Aim: present clinical guidelines, aimed at general practitioners, gastroenterologists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, comprise up-to-date methods of diagnosis and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Key points. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the most wide-spread chronic liver disease, is characterized by accumulation of fat by more than 5 % of hepatocytes and presented by two histological forms: steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Clinical guidelines provide current views on pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a multisystem disease, methods of invasive and noninvasive diagnosis of steatosis and liver fibrosis, principles of nondrug treatment and pharmacotherapy of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and associated conditions. Complications of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease include aggravation of cardiometabolic risks, development of hepatocellular cancer, progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhotic stage.Conclusion. Progression of liver disease can be avoided, cardiometabolic risks can be reduced and patients' prognosis — improved by the timely recognition of diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and associated comorbidities and competent multidisciplinary management of these patients.

Aim: to review the common risk factors and links in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) to optimize therapy of patients with a combination of multiple FGID.Key points. FGID occurs in more than 40 % of people globally, mainly affecting the working-age population in young and middle-aged subjects. At the same time, more than 30 % of patients have a combination of 2 or more functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders i.e. overlap syndrome. Common links in the pathogenesis of FGID include disorders of gut-brain interaction, visceral hypersensitivity, changes in intestinal microbiota, overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, impaired epithelial permeability and motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract. The combination of FGID in various gastrointestinal segments is associated with more pronounced clinical symptoms (mutual burden syndrome). Common risk factors and pathogenetic links of the functional disorders enables reducing the number of prescribed medications when several FGIDs overlap in one patient, which also increases adherence to therapy. Treatment of FGID includes adjustment of risk factors and drug therapy. As a pathogenetically justified pharmacotherapy of overlap syndrome, Kolofort, highly diluted antibodies to TNF-α, histamine and brain-specific protein S-100, is of interest.Conclusion. Kolofort has demonstrated high efficacy and safety including among patients with overlap FGID enabling to consider it as the treatment of choice in these patients.

Aim: to study fatty acid levels in erythrocyte membranes (RBC) and blood serum (BS) in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) to develop differential diagnostic models including fatty acids as biomarkers to distinguish between nosological entities of IBDs (ulcerative colitis — UC, Crohn's disease — CD, unclassified colitis — UCC).Materials and methods. We examined 110 patients (mean age 37,7 ± 12,1 years) with IBDs and 53 healthy patients in control group (43,3 ± 11,7 years). The IBDs group included 50 patients with UC, 41 patients with CD, 19 patients with UCC. An exacerbation of the disease was revealed in 42 patients (84 %) with UC, 34 patients with CD (82.9 %) and 11 people with UCC (57.9 %). The study of fatty acids (FA) composition of RBC membranes and BS was carried out using GC/MS system based on three Agilent 7000B quadrupoles (USA).Results. The most significant for distinguishing active UC from CD exacerbation were serum levels of elaidin (p = 0.0006); docosatetraenoic (n-6) (p = 0.004); docodienic (n-6) (p = 0.009); omega-3/omega-6 ratio (p = 0.02); docosapentaenoic (n-3) (p = 0.03); the sum of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic (p = 0.03), as well as the content of RBC lauric FA (p = 0.04) (AUC — 0.89, sensitivity — 0.91, specificity — 0.89, diagnostic accuracy — 0.91). To distinguish active UC from the same of UCC, the following serum FA were found to be significant: alpha-linolenic; saturated (pentadecanoic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic); monounsaturated (palmitoleic, oleic); omega-6 (hexadecadienic, arachidonic) (p = 0.00000011—0.03300000) (AUC — 0.995, sensitivity — 0.98, specificity — 0.96, diagnostic accuracy — 0.97). The most significant in distinguishing patients with active CD from UCC exacerbation were levels of the following FA: alpha-linolenic; palmitoleic; oleic; the amount of saturated fatty acids (SFA); total unsaturated fatty acids (UFA); stearic; monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) amount; SFA/UFA; SFA/PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids); linoleic; total PUFA n6; lauric; arachidic acid (p = 0.0000000017–0.030000000) (AUC — 0.914, sensitivity — 0.90, specificity — 0.87, diagnostic accuracy — 0.91).Conclusion. The study of FA levels in groups with different nosological forms of IBDs using complex statistical analysis, including machine learning methods, made it possible to create diagnostic models that differentiate CD, UC and UCC in the acute stage with high accuracy. The proposed approach is promising for the purposes of differential diagnosis of nosological forms of IBDs.

Aim. To determine lenvatinib treatment outcomes in patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) in real clinical practice.Patients and methods. A multicenter retrospective observational study included 58 patients with a confirmed uHCC diagnosis receiving lenvatinib. At baseline, ECOG, Child-Pugh and BCLC scores were assessed. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median overall survival (OS) and median progression-free survival (PFS) rates were assessed. In addition, adverse effects (AE) during treatment were monitored.Results. The median OS and PFS comprised 14.6 (95 % CI 10.6–18.6) and 11.1 months (95 % CI 8.31–13.8), respectively. The ORR amounted to 32.8 %, while DCR reached the level of 79.3 %. The levels of ORR and DCR were not statistically significantly different between the patients with stages B and C according to the BCLC staging system, with grades 0 and 1 according to ECOG, with classes A and B according to the Child-Pugh score, with viral and non-viral HCC etiology, with and without extrahepatic spread, and with and without portal vein invasion. Patients with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood levels <200 ng/mL showed significantly higher ORR and DCR compared to those with AFP levels >200 ng/mL (44.4 % vs. 13.6 %, p = 0.015; and 88.9 % vs. 63.6 %, p = 0.021, respectively). The uHCC stage according to BCLC, ECOG functional status, Child-Pugh class, presence or absence of extrahepatic spread and viral etiology had no effect on the OS and PFS median levels. Patients with macroscopic portal vein invasion had a significantly lower PFS compared with those lacking this complication: 3.97 (0.00-8.07) vs. 11.1 (8.46-13.7), p = 0.053. AFP levels ≥200 ng/mL adversely affected survival rates: median OS comprised 12.0 (5.95-18.9) months in the group of patients with AFP ≥200 ng/mL vs. 16.1 (8.73-23.5) months in the group of patients having AFP <200 ng/mL, p = 0.020. AEs were registered in 81.0% (n = 47) of patients. Among the most common AEs were arterial hypertension (32.8 %), weakness (24.1 %), weight loss (12.1 %) and appetite loss (10.3 %). Due to AEs, Lenvatinib was withdrawn in 5 (8.6 %) patients.Conclusion. Lenvatinib confirmed its efficacy and safety in patients with uHCC in real clinical practice. The treatment outcome might be affected by AFP levels and the presence of macroscopic portal vein invasion. Further comparative studies into treatment regimens applied in real clinical practice are required.
的目标。目的:探讨lenvatinib治疗晚期不可切除肝细胞癌(uHCC)的临床效果。患者和方法。一项多中心回顾性观察研究纳入了58例确诊为肝癌的患者,接受lenvatinib治疗。基线时,评估ECOG、Child-Pugh和BCLC评分。评估客观缓解率(ORR)、疾病控制率(DCR)、中位总生存期(OS)和中位无进展生存期(PFS)。同时对治疗过程中的不良反应(AE)进行监测。中位OS和PFS分别为14.6个月(95% CI 10.6-18.6)和11.1个月(95% CI 8.31-13.8)。ORR为32.8%,DCR为79.3%。BCLC分期系统B期和C期、ECOG 0级和1级、Child-Pugh评分A级和B级、病毒性和非病毒性HCC病因、有无肝外扩散、有无门静脉侵犯患者的ORR和DCR水平差异无统计学意义。甲胎蛋白(AFP)血药浓度为200 ng/mL的患者(44.4% vs 13.6%, p = 0.015;88.9% vs. 63.6%, p = 0.021)。根据BCLC、ECOG功能状态、Child-Pugh分级、是否存在肝外扩散和病毒病因确定的uHCC分期对OS和PFS中位水平没有影响。有宏观门静脉侵犯的患者PFS明显低于无此并发症的患者:3.97(0.00-8.07)比11.1 (8.46-13.7),p = 0.053。AFP水平≥200 ng/mL对生存率有不利影响:AFP≥200 ng/mL组的中位OS为12.0(5.95-18.9)个月,而AFP <200 ng/mL组的中位OS为16.1(8.73-23.5)个月,p = 0.020。81.0% (n = 47)的患者出现不良事件。最常见的ae是动脉高血压(32.8%)、虚弱(24.1%)、体重减轻(12.1%)和食欲减退(10.3%)。由于不良反应(ae), 5例(8.6%)患者停药。Lenvatinib在实际临床实践中证实了其对uHCC患者的有效性和安全性。治疗结果可能受甲胎蛋白水平和宏观门静脉侵犯的影响。需要对实际临床应用的治疗方案进行进一步的比较研究。

Aim: to assess effects of esophageal protector Alfasoxx on extraesophageal symptoms in patients with GERD.Materials and methods. A prospective open multicenter post-registration observational study was conducted. The study included 546 patients aged 6 to 85 years (the average age of patients is 42.4 ± 16.9 years) with a verified diagnosis of GERD (endoscopically and/or pH-metrically), the presence of extraesophageal symptoms of the disease (according to the results of an objective examination and consultations of specialists), to whom the attending physician prescribed a course of treatment with a medical device Alfasoxx in accordance with the instructions for medical use. The patients were recruited by 51 researchers in 26 cities of Russia. The study in chronological order consisted of a screening visit and two recorded visits (the observation period within the framework of the use of the Alfasoxx esophagoprotector). The screening visit was conducted on the day of the patient's admission. Visit 1 could be conducted on the same day as the screening visit, whereas visit 2 was conducted 4–5 weeks after visit 1 at the end of the course of treatment.Results. According to the results obtained, at the end of the study, 42.7 % (95 % CI: 38.5–46.9) had complete disappearance of extraesophageal GERD symptoms (questionnaire RSI = 0 points). When comparing the average values of the total RSI score before and after treatment, there was also a statistically significant regression from 13.8 points (95 % CI: 13.2–14.4) at visit 1 to 2.0 points (95 % CI: 1.8–2.2) at visit 2. Thus, the decrease in the total score was significant and exceeded 80 % of the initial value. When analyzing the dynamics of individual indicators of the RSI scale before and after treatment, a significant regression in the severity of all symptoms of the disease was noted. In addition, the results showed that the proportion of patients taking antacid-containing drugs at visit 1 significantly decreased from 58.2 % (95 % CI: 54.0–62.4) to 15.2 % (95 % CI: 12.1–18.3) by visit 2. The average score on the Likert scale of satisfaction with treatment was 4.8 (95 % CI: 4.8–4.9), whereas the convenience of using Alfasoxx is 4.7.Conclusion. This prospective observational multicenter study demonstrated that the addition of Alfasoxx to standard GERD therapy contributes to a significant regression of both esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms, as well as a decrease in the need for antacid medications.

The patients were recruited by 51 researchers in 26 cities of Russia. The study in chronological order consisted of a screening visit and two recorded visits (the observation period within the framework of the use of the Alfasoxx esophagoprotector). The screening visit was conducted on the day of the patient's admission. Visit 1 could be conducted on the same day as the screening visit, whereas visit 2 was conducted 4–5 weeks after visit 1 at the end of the course of treatment.Results. According to the results obtained, at the end of the study, 42.7 % (95 % CI: 38.5–46.9) had complete disappearance of extraesophageal GERD symptoms (questionnaire RSI = 0 points).

The purpose of the review. To systematize literature data on changes in the structure of the intestinal microbiota in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP).Key findings. The human intestinal microbiota is a dynamically changing system that is constantly undergoing qualitative and quantitative changes, especially in several pathological conditions of the digestive system. At present, the differences in the intestinal microbiota in pancreatic diseases are poorly understood. The severe CP is associated with impaired synthesis of antimicrobial peptides, bicarbonates, and digestive enzymes by the pancreas, which is a risk factor for dysbiotic changes in the intestinal microbiota, consisting in the development of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and gut dysbiosis. The results of two large meta-analyses show that about a third of CP patients have SIBO. The colonic microbiota in patients with CP is also characterized by dysbiotic disorders, primarily in the reduction of alpha-diversity. Some studies have shown that these patients have an increase in Firmicutes, while Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium are reduced. In addition, as a rule, in patients with CP, the growth of Escherichia, Shigella and Streptococcus is recorded.Conclusion. In general, scientific papers have revealed significant heterogeneity in the profiles of the intestinal microbiota in patients with CP. Thus, several questions remain open, prioritizing the further study of the intestinal microbiota in patients with CP for identifying the specifics of its structure that can personalize the selection of enzyme replacement therapy and restrict the unreasonable prescription of additional pharmacotherapy (the use of proton pump inhibitors and / or antibacterial drugs).

Aim. To analyze the literature data devoted to the study of the features of functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGID) during the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection.Key findings. Measures taken in connection with the pandemic of COVID-19 infection (introduction of lockdown, social isolation) leads to an increase in the level of depression and anxiety and, as a consequence, to an increase in the frequency and prevalence of functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as an increase in the severity of clinical symptoms of these diseases. In turn, the overcoming of COVID-19 infection contributes to an increase in the permeability of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract and the occurrence of its inflammatory changes, which lead to the development of postinfectious (postcovid) FD and postinfectious (postcovid) IBS.Conclusion. The problem of functional gastrointestinal diseases during the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection is very important and requires further research.

The aim: to highlight the main points of albumin synthesis, posttranslational modifications and functions in normal conditions and in patients with liver cirrhosis.Key points. Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma. Along with oncotic properties, albumin performs transport, antioxidant, immunomodulatory and endothelioprotective functions. Serum albumin in patient with liver cirrhosis undergoes modifications, leading to functional impairment. Human serum albumin is a compaund of human mercaptalbumin with cysteine residues having a reducing ability, and oxidized human non-mercaptalbumin. The proportion of irreversibly oxidized non-mercaptalbumin-2 with impaired functional activity increases in liver cirrhosis.Conclusion. The conformational structure of the albumin molecule plays an important role in maintaining its non-oncotic functions. Non-oncotic functions depend on albumin conformation. Further investigation of albumin conformation and albumin functions in patients with hepatic insufficiency can serve as an additional criterion for assessing the severity of cirrhosis and predictor of complications may become an additional criterion to new clinical applications and treatment strategies of liver failure.
