Today it is noted that the most cases of the hypospadias, cryptorchidism, testicular microlithiasis, as well as problems of semen quality and testicular germ cell tumours can be a clinical manifestation of testicular dysgenesis syndrome caused by abnormal development of reproductive organs. In the last decade, technological progress in the molecular genetics has made possible to carry out a directed search for genetic factors associated with reproductive disorders in men. In the review we attempted to analyze available literature data on the testicular dysgenesis syndrome and its constituent condition and also to consider the risk factors associated with its development. We give particular attention to the consideration of genetic factors that determine the manifestation of testicular microlithiasis, cryptorchidism and testicular germ cell tumors, both individual clinical conditions and in the syndrome of testicular dysgenesis. Knowledge of the genetic aspects of reproductive damage will allow us to characterize the complex interconnection of the human genome with the clinical phenotype, clarify the role of unfavorable factors of the environment and the lifestyle of the individual, and suggest new approaches to treatment.

Non-motor disturbances represented by sensory, affective, obsessive-compulsive disorders, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disturbances are often found in patients with dystonia and have a negative impact on their quality of life. The prevalence of sensory and affective disorders and sleep disturbances is above 50% in patients with cervical dystonia and is 25% in patients with blepharospasm, writing spasm; cognitive dysfunction is found in more than 25% of patients with focal dystonia. The relationship of nonmotor, in particular psychiatric disorders, with the impairment of social and everyday life and worsening of quality of life in whole was shown. Common pathophysiological mechanisms of non-motor disorders as well as approaches to treatment of these disorders are discussed. The authors present the results on the positive effect of botulinum toxin therapy that reduces cognitive dysfunction, sensory disorders and depressive syndrome. Non-medication treatment of non-motor disorders in patients with dystonia is considered.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group.All Rights Reserved. Aim. To evaluate the presence and the severity of the complaints (headache, dizziness, memory loss, concentration of attention, sleep disturbances, decreased mood, increased anxiety), the state of cognitive functions, emotional status and quality of night sleep in treatmentnaïve middle-aged patients with mild to moderate EAH compared to healthy volunteers of the same age. Materials and methods. 103 treatment-naïve patients with EAH aged 40-59 years at the enrollment, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and provided written informed consent (46 men, mean age 53.6±0.8 years) and 50 healthy volunteers (17 men, mean age 51.5±1.0 years) with normal blood pressure (BP) level - control group - were enrolled to the study. Mean EAH duration was 2.9±5.7 years. Cognitive assessment included Montreal cognitive assessment, 10-words learning task, verbal fluency test, TMT, Stroop color and word test. Anxiety and depression were evaluated via Hamilton rating scales (HARS and HDRS). 24-hours ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) was performed according to European guidelines. Results. 70% of patients with EAH complained of memory disturbance, 68% - lack of attention, 22% - sleep disturbances, 12% - dizziness, 9% - headache. It took statistically significant more time for patients with EAH to perform on TMT B (p<0.05), they had significantly higher TMT B - TMT A difference score (p<0.01) and lower mean MoCA score (p<0.05). Patients with EAH had significantly higher mean score in Hamilton anxiety (2.1±3.7) and depression (1.1±2.4) rating scales compared to controls (0.3±0.9 points, p<0.01 and 0.1±0.5 points, p<0.001, respectively). Patients with EAH who complained of sleep disturbances had low sleep quality (8.7±2.8 points). Among patients with EAH who complained about headaches 66.6% had episodic migraine and chronic tension type headache (33.4%). Those patients had a substantial impact of headache on life and daily living according to HIT-6 (mean score - 57.5±6.1). Only 2 patients out of 12 with complains about dizziness had benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and Ménière's disease. Conclusion. Complaints about memory dysfunction, lack of attention, sleep disturbances, less common - dizziness and headaches, are most typical in patients with EAH on the early stages of the disease. They differ from healthy volunteers of the same age by having cognitive impairment and higher anxiety and depression scores. Patients with EAH who complained about sleep disturbances had low sleep quality. Headache in patients with EAH was due to episodic migraine and tension type headache which had a negative impact on life and daily living.

Although on the first glance, the prevention of arterial hypertension (AH) is effective since childhood and adolescence, further research is needed, as it is not well known how to make it effective. Aim. Based upon the analysis of 32-year long dynamics of various levels of blood pressure (BP), to define the efficacy of screening investigations in children. Material and methods. A 32-year long prospective, cohort study conducted, the observation of males beginning at age 11-12 y.o. In 32 years, among 1005 participants, 303 (30,1%) were investigated, and the cohort consisted finally of 290 persons. The assessment included: surveying, triple BP measurement, pulse count, body mass and height measurement, triceps skin folds thickness measurement, as scapular and abdominal, waist and hip circumference, total cholesterol measurement, as the high density, and level of triglycerides, electrocardiogram. Results. Among the males that at the age 12 were in the upper 20% (5th quintile) by systolic BP, in 32 years almost one quarter remained in the same quintile. The stability of raised BP the parameters influence such as body mass and skin fold thickness. Combination of raised systolic BP in high body mass in 13 y.o. adolescents does increase the risk of AH at 43 y.o. the same grade that does an isolated body mass increase - this witness on the decrease of baseline BP values role in hypertension developemnt with remaining role of body mass. The risk of AH development with the baseline age 15 y.o. was significantly higher in combination of overweight and AH. Conclusion. For AH prevention, even in childhood and adolescence it necessary to monitor closely those with raised systolic BP and overweight, and active prevention should start before the age 20 y.o.

We undertook the analysis of the archive data of forensic medical expertises of the non-identified corpses accumulated at the tanatological divisions of the Moscow Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise for the period from 2012 till 2016. Special attention was given to sex and age composition of the deceased as well as the structure of mortality and the traces of ethyl alcohol, if any, present in the blood. It was shown that the majority of the unidentified bodies were those of the young men, with the main cause of the non-violent deaths being the cardiovascular pathology. Ethyl alcohol was found in the blood of 43% of the corpses. The analysis encompassed also the most frequently used methods for personality identification based on the data available from the medical-criminalistic department of the Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise. The statistical treatment of the results of the study provided materials making it possible to envision the tendencies of the further development and improvement of the methods for personality identification for the purpose of forensic medical expertise and judicial practice.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Purpose of the review. To present application of Chicago classification criteria of esophageal motility disorders defined in high resolution manometry in clinical practice. Basic provisions. High-resolution manometry is the most exact hi-tech diagnostic method for esophageal motor function disorders according to Chicago classification v3.0. Uniqueness of the method consists in capacity to define integrated quantitative and qualitative metrics of esophageal contractile function and to establish their specific disorders e.g.: change of intrabolus pressure at disorders of esophagogastric junction (EGj) outflow, hypercontractile esophagus, fragmented contractions and weak or failed peristalsis, distal esophageal spasm. Assessment of the type of Achalasia subtypes has significant impact on the patients' treatment choice. According to anatomical location of the lower esophageal sphincter and crural diaphragm several morphological types of gastro-esophageal junction are defined that determine severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Multiple rapid swallow responses during esophageal high-resolution manometry reflect esophageal body peristaltic reserve and is a predictor of postoperative complications. Differential diagnosis of belching type became possible at combined application of high-resolution manometry and impedance measurement. Conclusion. High-resolution manometry is a fundamental diagnostic test of esophageal motor function disorders. Clinical application of this method significantly expands diagnostic potential and allows to carry out personalized treatment that increases treatment quality.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Research objective - comparative analysis of incidence and structure of anxiety-depressive spectrum disorders (ADD) in patients with various rheumatic diseases (RD). Materials and methods. 613 patients with RD were enrolled in the study: 180 with a reliable diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 128 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 110 with systemic sclerosis (SSc), 115 with Behcet's disease (BD), 80 with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Female prevailed in all groups (95% of patients with pSS, 88,2% - SSc, 87,2% - RA, 85,5% of SLE) except BD patients (70% male). The mean age was 42.3±1.54 years and was lower in patients with BD (33.3±0.98 years) and SLE (34.6±0.93 years) compared to patients with SSc (49.9±2.47 years), RA (47.4±0.99 years) and pSS (46.2±2.3 years). The mean RD duration was 130,0±8,65 months and was more at BD - 148,5±10,4 months, pSS - 141,6±8,92 months, RA - 138,4±10,1months, and less at SLE - 134,9±8,8 months and SSc - 87,0±5,04 months. The mean SLE activity index SLEDAI was 9,13±0,63 points (high), RA (DAS28) - 5,26±0,17 points (high), BD (BDCAF) - 3,79±0,2 points (moderate) and SSc by G. Valentini - 1,1±0,20 points (moderate). Glucocorticoids took 100% of patients with pSS, 91,1% - SLE, 90% - SSc, 87% - BD and 67,2% - RA patients; conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs) took 90% of patients with SSc, 84% - BD, 79,6% - RA, 68% - pSS, 40,6% - SLE. Biologic DMARDs took 32% of patients with RA, 17,4% - BD, 7,3% - SSc and 7,2% - SLE. Mental disorders were diagnosed by psychiatrist as a result of screening by the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and in semi-structured interview in accordance with the ICD-10/ DSM-IV. The severity of depression was evaluated by Montgomery- Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and anxiety - by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Projective psychological methods were used for cognitive impairment detection. Results. Screening of depressive disorders (HADS-D≥8) was positive in 180 (29,4%) patients with RD, including 74 (41%) patients with SLE, 38 (35%) - SSc, 29 (23%) - RA, 23 (20%) - BD and 16 (20%) - pSS; anxiety disorders (HADS-A≥8) - in 272 (44,4%) patients, including 66 (52%) patients with RA, 40 (50%) - pSS, 77 (43%) - SLE, 45 (41%) - SSc and 44 (38%) - BD. In accordance with the ICD-10/ DSMIV depressive disorders have been identified in 389 (63%) patients, including 94 (73%) patients with RA, 71 (64,5%) - SSc, 69 (60%) - BD, 90 (50%) - SLE and 39 (49%) - pSS; anxiety disorders - in 377 (61,5%) patients, including 20 (25%) patients with pSS, 44 (24,5%) - SLE, 29 (23%) - RA, 20 (17%) - BD and 7 (6,4%) - SSc. Conclusion. Anxiety-depressive spectrum disorders are typical for most patients with RA, SLE, SSc, pSS and BD. ADDs diagnosis in RD patients with the use of the HADS did not reveal a significant proportion. To obtain objective data on the frequency and structure of ADDs, psychopathological and clinical psychological diagnosis is necessary.

It is discussed the present of cognitive impairment in this category of patients. The data of functional MRI are analyzed, and these results allow taking a fresh look at the origin of clinical disorders in this condition. The importance of cerebral connections disruption is emphasized. It is focused on the fact that in the functioning of the central nervous system the spontaneous activity of the brain has a significant importance. Separately is analyzed "the resting state". It is concluded that MHE, despite its minimal manifestations, is a clinically significant condition requiring attention of a specialists. With that, it is often not diagnosed on time in clinical practice, which could lead to more severe damage of the cerebral functions. As evidenced by the data obtained at the present time, quite extensive changes in the neuronal activity are underlid of the cognitive deficit.

© 2018, SPb RAACI. Ability of mesenchymal multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) to differentiate into several types of mesenchymal tissues allows to consider these cells the main candidates for creating tissue engineering constructions for regenerative medicine. MSCs promote integration of bio-implants into the native bone and stimulate osteogenesis. MSCs are characterized by immunomodulatory properties, due to inflammation control and modification of immune cells. MSCs affect not only the in vivo immune response by preventing immunological rejection of implanted tissue engineering designs, but it can also influence the bone tissue immunity. MSCs play an important role in bone regeneration, by regulating the osteoblastic generation, and suppressing activity of inflammation effectors and osteoclastogenesis. Some pre-clinical and first clinical trials of bone bio-implants colonized with MSC, demonstrate promising outlooks for this strategy in order to obtain tissue engineering constructions for bone regeneration.

© Russian Journal of Cardiology. Aim. Evaluation of clinical specifics, predictors of repeat hospitalizations and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients according to pulmonary hypertension (PH) severity grade. Material and methods. To the study, 288 COPD patients included (II-IV severity grade, GOLD 2016; males 276, females 12; mean age 59,5±9,27 y. o., smoking 23,1±11,42 pack/years; 2,4±0,89 exacerbations annually, body mass index (BMI) 27,2±12,06 kg/m 2 ). According to the presence and grade of systolic pressure increase in pulmonary artery (SPPA) the patients were selected to three groups: 1st — with no PH (SPPA <40 mmHg, n=168), 2nd — with moderate PH (SPPA 40-55 mmHg, n=101), 3rd — with severe PH (SPPA >55 mmHg, n=19). Results. Increase of SPPA was found in 120 (41,7%) patients: moderate PA — in 101 (35,1%), severe PH — 19 (6,6%). It was shown that the presence and severity of PH do increase the severity of clinical signs of COPD, hemodynamic disorders, increase the rate of repeat hospitalizations and mortality rate. The predictors of repeat hospitalizations in COPD patients are increased SPPA and C-reactive protein concentration (CRP); mortality predictors are severity of symptoms by CAT, Borg dyspnea, number of exacerbations during one year, size of the right atrium, grade of SPPA increase, CRP concentration, fibrinogen, N-terminal precursors of C-natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP) and brain peptide (NT-proBNP) in the blood. Conclusion. PH in COPD patients in most cases is moderate, and it worsens the clinical picture, hemodynamic disorders, shows only moderate correlation with breathing disorders, increases the rate of rehospitalizations and mortality risk. The survival rate of COPD and PH patients depends on the severity.

To evaluate the role of N-terminal procollagen type III propeptide (P3NP) as a proposed marker of myocardial fibrosis in type 2 diabetes (DM2) patients. Material and methods. In the study, 2 groups of patients participated: with DM2 and non-DM2 (both n=32). All patients underwent clinical and laboratory assessment, including P3NP, electrocardiography, echocardiography. Statistics was done with Mann-Whitney criteria and Spearman correlation. Results. The level P3NP is significantly higher in DM2 patients (р<0,00001). In DM2 patients, the level of P3NP significantly correlates with increased myocardial mass of the left ventricle (р=0,00026) and myocardial mass index of the left ventricle (р=0,03685). Conclusion. Echo- and electrocardiographic signs characteristic for myocardial fibrosis (mass increase, voltage decline) in DM2 patients are concomitant with the increase of P3NP. Significant correlation of P3NP and the size of myocardium makes it to propose P3NP as one of possible markers of myocardial fibrosis in DM2 persons.

Systemic involvement of various vascular beds in atherogenesis is emphasized. Epidemiological characteristics of morbidity and mortality from the main clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis - ischemic stroke, ischemic heart disease and lower-extremity arterial disease are given. The current principles of drug therapy are considered from the point of view of improving the prognosis and eliminating ischemia. The basic positions of International and Russian clinical recommendations on the management of patients with the presence of certain clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are discussed. Detailed administration schemes and the preferred doses of statins and antiplatelet agents depending on the localization of atherosclerotic lesion and the severity of stenosis are described. The target blood lipids levels in the treatment with statins are given. The advantages of statins as drugs that reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications are presented. Current data on the pattern of antiplatelet use, including acetylsalicylic acid, in individuals with clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are given. The principal tactic of dual antiplatelet therapy and schemes of its use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass surgery and in individuals with a history of acute coronary disorders are considered..

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective - to evaluate the possible epidemiological and economic efficiency of pneumococcal vaccination in men with different chronic diseases. Material and methods. A prognostic (Markov) model was constructed based on the data available in the literature. The estimated efficiency of pneumococcal vaccination in reducing mortality, preventable diseases, and economic damage over a 5-year period was evaluated in able-bodied men. According to official statistics, the group at high risk for pneumonia in the Russian Federation includes 21,575,887 able-bodied men. The sources of data on the cost of the disease were governmental tariffs in the compulsory health insurance system in 2016 and those of vaccination cost were the results of competitive bidding for the procurement of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Results. The results of extrapolation of data from Russian and foreign studies in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, or diabetes mellitus showed a significant reduction in the risk of complications due to the underlying disease (RR=0.58; p<0.05), the number of hospitalizations (RR=0.02; p<0.05), and expected postvaccination mortality. The cost of vaccination in the assessed patient group was 25,869.5 million rubles. The use of PCV13 significantly reduces the number of exacerbations and, accordingly, hospitalizations, which saves about 14,359.9 million rubles in each subsequent year after vaccination. Thus, the total budget savings can reach 2,850.3 million rubles just during 2 years. A single dose of PCV13 will save at least 61,702 lives over 5 years. Conclusion. The results of this investigation suggest that pneumococcal vaccination has high epidemiological and clinical efficiency in able-bodied men with chronic diseases. This intervention reduces morbidity rates, the number of exacerbations and hospitalizations, as well as deaths in the vaccinated group, and it is a cost-effective investment in public health service.

© 2018 SPIE. The conductivity of layers (thickness ∼ 0.5-20 μm) of composite nanomaterials consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been studied. The BSA/SWCNT composite nanomaterial was prepared according to a route map, some steps of which are: the preparation of an aqueous dispersion based on BSA and SWCNT; preparation of substrates; deposition of BSA/SWCNT dispersion on substrates; application of water paste from SWCNT on substrates; irradiation of layers by lasers when they were in a liquid state; drying of samples; carrying out electrical and temperature measurements. Half of the layer was covered with a light-tight hollow box and the other half of the layer was laser irradiated. The laser irradiation of the layer was carried out for about 20 sec, at which time the layers completely became dry, while the other half of the layer remained in liquid. Conductivity was increased (70 ÷ 650) % by laser irradiation of the layers when they were in the liquid state. Maximum values of specific conductivity for BSA/SWCNT-1 S/m layers, and for layers SWCNT - 70 kS/m. The investigated electrically conductive layers of 99 wt.% BSA/0.3 wt.% SWCNT are promising for medical practice.

The systematic review provides a justification for the value of innate immunity as an initial, necessary and determinant stage in the development of adaptive immunity. The participation of TLRs as a leading component of PRRs-system in maintaining natural congenital anti-infection resistance and homeostasis of the organism, in launching and dynamics of development of adaptive immunity to pathogens of infectious and non-infectious genesis was studied in detail. The importance of the influence of these pathogens on the homeostasis of the organism, on the formation of disturbances in anti-infective resistance at the organism and local levels, revealing new pathophysiological and immunological pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of these pathological processes is established. The colossal gap between fundamental studies of the biology and morphology of microorganisms and clinical studies of the diseases they cause is shortening. In an accessible form, explanations are provided for the absence of symptoms, the possibility of atypical manifestations, and the asymptomatic course of infection. There are new wide opportunities to improve and enhance the information content and personalization methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention, as well as the creation of pharmaceuticals that act detrimental to all forms of cycle of development of pathogens, and new immunomodulatory drugs for the most effective treatment and prevention of diseases.
