gene polymorphisms influence on antihypertensive effectiveness and hypouricemic effect of losartan among patients with arterial hypertension: an observational study.

Objectives: gene polymorphic variants can decrease the effects of losartan, reducing active metabolite (E-3174) formation. Study aims to determine the influence of (+430C>T; rs799853) and *3 (+1075A>C; rs1057910) gene polymorphic variants on the hypotensive and uricosuric effect of losartan on patients with arterial hypertension.

Methods: Eighty one patients with stage 1-2 arterial hypertension newly diagnosed with ABMP were enrolled in the study.

[FEATURES OF THE USE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19].

The review traces the evolution of the section on the use of antibacterial drugs in the temporary guidelines of the Ministry of Health for the treatment of a new coronavirus infection. Diagnostic approaches that play an important role in deciding on the need and duration of antibacterial therapy are presented. Routine use of fluoroquinolones should be restricted due to the adverse safety spectrum.

Variation of Genomic Sites Associated with Severe Covid-19 Across Populations: Global and National Patterns.

Background: Information about the distribution of clinically significant genetic markers in different populations may be helpful in elaborating personalized approaches to the clinical management of COVID-19 in the absence of consensus guidelines.

Aim: Analyze frequencies and distribution patterns of two markers associated with severe COVID-19 ( and ) and look for potential correlations between these markers and deaths from COVID-19 among populations in Russia and across the world.

Methods: We genotyped 1883 samples from 91 ethnic groups pooled into 28 populations representing Russia and its neighbor states.

[Day-by Day Blood Pressure Variability: Methodological Aspects, Prognostic Value, Effects of Antihypertensive Therapy].

In this article we present problems of prognostic value of day-by-day blood pressure (BP) variability, its role in development and progression of damage of target organs in arterial hypertension, and impact on risk of cardiovascular, cerebral-vascular complications, and mortality. We also discuss methodological aspects of assessment of day-by-day BP variability. The article contains literature data on effects of antihypertensive therapy on variability of home BP, and consideration of evidence base of possibilities of the fixed amlodipine/perindopril combination for lowering day-by-day BP variability.

Pharmacogenetic testing by polymorphic markers 681G>A and 636G>A CYP2C19 gene in patients with acute coronary syndrome and gastric ulcer in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Background: The focus of the study is to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 alleles, associated with the risk of changes in the pharmacological response to clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups.

Methods: The research included 411 patients with ACS (143 Russians and 268 Yakuts) and 204 patients with histologically confirmed gastric ulcer (63 Russians and 141 Yakuts). Genotyping of 681G>A and 636G>A polymorphisms was performed by using polymerase real-time chain reaction.
