Prolactinomas are the most common secreting adenomas of the pituitary. In 20% of cases resistance to dopamine-agonists treatment is observed. Medical therapy resistance causes progression of pathological symptoms of hyperprolactinemia and negative topographic and anatomical changes of prolactinoma. The causes of ineffectiveness of dopamine agonists therapy are not fully understood as well as approaches to managing patients require clarification. Current concepts of resistance are based on the data obtained as a result of surgery or after a period of long-term ineffective therapy. Thus, it is very important to find methods of assessing the sensitivity of prolactin-secreting adenomas to drug therapy before surgical treatment. Genetic and immunohistochemical studies find special place among these methods, making it possible to predict adenoma's response to drug therapy at early diagnostic stage. Obtained results will allow us to form personalized algorithm for managing patients.

Background: Sporadic multiple parathyroid gland disease is ¼ cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). However, a single tactic for diagnosing and operating volume in patients with this variant of PHPT has not yet been developed. One of the possible directions in the search for pathogenetically substantiated methods of diagnosis and treatment is the study of the molecular genetic features of the disease and associated clinical and laboratory factors.
Aim: To study the features of the expression of calcium sensitive (CaSR) and vitamin D (VDR) receptors on the surface of parathyroid cells in primary hyperparathyroidism with solitary and multiple lesions of the parathyroid glands, as well as its changes under the influence of a decrease in the filtration function of the kidneys.
Materials and methods: In a single center observational prospective study with retrospective data collection, there were patients who during 2019-2021. operated on for PHPT, secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and all cases of tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) operated during 2014-2021. The expression of CaSR, VDR and its relationship with the main laboratory parameters, the clinical variant of hyperparathyroidism, and the morphological substrate were studied.
Results: The study included 69 patients: 19 with multiple and 25 with solitary PTG near PHPT, 15 with SHPT, 10 with THPT. A statistically significant decrease in the frequency of detection of normal expression of CaSR and VDR receptors occurs in any morphological variant of hyperparathyroidism and is observed in 93-60% of drugs. A decrease in the normal expression of CaSR in hyperplasia is detected statistically significantly less frequently than in adenoma (p≤0.01). The median expression intensity in adenoma was 2.5 (2:3), in hyperplasia 3.5 (3-4) (p≤0.01). The difference in the molecular mechanisms of the development of hyperparathyroidism with a predominance of a morphological substrate in the form of adenoma (PHPT with solitary adenoma) or hyperplasia (SHPT and PHPT with multiple PTG lesions) is realized in the frequency of maintaining normal CaSR expression in the PTG tissue. These mechanisms are implemented at the local level, their variability does not change under the influence of RRT. A common molecular genetic mechanism for the development of hyperparathyroidism with a predominance of a morphological substrate in the form of adenoma or hyperplasia has been found to reduce the frequency of maintaining normal VDR expression in PTG (up to 7-13%), p<0.01. This mechanism is implemented at the local level, its variability changes under the influence of RRT, reaching statistically significant differences in patients with THPT.
Conclusion: The study demonstrates the features of changes in the expression of CaSR and VDR in PHPT with multiple lesions of the parathyroid glands. The relationship betwee

Background: The diagnostic value of calcitonin measurement in fine-needle aspiration biopsy wash-out fluid is a promising tool in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer.
Aims: We assessed the potential usefulness and the diagnostic significance of Ct-FNAB alone in comparison with cytology in the diagnosis and localization of primary or metastatic MTC.
Materials and methods: For this purpose, we retrospectively examined data from 67 patients with suspicious thyroid nodules and/or lymph nodes who ultimately underwent surgical treatment at the Endocrinology Research Centre in 2015-2020. The primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Ct-FNAB when compared to cytological examination. The secondary endpoint was to determine the optimal diagnostic level for use in clinical practice.
Results: The obtained results showed that high Ct-FNAB concentrations were present in all histologically proven MTC, either in thyroid gland (sensitivity 92.5%, specificity 100%) or neck masses (sensitivity 88.5%, specificity 100%). The optimal diagnostic threshold for Ct-FNAB values from thyroid nodes was > 122 pg/ml, from lymph nodes >35.8 pg/ml.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Ct-FNAB is a highly reliable diagnostic procedure to identify primary and recurrent/metastatic MTC. The actual relevance of this technique in the management of MTC needs further longitudinal studies in a larger number of patients.

Background: One of the most dangerous reproductive pathologies is primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). Except manifestation in the age <40 years old it leads to demographical losses, decrease of chances for healthy aging. POI can be characterized as summary of secondary amenorrhea, total estrogenic deficiency and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Hence, POI has probably harmful effect on telomere length. Telomere length determining and sex steroid replacement therapy may be promising and effective to prevent decrease of life quality/ longevity among females with POI.
Aim: To evaluate features of replicative (telomere length) and biochemical (metabolic syndrome) markers among females with primary ovarian insufficiency.
Materials and methods: Research has been provided in collaboration between Endocrinology Research Centre of the Russian Ministry of Health and Lomonosov Moscow State University Medical Research and Educational Centre in the period since 10.01.2021 until 01.08.2022. Females with non-iatrogenic hypergonadotropic hypogonadism caused by primary ovarian insufficiency (n=33); healthy females of reproductive age (18-49 y.o.; n=24). Patients have undergone laboratory genetic (leucocyte telomere length), biochemical analyses. DNA extraction - with Qiagen DNA blood mini kit (Germany).Leukocyte telomere length - with real-time polymerase chain reaction PCR (Flow-fish). Soft program IBM SPSS Statistics (version 26,0 for Windows).
Results: Females with POI due to estrogenic deficiency have slightly shorter mean telomere length (10,0 [7,9-10,7] kB, than healthy females of reproductive age (10,8 [10,0-13,1] кБ, р<0,001). Females with POI due to estrogenic deficiency have higher chances for development of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances (prediabetes) (р<0,043), increasement of FSH level (р<0,001). FSH level correlates moderately and negatively (ρ=0,434) with leukocyte telomere length (р<0,001).
Conclusions: Female with POI and receiving sex steroid replacement therapy have decrease of telomere length and increase of chances for carbohydrate metabolism disturbances in opposite to healthy reproductive females.

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI, arginine vasopressin resistance) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by insensitivity of the kidney to the antidiuretic effect of vasopressin. NDI is clinically characterized by polyuria with hyposthenuria and nocturia and polydipsia. In the majority of cases, about 90%, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the AVP V2 receptor gene (AVPR2). In the remaining cases, about 10%, the disease is autosomal recessive or dominant and, for these patients, mutations in the aquaporin 2 gene (AQP2) have been reported. To date, the nucleotide variants registered in AQP2 were sporadic, there is no data on the presence of «frequent» mutations and the prevalence of the disease both among the global population and among individual ethnic groups. In this paper, we describe 12 cases of arginine vasopressin resistance caused by a new homozygous mutation p.R113C in AQP2 presented among the indigenous population of the Republic of Buryatia.

Background: The projected 68% increase in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in the upcoming decades and the specific pathophysiological course of the disease are critical factors for the development of optimal disease management tactics in the Asian population. It is now known that β-cell dysfunction is dominant in the pathogenesis of T2D in Asians. In a number of Asian countries, incretin therapy is the leading therapy.
Aim: To review literature on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and clinical trial results of GLP-1 receptor agonist class (GLP-1RA) drugs as well as to evaluate their effectiveness in Asian population with T2D.
Materials and methods: A review of studies on pathophysiological aspects of GLP-1 secretion and evaluation of the efficacy of therapy with GLP-1RA preparations registered and used in clinical practice in Asian regions.
Results: Several studies in Asian countries have shown that intact GLP-1 levels were significantly lower in both T2D patients and healthy Japanese volunteers; as well as in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. It is suggested that either impaired secretion of GLP-1 in the gut, accelerated processing by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, or a combination of both are responsible for the decrease in GLP-1. The greater efficacy of GLP-1RA treatment in achieving glycemic control in Asian T2D patients was presented by Kim Y.G. et al. in a meta-analysis of 15 randomised controlled trials, the reduction in HbA1c on GLP-1RA treatment averaged -1.16% in Asian-dominated studies and -0.83% in non-Asian-dominated studies. In the PIONEER 9 clinical programme, similar results were obtained, with oral semaglutide having a more pronounced effect on glycaemic control in Japanese patients. Thus, the mean change in HbA 1c was -1.1%, 7 mg -1.5%, and 14 mg -1.7% at the 3 mg dose; whereas in the PIONEER 1 study in the global population, the mean change in HbA1c was -0.6%, -0.9% and -1.1% for 3, 7, 14 mg semaglutide, respectively. The PIONEER 10 study concluded that oral semaglutide was well tolerated by Japanese patients with T2D. Oral semaglutide reduced HbA1c (14 mg dose) and body weight (7 and 14 mg doses) more significantly compared to dulaglutide at 0.75 mg dose. Results of a pooled analysis of long-acting GLP-1RA showed a more significant reduction in cardiovascular event risk in the Asian subpopulation.
Conclusion: The presented review describes benefits in glycemic control as well as in the reduction of relative cardiovascular event risks with GLP-1RA treatment in the Asian population, which requires further in-depth research and implies optimal management tactics in patients with T2DM.

Acromegaly is a multifactorial neuroendocrine disease caused by hyperproduction of growth hormone (GH). In more than 95% of cases the reason of acromegaly the GH-secreting pituitary adenoma. In patients with this neuroendocrine disease, a slowly developing complex of symptom can manifest with concomitant pathological conditions, including auditory function disordersDiagnostic difficulties of acromegaly at the ambulatory stage determine the importance of doctor`s awareness in different medical specialties.Here we demonstrate a clinical case of the improvement of the auditory function due to combined surgical and medical treatment of a patient with the pituitary macroadenoma, acromegaly and hearing loss.Anamnesis features: a patient with an active stage of acromegaly and a pituitary macroadenoma measuring 57x35x32 mm with ante-, supra-, infra-, parasellar spread, (Knosp III(D), Knosp IV(S) noted a violation of auditory function. She was consulted by an otolaryngologist, sensorineural hearing loss on the right of the 3rd degree was diagnosed, on the left of the 1st degree. The patient underwent surgical treatment of pituitary adenoma, noted a significant improvement in auditory function in the early postoperative period. Six months later, repeated audiometry was performed, marked regression of hearing damage was noted.The case described by us indicates the reversibility of a rare complication of acromegaly - hearing loss and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the management of patients with this pathology.

Aim: To reveal the peculiarities of steroidogenesis and arterial hypertension in «physiological» hyperandrogenism in men.
Materials and methods: One-stage simultaneous study. The groups of men with hyperandrogenism caused by increased total testosterone (n=34) and those with hyperandrogenism caused by increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (n=66) were compared. In determining the type of hyperandrogenism and allocating patients to groups, DHT and total testosterone levels were determined by enhanced chemiluminescence. Subgroups of men with and without arterial hypertension were compared in the group of patients with hyperandrogenism due to an increase in total testosterone. Body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, and LH, SBHG, estradiol, blood multisteroid levels by isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, glucose, blood lipid spectrum, uric acid, creatinine, renin, potassium, sodium, and blood chloride were assessed in all patients. Patients with arterial hypertension additionally underwent daily BP monitoring, albuminuria assessment, electrocardiography, ocular fundus examination. The baseline threshold level of significance was p<0.05. For multiple comparisons, the p significance level was calculated using the Bonferroni correction.
Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the levels of 17-hydroxypregnenolone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and androstenedione, which were higher in men with elevated levels of total testosterone. No statistically significant differences in other laboratory parameters were found. No cases of increased blood pressure were detected in the group of men with elevated DHT. In the group of men with elevated total testosterone, 23,5% of men with arterial hypertension without targetorgan lesions were identified, while hyperandrogenism was associated with 17,6% of cases. Arterial hypertension associated with hyperandrogenism was characterized by a rise in blood pressure in the early morning hours. Estradiol levels, while remaining within normal limits, were statistically significantly lower in patients with arterial hypertension compared with men with elevated testosterone but without hypertension.
Conclusion: No cases of arterial hypertension were observed in «physiological» hyperandrogenism due to elevated DHT levels, whereas its incidence in «physiological» hyperandrogenism due to elevated total testosterone was 23,5%. The features of steroidogenesis were increased production of 17-hydroxypregnenolone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and androstenedione in men with testosterone hyperandrogenism and decreased estradiol production in patients with arterial hypertension compared with patients without testosterone hyperandrogenism.

Currently, the treatment of pituitary adenomas is inextricably linked with transsphenoidal neurosurgical intervention. Modern technologies used in surgery for this pituitary pathology, such as endoscopy using angled optics, as well as the use of specialized instruments, sealing and hemostatic materials, increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas and reduce the incidence of intraand postoperative complications. The development of radiation methods of diagnostics, such as MRI, makes it possible to more accurately identify the formation of the pituitary gland, assess its size, direction of growth, and the degree of invasion of surrounding tissues. The authors of the article described in detail the modern technique of transsphenoidal removal of pituitary adenoma using an endoscope. Each stage of the operation is described step by step, taking into account various anatomical features and illustrated. This article discusses the MRI characteristics of pituitary adenomas: size of the tumor, the direction of its growth, the degree of invasion of the cavernous sinuses, the compression effect on the structures of the chiasmal-sellar region. The use of treatment methods, knowledge of the features of MRI diagnostics described in this article greatly increase the effectiveness of the treatment of patients with pituitary adenomas and reduce the risk of complications after neurosurgical intervention in such patients.
