It is known that presence of certain genetic polymorphism plays important role in development of chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Aim: To analyze distribution of VEGF G/C polymorphisms and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms in patients with T2D and IHD.Materials and methods: The following groups of studies were formed: 1 – 24 almost healthy people; 2 – 28 patients with prediabetes; 3 – 37 patients ...

Background: Epidemiologocal data suggest an continuous increase in thyroid carcinoma diagnosis. Therefore, thyroidectomy rates are projected to increase world-wide in exponential scale. In Switzerland, the institutional number of thyroidectomies varies, however there is no data yet on the association between institutional thyroidectomy volume and clinical outcome.Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of adult inpatients in Swiss hospitals using a nation-wide...

Introduction: The formation of oxidative stress in the biological reaction of inflammation is accompanied by the formation of methylglyoxal (MG), which initiates the glycosylation reaction of proteins. When hyperglycemia MG content significantly increased. MG interacts with the amino groups of lysine and arginine to form further glycation end products (CNG). Glycation is due to the ability of glucose to form irreversible chemical compounds of CNG with amino groups of proteins....

Introduction: Retinol binding protein (RSP) is a member of the adipokine family associated with insulin resistance (IR). With an excess of free fatty acids, the binding of insulin by hepatocyte receptors decreases and hyperinsulinemia develops. RSP is a transport protein for retinol, synthesized in hepatocytes and adipocytes. The level of RSP increased in patients with obesity, diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) correlated positively with the sever...

Pathogenesis of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 90% combined with diabetes mellitus (DM) of the second type. Factors cutting: abdominal obesity, excessive content of free fatty acids. Development of insulin resistance through protein kinase. Violation of the transmission of insulin signal leads to damage to the endothelium. Glycation of nitric oxide synthase leads to the development of diabetic complications and violates the sensitivity of the insulin receptors.<p cla...

Obesity affects on the composition of bile: the lithogenicity of bile increases, biliary sludge and cholelithiasis are developing. Under the influence of the active form of oxygen, abnormal forms of bile acids are formed, which negatively affects the development and progression of the pathological process. With the development of inflammation in the liver and pancreas, disturbances in the membrane proteins of glucose transporters occur, the activity of nuclear receptors for th...

Aim: To study the morphofunctional state of the myocardium in young people with diabetes mellitus 1 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.Material and methods: 38 patients (14 men, 24 women), aged 18–36 years old, with an experience of type 1 diabetes from 5 to 16 years old were underwent contrastive mri of the heart. The exclusion criteria were: pronounced electrolyte disorders in the blood, dysproteinemia, chronic liver and kidney fail...

Introduction: Nivolumab, an anti–programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, is a promising treatment of variety advanced malignancies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause immune-related adverse events, including endocrine pathology. Destructive thyroiditis is one of the most frequently observed nivolumab-induced endocrine irAEs which associated with the presence of anti–thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Abs) and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Tg-Abs) pri...

Background: Incidence of thyroidectomies and awareness to postoperative quality measures have both increased in the last decade. Gender-specific indications and variations in clinical outcomes of patients undergoing thyroidectomy in Switzerland are of interest.Methods: We cross-sectionally compared administrative nationwide patient-level data for length of hospital stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, 30-day readmissions rates, and other qual...

According to state statistics service, Russia’s population in 2018 is more than 146.8 mil people. The total prevalence of acromegaly may range between 2.8 and 13.7 cases per 100,000 people and the annual incidence rates vary between 0.2 and 1.1 cases per 100,000 people (Lavrentaki A, et al. 2016). The epidemiological data for acromegaly in Russian population is lacking. The Russian hypothalamic and pituitary tumors registry was founded in 2004 and for 2018 it con...
