Objective of the research: to assess the comparative efficiency and long-term results of treatment of rheumatic arthritis (RA).
Materials and methods: 80 RA patients have been examined. Of those, 40 patients (Group I) were administered with NSAIDs: Diclofenac 150 mg (daily dose), GCS: Prednisone 10 mg (daily dose), group II — 40 patients received NSAIDs, GCS and DMARDs: Methotrexate 10 mg (weekly dose). Dynamics of RA activity was assessed by DAS28 score at the beginning of the treatment course, then after 10 days, 6 months and 12 months, respectively, taking into account the radiological stage of the disease.
Results: a comparative study of the effectiveness of therapy in dynamics immediately after in-patient treatment showed a decrease of the DAS28 score: RA patients with X-ray stage 1 by 3,4% in group I (not treated with DMARDs) and 6,4% in the group II (treated with DMARDs), compared to their first day in the clinic; X-ray stage 2: group I — 4,2%, group II — 8,5%; X-ray stage 3: reduction in DAS28 index in both groups was approx 1,8%. After 6 months of treatment a decrease in DAS28 in patients with X-ray stage 1 amounted to 6,7% and 12,9%, X-ray stage 2 — 8,3% and 6,3%, X-Ray stage 3 — 1,8% and 6,8% for two groups, respectively. After 12 months of treatment a decrease in DAS28 in patients with X-ray stage 1 amounted to 10,0% and 22,5%, X-ray stage 2 — 12,5% and 14,9%, X-Ray stage 3 — 7,1% and 13,7% for both groups, respectively.
Conclusions: our research of the DMARDs effect on DAS28 score includes basic manifestations of immune and inflammatory process clearly showed the target effect of DMARDs on the rheumatoid process in dynamics of observation within 12 months. A study of the effectiveness of therapy in patients with RA showed significant efficacy of DMARDS in combination therapy with an analysis of the efficiency based on DAS28 score until stable remission of the disease.
Purpose of the study. To carry out a comparative description of the clinical and biochemical parameters at patients with cirrhosis of an alcoholic genesis (CP-HGA) and cirrhosis of mixed etiologies — CP-HGM (HСV+ alcohol).
Materials and methods. The study involved 62 patients with cirrhosis of different etiologies, who carries out clinical, immunogenetic and biochemical studies.
Results. Patients with the 3d genotype and low viral load were registered with cirrhosis of mixed etiologies (HСV+ alcohol). At the cirrhosis Class B for Child-Pugh basic data biochemical parameters were similar in patients with CP-HGA and CP-HGM, but ALT and AST activity, which are significantly higher than observed in patients with CP-HGM. At dismissal, ALT and GGT activities were detected significantly higher in patients with CP-HGM than the CP-HGA. At the cirrhosis Class C for Child-Pugh the baseline, reflecting cholestasis — is total bilirubin, GGT and alkaline phosphatase and were detected significantly higher in the CP-HGA, than with CP-HGM significantly reduced, and thore is no differences between the groups to be discharged from the hospital, in addition to the activity of GGT, which it remained significantly higher in the CP-HGA, than with CP-HGM. Cytolytic activity of enzymes (ALT, AST) during the entire period of the disease was observed significantly higher normal values and did not depend on the CP etiology.
Conclusion decision. The maximum rate of change of the basic biochemical parameters is observed in patients with cirrhosis of mixed etiologies Class B for Child-Pugh and at the cirrhosis of an alcoholic genesis — in patients with cirrhosis Class C.
Research objective. To define features of a course of dissecting aortic aneurysm now.
Materials and methods. 11 clinical records of the patients with the established diagnosis of dissecting aortic aneurysm who have come to Regional clinical hospital of Saratov for 2015 are analysed.
Results. Along with traditional risk factors, such as the male, existence of arterial hypertension are revealed also additional risk factors, in particular, regular heavy lifting. Gender features in localization of dissecting aortic aneurysm are defined: at men more often of dissecting aortic aneurysm of an aorta is localized in the abdominal aorta, at women in the thoracic region.
Conclusions. Additional risk factor of stratification of dissecting aortic aneurysm in the thoracic region at women is the systematic raising of weights.
