Aim of the study: to assess the interaction between TSH and the most common geriatric syndromes in the cohort of centenarians Materials and Methods: It was a longitudinal study, including 82 centenarians (95 years and older), who live in Moscow. Complex geriatric assessment and blood tests were performed. Complex geriatric assessment included past medical history, FRAIL, IADL-C, MNA, GDS-15 and МOCA scores. We analyzed the interactions between TSH, m...

Background: Network analysis of species abundance across different individuals suggested that the overall structure of the human gut microbiota in each individual conforms to discrete and distinct patterns defined by interactions within community members. This hypothesis was investigated using a dataset of metagenomic sequences from American, European and Japanese individuals. Multidimensional cluster analysis and principal component analysis revealed that all individual sampl...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a condition of multi-factorial origin, involving several molecular mechanisms related to the intestinal micro-biota for its development. The micro-biota able to favor systemic exposure to the lipopolysaccharides (LPS), large glycolipids derived from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS can cause a condition of ‘metabolic endotoxemia’ characterized by low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance.<p class="a...

Aim of the study: To assess the most important metabolic factors in centenarians and their impact on mortality and prognosisMaterials and methods: Itwasalongitudinalstudy, including 82 centenarians (95 years and older), who live in Moscow. Complex geriatric assessment and blood tests were performed. Complex geriatric assessment included past medical history, FRAIL, IADL-C, MNA, GDS-15 and MOCA scores. We also analyzed levels of HbA1c, cholesterol, LDL, H...

IntroductionMetformin and vildagliptin are the medications amongst first-line treatment options in type 2 diabetes patients. Few recent studies have explained positive pleotropic effects of metformin therapy by telomerase activation and telomeres length in leukocytes preservation. Knowing the primary role of insulin-signalling pathway in insulin resistance development and physiology of ageing, it is possible to suggest, that one of the protective mechani...

Aim of the study: To investigate osteoporosis features in elder patients in Moscow population.Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective study, during which we analyzed the data of 192 outpatients (183 women and 9 men) admitted to Gerontology Research and Clinical Centre in 2018. In the focus of our attention was patients’ past medical history, such as any antiosteoporotic treatment received, vitamin D and Ca supplementations, any fractures in pr...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive disease. The gut microbiota has recently been identified as a new potential diabetes risk factor.Design: To investigate the gut microbiota composition in association with the dietary patterns in patients with different glucose tolerance we analyzed 92 patients: with normal glucose tolerance (n=48), prediabetes (n=24) and T2D (n=20). Metagenomic analysis was performed using 16Sr...

The medical and social importance of a problem of a gestational diabetes (GD) is caused by higher probability of occurrence of the complicated current of pregnancy and delivery. Frequency of a GD varies within 1.5–13% from total pregnancies, essentially increasing in risk groups.Materials and methods: One hundred and fifty-six pregnant women in different periods of gestation were examined. The estimation of GD’s risk factors was spent to all wo...

It is known that glucose disturbances contribute to vascular ageing. The length of telomere (TL) and telomerase activity (TA) are considered as biomarkers of cellular ageing. It is crucial to determine the role of telomere biology in different vessels changes in diabetic patients. The aim of our study was to determine the role of telomere biology in vascular ageing in patients with T2DM.Results: All patients were divided into two groups by the median of ...
