The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship of psychological and social characteristics of patients with hypertension often seek emergency medical help with their adherence to treatment.Material and methods. Outpatient were examined 300 patients with hypertension (100 men and 200 women) from 35 years and older (mean age 72,1±12,8 years). Duration of hypertension ranged from 4 to 36 years old. We excluded patients with symptomatic arterial hypertension. Using questionnaires, revealed frequency of calls ambulance, the extent to which medical recommendations and regularity of antihypertensive drugs by patients. Also completed questionnaires Spielberg- Hanin for the assessment of emotional status.Results. The study showed that more frequent calls in general are more common in women than men, single patients, compared to unmarried as well as retirees compared to active patients. The proportion of women callers ambulance at least 1 time per year was 29% and was significantly (p

Article focuses on the use of 99mTc-HMPAO brain SPECT for evaluation of cerebral blood flow in patients with arterial hypertension and identification of the relationship of brain perfusion and cognitive function. Using SPECT of brain with 99mTc-HMPAO it was found out that hypertensive patients even in the absence of focal neurological symptoms have hypoperfusion of the brain which leads to cognitive dysfunction: decreased attention, psychomotor speed and slow thought processes.

Aim. To study the relationship of modifiable risk factors (RF) with indicators of arterial stiffness and vascular age based on the contour analysis of the pulse wave velocity in hypertensive patients.Material and methods. The material of the study was the data from a survey of patients undergoing clinical observation at the polyclinic of MMC SOGAZ. A total of 107 patients were examined, in which 70 were men and 37 were women. The average age was 52.3±18.29. Photoplethysmography was used as a special research method, performed using the AngioScan-01 diagnostic complex. The main indicators used to evaluate the stiffness of large vessels were: stiffness index (SI), reflection index (RI), augmentation index (Alp75), age index (AGI), pulse wave types (PV) and vascular age (VA).Results. The mean values of arterial stiffness indices in patients with essential arterial hypertension (AH) and healthy individuals (control) had significant differences. The mean SI, Alp75, and VA values in the group of patients with AH were 7.8±1.03, 7.0±14.44 and 50.8±15.93 versus 7.2±1.73, 0.5±18.02 and 43.8±16.94, respectively (p< 0.05). In both groups, a strong inverse correlation of passport age with C-type PV was revealed (r=0.74, p< 0.01), which reflected the dynamics of a gradual age-dependent decrease in vascular compliance. The average VA value in the control group was 63.1±16.99 years with an average passport age of 59.5±8.79 years, which significantly differed from VA in hypertensive patients (p< 0,05). Overweight, hypercholesterolemia, elevated low-density lipoprotein levels, lack of adequate antihypertensive control, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction were significantly associated with early vascular (arterial) aging.Conclusion. Patients with hypertension, in addition to high blood pressure, significantly differ from normotensive control in terms of arterial stiffness. The lack of control over modifiable RF of patients with hypertension is associated with early vascular aging.

The review presents data on the relationship of intestinal microbiota and the development of arterial hypertension. Mechanisms through which intestinal dysbiosis may contribute to the development of this disease are reviewed. Results of studies on modulation of intestinal microbiota in patients with arterial hypertension with the use of probiotics and antibiotics are presented. It is concluded that the development of innovative dietary strategies ensuring restoration of the balance in the intestinal microbiota will allow to effectively control and treat arterial hypertension.

The study of the relationship between bilingualism and cognitive development has struggled with the dual definitional problems of the key component concepts. Bilingualism has been defined at various levels of functional definition. These include linguistic, cognitive, and social-psychological characteristics of individuals, as well as societal characteristics such as ethnicity and other sociodemographic variables. Failure to distinguish between these various definitions of bilingualism has led to confusion in deciphering the relationship of this elusive concept with cognitive development.

e17069 Background: In the last decade, the relationship between arterial hypertension and the risk of developing kidney cancer has been pointed out. Some studies have shown that the metabolic imbalance of the components of the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is associated with the development and progression of kidney cancer. Aim: To study the state of RAS in tumor and peritumoral tissues in hypertensive patients with kidney cancer. Methods: In patients with localized kidney cancer T1N0M0 and grade I-II arterial hypertension without special treatment (n = 40; KC + AH) in the samples of tumor (TT), peritumoral (PTT) and histologically unchanged tissue (HUT), the levels of angiotensin 1 and 2, 1-7 (AT1 and AT2, AT (1-7)) of angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACE and ACE2) were determined by ELISA. The comparison group consisted of patients with RC without impaired blood pressure (n = 55, KC). Results: In patients with KC, the level of AT1 is 1.5 times higher (p < 0.05), and AT2 is 1.6 times higher (p < 0.05) in TT against the background of unchanged content in PTT compared with HUT. The level of ACE is higher than HUT by 2.7 times, ACE2 - by 1.6 times (in all cases p < 0.05), and in PTT it is identical in HUT. In patients with KC + AH, the level of AT1 and AT2 in the TT is 1.8 times higher (p < 0.05) and 2.1 times (p < 0.01), respectively, the content of AT(1-7) is 1.6 times (p < 0.01). In PTT, AT1 is 1.6 times higher (p < 0.01) and AT2 is 1.9 times higher (p < 0.05), significantly lower than only AT2 in the TT (1.2 times at p < 0, 05). The level of AT(1-7) in the PTT is identical to the values in the GNT. The content of ACE and ACE2 in TT is 3.6 and 2.9 times higher, respectively, and in PTT is identical to that in TT. Correlation analysis revealed a reliable direct relationship in the studied groups for all parameters, while in the PTT of hypertensive patients, the relationship between the average blood pressure and the RAS peptide content had a higher tightness. Conclusions: An increase in the levels of angiotensin 1 and 2, angiotensin-converting enzymes ACE and ACE2 in the tumor tissues and peritumoral tissue in patients with localized kidney cancer, regardless of the presence of arterial hypertension at initially higher values in hypertensive patients, was shown. The presence of arterial hypertension in patients with KC changes the metabolism of local RAS in peritumoral tissue and is associated with an increase in the correlation between changes in the components of RAS and arterial hypertension.
