[Endoscopic vacuum therapy in minimally invasive treatment of esophageal perforations].

Objective: To compare the results of endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) and open surgery for esophageal perforations.

Material And Methods: The study included 60 patients with esophageal perforations between 2010 and 2022. The main group included 29 patients who underwent minimally invasive treatment with EVT, the control group - 31 patients after open surgical interventions.

IMPACT OF PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION ON PROTHROMBOGENIC POTENTIAL IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2.

Objective: The aim: Aim of study is to assess the influence of urgent reperfusion strategy on the levels of vWf, PAI-1 and sCD40L in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and concomitant diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 255 patients with acute myocardial infarction took part in the study, they were divided into four groups depending on the presence of concomitant diabetes mellitus type 2 and performed treatment: I group - 83 diabetic patients who were underwent urgent reperfusion therapy; II group - 60 diabetic patients who received standard anticoagulant therapy; III group - 65 non-diabetic patients who were underwent urgent reperfusion therapy; IV group - 47 non-diabetic patients who received standard anticoagulant therapy. The levels of von Willebrand factor, PAI-1 and sCD40L were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

[Adventitial cyst of the popliteal artery].

Vascular cystic adventitious degeneration (CAD) is a rare disease of unclear etiology that affects mainly the popliteal artery (up to 85-90% of cases). Clinical manifestations are similar to aneurysm of the popliteal artery. CAD occurs mainly in males of the 4 and 5 decades of life (range 10-77 years).

IMPACT OF PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION ON MARKERS OF MATRIX DEGRADATION AND ENDOTHELIAL-DEPENDENT MEDIATORS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2.

Aim of study ‒ assess an impact of percutaneous coronary intervention on markers of matrix degradation (MMP-13, TIMP-4) and endothelial-dependent mediators (sVE-cadherin, ADMA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus type 2. 110 patients with AMI were enrolled in the study, 70 patients had concomitant diabetes mellitus type 2. They were additionally divided into two subgroups depending on the treatment (percutaneous coronary intervention or conservative therapy).

Comparative analysis of the plastid conversion, photochemical activity and chlorophyll degradation in developing embryos of green-seeded and yellow-seeded pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars.

Developing seeds of some higher plants are photosynthetically active and contain chlorophylls (Chl), which are typically destroyed at the late stages of seed maturation. However, in some crop plant cultivars, degradation of embryonic Chl remains incomplete, and mature seeds preserve green colour, as it is known for green-seeded cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum L.).
