Background. Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in which the main pathogenic processes originate from metabolic dysfunction. In recent years, MAFLD has acquired the nature of an epidemic, which is closely related to the epidemic of obesity, type diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Along with the known pathogenetic factors outlined in the “multiple parallel hits” hypothesis, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the russian military aggression in Ukraine, an additional powerful pathogenetic factor that can affect the course of many diseases, including MAFLD, is chronic stress. The aim of the study is to identify the clinical and biochemical features of MAFLD against the background of T2DM under the conditions of military stress in Ukraine. Materials and methods. We conducted a comparative study on the features of the course of MAFLD in 64 participants with T2DM: the first group — 44 individuals who were constantly under martial law in Ukraine, and controls — 20 patients who returned to Ukraine after a long (over 12 months) stay abroad. Results. The research shows that patients with MAFLD, who were affected by the negative consequences of military actions, had a statistically significant increase in the level of fasting glucose and markers of insulin resistance, an increase in the activity of liver transaminases and the level of markers of systemic inflammation compared to the pre-war period. The negative impact of wartime stress factors causes diabetic distress and a more severe course of MAFLD, which can subsequently lead to rapid progression of the disease. Most patients of the first group reported significant changes in the psycho-emotional state. The most common were low mood (81.8 %), feeling of anxiety/fear (79.5 %), sleep disturbances (81.8 %), general weakness and quick fatigue (63.3 %), which occurred much more often and were more pronounced than in the control group. Conclusions. During active military operations, epigenetic factors such as changes in the regime and quality of nutrition, psycho-emotional disorders in the form of astheno-neurotic and anxiety-depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, war-related unemployment and other negative factors become of great importance. Therefore, in these patients, control of optimal levels of glycemia, indicators of liver tests and lipid spectrum, as well as the state of mental health, are very significant.
背景。代谢相关性脂肪肝(MAFLD)是最常见的慢性肝病,其主要致病过程源于代谢功能障碍。近年来,代谢相关性脂肪肝已成为一种流行病,与肥胖、糖尿病(T2DM)的流行以及心血管疾病风险的显著增加密切相关。除了 "多重平行打击 "假说中概述的已知致病因素外,在 COVID-19 大流行和俄罗斯对乌克兰的军事侵略背景下,另一个可影响包括 MAFLD 在内的多种疾病病程的强大致病因素是慢性压力。本研究旨在确定在乌克兰军事压力条件下,以 T2DM 为背景的 MAFLD 的临床和生化特征。材料和方法。我们对 64 名 T2DM 患者的 MAFLD 病程特征进行了比较研究:第一组--44 名长期处于乌克兰戒严状态的人,对照组--20 名长期(超过 12 个月)出国后返回乌克兰的患者。结果显示研究表明,与战前相比,受军事行动负面影响的 MAFLD 患者的空腹血糖水平和胰岛素抵抗标志物、肝脏转氨酶活性和全身炎症标志物水平均有统计学意义的显著增加。战时应激因素的负面影响会导致糖尿病困扰和更严重的 MAFLD 病程,进而导致疾病快速进展。第一组的大多数患者都报告说他们的心理情绪发生了显著变化。最常见的是情绪低落(81.8%)、焦虑/恐惧感(79.5%)、睡眠障碍(81.8%)、全身乏力和快速疲劳(63.3%),与对照组相比,这些症状发生得更频繁、更明显。结论在现役军事行动期间,表观遗传因素,如营养制度和营养质量的变化、以哮喘神经症和焦虑抑郁症为表现形式的心理情绪失调、创伤后应激障碍、与战争有关的失业和其他负面因素变得非常重要。因此,对这些患者来说,控制血糖的最佳水平、肝脏检测指标和血脂谱以及精神健康状况都非常重要。

Background. Genital endometriosis is one of the most urgent problems of modern gynecology. Considering oxidative stress as a pathogenetic link of endometriosis, we believe it reasonable to use a combined drug containing superoxide dismutase, resveratrol, and zinc. The purpose of the work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment for genital endometriosis supplemented with the use of superoxide dismutase, resveratrol, and zinc, taking into account the leading pathophysiological links of the pathology. Materials and methods. Thirty-seven women of reproductive age with genital endometriosis were under observation. Treatment in the first group was carried out in accordance with the Guideline Development Group recommendations. Thirty-nine women of the second group additionally received a drug containing superoxide dismutase, resveratrol, and zinc. The control group included 30 healthy women. The state of lipid peroxidation processes was assessed by the level of diene conjugates and malondialdehyde in the blood serum and the antioxidant defense system by the content of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. To monitor the patients’ quality of life, pain syndrome was studied using the Visual Analogue Scale. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out by means of the standard StatSoft Statistica for Windows 13.0 program pac­kage. Results. The assessment of the pain syndrome in the second group showed that it completely disappeared in women with the first stage of the disease. Among patients with the second stage, pain disappeared in 8 cases, 3 patients had a decrease from severe to mild pain. At the third stage, pain disappeared completely in 5 women, in 4 cases, it decreased from severe to mild, and in one woman, the pain decreased from unbearable to mild. All patients of the second group noted a decrease in pain during intercourse, and in the first stage — its absence, an increase in work capacity (r = 0.64, p < 0.01), a decrease in irritability and anxiety in the perimenstrual period (r = –0.59, p < 0.05) and overall satisfaction with the treatment result. Side effects were not noted in any of the patients. Conclusions. Improving treatment for genital endometriosis by supplementing therapy with superoxide dismutase, resveratrol, and zinc is pathogenetically justified, as it has a significant positive effect on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system, compared to the traditional treatment regimen.
背景。生殖器子宫内膜异位症是现代妇科最紧迫的问题之一。考虑到氧化应激是子宫内膜异位症的致病环节,我们认为使用含有超氧化物歧化酶、白藜芦醇和锌的联合药物是合理的。这项工作的目的是在考虑到生殖器子宫内膜异位症的主要病理生理环节的基础上,评估使用超氧化物歧化酶、白藜芦醇和锌辅助治疗生殖器子宫内膜异位症的效果。材料和方法观察对象为 37 名患有生殖器子宫内膜异位症的育龄妇女。第一组按照指南制定小组的建议进行治疗。第二组的 39 名妇女额外服用了含有超氧化物歧化酶、白藜芦醇和锌的药物。对照组包括 30 名健康妇女。脂质过氧化过程的状况通过血清中二烯共轭物和丙二醛的含量进行评估,抗氧化防御系统则通过超氧化物歧化酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的含量进行评估。为了监测患者的生活质量,使用视觉模拟量表对疼痛综合征进行了研究。所得数据的统计处理采用标准的 StatSoft Statistica for Windows 13.0 程序包。结果对第二组患者疼痛综合征的评估结果显示,第一期妇女的疼痛综合征已完全消失。在第二阶段的患者中,8 例患者的疼痛消失,3 例患者的疼痛从重度减轻到轻度。在第三阶段,5 名妇女的疼痛完全消失,4 名妇女的疼痛从剧烈减轻到轻微,1 名妇女的疼痛从难以忍受减轻到轻微。第二组的所有患者都发现性交时的疼痛有所减轻,而在第一阶段则没有疼痛,工作能力有所提高(r = 0.64,p < 0.01),经期前后的烦躁和焦虑有所减轻(r = -0.59,p < 0.05),并对治疗效果总体满意。所有患者均未出现副作用。结论与传统治疗方案相比,通过补充超氧化物歧化酶、白藜芦醇和锌来改善生殖器子宫内膜异位症的治疗在病理学上是合理的,因为它对脂质过氧化和抗氧化防御系统有显著的积极作用。

Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic kidney disease are public health concerns worldwide due to their increasing prevalence, adverse prognosis, and health care burden. The purpose of the study was to determine the probable effect of a combination of metformin, rosuvastatin, essential phospholipids and quercetin on the blood lipids, endothelial function, fibrinolysis system and platelet hemostasis, which are factors for the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Materials and methods. Studies were performed on the dynamics of treatment in 60 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic kidney disease (stage I–III). Depending on the prescribed treatment at random, the examined patients were divided into 2 groups. Twenty-eight persons of the first group received a low-calorie diet with dietary restrictions, essential phospholipids, metformin hydrochloride, rosuvastatin. Thirty-two patients from the second group received quercetin in addition to similar dietary recommendations, essential phospholipids, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic therapy. The mean age of patients was 53.80 ± 3.52 years. The comparison group consisted of 30 healthy individuals of the corresponding age. Results. To evaluate the degree of endothelial-protective effect of quercetin on the background of the recommended protocol therapy, markers of endothelial dysfunction, fibrinolysis and platelet hemostasis were studied. NO content significantly reduced (1.7 times) in patients of group 2 before treatment, increased by 1.5 times (p < 0.05). This can be explained by the effect of quercetin, as well as the use of metformin, which reduces the degree of insulin resistance and the level of hyperlipidemia. Conclusions. The effectiveness of a combination therapy for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic kidney disease using essential phospholi­pids, statins and metformin with the addition of quercetin is higher than that of traditional therapy, as it significantly restores the functional state of the endothelium, eliminates the phenomena of hypercoagulation syndrome without the additional prescription of antiplatelet agents.
背景。非酒精性脂肪肝和慢性肾脏病的发病率、不良预后和医疗负担不断增加,是全球关注的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在确定二甲双胍、罗苏伐他汀、必需磷脂和槲皮素联合用药对血脂、血管内皮功能、纤溶系统和血小板止血的可能影响,这些因素是非酒精性脂肪性肝炎进展的诱因。材料和方法对 60 名患有非酒精性脂肪肝、2 型糖尿病和糖尿病肾病(I-III 期)的患者进行了治疗动态研究。根据处方治疗的随机性,受检患者被分为两组。第一组的 28 人接受低热量饮食和饮食限制、必需磷脂、盐酸二甲双胍、洛伐他汀。第二组的 32 名患者除了接受类似的饮食建议、必需磷脂、降血糖和降血脂治疗外,还接受了槲皮素治疗。患者的平均年龄为 53.80±3.52 岁。对比组包括 30 名相应年龄的健康人。结果为了评估槲皮素在推荐方案治疗背景下对内皮的保护作用,研究了内皮功能障碍、纤维蛋白溶解和血小板止血的指标。治疗前,第 2 组患者体内的 NO 含量明显减少(1.7 倍),而治疗后则增加了 1.5 倍(p < 0.05)。这可以用槲皮素的作用以及二甲双胍的使用来解释,二甲双胍能降低胰岛素抵抗程度和高脂血症水平。结论使用添加槲皮素的必需磷脂、他汀类药物和二甲双胍联合治疗非酒精性脂肪性肝炎和 2 型糖尿病合并糖尿病肾病的疗效高于传统疗法,因为它能显著恢复血管内皮的功能状态,消除高凝综合征现象,而无需额外处方抗血小板药物。

Background. Based on the results of epidemiological studies, it was found that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects men more often than women. Among COVID-19 complications, erectile dysfunction is considered a marker of endothelial dysfunction and one of the main factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Lower total and free testosterone levels are predictors of adverse prognosis in males with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Testosterone deficiency syndrome is considered an independent risk factor of cardiometabolic disorders. The purpose of the study is to investigate the state of erectile function in men who suffered from COVID-19 six months after recovery. Materials and methods. Seventy-two men suffering from COVID-19 and being treated in an infectious disease hospital were examined 6.90 ± 0.29 months after recovery. Their average age was 45.23 ± 3.01 years. The control group included 18 conditionally healthy men aged 43.18 ± 2.90 years. The state of erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). The concentration of testosterone was determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with DRG (Germany) and DiaMetra (Italy) kits. All measurements were performed on the Stat Fax 3200 analyzer. Statistical comparison of the obtained results between groups was performed according to the Student’s test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered to be signifi­cant. Results. In addition to erectile dysfunction, as evidenced by a reduced corresponding integrative indicator “erectile function” of IIEF-15 in men with COVID-19, a decrease in sexual desire was found, as well as a deterioration of sensations in the form of a decrease in ejaculation frequency and orgasmic sensations during sex contacts. The average serum level of total testosterone was 10.9 nmol/l and was significantly reduced compared to that in the control group. Analysis of individual indicators showed that testosterone level was decreased in 10 patients and was within the normal range in 13 men with COVID-19. The average serum concentration of total testosterone in the examined men after the disease was 10.73 ± 1.07 nmol/l and was significantly reduced compared to that of the control group. Conclusions. There was an erectile dysfunction in men who suffered COVID-19, it was confirmed by a probable decrease in IIEF-15 score and integrative indicators of erectile function. A significant decrease in the blood concentration of total testosterone was detected in the examined men, which may be one of the causes of erectile dysfunction. Large-scale prospective, randomized, controlled trials in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are needed to provide an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that cause erectile dysfunction.
背景。根据流行病学研究结果发现,冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)对男性的影响比女性更大。在COVID-19并发症中,勃起功能障碍被认为是内皮功能障碍的标志,也是心血管疾病发病的主要因素之一。总睾酮和游离睾酮水平较低是男性严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)患者预后不良的预测因素。睾酮缺乏综合征被认为是心脏代谢疾病的一个独立危险因素。本研究旨在调查 COVID-19 男性患者康复后六个月的勃起功能状况。材料和方法。在一家传染病医院接受治疗的 72 名 COVID-19 患者在康复 6.90 ± 0.29 个月后接受了检查。他们的平均年龄为 45.23 ± 3.01 岁。对照组包括 18 名条件健康的男性,年龄为 43.18 ± 2.90 岁。勃起功能状况采用国际勃起功能指数(IIEF)进行评估。睾酮浓度采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(德国 DRG 公司和意大利 DiaMetra 公司的试剂盒)进行测定。所有测量均在 Stat Fax 3200 分析仪上进行。组间结果的统计比较采用学生检验。P<0.05为差异显著。结果在患有 COVID-19 的男性中,除了勃起功能障碍(表现为 IIEF-15 中 "勃起功能 "的相应综合指标降低)外,还发现性欲下降,以及感觉恶化,表现为射精频率和性接触中的性高潮感觉降低。血清总睾酮的平均水平为 10.9 毫摩尔/升,与对照组相比明显降低。单项指标分析显示,10 名 COVID-19 患者的睾酮水平下降,13 名男性患者的睾酮水平在正常范围内。受检男性病后血清总睾酮的平均浓度为 10.73 ± 1.07 nmol/l,与对照组相比明显降低。结论患有COVID-19的男性存在勃起功能障碍,IIEF-15评分和勃起功能综合指标可能下降证实了这一点。受检男性血液中总睾酮浓度明显下降,这可能是导致勃起功能障碍的原因之一。需要对感染 SARS-CoV-2 的患者进行大规模的前瞻性、随机对照试验,以了解导致勃起功能障碍的分子机制。

Background. Cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure (HF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), pose a global health challenge. HFpEF is on the rise, especially among the elderly and those with conditions like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often coexists with HFpEF, and atrial fibrillation (AF) further complicates matters due to shared risk factors. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively investigate the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus on cardiac function and biomarker profiles in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation. Mate­rials and methods. This was a cohort, single-center study. Four hundred and forty-eight patients with HFpEF were examined. They were divided into 4 groups: group 1 — 189 patients with HFpEF alone; group 2 — 39 patients with HFpEF and T2DM; group 3 — 176 patients with HFpEF and atrial fibrillation; group 4 — 44 patients with HFpEF, AF, T2DM. Results. T2DM may contribute to a slightly older patient population in HFpEF, but age alone is not a primary discriminator. T2DM alone does not substantially impact left ventricular mass index but, when combined with AF, it does. T2DM is associated with an increased left atrial volume index, and AF intensifies this effect. T2DM influences diastolic function, with AF exacerbating it. T2DM affects left ventricular filling pressure, and AF worsens this in HFpEF. T2DM also influences left ventricular systolic function, further compromised when combined with AF in HFpEF patients. Galectin-3 levels are elevated in HFpEF patients with T2DM, further exacerba­ted with AF. NT-proBNP levels are influenced by T2DM and worsened with the combination of AF in HFpEF. SST2 levels are elevated in HFpEF patients with T2DM, further increased with AF, indicating myocardial fibrosis and adverse remodeling. Conclusions. The interaction between T2DM and AF in HFpEF patients creates a synergistic effect, resulting in significant cardiac structural and functional alterations. Novel biomarkers such as galectin-3, NT-proBNP, and sST2 emerge as valuable diagnostic tools, reflecting the complex pathophysiological processes in HFpEF.
背景。心血管疾病,包括心力衰竭(HF)和射血分数保留型心力衰竭(HFpEF),对全球健康构成了挑战。射血分数保留型心力衰竭呈上升趋势,尤其是在老年人和患有糖尿病、肥胖症和高血压等疾病的人群中。2 型糖尿病(T2DM)通常与 HFpEF 同时存在,而心房颤动(AF)由于具有共同的风险因素,使问题进一步复杂化。本研究旨在全面调查 2 型糖尿病对存在或不存在心房颤动的射血分数保留型心力衰竭患者的心脏功能和生物标志物特征的影响。材料和方法。这是一项队列单中心研究。共有 448 名射血分数保留型心力衰竭患者接受了研究。他们被分为 4 组:第 1 组--189 名仅患有高频心衰的患者;第 2 组--39 名患有高频心衰和 T2DM 的患者;第 3 组--176 名患有高频心衰和心房颤动的患者;第 4 组--44 名患有高频心衰、心房颤动和 T2DM 的患者。结果。T2DM可能导致HFpEF患者年龄稍大,但年龄本身并不是主要的判别因素。T2DM 本身不会对左心室质量指数产生重大影响,但如果合并房颤,则会产生重大影响。T2DM 与左心房容积指数增加有关,而房颤会加剧这种影响。T2DM 影响舒张功能,而房颤会加剧这种影响。T2DM 会影响左心室充盈压,而房颤会加重高房颤患者的左心室充盈压。T2DM 还影响左心室收缩功能,如果合并房颤,HFpEF 患者的左心室收缩功能会进一步受损。患有 T2DM 的 HFpEF 患者的 Galectin-3 水平升高,房颤会进一步加剧这一情况。NT-proBNP 水平受 T2DM 的影响,在 HFpEF 患者合并房颤时会进一步恶化。患有 T2DM 的 HFpEF 患者的 SST2 水平升高,房颤时进一步升高,表明心肌纤维化和不良重塑。结论T2DM和房颤在高频低氧血症患者中的相互作用产生了协同效应,导致心脏结构和功能发生显著改变。新的生物标记物,如 galectin-3、NT-proBNP 和 sST2 成为有价值的诊断工具,反映了 HFpEF 复杂的病理生理过程。

Background. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is one of the most effective and economically justified methods, which is recommended as the first-line treatment for patients with compression syndrome, a significant cosmetic defect, and those who categorically refuse surgery or have contraindications to it. The purpose of the study was to analyze the short-term outcomes of LITT in patients with euthyroid nodular goiter. Materials and methods. The results of LITT were analyzed in 20 patients with euthyroid nodular goiter, Bethesda category II, and solid echostructure for 2021–2023. The average volume of nodules was 0.67 (0.16; 1.39) cm3. Medical GaAlAs diode laser VELAS II-30F was used. The response of the nodules was classified as positive effect if volume reduction rate (VRR) was above 70 %, absent with VRR 69–0 %, negative effect with VRR < 0 %. The total follow-up ranged from 1 to 24 months. Results. A linear regression analysis revealed that shrinkage of the final nodule volume after the first session (0.37 (0.06; 0.9) cm3) statistically significantly depended on the initial volume (0.67 (0.16; 1.39) cm3), R2 = 0.955, p < 0.001. A positive effect was observed only in nodules up to 1.0 cm3 (average of 0.16 (0.085; 0.31) cm3). Statistically significant correlation was not found after the first session between the effect and the initial nodule volume (r = –0.163, p = 0.49). A linear regression analysis showed the absence of statistically significant correlation between the final nodule volume, final VRR, and laser characteristics (p > 0.05). The final nodule volume after the second session decreased statistically significantly vs. initial one (p = 0.007) and vs. the final volume after the first session (p = 0.028). There was no statistically significant difference between the frequency of effect in patients after single LITT and in those with two sessions (χ2 = 2.14, p = 0.34). A linear regression analysis did not show statistically significant causal relationship between these indicators (R2 = 0.27, p = 0.12). Conclusions. Laser interstitial thermal therapy is a safe method of organ-preserving treatment in patients with the euthyroid nodular goiter, which can be performed on an outpatient basis and does not lead to thyroid dysfunction. LITT is the most effective with a volume nodule of up to 1.0 cm3. The use of LITT in nodules larger than 1.0 cm3 does not meet the criteria of technical “success” but this does not necessarily indicate the overall ineffectiveness since the sample volume was insufficient. For greater validity, a study should be conducted on a larger sample of patients, which will allow reliably assessing the effectiveness of the method and determining clear criteria of selecting patients for this intervention. The study is still in progress.
背景。激光间质热疗(LITT)是最有效、最经济合理的方法之一,被推荐作为压迫综合征、明显外观缺陷以及明确拒绝手术或有手术禁忌症的患者的一线治疗方法。本研究旨在分析 LITT 对甲状腺结节性甲状腺肿患者的短期疗效。材料和方法。分析了20名甲状腺结节性甲状腺肿患者的LITT结果,这些患者均为贝塞斯达II类甲状腺肿,回声结构为实性,治疗时间为2021-2023年。结节的平均体积为 0.67 (0.16; 1.39) cm3。使用医用砷化镓二极管激光器 VELAS II-30F。如果体积缩小率(VRR)高于 70%,结节的反应被归类为阳性反应;如果体积缩小率为 69-0%,则为无效反应;如果体积缩小率小于 0%,则为阴性反应。随访时间从 1 个月到 24 个月不等。结果线性回归分析显示,第一次治疗后最终结节体积的缩小(0.37 (0.06; 0.9) cm3)在统计学上显著取决于初始体积(0.67 (0.16; 1.39) cm3),R2 = 0.955,P < 0.001。只有在 1.0 cm3 以下的结节(平均 0.16 (0.085; 0.31) cm3)中才观察到正效应。在第一个疗程后,没有发现疗效与初始结节体积之间有统计学意义的相关性(r = -0.163,p = 0.49)。线性回归分析表明,最终结节体积、最终 VRR 和激光特性之间没有统计学意义上的显著相关性(p > 0.05)。第二次治疗后的最终结节体积与第一次治疗后的最终结节体积相比(p = 0.007)和与第一次治疗后的最终结节体积相比(p = 0.028)均有明显的统计学差异。单次 LITT 患者和两次 LITT 患者的疗效频率差异无统计学意义(χ2 = 2.14,p = 0.34)。线性回归分析并未显示这些指标之间存在统计学意义上的因果关系(R2 = 0.27,P = 0.12)。结论激光间质热疗是对甲状腺结节性甲状腺肿患者进行器官保留治疗的一种安全方法,可在门诊进行,且不会导致甲状腺功能障碍。LITT 对体积不超过 1.0 立方厘米的结节最为有效。在大于 1.0 立方厘米的结节中使用 LITT 并不符合技术 "成功 "的标准,但这并不一定表明总体无效,因为样本量不足。为了提高有效性,应该对更多的患者样本进行研究,这样才能可靠地评估该方法的有效性,并确定选择患者进行这种干预的明确标准。这项研究仍在进行中。

Chronic adrenal insufficiency is an endocrine disease caused by insufficient secretion of adrenal hormones due to dysfunction of one or more links of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The highest prevalence has been documented in Scandinavian countries: 15–22 people per 100,000 population, while other European countries report 10 cases per 100,000 population. Autoimmune adrenalitis is the most common cause of primary adrenal insufficiency in adults, and it can be either alone (40 %) or a component of autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (60 %). The etiologic factors of primary adrenal insufficiency include tuberculosis or AIDS. These causes of adrenal cortical insufficiency are particularly relevant in Ukraine. The article describes a clinical case of a patient with both primary adrenal insufficiency and Werlhof’s disease. The prevalence of adrenal insufficiency and etiologic factors of primary adrenal insufficiency are highlighted. A detailed differential diagnosis of primary adrenal insufficiency with other diseases that could cause clinical symptoms such as hypoglycemic states, severe weight loss, hypotension, severe muscle weakness, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia is performed. The basic principles of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in primary adrenal insufficiency are discussed. Despite typical, specific manifestations of adrenal insufficiency, diagnosis in real clinical practice is difficult. Awareness and vigilance of doctors regarding the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency is necessary. Late detection of chronic adrenal insufficiency can lead to complications. Timely diagnosis and treatment of chronic adrenal insufficiency improves disease prognosis and quality of life.
慢性肾上腺功能不全是一种内分泌疾病,由于下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴的一个或多个环节功能失调,导致肾上腺激素分泌不足。斯堪的纳维亚国家的发病率最高:斯堪的纳维亚国家的发病率最高:每 10 万人中有 15-22 例,而其他欧洲国家报告的发病率为每 10 万人中有 10 例。自身免疫性肾上腺炎是导致成人原发性肾上腺功能不全的最常见原因,它既可以单独发病(40%),也可以是自身免疫性多腺综合征的一个组成部分(60%)。原发性肾上腺功能不全的病因包括结核病或艾滋病。这些肾上腺皮质功能不全的病因在乌克兰尤为常见。文章描述了一名同时患有原发性肾上腺功能不全和韦尔霍夫病的患者的临床病例。文章强调了肾上腺功能不全的发病率和原发性肾上腺功能不全的病因。详细介绍了原发性肾上腺功能不全与其他可能引起低血糖状态、严重消瘦、低血压、重症肌无力、低钠血症、高钾血症等临床症状的疾病的鉴别诊断。讨论了原发性肾上腺功能不全的诊断、治疗和预后的基本原则。尽管肾上腺功能不全具有典型、特殊的表现,但在实际临床实践中却很难诊断。医生对肾上腺功能不全症状的认识和警惕是必要的。慢性肾上腺功能不全发现过晚可能导致并发症。及时诊断和治疗慢性肾上腺功能不全可改善疾病预后和生活质量。

Background. Given the proven excessive activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the clinical manifestations of hypertension, mostly of renal origin, there is a need to optimize antihypertensive therapy aimed at an active nephroprotection. The purpose of the study is to carry out a comprehensive assessment of kidney and heart risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to justify the administration of non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to these patients. Materials and methods. In a prospective cohort study, 88 patients with type 2 diabetes were examined: group 1 — estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/m2, group 2 — eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2. eGFR was evaluated according to the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Colla­boration) formula based on serum creatinine. GFR category was defined according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria. The albumin-creatinine ratio was calcula­ted. The level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was assessed by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography. Aldosterone was evaluated by immunoenzymatic method. Results. In patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2, the albumin-creatinine ratio in daily urine is statistically significantly higher compared to group 2. Patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2 had an average uric acid level of 410.3 ± 98.8 μmol/l, which is statistically significantly higher than in those with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2 — 321.10 ± 74.54 μmol/l. A statistically significant correlation between the level of uric acid and markers of renal dysfunction was found only in patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2. Aldosterone levels were higher in the first group. No statistical difference was found between the average value of HbA1c in the studied groups. Conclusions. Numerous factors of unfavorable prognosis regarding kidney and heart risks have been identified: hypertension, increased albumin-creatinine ratio and cholesterol, unsatisfactory compensation of diabetes, obesity. There is an increase in the frequency of resistant hypertension, hyperuricemia, and hyperaldosteronism in patients with decreased eGFR. In patients with diabetic kidney damage on the background of type 2 diabetes, the administration of finerenone, a non-steroidal mine­ralocorticoid receptor antagonist, at a dose of 10–20 mg/day is pathogenetically justified.
背景。鉴于肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统已被证实过度激活,且高血压的临床表现大多源于肾脏,因此有必要优化降压治疗,以积极保护肾脏。本研究旨在对 2 型糖尿病和慢性肾脏病(CKD)患者的肾脏和心脏风险因素进行全面评估,并为这些患者使用非甾体类矿物质皮质激素受体拮抗剂提供依据。材料和方法。在一项前瞻性队列研究中,88 名 2 型糖尿病患者接受了检查:第 1 组--估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)< 60 ml/min/m2;第 2 组--eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2。eGFR 根据基于血清肌酐的 CKD-EPI(慢性肾脏病流行病学协作组)公式进行评估。GFR 类别是根据 KDIGO(肾脏疾病:改善全球预后)标准定义的。计算白蛋白-肌酐比值。糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平采用高效液相色谱法进行评估。醛固酮采用免疫酶法进行评估。结果显示在 eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2 的患者中,每日尿液中的白蛋白-肌酐比值在统计学上明显高于第 2 组。eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2 患者的平均尿酸水平为 410.3 ± 98.8 μmol/l,在统计学上明显高于 eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2 的患者 - 321.10 ± 74.54 μmol/l。只有在 eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2 的患者中,尿酸水平与肾功能障碍指标之间才存在统计学意义上的明显相关性。第一组患者的醛固酮水平较高。研究组的 HbA1c 平均值之间没有统计学差异。结论在肾脏和心脏风险方面发现了许多不利预后的因素:高血压、白蛋白-肌酐比值和胆固醇升高、糖尿病补偿效果不理想、肥胖。抵抗性高血压、高尿酸血症和高醛固酮症在 eGFR 下降的患者中出现的频率增加。对于在 2 型糖尿病背景下出现糖尿病肾损害的患者,非甾体类矿物质皮质激素受体拮抗剂非格列酮(fineerenone)的用药剂量为 10-20 毫克/天,在病理上是合理的。

The purpose of the study is to carry out a comprehensive assessment of kidney and heart risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to justify the administration of non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to these patients. Materials and methods. In a prospective cohort study, 88 patients with type 2 diabetes were examined: group 1 — estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/m2, group 2 — eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2. eGFR was evaluated according to the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Colla­boration) formula based on serum creatinine. GFR category was defined according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria. The albumin-creatinine ratio was calcula­ted. The level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was assessed by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography. Aldosterone was evaluated by immunoenzymatic method. Results. In patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2, the albumin-creatinine ratio in daily urine is statistically significantly higher compared to group 2. Patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2 had an average uric acid level of 410.3 ± 98.8 μmol/l, which is statistically significantly higher than in those with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/m2 — 321.10 ± 74.54 μmol/l. A statistically significant correlation between the level of uric acid and markers of renal dysfunction was found only in patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/m2. Aldosterone levels were higher in the first group. No statistical difference was found between the average value of HbA1c in the studied groups. Conclusions. Numerous factors of unfavorable prognosis regarding kidney and heart risks have been identified: hypertension, increased albumin-creatinine ratio and cholesterol, unsatisfactory compensation of diabetes, obesity. There is an increase in the frequency of resistant hypertension, hyperuricemia, and hyperaldosteronism in patients with decreased eGFR. In patients with diabetic kidney damage on the background of type 2 diabetes, the administration of finerenone, a non-steroidal mine­ralocorticoid receptor antagonist, at a dose of 10–20 mg/day is pathogenetically justified.","PeriodicalId":13962,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY (Ukraine)","volume":"17 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background. In patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a small but statistically significant decrease in absolute number of natural killer (NK) cells (CD56+) in the peripheral blood (PB) was found, especially pronounced with concomitant obesity. In connection with the above, one of the main aims of the present report was to further study the role of NK cells in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, including those with obesity. For this purpose, a combination of flow cytometry methods with scanning and transmission electron microscopy was used to determine the number and function of CD56+ cells in the PB of patients with T2DM. Materials and methods. We examined 144 patients of both sexes with newly diagnosed T2DM aged 40–70 years who had no other acute or chronic diseases and had not previously taken any hypoglycemic drugs. The control group consisted of 50 healthy individuals with normoglycemia aged 40–65 years who had not COVID-19 disease. Results. Our studies have found that in untreated patients with newly diagnosed T2DM compared to healthy controls, there is a very small statistically significant decrease in the absolute number of CD56+ cells in the PB. When combining flow cytometry (FACS method), transmission and scanning electron microscopy in patients with T2DM, a significant change in the ultrastructure of CD56+ cells was revealed, indicating a decrease in their function (an increase in the number of cells with a smoother surface of the cell membrane, a sharp decrease in the number of azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm considered the main producer of cytokines and perforins, the appearance of parallel tubular structures, biomarkers of decreased cell function, a disruption of the Golgi apparatus structure, granular endoplasmic reticulum, etc.). The data obtained indicate that at the initial stage of T2DM development in humans, there is a pronounced weakening in the function of NK cells and, consequently, the natural immune defense of the body and explain the increased susceptibility of diabetics to various viruses and infections, including COVID-19, and also more severe clinical course and increased mortality. Conclusions. The conducted studies show that in patients with T2DM who are at the initial stage of T2DM, there is a sharp disturbance in the submicroscopic organization of CD56+ cells, the most important cellular element of natural immunity, which suggests a weakening of the function of natural immune defense. It is the main cause of increased sensitivity of diabetic patients to infection with various pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-2, as well as more severe clinical course and increased mortality rate.
背景。在新诊断的 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者中,发现外周血(PB)中自然杀伤(NK)细胞(CD56+)的绝对数量有少量下降,但在统计学上有显著意义,尤其是伴有肥胖的患者。有鉴于此,本报告的主要目的之一是进一步研究 NK 细胞在新诊断的 T2DM 患者(包括肥胖患者)中的作用。为此,本研究采用流式细胞术与扫描和透射电子显微镜相结合的方法来确定 T2DM 患者血浆中 CD56+ 细胞的数量和功能。材料和方法我们对 144 名年龄在 40-70 岁、新诊断为 T2DM 的男女患者进行了检查,这些患者没有其他急性或慢性疾病,之前也未服用过任何降糖药物。对照组由 50 名 40-65 岁、血糖正常且未患 COVID-19 疾病的健康人组成。研究结果我们的研究发现,与健康对照组相比,未经治疗的新诊断 T2DM 患者血浆中 CD56+ 细胞的绝对数量有非常小的统计学意义的下降。结合流式细胞术(FACS 法)、透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜观察 T2DM 患者,发现 CD56+ 细胞的超微结构发生了显著变化,表明其功能下降(细胞膜表面更光滑的细胞数量增加、细胞质中被认为是细胞因子和穿孔素主要生产者的嗜氮颗粒数量急剧减少、平行管状结构出现、细胞功能下降的生物标志物、高尔基体结构破坏、颗粒状内质网等)。).获得的数据表明,在人类 T2DM 发展的初期阶段,NK 细胞的功能明显减弱,因此机体的天然免疫防御功能也随之减弱,这也解释了为什么糖尿病患者对各种病毒和感染(包括 COVID-19)的易感性增加,临床病程更严重,死亡率增加。结论研究表明,处于 T2DM 初期阶段的 T2DM 患者,其天然免疫最重要的细胞元素--CD56+ 细胞的亚显微组织急剧紊乱,这表明天然免疫防御功能减弱。这是糖尿病患者对包括 SARS-CoV-2 在内的各种病原体感染的敏感性增加、临床病程更严重和死亡率增加的主要原因。
