In most cases, this problem is associated with musculoskeletal system pathology: Rickets in children, and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults. However, in recent years, convincing data was obtained on the links between Vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular pathology. Low Vitamin D levels in humans are associated with the unfavorable cardiovascular risk factors, such as arterial hypertension (AH), diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, which are the predictors of the severe cardiovascular diseases, including strokes and infarctions. It has been demonstrated that Vitamin D has a strong vasoptotective effect via endothelial dysfunction improvement, prevents blood vessels and myocardium remodeling, improves blood pressure parameters, reduces the risk of development of left ventricular hypertrophy, slows down fibrosis, reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, reduces insulin resistance, and also affects inflammation and immunity. This article provides data of Russian and foreign studies demonstrating the effect of Vitamin D deficiency on the development of atherosclerosis, AH, heart rhythm disorder and progression of chronic heart failure.

© 2018 Russian Transplant Society. All rights reserved. Chronic HCV infection is the leading cause of liver transplantation in adults in developed countries. Unfortunately, the reinfection of the graft inevitably occurs in all patients with persistent replication of the virus. Against the background of the necessary immunosuppressive therapy, the progression of the disease accelerates, leading to rapid decompensation of the liver. Antiviral therapy significantly improves the results of transplantation, but the use of standard interferon-based regimens is associated with low efficacy (no more than 30% for the most common 1 genotype of the virus) and poor tolerance. The article describes new interferon-free oral regimens used to treat the recurrence of HCV infection of 1 genotype.

AIM: To assess an efficacy of carotid arteries reconstruction in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis combined with tortuosity.MATERIAL AND METHODS: 86 patients with ICA tortuosity and stenosis were enrolled. All patients were divided into groups depending on type of surgery: group I - open carotid endarterectomy (CEA) followed by obligatory repair with synthetic patch (31 (36%) patients); group II - eversion CEA with ICA resection, redressation and reimplantation into own ostium (35 (40.7%) patients); group III - ICA replacement (20 (23.3%) patients). Synthetic prosthesis and autovein were used in 13 (65%) and 7 (35%) patients respectively. The study included patients with ICA stenosis ≥60% (any type of plaque) and any degree of cerebrovascular insufficiency or ICA stenosis <60% (plaque type I-III) with CVI grade II-IV combined with S- or C-tortuosity, bend or loop with blood flow velocity over 110 cm/s and its turbulence. Only 6 (7.0%) out of 86 patients had no clinical signs of CVI/previous stroke. Asymptomatic/symptomatic patients ratio was following in all groups: group I - 12 (38.7%)/19 (61.3%); group II - 29 (82.9%)/6 (17.1%); group III - 10 (50%)/10 (50%).RESULTS: Within 6-month follow-up 22 (70.9%) out of 31 patients were asymptomatic in group I, 30 (85.7%) (p=0.9475) out of 35 - in group II, 9 (45%) (p=0.9511) out of 20 patients - in group III and 1 (5%) patient developed thrombosis of the reconstruction zone followed by ischemic stroke. After 12 months following patients were asymptomatic: 22 (70.9%) in group I, 30 (85.7%) (p=0.9475) in group II and 9 (45%) patients (p=0.9511) in group III. After 1 year 4 (33.3%) out of 12 patients with CVI grade IV had partial regression of focal neurological symptoms.CONCLUSION: Surgery for ICA tortuosity combined with stenosis confirmed its efficacy and safety for both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. Significantly better results were observed in eversion CEA compared with conventional procedure and ICA replacement.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. In the review, the mechanisms of podocytes damage underlying the development of proteinuria and progression of glomerulosclerosis in chronic glomerulonephritis are discussed in detail. The results of experimental and clinical studies are presented. Under the different immune and non-immune factors the podocytes form a stereotyped response to damage consisting in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, foot process effacement, the detachment of podocytes from the glomerular basement membrane, and the appearance of specific podocyte proteins and whole cells (podocyturia) in the urine. Massive podocyturia in a limited proliferative capacity of podocytes leads to reduce their total count in the glomerulus (podocytopenia) and the development of glomerulosclerosis. The authors describe the line of markers of the podocyte injury and invasive and non-invasive methods of their assessment. In addition, the relationship of podocyturia level with proteinuria and renal dysfunction are discussed, the prospects of assessment the podocyte proteins in urine for assessing of glomerular damage severity and glomerulosclerosis risk are examined.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Obesity, including morbid obesity, is a growing worldwide problem. The adverse effect of obesity on the kidneys is associated with the development of comorbid conditions, such as insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes mellitus (DM), arterial hypertension (AH), which are the recognized risk factors of chronic kidney disease (ÑKD). Obesity also causes direct kidney damage with the development of non-immune focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The leading pathophysiological mechanisms of kidney damage in obesity are intrarenal hemodynamic disorders with the formation of hyperfiltration and damaging effects of adipokines produced by adipose tissue. Bariatric surgery (BS) has taken a leading position in the treatment of morbid obesity, demonstrating its effectiveness not only in long-term weight loss, but also in the correction of IR, MS, DM, AH. Nephroprotective effect of significant and persistent weight loss is caused by the elimination of hyperfiltration and damaging effect of adipokines. Results of the observational studies of the immediate and long-term effects of BS have demonstrated positive renal outcomes, in particular, the decrease in albuminuria/proteinuria, the improvement or stabilization of glomerular filtration rate, the delay of end-stage renal failure development; surgical correction of body weight in dialysis patients with morbid obesity lets them realize subsequent kidney transplantation. Large, randomized prospective studies with a longer follow- up are needed; analysis of the long-term renal consequences of BS in obesity patients with pre-existing renal impairment, including dialysis patients, is required; stratification of the BS risk of renal complications (acute kidney damage, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis) and effective strategy for managing these risks need to be developed.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. A review deals with the problem of chronic kidney disease (CKD) from the position of a physician and cardiologist. The epidemiology of the disease was discussed both abroad and in Russia, including the most up-to-date data. In Russia CKD markers were detected in 49.4% of hypertensives. Authors describe risk factors and mechanisms of CKD at the most important pathogenetic conditions: hypertension, diabetes and obesity. The current classification and methods for calculating the glomerular filtration rate are given. The review disclose a paradigm of the renal continuum and its relation to cardiovascular diseases. It is well known fact that the final causes of the death of patients with CKD, as a rule, are cardiovascular complications. Based on the literature data, the necessity and expediency of screening for renal dysfunction is justified. In the example of use of an angiotensin receptor blocker II - irbesartan nephroprotective demonstrated possibilities of intervention in patients with renal dysfunction of varying severity.

© 2018, SPb RAACI. The aim of the study was to determine efficiency of Glutoxim, aimed for correction of immune disorders. The drug was administered to the patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI, Stage I and II) complicated by arterial hypertension. Increased contents of pro-And anti-inflammatory cytokines, IFNγ, IL- 2, G-CSF, and activation of the complement system have been revealed for these conditions, at both functional stages of the disease. The patients with stage II CCI showed elevated markers of oxygen-dependent activity in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (increased levels of spontaneous and stimulated nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction tests, phagocytic capacity and stimulation index of neutrophils). Stage I of chronic cerebral ischemia was characterized by normal values of NBT reduction tests and functional reserve of neutrophils, along with decreased stimulation index of neutrophils. Among 26 parameters of immune status, 73.1% and 80.8% of indices proved to be changed, respectively, in the patients with stage I and II CCI. 66.7% of immune indices appeared similar in magnitude and direction of changes, whereas the resting 33% are identical in orientation. Usage of Cereton and Actovegin in treatment of the stage I CCI caused normalization of 5.3% immune parameters, with partial normalization of 26.3% tests, and 68.4% of the indexes remaining unchanged or increased posttreatment. Inclusion of Glutoxim into the combined pharmacotherapy proved to be more effective since it totally normalized 52.6% of the indexes, along with partial normalization of 21.1%, while 26.3% of the indicators were not affected by the therapy. Administration of Cereton and Actovegin at the second stage of chronic brain ischemia was followed by partial normalization for 47,6% of the tests, while leaving unchanged or increased 52.4% of the indicators. Glutoxim Use fully normalize 19.0% and partially normalizes 57.1% of immune parameters.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the possibilities for the use of the changes in the AgNOR staining patterns in the neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) for the purposes of the medical differential diagnostics of the cases of death from chronic alcohol intoxication. We elucidated the characteristics of the activity of protein biosynthesis including the number and the area of the nucleoli in the nuclei of the neurons of the individuals who had died from chronic alcohol intoxication (n=20) in comparison with the subjects of the control group (n=13). To reveal the morphological structures associated with protein biosynthesis in the nucleoli of the serotoninergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus in the brain, the histological preparations were stained with the use of the silver-staining technique for nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR). The comparative statistical analysis of the results thus obtained with the calculated confidence coefficients was carried out. The aggregated analysis of all the dorsal raphe subnuclei revealed the impairment of the AgNOR staining characteristics in the neurons of the subjects who had died from chronic alcohol intoxication in comparison with those of the subjects comprising the control group. It is concluded that the results of the study can be used for differential diagnostics of deaths from chronic alcohol intoxication and other causes.

© 2018 ABV-Press Publishing House. All rights reserved. Background. Patients with the chronic migraine frequently present with memory and attention complaints. However, the prevalence and phenotype of such impairment in chronic migraine have not been studied. Objective-to evaluate the prevalence of the objective cognitive deficit in patients with chronic migraine and factors underlying its etiology. Materials and methods. We recruited 62 subjects with chronic migraine and 36 gender-and age-matched controls with low-frequency episodic migraine (not more, then 4 headache days per month) aged 18-59. All patients filled in the Hospital Anxiety and Depres sion Scale (HADS) and Sheehan Disability Scale. Cognitive function was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Digital Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), and the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-20). Results. In this study 58 % of patients with chronic migraine complained of memory loss. Cognitive impairment was also found with PDQ-20. Objectively, we found a significant decrease in 90-second DSST results and RAVLT total recall and learning rate. In 40 % of subjects with chronic migraine scored lower than 26 points on MoCA. Patients with chronic migraine more frequently had lower DSST rates as compared to episodic migraine (odds ratio 5.07 (95 % confidence interval-1.59-16.17); p = 0.003). Depression and anxiety did not correlate with performance on cognitive tests. Chronic migraine (frequent headache) and longer headache history, but not depression, anxiety or medication overuse were independent predictors of cognitive impairment. Conclusion. Subjective and objective cognitive deficits are prevalent in the chronic migraine population. Most often memory and attention are impaired. Longer headache history and presence of chronic migraine are independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with chronic migraine.

© 2018 Russian Transplant Society. All Rights Reserved. HCV infection is one of the most common causes leading to the development of terminal liver diseases – cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, the main treatment for which is orthotopic liver transplantation. However, with continued virus replication, 100% reinfection occurs, which leads to the rapid progression of cirrhosis of the graft and the loss of its function. Standard interferon-containing therapy is ineffective for HCV infection, especially genotype 1, both before and after transplantation, and also has a wide range of adverse events. The article presents the successful experience of treating the recurrence of HCV infection 1 genotype in a patient who underwent liver transplantation and several courses of ineffective antiviral therapy.

© 2018 Russian Transplant Society. All Rights Reserved. Aim. To study the efficacy and safety of the use of paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir in combination or without ribavirin in liver recipients with recurrence of HCV 1 genotype after transplantation. Materials and methods. The study included 46 patients after orthotopic liver transplantation with recurrence of HCV 1 genotype. 37 patients completed a 24-week course of antiviral therapy, including paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir in combination or without ribavirin. The effectiveness of the therapy was calculated as the proportion of patients who achieved aviremia 12 weeks after the end of the course of treatment. The safety of therapy was assessed by the number of adverse events that occurred during the course of antiviral therapy. Results. A sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after the end of the course of antiviral therapy, including paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir, reached 100% of the recipients of the liver. Reduction in the intensity of cytolytic and cholestatic syndromes was noted at week 4 of therapy. Adverse events were recorded in 56.7% of the subjects, mostly they were not severe and were stopped on their own. Acute cellular rejection of the transplant developed in 1 patient (2.7%). There have been no cases of irreversible liver transplant dysfunction or death of the recipient. The conclusion. The use of paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir is safe and effective in the treatment of relapse of HCV infection of 1 genotype after liver transplantation.

© 2018 S. Karger AG.All right reserved. Objective: to estimate the state and the rate of bone metabolism in women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1-3 stages during pregnancy. Materialsandmethods:observational cross-sectional and prospective study included 137 pregnant women. CKD 1-3 stage had 85 of them: 64 with CKD 1-2 stage, 21 with CKD 3 stage. Median age 29 years, second and third trimester (42 and 37, respectively). The comparison group consisted of 52 pregnant women with of the same age and gestational age without CKD. Dynamic examination was carried out in 18 cases with CKD 1-3 stage. Ionized, total calcium and inorganic phosphorus, 25-OH vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), the activity of total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), N-terminal propeptid of type 1 procollagen (P1NP) and β-isomer of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) were determined. Results: serum calcium, phosphorus and PTH levels in all the examined pregnant women were within their normal range. In pregnant with CKD 3 stage, a deficiency of vitamin D was more significant (р0.02) compared to pregnant women without CKD and pregnant with CKD 1-2 stage. The levels OC and P1NP and β-CTX in pregnant with CKD 3 stage were higher than in the control group and pregnant women with CKD 1-2 stage. It was also higher in pregnant women with CKD 1-3 stages in the third trimester in comparison with the second one, although remained within the limits of reference values. Significant direct correlations were found between serum concentrations of P1NP and OC (r=0.575, р0.001), P1NP and ALP (r=0.415, р=0.001), OC and ALP (r=0.276, р=0, 02) and vitamin D and PTH (r=0.235, р=0.04). A significant inverse correlation was found between the blood levels of vitamin D and P1NP (r=-0.344, р=0.002). Conclusions: the peculiarities of bone metabolism in pregnant with CKD of 3 stage are manifested by the vitamin D deficiency and the acceleration of bone formation and resorption to a greater extent in the third trimester.

Aim: to assess the prevalence of bendopnea and association of this symptom with clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic features, clinical outcomes during 2 years of followup in ambulatory elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Materials and methods. We conducted an open, prospective, nonrandomized study of 80 ambulatory patients aged ≥60 years admitted with heart failure II-IV NYHA class CHF. Baseline survey included physical examination, estimation of Charlson comorbidity index, echocardiography and laboratory tests. Bendopnea was considered when shortness of breath occurred within 30 sec of sitting on a chair and bending forward. Mean followup was 26.6±11.0 months. Results. Bendopnea was present in 38.8% patients. All these patients complained of shortness of breath during physical exertion and 45.2% of them had orthopnea. Bendopnea was associated with the male gender (odds ratio [OR] 11.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.04-34.8, p<0.001), severity of the clinical status (ШОКС [shocks] scale score) (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.29-2.38, p<0.001), Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.07-1.52, p=0.007), coronary heart disease (OR 26.6, 95% CI 3.34-21.3, p=0.002), history of myocardial infarction (OR 13.9, 95% CI 4.2-46.6, p<0.001), left ventricular (LV) aneurysm (OR 13.3, 95% CI 2.69-65.9, p=0.002), increased indexed LV endsystolic diameter (OR 8.2, 95% CI 1.9-34.1, p=0.004), left atrial size (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1,4-12.5, p=0.008), indexed LV endsystolic volume (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.07-1.64, p=0.010), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (OR 1.26, 95% 1.03-1.45, p=0.002), high levels of NTproBNP (OR 1.0, 95% CI 1.0-1.002, p=0.055), creatinine (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07, p=0.001), uric acid (OR 1.006, 95% CI 1.002-1.011, p=0.004); hospitalizations (OR 7.61, 95% 2.04-28.4, p=0.003), and patient's mortality (OR 5.63, 95% CI 1.94-16.4, p=0.001). Multifactorial analysis confirmed association of bendopnea with severity of clinical status (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.04-2.8, p=0.033), increased left atrial size (OR 5.67, 95% CI 2.75-21.32, p=0.029) and Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.04-2.80, p=0.050). During followup 51.6 and 12.2% of patients died among those with and without bendopnea, respectively (OR 4.22, 95% CI 1.85-9.9, p<0.001). Conclusion. Bendopnea is associated with an adverse hemodynamic profile and prognosis, what allows to consider this symptom as a reliable marker of CHF severity.

© 2018 ABV-Press Publishing House. All rights reserved. Background. Memory and attention deficits are prevalent in the chronic pain population. There are multiple common mechanisms in chronic pain and cognitive impairment. However, the presence, prevalence and clinical burden of such impairment are frequently underestimated. Objective: to evaluate subjective and objective cognitive deficits in patients with chronic migraine (CM). Materials and methods. We recruited 53 subjects with CM and 22 gender- and age-matched controls with low-frequency episodic migraine (a maximum of 4 headache days per month) aged 18-59. All patients filled in the HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) anxiety and depression scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI). Cognitive function was assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Digital Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) and the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-20). Results. 56 % of patients with CM complained of memory problems. Decreased cognitive function was also observed during self-assessment using the PDQ-20 questionnaire. Objectively, we found a significant decrease in 90-second DSST results and RAVLT total recall and learn ing rates. 44 % of subjects with CM scored lower than 26 points on MoCA. Most frequently we found impairments in attention (75 %), memory/delayed recall (50 %), language (50 %) and executive function (37 %). Depression and sleep quality correlated with only several parameters of cognitive tests. Conclusion. Subjective and objective cognitive deficits are prevalent in the CM population. Most often memory and attention are impaired. Cognitive complaints need to be carefully assessed, and treatment of such impairment may improve quality of life and decrease disability in CM.
