Background. L-arginine takes part in the ornithine cycle, in which ammonia is neutralized with urea formation. Accordingly, in the absence of L-arginine, toxic ammonia accumulates in the organism. Objective. To describe the use of L-arginine as a medication. Materials and methods. Analysis of literature sources on this topic. Results and discussion. Nitric oxide (NO) is a universal mediator in the regulation of cellular functions and intercellular communication. Deficiency of this substance is a key element of endothelial dysfunction. In the human body, NO is produced from L-arginine and performs an extremely important function of vasodilation due to the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Other physiological functions of NO include the transmission of neural signals in the central and peripheral nervous system, nervous activity, histamine secretion by mast cells, intestinal peristalsis, erection, killer action against bacteria and cancer cells. Arginine deficiency occurs in hypertension, coronary heart disease, obliterating disease of peripherl arteries, primary pulmonary hypertension, obstetric and perinatal pathological conditions. Potential ways to eliminate NO deficiency include the administration of its precursor – L-arginine (Tivortin, “Yuria-Pharm”) or its donors (molsidomine, nitrates). Tivortin has antioxidant and detoxifying effects, reduces endothelial dysfunction, activates urea synthesis, promotes glucose utilization, increases blood insulin. Conclusions. 1. NO deficiency is a key element of endothelial dysfunction. 2. Physiological functions of NO are vasodilation, transmission of neural signals, intestinal motility, etc. 3. In the human body NO is formed from L-arginine. 4. Arginine deficiency occurs in hypertension, coronary heart disease, obliterating disease of the peripheral arteries, primary pulmonary hypertension, obstetric and perinatal pathological conditions. 5. L-arginine (Tivortin) prescription is one of the ways to eliminate NO deficiency. 6. Tivortin has antioxidant and detoxifying effects, reduces endothelial dysfunction, and promotes glucose utilization.

Abstract. In recent years, the attention of scientists to the study of the unique properties of saliva and related diagnostic capabilities has increased significantly. Many data on the function and composition of oral fluid in healthy people and in various somatic pathologies. The ducts of three pairs of large (parotid, mandibular, sublingual) and up to a thousand small salivary glands open into the oral cavity of an adult. The amount of saliva secreted per day depends on the nature of food, age and sex. But on average, an adult secretes 750-1500 ml of saliva per day. Upon entering the oral cavity, saliva mixes with leukocytes, microorganisms and their products, exfoliated epithelium of the oral mucosa, oral detritus, gingival fluid, food debris, toothpaste, bronchial and nasal secretions. The purpose of the study: to investigate changes in the quantitative and qualitative properties of oral fluid in the replacement of dentition defects in patients with coronary heart disease. Object and methods of research. Sources of domestic and foreign literature. Research results. Oral fluid is an integral liquid medium of the human body and the first biological fluid that connects the internal environment of the body with the external. The activity of more than 100 enzymes, which differ in the origin and performance of the function, is determined in human oral fluid [6]. Changes in the activity of oral enzymes due to direct exposure to metal ions, plastics and related pathology can lead to a weakening of protective, mineralizing, digestive and other properties, which harms not only the dental system but also the human body as a whole. It is established that due to changes in permeability in the conditions of stress pathology the dynamic balance of the main internal environment - blood is preserved. It is proved that changes in the biochemical composition of blood and saliva correlate with the severity and features of myocardial infarction. Therefore, due to recent research in biochemistry and dentistry, laboratory methods continue to be improved and introduced into clinical practice, which allow to diagnose somatic and dental diseases by studying the parameters of oral fluid, which significantly expands diagnostic capabilities and allows more effective control of patients with combined pathology. Thus, in recent years it has been proven that an important role in the development of coronary heart disease and vascular pathology belongs to homocysteine, which is an intermediate product of metabolic conversions of methionine to cysteine. In case of insufficient utilization, homocysteine ​​leaves the cells in the liquid environment of the body, performing thrombogenic and pro-inflammatory effects. One of the main indicators of the immunological state of oral fluid is cationic antimicrobial peptides, which are important components of the immune system of a wide range of organisms. They play a key role in providing the first line of defense for the microorganism against infection. NHP1-NHP3 contain only 30 amino acid residues. Defensins show their microbial properties in micromolar conferences. Each representative of NHP has its own characteristic antimicrobial specificity of these peptides to each other. Defensins have the ability to suppress viral infection. They are effective against DNA and RNA viruses. Defensins inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus, have high activity against the herpes virus. Also, these peptides inhibit vesicular stomatitis virus, human cytomegalovirus, influenza virus, adenovirus, papillomavirus and others. Conclusion. With secondary adentia (regardless of size and location), the volume of oral fluid decreases and its microelement composition changes. In addition, the replacement of dentition defects with different types of dentures causes metabolic disorders associated with the activation of free radical oxidation of biomolecules.

Abstract Background Although advances in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, coronary heart disease (CHD) is still the most prevalent cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Thus, there is still the need to identify both novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers to improve the clinical decision-making and help to stratify patients for early preventive treatment. Epigenetic-sensitive mechanisms may be related both to pathogenesis and prognosis of CHD. Among the epigenetic hallmarks, microRNAs (miRNAs), acting as flexible modulators of gene expression, could represent attractive candidate biomarkers useful in clinical practice. Purpose We prospectively investigated the expression pattern of circulating miRNAs in patients undergoing Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) for suspected CHD (n=95) with the aim to integrate molecular findings with morphological and clinical parameters derived by CCT. Methods CCT was performed with a third-generation dual source multidetector computed tomography scanner. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected into EDTA after a 12 h fasting in the same day of CCT, before imaging execution and the levels of 42 selected plasmatic miRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Results Let-7c-5p, miR-765, miR-483-5p, miR-31-5p and miR-206 were upregulated in CHD patients (n=66) vs healthy subjects HS (n=29) as well as let-7c-5p, miR-765, miR- 483-5p showed higher expression in obstructive CHD (n=36) compared to no obstructive CHD patients (n=66). In addition, miR-93-5p and miR-433-3p showed an upregulation in patients with critical coronary stenosis. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that miR-765, miR-31-5p and miR-206 were independently associated with CHD also in combination with Framingham risk score. Relevantly, miR-765, miR-93-5p and miR-433-3p were obstructive CHD predictors. ROC curve analysis also revealed a good performance for miR-765, miR-93-5p and miR-433-3p on predicting CHD severity. Circulating microRNA expression Conclusions Our study represents a combined epigenetic/imaging approach useful to support the diagnosis and prediction of CHD.

PurposeIt is difficult for doctors to decide whether patients with suspected coronary heart disease classified as Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) < 3 should be administered preventive treatment, or whether non-atherosclerotic chest pain should be considered. The aim of the current study was to investigate coronary hemodynamic characteristics in such patients, which may provide more information on their stenosis and be helpful for initial diagnoses.MethodsTwo patient-specific models were reconstructed based on the coronary computed tomographic angiography underwent in 2012. Patient 1 was classified as CAD-RADS 0, and was readmitted to hospital due to coronary artery disease within 5 years. Patient 2 was classified as CAD-RADS 2, and has experienced no adverse events to date. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to obtain hemodynamic parameters including flow rate waveform, flow streamlines, time-average wall shear stress (TAWSS), and oscillatory shear index (OSI).ResultsPatient 1 exhibited no physiological characteristics of right coronary artery flow waveform, large areas of low TAWSS, and slow blood flow in the proximal and middle segments of the left anterior descending branch. Patient 2 exhibited reduced coronary supply, small and separate areas of abnormal TAWSS, and a higher left anterior descending branch OSI than patient 1.ConclusionHemodynamic abnormalities may play an important role in the prognosis of patients with coronary stenosis, and patient-specific hemodynamic characteristics may facilitate more accurate initial diagnosis, and better management. Overall hemodynamics (along the whole vessel) warranted attention at the time of the initial visit in patients classified as CAD-RADS < 3.
