Objective: To determine risk factors in different pathogenic subtypes of ischemic stroke in Tashkent hospital registry and to compare with the data of other stroke registers. Design: Prospective observational study. Participants: 300 adults aged 18 years or over who suffered first-ever acute ischemic stroke, of them, the data of 100 patients with atherothrombotic, lacunar and cardioembolic strokes were analyzed. Main outcome measures: Mathematically significant differences and not significant differences but interesting from other point of view. Categorical variables are expressed as frequencies and percentages. Differences were regarded as statistically significant when the P value was less than 0.05 (P<0.05). Results: Of 100 patients with acute first-ever ischemic stroke at the median age of 62.63±4.68 (interquartile range 25-92) years, 57% were men and 43% were women. Depending on aetiology and stroke subtype, all the patients were divided into three groups: 42 patients with atherothrombotic stroke, 41 – with lacunar stroke, and 17 patients with cardioembolic stroke. Atherothrombotic stroke developed often in people over 60 years old, while lacunar stroke prevailed at the younger age. Stroke cases increased in people over 51 years old. Although men were more likely to suffer strokes than women, stroke incidence was equal in both sexes with increasing of age (over 60 years old), especially in atherothrombotic stroke, testifying to that women live longer. Combination of cerebral atherosclerosis and hypertension was the most significant risk factor for stroke. Atherosclerosis was the main aetiological factor for ischemic stroke, independently of its pathogenic heterogeneity. Diabetes mellitus was an independent risk factor for all stroke subtypes, which in most cases worsened the European Medical, Health and Pharmaceutical Journal ISSN 1804-5804 course and outcome of stroke. Hypertension was the leader aetiological factor for lacunar stroke. In these patients, we Cardioembolic stroke developed mainly because of cardiac thrombosis and valve pathology, which were often associated with chronic diseases of other organs, worsening the course and outcome of stroke. Despite of high prevalence of myocardial infarction in men, women were more likely to develop cardioembolic stroke. Conclusions: This study found simultaneous influence of many risk factors (multifactorial disease) in the development of ischemic stroke. The more course and influence of the underlying disease and risk factor, the higher stroke risk and severity, especially in the absence or inadequate previous therapy of underlying disease before the stroke index. We have noted a high prevalence of under-diagnosis of vascular risk factors at levels of primary and secondary care. We recommend for improved public awareness of vascular risk factors and better diagnostic and treatment facilities aimed at addressing those factors at levels of primary and secondary healthcare.

In the department of coloproctology of NORC MH RUz 17 patients with disseminated forms of colorectal cancer was made the study of oncogenes and complex treatment by 2 protocols using FOLFOX4 regime and FOLFIRI regime. In second protocol there used 2 sessions of endolymphatical polychemotherapy FOLFOX4 regime against EHFhyperthermia. All patients were performed additional investigations directed to study the presence of multiple drug resistance in them where definition of р53, bcl2 oncogene expression. In our observations we followed resistance to FOLFOX4 scheme in 4 patients, and to FOLFIRI scheme in 2 cases. In our studies hyperexpression of oncoproteine р53 was correlated with the effect of conducted therapy whereas hyperexpr, Navruzov S. N., Abdujapparov S. B., Pulatov D. A., Islamov H.

To study defects and chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus, we retrospectively analyzed results of comprehensive dynamic survey of 26,404 pregnant women aged 1850 years old at 6 to 40 weeks of pregnancy. Of them, 25,956 (98.3%) women had physiological course of pregnancy, 448 (1.7%) women had abnormal pregnancy. For the diagnosis of fetal defects, we carried out ultrasound, biochemical, invasive and cytogenetic studies. The results of study showed that the majority of fetal defects and pathological course of pregnancy was noted in women at the age of 2125 years old, since at this age period women have the highest number of pregnancies. At the older age, we noted a gradual decrease in the number of pregnant women, as well as the number of abnormalities of the fetus. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we have developed an algorithm for early fetal ultrasound examination. In order to exclude nondeveloping pregnancy and intrauterine fetal death, as well as for early diagnosis of fetal defects, we recommend screening women in the first trimester of pregnancy., Shahnoza Kamalidinova, and Literatura
Úvod: Vrozené srdeční vady jsou nejčastější vývojovou vadou plodu. Detekce vrozených srdečních vad u plodu je založena na propojení screeningového a specializovaného echokardiografického vyšetření. Metodika: Pro posouzení úspěšnosti prenatálního záchytu srdečních vad používáme srovnání s prospektivní studií BOSS o postnatální prevalenci vad v ČR. Prevalence všech srdečních vad byla 6,16 na 1 000 živě narozených dětí a kritických 2,36/1 000 živě narozených dětí. Výsledky: V České republice se v období 1986-2012 intrauterinně odhalilo 2 996 plodů se srdeční vadou. V posledních 5 letech se záchytnost vad srdce pohybuje v rozmezí 39-47 % a detekce kritických vad přesáhla 80 % z očekávaného počtu VSV. Z celkového počtu fetálně detekovaných VSV se 1 612 (54 %) těhotných rozhodlo pro ukončení gravidity, z nichž 49 % mělo další extrakardiální vadu. Narodilo se 1 296 dětí s prenatální diagnózou VSV (43 %) a 90 plodů (3 %) zemřelo intrauterinně. Vzhledem k vysoké četnosti ukončení gravidity se mění postnatální spektrum srdečních vad. Snižuje se počet dětí s diagnózou syndromu hypoplázie levého srdce, atrioventrikulárním defektem, atrézií plicnice, společným arteriálním trunkem, společnou komorou a Ebsteinovou anomálií. Závěr: Prenatální echokardiografie prováděná v celé České republice umožňuje v posledních letech detekci až 47 % všech a více než 80 % kritických srdečních vad. Vysoký počet ukončených těhotenství je nejspíše důsledkem závažnosti srdečních vad a četných přidružených vývojových abnormalit. Četnost ukončení gravidity má vliv na postnatální spektrum srdečních vad, kdy ubývá závažných nebo komplexních srdečních onemocnění (syndromu hypoplázie levého srdce a dalších)., Introduction: Congenital heart defects (CHD) represents the most frequent congenital malformation. Prenatal detection of heart lesions is based on cooperation of screening and specialized echocardiographic examination. Methods: To assess the success of prenatal detection of heart defects (CHD) we compared the number of prenatal diagnosis with a known prevalence of CHD at birth as determined by prospective Bohemian „BOSS“ study. The study established prevalence of all CHD at birth 6.16 per 1 000 liveborn newborns and 2.36 of those with critical forms. Results: Between 1986 and 2012 were evaluated 2 996 of foetuses with congenital heart defects. A detection rate of CHD reached 47% during recent five years and detection of critical forms exceeded 80%. 1 612 (54%) mothers of foetuses with CHD opted for termination of pregnancy, 49% of them had an extracardiac heart malformations. 1 296 (43%) newborns were born with prenatally detected heart lesion and 90 (3%) foetuses died in utero. Due to high termination rate of foetuses with CHD the number of children with several complexed heart lesions declined (hypoplastic left heart syndrome, pulmonary atresia, single ventricle, persistent arterial trunk, atrioventricular defect and Ebstein anomaly). Conclusion: The nationwide prenatal ultrasound screening programme enabled detection of 43% of all CHD in recent years. Owing to severity of lesions and associated extracardiac malformations and cultural background, termination rate of foetuses with CHD remains high. High termination rate lead to significant decrease of postnatal incidence of several complex and severe CHD (such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome)., Viktor Tomek, Hana Jičínská, Jiří Gilík, Jan Škovránek, Jiří Navrátil, Jan Janoušek, and Literatura
Background: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of serum levels of soluble form of endoglin in stage III colorectal adenocarcinomas (CRC) patients for detection of recurrence. Methods: The case-control study consisted of 80 stage III CRC patients who underwent surgery with curative intent and 70 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Serum levels of soluble form of endoglin (sol-end) were measured in both groups. Also, predictive factors of recurrence were evaluated using multivariate analyses. Results: Serum levels of sol-end in stage III CRC patients were significantly higher than those in controls. There was not a significant association between serum levels of sol-end and clinicopathological features in CRC patients. Multivariate regression analysis showed the LN R (hazard ratio, 2.54; 95% CI , 1.46–4.34; p < 0.001), to be significant independent factors to estimate local recurrence in stage III CRC patients. Conclusion: Preoperative serum levels of sol-end do not seem useful as a marker for detection of recurrence in stage III CRC patients., Ismail Gomceli, Mesut Tez, Erdal B.

Cíl studie: Hlavním cílem studie bylo srovnat výsledky stanovení presepsinu s výsledky rutinně používané metody ke stanovení prokalcitoninu (PCT) u pacientů v septickém stavu, na jednotlivých kazuistikách pak popsat diagnostický a prognostic - ký význam presepsinu vedle PCT a jejich případné shodné či odlišné vlastnosti. Materiál a metody: Ze skupiny 70 pacientů, kteří se v daném období léčili ve FN Brno s diagnózou sepse, bylo vybráno 31 jedinců, u kterých byl delší dobu monitorován prokalcitonin a CRP. U těchto pacientů jsme stanovili presepsin. Při vyhod - nocení studie byla srovnávána skupina pacientů, kteří sepsi přežili (23 pacientů), se skupinou zemřelých (8 pacientů). Čtyři kazuistiky byly popsány detailně. K analýze presepsinu byla využita chemiluminiscenční enzymoimunoanalytická metoda na analyzátoru PATHFAST od firmy Mitsubishi Chemical. Výsledky: U vybraného souboru byly srovnány koncentrace presepsinu, prokalcitoninu a CRP mezi skupinou přeživších pacientů a těch, kteří zemřeli. K hodnocení výsledků byly použity koncentrace presepsinu, PCT a CRP při příjmu či v době stanovení diagnózy sepse, při ukončení monitorování sepse a v době dosažení maximálních hodnot sledovaných parame - trů. Statisticky významný rozdíl mezi skupinou zemřelých a uzdravených byl zaznamenán u parametrů získaných při příjmu a v době ukončení monitorování sepse, a to jak u presepsinu (P=0,023 resp. P=0,002), tak u prokalcitoninu (P=0,021 resp. P=0,0003). Na vybraných kazuistikách je vidět, že při špatné prognóze zůstává presepsin na rozdíl od prokalcitoninu vyso - ký. Závěr: Presepsin je podobně jako PCT vhodný marker pro diagnostiku, monitorování i prognózu sepse. Dle našich výsledků potvrzených nejnovějšími literárními údaji se dokonce jeví jako lepší prognostický marker než prokalcitonin, Objective: To compare the results of presepsin determination with the results of the routinely used method of procalcitonin (PCT) determination on patients with sepsis. We use individual casuistries to describe the diagnostic significance of prese - psin compared with PCT and their identical and different properties. Material and Methods: From the original cohort of patients treated for sepsis in University Hospital Brno, 31 individuals with long-term monitoring of procalcitonin and CRP sepsis markers were selected, and measured simultaneously for presepsin. The patients were further divided into two groups - 23 survivors and 8 non-survivors. Four casuistries are described in detail.Analysis of presepsin was carried out using chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay on the fully automated POCT instrument PATHFAST from Mitsubishi Chemical. Results: The concentration of presepsin and PCT was compared between survivors and non-survivors. The evaluation of the results was based on samples from the first day after admission or development of sepsis, the day when the para - meters reached the maximum value, and the date when monitoring of the septic condition was terminated (termination of hospitalization, exitus). A statistically significant difference between both groups was found at admission and at the end of sepsis monitoring for both presepsin (P=0.023 resp. P=0.002) and PCT (P=0.021 resp. P=0.0003). The given casuistries demonstrate that presepsin stays high in cases with a bad prognosis when compared to PCT. Conclusions: Like PCT, presepsin is a suitable marker for diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of sepsis. Our results and findings in the latest literature even indicate that presepsin is superior to procalcitonin as a prognostic marker of sepsis., Beňovská M., Bučková D., Petříková D., Stašek J., Gottwaldová J., and Literatura
