Sodium-dependent glucose co-transport proteins (SGLTs) are not involved in human glucose taste detection.

The sweet taste of saccharides, such as sucrose and glucose, and other sweeteners is known to result from activation of the TAS1R2/R3 receptor expressed in taste receptor cells (TRCs) of the taste bud. Recent reports have suggested the existence of an additional sweet taste signaling pathway for metabolizable saccharides that is dependent on the activity of glucose transporters, especially SGLT1, also expressed in TRCs. We have investigated the potential contribution of SGLT1 to glucose taste signaling in humans.

[Treatment of patients with abscess of prostate gland by the method of percutaneous punction].

Objectives: Demonstrate the treatment of prostatic abscess with a minimally invasive method - abscess puncture with aspiration of purulent fluid and injection of an antibiotic into abscess cavity.

Materials And Methods: Diagnosis of prostatic abscess of 23 patients using ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic region. 19 patients with the abscess within the prostatic capsule were treated with perineal percutaneous puncture method with aspiration of the abscess fluid and injection of antibiotics into cavity.

A METHOD OF COMPLEX EVALUATION OF MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF OSTIOMEATAL COMPLEX COMPONENTS, LOWER WALL OF MAXILLARY AND FRONTAL SINUSES.

Objective: The aim: Was to evaluate the anatomical variability of the frontal and maxillary sinuses, ostiomeatal complex components (OMC) and to identify factors that contribute to complications of inflammatory processes and development of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study involved assessment of 100 spiral computed tomograms (SCT) of human patients without pathological processes in the PNS area. The basic parameters of the anatomical structure of the ostiomeatal complex (the area of the hooked process and the middle nasal conch, their transverse dimensions, the density and dimensions of the natural connection), the thickness and the density of the lower wall of the maxillary and frontal sinuses were determined.

[Uroflowmetry in examination of the female with stress urinary incontinence].

Aim: Show the ability of uroflowmetry to record episodes of involuntary loss of urine at an altitude cough bursts.

Material And Methods: A total of 49 women with a genital prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. The study was conducted during bladder filling 150-300 ml of urine.

[The influence of the nasal septum tubercle on certain aerodynamic characteristics].

The objective of the present work was to investigate the influence of the tubercle of the nasal septum thickening on the localization of the regions of precipitation of aerosol particles in the nasal cavity under the experimental conditions. The experiment was conducted using the newly developed 3D stereolithographic model of the nasal cavity. The study has demonstrated that the tubercle of the nasal septum thickening is an aerodynamically-conditioned normal anatomical structure, and its absence deteriorates the aerodynamic characteristics of the airflow through the nasal cavity.
