Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 25 patients with CLPD were examined. Examinations were conducted twice: before chemotherapy (CT) and after 3 courses of CT.
Objective: The aim: To investigate the frequency of development and nature of cytostatic-induced hepatotoxic reactions in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with overweight and obesity during remission induction сhemotherapy (CT).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We examined 25 patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia (AL), of which 56% (14/25) were men, 44% (11/25) were women. Depending on the body mass index (BMI), patients were divided into groups: I (n=10) - patients with AML and BMI of 18.
Objective: The aim: Is to investigate the effect of doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress on plasma citrulline and citrulline concentration in the small intestinal (SI) mucosa of rats with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The studies were carried out on 30 white non-linear adult rats, 15 (50%) males, 15 (50%) females, weighing 160-220 g. The rats were divided into three groups: І (n=10) - rats without NASH, received a standard diet, subsequently were injected with doxorubicin in cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg; ІI (n=10) - rats with NASH, received a high-calorie diet with doxorubicin injection similarly to group I; ІІІ (n=10) -control group, received a standard diet, were injected with placebo.
Objective: The aim: To define clinical peculiarities of chronic active gastritis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) considering Helicobacter pylori (HP) status and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 172 patients with chronic active gastritis were enrolled in the study, 92 out of them had concomitant T2DM. Symptoms were collected with the questionnaire, HP infection was diagnosed with stool antigen test, SIBO was assessed with glucose hydrogen breath test.
Objective: The aim: to study the Arginine / Citrulline-cycle features on a diet-induced rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The studies were carried out on 20 white non-linear adult rats, including 10 (50%) males, 10 (50%) females, weighing 160-220 g. NAFLD was modeled by a 9-week fast food diet.
Objective: Introduction: Increasing of the availability and quality of health care in rural areas is one of the priority directions of public health and regional development policy. The need for reforming of the network of secondary health care facilities is due to the fact, that they are unable to meet the needs of the population in this specialized type of medical care in the conditions of the existing structure and funding system. The aim: to analyze the existing legislation regulating the establishment and operation of hospital districts; to determine the methodology for monitoring and evaluating of the activity of the hospital district on the example of the Poltava region.
