Nerve damage is a common severe trauma caused by a complete or partial disruption of the integrity of the nerve trunk and appropriate dissociation of the CNS and denervated tissue. «Golden standard» in the treatment of extensive injuries of peripheral nerves is the use of autografts of nerve fibers, but when they are used, pathological disturbances appear in the donor zone and the results of surgical treatment are not always satisfactory. Currently, an alternative to the traditional method is the use of nerve conduits (conductors) for directed regeneration of axons. In this work, the results of the application of nerve conductors from various materials and with various biologically active components in preclinical and clinical studies, as well as conduits used in clinical practice, were analyzed. The efficiency of regeneration was compared, on the basis of the analysis the conductor most suitable for successful nerve regeneration was selected, including approaches for creating innervated tissue engineered constructs. In this work, we have collected research on nerve conductors from various materials with various prescribed properties using certain factors used to treat damage to the peripheral nervous system, showing all the advantages and disadvantages of their use, which makes it possible to develop and create a conduit that meets all the requirements of modern regenerative medicine.

In a study of 537 patients with chronic generalized periodontitis and metabolic syndrome (MS) depending on age and gender, it was found that the increase of TNF-α and IL-6 in the content of periodontal pockets correlated with the severity of chronic generalized periodontitis and MS. For these cytokines, there was a clear gender relationship: women had higher levels in periodontal pocket content than men. For IL-1β and IL-4 cytokines, there is no coupling between the severity of the damage and the level of cytokines in the periodontal pocket. The developed model for calculating the risk of chronic generalized periodontitis depending on the level of TNF-α in the patient's periodontal pockets allows predicting and monitoring the dynamics of the disease.

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Cornea protects the eye against natural and anthropogenic ultraviolet (UV) damage and mechanical injury. Corneal incisions produced by UV lasers in ophthalmic surgeries are often complicated by oxidative stress and inflammation, which delay wound healing and result in vision deterioration. This study trialed a novel approach to prevention and treatment of iatrogenic corneal injuries using SkQ1, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant approved for therapy of polyethiological dry eye disease. Methods: Rabbit models of UV-induced and mechanical corneal damage were employed. The animals were premedicated or treated with conjunctival instillations of 7.5 μ M SkQ1. Corneal damage was assessed by fluorescein staining and histological analysis. Oxidative stress in cornea was monitored by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) using thiobarbituric acid assay. Total antioxidant activity (AOA) was determined using hemoglobin/H2O2/luminol assay. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were measured using colorimetric assays. Results: In both models corneas exhibited fluorescein-stained lesions, histologically manifesting as basal membrane denudation, apoptosis of keratocytes, and stromal edema, which were accompanied by oxidative stress as indicated by increase in lipid peroxidation and decline in AOA. The UV-induced lesions were more severe and long healing as corneal endothelium was involved and GPx and SOD were downregulated. The treatment inhibited loss of keratocytes and other cells, facilitated re-epithelialization and stromal remodeling, and reduced inflammatory infiltrations and edema thereby accelerating corneal healing approximately 2-fold. Meanwhile the premedication almost completely prevented development of UV-induced lesions. Both therapies reduced oxidative stress, but only premedication inhibited downregulation of the innate antioxidant activity of the cornea. Conclusions: SkQ1 efficiently prevents UV-induced corneal damage and enhances corneal wound healing after UV and mechanical impacts common to ocular surgery. Its therapeutic action can be attributed to suppression of mitochondrial oxidative stress, which in the first case embraces all corneal cells including epitheliocytes, while in the second case affects residual endothelial cells and stromal keratocytes actively working in wound healing. We suggest SkQ1 premedication to be used in ocular surgery for preventing iatrogenic complications in the cornea.

© 2018, Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective. To test the main hypothesis that the deficit phenomena in schizophrenia act not in the «pure» form, but in the form of aggravating personality characteristics, forming so-called «common» syndromes with personality disorders (PD). Material and methods. The results of the psychopathological study (with the use of psychometric methods) of deficit disorders in a sample of 170 patients with schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (63 men, 107 women) are presented in relation to the abnormal structure of premorbid personality (PD of clusters A, B, C). An analysis of negative symptoms according to the comparability of defect to the profile of premorbid personality made it possible to distinguish three groups of deficit states associated with PD - «common syndromes»: defensive schizoidy by the type of deficit schizoid and expansive schizoidy by the type of «verschroben» (cluster A); pathological hysterical infantilism, malignant hysteria and defective erotomania (cluster B); pseudo-psychasthenia and pathological rationalism (cluster C). Results. It has been found that the symptomatology of «common syndromes» is subject to patterns reflecting the dichotomy of the basic defect. This pattern is valid not only for one single cluster of PD, but extends to all psychopathy- like disorders, regardless of their affiliation with a particular cluster. The pathocharacterological component of the «common syndromes» coexisting with the deficit symptom complexes is subject to the basic deficit component of the defect and is separated into polar dimensions (defensive-expansive) within specific clusters of PD, and then unified in accordance with the dichotomy of schizophrenic defect in categories with the predominance of emotional or apathoabulic disorders. Conclusion. ?sychopathy-like symptom complexes in the space of «common syndromes» can be qualified as a psychopathological construct secondary to basic deficit disorders, and their isolation as an independent entity of negative disorders appears to be unjustified.

The use of new information technologies in the educational process intensifies the need for analyzing the existing resources suitable for teaching students in conformity with professional standards. The objective of this study is to consider the significance of survey services in teaching students market research, to analyze the efficiency of survey services, to prove their positive impact on the learning process and to determine requirements for educational survey services. The materials of the study were students' reports on conducting consumer surveys using either paper or online questionnaires. The research is based on a pedagogical experiment to analyze the applicability of Internet resources in the educational process. The results of students' research were processed through the comparison of the data obtained. The authors of the article have developed the life cycle of educational survey services. Based on stages of the life cycle, the authors have determined desired functional characteristics of free survey services, which will simplify the task of selecting a suitable educational tool. It has been confirmed that the exclusive use of Internet technologies in teaching students market research cannot be sufficient, and they should be used in combination with basic approaches to a marketing theory. The conducted pedagogical experiment has proved the consistency of Internet technologies as an educational tool. The authors of the article have revealed that despite undeniable advantages of online survey services they also have significant shortcomings, which makes it impossible to completely replace classic methods of collecting market information from this moment on. The introduction of free survey services into the educational process increases teaching efficiency and develops professional competencies within the existing standards. Defining functional requirements of the above-mentioned life cycle, teachers can choose the best educational survey service taking into account the stages students will go through while using it. An extensive use of information technologies is essential to the formation of new teaching materials and the renewal of the existing ones based on the synthesis of the classical theory of marketing and innovations.

Liver resection remains the method of choice for treatment of colorectal liver metastases with good long-term results. Regional lymph nodes involvement is significant negative prognostic factor. Moreover, it has been considered as a contraindication for liver resection for a long time. The role of lymphadenectomy remains controversial. Current state of this problem is reviewed in the article. Liver regional lymph nodes involvement takes place in 10-20% of cases. PET/CT is the most sensitive method of preoperative diagnosis. Involvement of liver regional lymph nodes is currently not absolute contraindication for liver resection. Routine lymphadenectomy does not make sense, and, perhaps, is justified only within scientific trials for more accurate disease staging. Indications for lymphadenectomy are suspicious changes of lymph nodes revealed by preoperative visualization methods or by intraoperative exploration. Modern chemotherapy regimens allow to reconsider the prognostic importance of liver regional lymph node metastases and to extend indications for liver resections.

AIM: To identify correlation of carotid endarterectomy with neurocognitive function and psycho-emotional state changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 120 patients with internal carotid arteries (ICA) stenoses for the period from September 2013 to December 2016. The main group consisted of 100 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy for internal carotid artery stenosis, control group - 20 patients who refused surgery in 2014-2016. Cognitive function and psycho-emotional state were assessed preoperatively, after 24 hours, 7 days and 3, 6 months postoperatively using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal assessment battery (FAB), Information-Memory-Concentration Test, Clock Drawing Test and Schulte`s test, Luria Memory Words Test, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Covi Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: Moderate preoperative cognitive impairment was observed in 39 (39%) patients of the main group. De novo postoperative cognitive dysfunction occurred in 65 patients on the 1st day after surgery (65%). Disturbances were noted after 1 week in 26%, after 3 months - in 15%, after 6 months - in 10% of patients. Improved status was noted in 31 (31%) patients of the main group within 1 day after surgery. Improved results were observed after 7 days in 52 (52%) patients, after 3 months - in 67 (67%), after 6 months - in 78 (78%) patients. Mean values of psycho-emotional testing in the main group were high before surgery and significantly decreased on the 1st day after operation. However, advanced anxiety and aggravation of depression occurred in 14% of patients (n=14) that affected cognitive sphere (p<0.01). Progressive cognitive impairment was noted in the control group. CONCLUSION: Carotid endarterectomy has a positive long-term effect on initially impaired neurocognitive functions (3 and 6 months) (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in cognitive testing data in subgroups of eversion and classical procedures (p>0.05). Early postoperative depressive disorders significantly increase the risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

AIM: To determine significant predictors of long-term outcomes of surgery for portal cholangiocarcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analysis included 49 out of 84 patients who were operated at the Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery in 2003-2016. Morphological examination (2011-2016) revealed great percentage of following positive variables: micro- (42.9%) and lymphovascular invasion (11.8%), positive resection margin (59.2%), perineural invasion (83.3%), depth of invasion - (83.3%), cells in surrounding fatty tissue (92.3%), invasion of entire thickness of bile ducts' walls (57.1%). Hemihepatectomy was carried out in 50 (59.5%) cases, advanced hemihepatectomy - in 16 (19%) patients. Left-sided hemihepatectomy (34.6%) was more common compared with right-sided hemihepatectomy (8.6%) for biliary confluence lesion (Bismuth-Corlette type IV). RESULTS: TNM stage (p=0.29), tumor localization Bismuth-Corlette type (p=0.10), regional lymph nodes metastases (p=0.77) do not significantly affect survival in univariate analysis. At the same time, TNM stage was significant factor if patients dividing into groups was considered (p=0.05). In regression analysis tumor cells differentiation (p=0.00028), positive resection margin (p=0.0034), perineural invasion and depth of invasion (p=0,00086) were significant predictors of survival. Multivariate analysis confirmed prognostic role of lymphovascular invasion alone (p=0.05). There was no correlation between survival and TNM stage (η=0.057), depth of invasion (η= -0.229) and lymphovascular invasion (η= -0.143645). There was significant reverse moderate correlation between survival and perineural invasion (η= - 0.468750), resection margin (η= -0.558) and tumor differentiation grade (η= -0.481). CONCLUSION: Significant predictors of long-term outcomes of surgery for portal cholangiocarcinoma are TNM stage, lymphovascular invasion, tumor cells differentiation, perineural invasion.

Corneal transplantation is the most successful and frequently performed allotransplantation procedure. Benign outcome of penetrating and posterior keratoplasty depends on viability of the corneal tissue and presence of the proper endothelial layer, which retaining is one of the main objectives of preservation of donor material. Methods designed to reach this goal may be classified according to storage duration as short-term (storage in a moist chamber), medium-term (hypothermia), long-term (organ cultivation) and unlimited (cryopreservation). While there are reports of successful application of cryo-conserved corneas for penetrating keratoplasty, its use for this type of transplantation is limited due to complexity of the method and very high requirements for the quality of donor material. However, being a method of unlimited storage, it still attracts the attention of researchers. Taking into account the ongoing development of innovative keratoplasty technologies and the tendency for predominant use of layered grafts that in some cases do not need viable endothelium, methods of preservation of such material for anterior lamellar and intralamellar keratoplasties become relevant. In this context, cryopreservation without the use of cryoprotective agents is promising because it allows simple and fast accumulation of large amount of material with long storage time. Further research on the development of preservation methods of the corneal endothelial layer at sub-zero temperatures may allow storing the material by cryopreservation that will be suitable for penetrating and posterior keratoplasty.

The article reviews the particularities of development and pathogenesis of secondary dry eye syndrome (DES) after refractive surgeries including a complex of problems related to changes in tear film content, damage of eye surface and neurotrophic epitheliopathy. Additionally, modern algorithms of treatment and prevention of secondary DES in patients after refractive surgeries are described. Despite the transient nature of the changes, excimer-laser surgery can lead to lasting deficiencies of eye surface in some patients. Therefore, intensive and early treatment of secondary DES during the early follow-up period after refractive surgery may significantly reduce risks of tear dysfunction and neurotrophic epitheliopathy development in the long term.

The article reviews the results of using optical coherence tomography (OCT) - a non-invasive non-contact examination method for obtaining a tomographic slice image of the site of glaucoma surgery. The method helped reveal the functional relationships between the newly created outflow pathways and various parameters of the filtering bleb such as its linear dimensions, wall structure, presence of microcysts, position of drainage, etc. Due to its high resolution and noninvasiveness, OCT can be reliably used to examine the structure of aqueous outflow pathways in different postoperative periods with accuracy close to morphometric. The amount of data that had been obtained with the method has allowed the creation of new classifications and clarification of OCT-relevant prognostic signs for glaucoma surgery site.

The article describes a clinical case of Descemet's membrane detachment that occurred during cataract phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular lens. Significant corneal edema developed in the early post-op period. Considering the ability of endothelium to close its own defects even with large injury area, the patient was followed-up for 2 years. Corneal edema was treated during 4 months and concluded with instillations of osmotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. At 1.5-2 months of therapy, the edema was gradually decreasing, and by the 4th month of the follow-up the cornea was practically transparent. Density of endothelial cells in central cornea, where the Descemet's membrane was absent, comprised 1000 cells/mm2. Further observation revealed cornea staying transparent for 2 years after the surgery. Complete optical recovery of patients with Descemet's membrane defect in this case study is supported by similar clinical cases briefly described in the article, and evidence that structural functional recovery of the corneal endothelial layer is possible even when it has large defects (more than 2.5 mm in diameter).

© 2018, Media Sfera. All rights reserved. At present, phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy are the most widespread surgery methods in cataract and glaucoma treatment, generally recognized as the gold standard. Among elderly patients, comorbid glaucoma and cataract are extremely prevalent, so the order of the two surgeries and the time interval between them are pivotal choices when planning treatment strategy. The reason for it is that almost any eye surgery is considered a risk factor for long-term trabeculectomy effectiveness. In attempts to solve this problem, numerous studies have been conducted on the impact of cataract surgery on filtration bleb scarring. The problem of determining the time interval between surgeries, as well as other treatment nuances, remains relevant despite the long history of research and publications. Some results are cited as general recommendations on treatment tactics (increasing the time interval between operations, using antimetabolite and anti-inflammatory therapy, minimizing intraoperative traumatism). However, currently there are no specific recommendations for one of the most important factors - the time interval between cataract extraction and trabeculectomy.

In the modern clinic of internal diseases, the specific gravity of the infectious pathology, manifested by various clinical syndromes, is increasing. Infectious pathology is represented by diseases of the respiratory system, heart disease (infective endocarditis, cardioimplant infections, viral myocarditis), infectious arthropathies, extrahepatic manifestations of viral hepatitis, cytopenic syndromes, various manifestations of sepsis and some other conditions.In most cases, the diagnosis and management of such patients is the responsibility of the internist, who must be able to suspect the infection and carry out its verification. In the process of diagnostic search and management of patients, close interaction of the internist with a clinical microbiologist, clinical pharmacologist and other related specialists is necessary.

We presented the results of our study of chronostructure of BP, HR, electrolyte excretion, and locomotor activity under conditions of “free-run rhythm” (light deprivation). In adult male Wistar-Kyoto (normotensive) and SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats, BP, biopotentials of the heart (ECG), and locomotor activity were recorded over 24 h by telemetric monitoring and the rate of excretion of electrolytes (Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ ) during the nighttime and daytime hours was measured. It was found that under free-run rhythm, 24-h profiles of BP, HR, excretory function of the kidneys, and locomotor activity underwent more considerable changes in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats in comparison with hypertensive SHR rats. However, hypertensive rats demonstrated pronounced changes in rhythmic characteristics of HR, which can restrict adaptation reserves of the cardiovascular system.

The article reviews the literature devoted to modern intraoperative methods of preventing cicatricial process at the site of dacryostoma after endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy. Despite the constant improvement of the surgery technique, complications in the postoperative period still occur. They include the formation of granulation tissue at the sites of dacryostoma, synechiae in the nasal cavity, or narrowing of the dacryostoma, which ultimately leads to a relapse of the disease. The main prevention methods are construction of flaps from the medial wall of the lacrimal sac, from mucosa of the nasal cavity, and intubation of the dacryostoma with the lacrimal implant. They are used separately and in various combinations.

© 2013-2018 Federal Scientific Center for Medical and Preventive Health Risk Management Technologies. Yessotoxin (YTX) is a polyether. There are more than 90 known derivatives of yessotoxin. YTX was excluded from diarrhea toxins group as it, unlike okadaic acid, doesn't cause diarrhea. YTX chemical structure is similar to that of brevetoxins and ciguatoxins that influence functioning of calcium-sodium pump and trans-membrane ion channels. So, YTX can exert influence on functioning of all the organs and systems in a body. YTX is known to promote apoptosis in the cerebral tissues. Average lethal dose LD50 for YTX and its analogues varied from 100 μg/kg to 500-750 μg/kg; the figures were obtained in various experiments performed on mice. Safe YTX level for acute impact (acute reference dose) amounts to 25 μM/kg of body weight. Nowadays toxicity parameters for YTX and some of its analogues are determined; its basic action mechanisms and a role it plays in promoting apoptosis are well-known. In spite of more and more data on biological effects produced by YTX on a warm-blooded organism, experts are still unable to describe its action mechanisms precisely. Our research goal was to examine YTX toxicity in experiments in vivo in doses that were lower than the detected acute reference dose. The experiment was performed on 72 male Wistar rats with initial body weight being equal to 100±10 g. Animals were given dry balanced feedstuffproduced by "Laboratortakorm" LLC (Russia) and had free access to it. We used YTX preparation produced by "National Research Council Canada" (Canada) in our experiment; the preparation was a methanol solution (YTX content was equal to 4.3 μmol). We determined mass of internal organs, biochemical and hematological blood parameters, apoptosis of brain cells, malonic dialdehyde level in the brain and reduced glutathione in the liver. We showed that YTX doses (2μM/kg, 8μM/kg and 12μM/kg) lower than ARfD=2μM/kg can exert toxic impacts on a warm-blooded organism. The obtain data prove it is necessary to additionally assess risks of an increase in maximum permissible YTX contents in shellfish from 1 mg/kg to 3.75 mg/kg.
