failure and blindness and amputations in patients of working age, which leads to early disability and premature mortality. In the treatment of diabetes mellitus, most of the costs are for the treatment of complications, and the most cost-effective treatment is still treatment for ulcers of the feet. The article defines the essence and classification of diabetic foot syndrome, highlights the stages of diagnosis, as well as the main approaches to its treatment, describes the basics of prevention.

Hypertension is one of the most common disease of the cardiovascular system. Important components of a rational antihypertensive therapy are drugs that block the RAAS. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with drug combinations – aliskiren and amlodipine and combination of ramipril and amlodipine in patients with hypertension and increased body weight. 50 patients with hypertension of stage II, II degree, high and very high risk were involved in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups depending on the received treatment. The first group (25 patients) consisted of patients treated with combined therapy including ramipril and amlodipine, the second group (25 patients) consisted of patients receiving a combination of aliskiren and amlodipine. The control group (25 people) included apparently healthy people. By the 12th week of the study the daily average systolic blood pressure in the first group was 146 (145; 150) mm Hg and 131 (130; 137) mm Hg in the second group, respectively, the daily average diastolic blood pressure was equal to 94 (91; 96) mm Hg in the first group and 81 (80; 82) mm Hg in the second group . By the 12th week of treatment plasma renin levels in the first group was equal to 73 (50; 78) and 15 (14; 27) in the second group, respectively, the level of angiotensin-I in the first group was 6 (4; 7) and 1,4 (1,1; 1,9) in the second group, aldosterone levels in the first group was equal to 134 (132; 145) and 130 (123; 132) in the second group, respectively. It is found that combination of aliskiren and amlodipine have the advantage over the combination of ramipril and amlodipine in achieving of purposeful level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension and overweight. The purposeful level of blood pressure reached to 56,6% of patients in group I and 80% of patients in group II to 12th week of the study. Receiving both combinations equally reduces plasma aldosterone levels at the same time receiving a combination of aliskiren and amlodipine accompanied by a decrease in plasma rennin level of 69% and angiotensin-I of 67%, while the combination of ramipril and amlodipine increases of these hormones on 68% and 65% respectively. Thus, using combination of ramipril and amlodipine more effective in patients with low rennin hypertension , patients with normal and high rennin hypertension necessary combination of aliskiren and amlodipine.
