Including the tumor necrosis factor TNF inhibitors (TNFi) in the management guidelines for children with juvenile non-systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has significantly increased the effectiveness of antirheumatic treatment. However, the guidelines of TNFa withdrawal when disease remission is achieved remains unclear. Objective. To study the efficacy and safety of different TNFi withdrawal regimens in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis without systemic manifestations due to the achievement of long-term disease remission. Patients and methods: The prospective simple randomized trial included 76 patients with JIA without non-systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with a disease remission duration of ≥24 months, developed under the conditions of treatment with TNFi. Of these, 38.2% are male, the average age is 11.6 years; 67 (88.2%) patients received etanercept (0.8 mg / kg / week. subcutaneously 1 time per week), the rest – adalimumab (24 mg/m2 subcutaneously 1 time in 2 weeks). Depending on the withdrawal regimen, patients were divided into three groups: in the I group, one-time withdrawa was presented, in the II group, the interval between administrations was of two times and the III group was reduced by a dose of two times. The main indicator of the study: preservation of the stage of inactive disease / remission (according to the criteria for remission of C. Wallace) for 6, 12 and 18 months after the withdrawal of TNFi. Results. At the time of withdrawal of TNFi, the average duration of the disease was 7.3 years, the duration of therapy with TNFa was 5 years, remission – was 4.4 years. For 6, 12 and 18 months after the withdrawal of TNFi, the stage of remission persisted in 44 (57.9%), 21 (27.6%) and 18 (23.7%) patients. Exacerbation of disease was registered in 58/76 (76%) patients. Biologic therapy was resumed in 56/58 children, in all cases the stage of inactive disease was reached. Among patients with exacerbation of JIA, 23/56 (41%) continued to receive disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Predictors of successful withdrawal of TNFa in patients with non-systemic JIA 6 and 12 months after discontinuation of the biological therapy were the female sex, the absence of HLA B27, antinuclear factor and long-term methotrexate therapy; predictors of exacerbation - increasing in the serum concentration of calprotectin (S-100 protein), the presence of subclinical synovitis according to ultrasound and MRI of the joints and uveitis. Conclusion. After the withdrawal of TNFi, the remission stage for 6 and 12 months persisted more than in half and one third of patients. The withdrawal regimens did not affect the duration of the remission of disease. The resumption of biological therapy in the exacerbation stage of JIA made it possible to reach the remission stage in most patients. Predictors of successful withdrawal of TNFi in patients with non-systemic JIA 6 and 12 months after discontinuation of the biological therapy were the fe

The gut mycobiome comprises no more than 0.1% of its microbiota; however, it plays an important role in human health and disease. The balance of the mycobiome affects the stability of the microbiome, while the interaction between gut bacteria and fungi can be both beneficial and detrimental to the latter. The interaction between the mycobiome and the host is achieved through modulating the immune system and affecting the metabolism, which, in turn, can modulate the outcome of the disease. Fungal gut dysbiosis, for which we propose the term “dysmycobiosis”, is closely related not only to gastrointestinal disorders (such as inflammatory bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma), but also to various extraintestinal pathologies, including chronic liver disease, metabolic disorders, and neurological disorders. The investigation of the mechanisms underlying gut dysmycobiosis will promote the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for inflammatory and other human diseases. Gut mycobiome modulation is a promising therapeutic strategy encompassing dietary interventions, probiotics (both bacterial and fungal), and non-toxic metabolites.

Nutritional status is associated to lung function and survival. Body mass index (BMI) is used to determine nutritional status, last studies of the body composition show that the most informative indicators correlated with lung function are data about body composition, the ratio of fat and fat-free body mass. In Russian Federation the body composition of children with cystic fibrosis is poorly studied. Objective. To assess the body composition before starting targeted therapy in children with cystic fibrosis Patients and methods. 103 children aged 5 to 17 years were examined. The median age of the children is 12 ± 5 years. Male – 47 (45.6%), female – 53 (53%). The children were divided into 3 groups: 1 group – BMI ≥50 percentile, 2 group – BMI <50 > 10 percentile, 3 group – BMI ≤10 percentile. In the studied groups were analysed: anthropometric indicators, nutritional status, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), external respiration function. Cross-sectional study design. Conclusion. Patients with cystic fibrosis may have high risk of developing sarcopenia with normal level of BMI ( progressive and generalised skeletal muscle disorder involving the accelerated loss of muscle mass and function ). Measurement of body composition, including data of the lean body mass ratio, insufficiency of the protein in the diet and the entire energy metabolism, will improve the nutritional status of children, reduce the risk of respiratory and metabolic complications in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Post-COVID syndrome is "a post-COVID-19 condition that develops in people with a history of probable or confirmed infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, usually within 3 months of the onset of COVID-19 and characterized by the presence of symptoms for at least 2 months, as well as the inability to explain them with an alternative diagnosis, according to the WHO definition, Experts believe that about 20–50% of COVID-19 survivors have a Post-COVID Conditions (PCC) clinic. The reasons for the development of PCC are still not founded. Post-COVID syndrome may be associated with long-term persistence of SARSCoV-2, quantitative and qualitative changes in the microbiome/virome, autoimmune reactions, hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, etc More data is accumulating regarding the reactivation of herpesviruses as one of the leading causes of RCC.

Background. A register is a critical component of the healthcare system. It consists of the informational part (number of patients, spectrum and severity of pathology, dynamics of each patient's condition, administration of specific drugs, and therapeutic effects) and an analytical part (treatment efficacy, planning individual and regional needs for specific drugs and therapeutic effects, development and evaluation of management protocols, etc.). In Russia, despite the existence of the National Federal Register, the number of parameters collected is limited; the Register lacks information about the disease course, clinical characteristics of patients, outcomes, and treatment costs. Thus, the existing shortcomings of the Federal Registry do not allow us to address the problems related to the management of the healthcare quality for patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Objective. To analyze geographical, demographic, and clinical characteristics of sJIA patients receiving biologicals, time to diagnosis, and time to admission to a Federal Center according to the Federal Register of the Russian Federation. Patients and methods. We conducted a retrospective study that included 927 sJIA patients receiving biologicals according to the Federal Register. Results. The majority of patients resided in the Central and Volga Federal Districts (221 (23.8%) and 206 (22.3%), respectively). Half of the patients (n = 472 (50.8%)) had their disease onset before the age of 5 years. The following symptoms were registered at disease onset: fever (n = 908 (98%)), rash (n = 748 (80.7%)), enlarged liver and/or spleen (n = 562 (60.6%)), and serositis (n = 198 (21.4%)). A total of 708 children (76.4%) had active arthritis at the moment of disease onset, whereas 130 patients developed arthritis later. Median time to the development of articular syndrome was 24 months. Median time between the disease onset and the diagnosis was 2.93 months. Median time between the first symptoms and admission to a Federal Center was 6.7 months. Conclusion. Analysis of data from the Federal Register of sJIA patients receiving biologicals demonstrated that sJIA in the Russian population is characterized by an acute and early onset with severe extra-articular manifestations, and articular syndrome. The diagnosis was usually verified and the patients were hospitalized to specialized rheumatology departments of Federal Centers within 5 months.

Acute intestinal infections (AIIs) have always been a significant problem in all age groups, particularly in children under 5 years of age. AIIs are characterized by high incidence and can result in severe or even life-threatening dehydration. Therefore, rehydration is the first and compulsory component of the treatment in these patients. In addition to oral rehydration, probiotics are crucial for AII treatment. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can improve the health of the host when prescribed in adequate doses. Multiple microorganisms with probiotic activity have been isolated so far. Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast, has a special place among all probiotics. One of its strains, S. boulardii CNCM I-745, has demonstrated its high probiotic activity and safety in numerous randomized clinical trials and confirmed by meta-analyses. In particular, in a randomized controlled trial SABINA conducted in Argentina, S. boulardii CNCM I-745 showed higher efficacy than Bacillus clausii in reducing the duration of acute diarrhea in children. In 2023, the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) provided updated recommendations for the use of probiotics for the management of AIIs. Among other things, it states that S. boulardii CNCM I-745 can be recommended for the management of acute gastroenteritis in children, since there is evidence of reduced duration of diarrhea. Thus, isolation of S. boulardii CNCM I-745 provided new treatment options for a wide range of diseases, including AIIs.

The administration of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) might cause dose-dependent hyperglycemia and poorer glycemic control in patients with earlier diagnosed carbohydrate metabolism disorders. However, not in all patients, ICS affects glycated hemoglobin, the main marker of diabetes mellitus. Objective: to assess the effect of ICS on the glycemic profile of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). We demonstrated how ICS can affect the glycemic profile in DM1 patients on the example of two cases. ICS can cause short-term increase in blood glucose in some DM1 patients, comparable to postprandial levels; however, ICS does not compromise glycemic control. Nevertheless, such cases have to be managed by a pulmonologist and a pediatric endocrinologist for individual correction of therapy.

We demonstrated how ICS can affect the glycemic profile in DM1 patients on the example of two cases. ICS can cause short-term increase in blood glucose in some DM1 patients, comparable to postprandial levels; however, ICS does not compromise glycemic control. Nevertheless, such cases have to be managed by a pulmonologist and a pediatric endocrinologist for individual correction of therapy.

The XXI century is a century of viral infections, but bacterial infections are still important in the development of infectious pathology. The clinical case reflects the features of neuroinfections in children with chronic Herpes virus and streptococcal infections. The disease progression is described in a child with an unfavorable premorbid background and the causes are discussed. The role of streptococcal infections is presented: chronic course and development of poststreptococcal disorders are typical. It is possible a reactivation of varicella zoster virus in children who had chickenpox, which can contribute the progression of nervous system disorder. Therapy includes antiviral and antibacterial medicines and Cytoflavin – a medicament with a complex mechanism of pathogenetic action, which achieves a successful outcome with the recovery of patient with acute disseminated meningoencephalitis.

Objective. Any severe chronic disease affects the physical development and nutritional status of the child. In Crohn's disease, this effect is complex, because. the gastrointestinal tract is involved in the pathological process, the absorption of nutrients is impaired, and more often the losses exceed the intake of basic nutrients and energy. Patients and methods. In a single-center observational study in the gastroenterology department of a multidisciplinary pediatric hospital, anthropometry data were evaluated in 94 patients (44.7% boys, 55.3% girls) aged 3 to 17 years (mean age 7 years) with a verified diagnosis of Crohn's disease, receiving treatment. Children are divided into age groups according to the WHO classification. Assessment of physical development (height, weight, BMI) was carried out according to the WHO Anthro and WHO AnthroPlus programs. Statistical processing of the material was carried out using the IBM Stata 12 application software package. The hypothesis of normal distribution was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests. In order to detect differences between the samples, the Kruskall–Wallis test was used; for a posterior comparisons, the Bonferroni correction was used. Results. Most often, children with this diagnosis seek specialized medical care in the period of second childhood (n = 25), adolescence (n = 44) and late adolescence (n = 17). There is a shift in the Z-score of growth to the zone of low values in the groups of the first and second childhood. Among patients of adolescence and youth, there are children with medium and high growth. Body weight deficiency was found in children of the first and second childhood. Deficient BMI is more common in children of adolescence and youth, at the same time, obesity occurs among these patients, but much less frequently than in the general population.

One of the main factors determining the severity of the course and prognosis in cystic fibrosis (CF) is the severity of the infectious and inflammatory process and the species composition of the microflora in the lower respiratory tract (LRT). Studies show the important role of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses as a source and reservoir of microflora. Objective. To assess the species composition and correlation of microflora from the various parts of the upper and lower respiratory tract in children with cystic fibrosis. Patients and methods. 94 patients aged 2 to 18 years diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with cystic fibrosis which had surgical intervention were included. The species composition of microflora was obtained from paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity, evaluated intraoperatively, from trachea during intubation in comparison with the actual (1-3 weeks before the intervention ) results of bacteriological test of induced sputum and / or material from the posterior pharyngeal wall, as well as the most "clinically significant" microflora in the anamnesis. Statistical analysis was carried out in order to search for correlations of the species composition of the bacterial flora between these parts of the respiratory tract. Results. The analysis showed no correlation between the microflora of different parts, except for the correlation between the most "clinically significant" microflora in anamnesis and obtained intraoperatively from paranasal sinuses in relation to two prognostically unfavorable species of bacteria: Sternotrophomonas maltophilia ( p = 0.001) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (p = 0.047). In 13 (81.3%) of the 16 patients which had in anamnesis P. aeruginosa and was isolated from the maxillary sinus intraoperatively, its eradication was ascertained. Conclusion. The revealed positive correlation between the isolation of P. aeruginosa ever in anamnesis from low respiratory tract (LRT) and its presence in the paranasal sinuses during intraoperative sampling of the material indicates the important role of paranasal sinuses as a reservoir of pathogenic microflora and the possibility of long-term preservation of infectious agents after eradication courses of treatment and the achievement of eradication.
