Long-Term Administration of Omeprazole-Induced Hypergastrinemia and Changed Glucose Homeostasis and Expression of Metabolism-Related Genes.

Introduction: PPIs, or proton pump inhibitors, are the most widely prescribed drugs. There is a debate regarding the relationship between long-term PPI use and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A potential connection between T2DM and PPIs could be an elevated gastrin concentration.

Comparing the Anti-Depressive Effect of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Versus Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in the Treatment of Patients with Depression.

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments for depressive disorders. However, ECT has a number of limitations, such as significant side effects in the neurocognitive domain and the requirement for general anesthesia. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an intervention that applies electric stimulation to the brain without causing convulsions, thus representing an attractive alternative to ECT.

PPARG stimulation restored lung mRNA expression of core clock, inflammation- and metabolism-related genes disrupted by reversed feeding in male mice.

The circadian rhythm system regulates lung function as well as local and systemic inflammations. The alteration of this rhythm might be induced by a change in the eating rhythm. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) is a key molecule involved in circadian rhythm regulation, lung functions, and metabolic processes.

Expression of periferal core molecular clock genes in oral mucosa depends on the chronotype in patients with maxillofacial cellulitis.

Introduction: Accurate determination of the patient's chronotype is one of the problems of personalized medicine. Recent studies have shown that determining of the expression of timing genes is a valuable method that can help gain molecular insight into a patient's intrinsic circadian timing. Odontogenic cellulitis is very common pathology.

Polymorphism of tmprss2 (rs12329760) but not ace2 (rs4240157), tmprss11a (rs353163) and cd147 (rs8259) is associated with the severity of COVID-19 in the Ukrainian population.

Background And Aim: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), transmembrane serine 2 and serine 11A proteases (TMPRSS2, TMPRSS11A), and a cell surface cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) might be a gene candidate that exerts the susceptibility to and mortality from coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between ace2, tmprss2, tmprss11a, and cd147 polymorphic variants and the severity of COVID-19 in the Ukrainian population.

Methods: The study population consisted of the Ukrainian population with COVID-19: patients without oxygen therapy (n=62), with non-invasive (n=92) and invasive (n=35) oxygen therapy, as well as control subjects (n=92).

PPARG agonist pioglitazone influences diurnal kidney medulla mRNA expression of core clock, inflammation-, and metabolism-related genes disrupted by reverse feeding in mice.

This study examined the influence of PPARG activation by pioglitazone (PG) on the mRNA of core clock, inflammation- and metabolism-related genes in the mouse kidney medulla as well as urinary sodium/potassium excretion rhythms disrupted by reverse feeding. Mice were assigned to daytime feeding and nighttime feeding groups. PG 20 mg/kg was administered at 7 am or 7 pm.

PPAR- Agonist Pioglitazone Restored Mouse Liver mRNA Expression of Clock Genes and Inflammation-Related Genes Disrupted by Reversed Feeding.

Introduction: The master clock, which is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), harmonizes clock genes present in the liver to synchronize life rhythms and bioactivity with the surrounding environment. The reversed feeding disrupts the expression of clock genes in the liver. Recently, a novel role of PPAR- as a regulator in correlating circadian rhythm and metabolism was demonstrated.

Allele С (rs5186) of at1r is associated with the severity of COVID-19 in the Ukrainian population.

Introduction: The severity of SARS-CoV-2 induced coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) depends on the presence of risk factors and the hosts' gene variability. There are preliminary results that gene polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system can influence the susceptibility to and mortality from COVID-19. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) might be a gene candidate that exerts such influence.

Introduction: Obese asthma is a complex syndrome, which includes different phenotypes of disease. At present, these phenotypes only have started to acquire a sufficient understanding. It was suggested that IL-26 is a potential biomarker of disease severity in asthma without signs of Th2-mediated inflammation.

SIRT1 CONTRIBUTES TO POLARIZATION OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONOCYTES BY INCREASING STAT6 EXPRESSION IN YOUNG PEOPLE WITH OVERWEIGHT AND LOW-RISK OBESITY.

Obesity contributes to the formation of low-intensity systemic inflammation with major participation of monocytes/macrophages. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase class III SIRT1 regulates the polarization of macrophages, controlling the inhibition of the M1 subpopulation and stimulating the activation of M2 macrophages. The aim of our study was to determine the regulatory role of SIRT1 in M1/M2 polarization of peripheral blood monocytes in young people with overweight and Class I obesity.

WAYS OF OPTIMIZING THE DIAGNOSTICS OF FOOD ALLERGIES IN CHILDREN BASED ON THE CLINICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL CRITERIA.

Use of the Communication Checklist - Self Report (Cc-Sr) in Schizophrenia: Language Impairments Correlate with Poor Premorbid Social Adjustment.

Background: The present study reports preliminary results from the multicentre project on the approbation of the Russian language version of the "The Communication Checklist-Self Report" (RL-CC-SR) and its first use in schizophrenia (SZ), aiming to evaluate the contribution of language disturbances in the pathogenesis of this heterogeneous disorder.

Findings are anti-arrhythmic, antihypertensive, antiatherogenic and anti-aggregation effects of complex treatment with intravenous laser radiation of blood in miners at high cardiovascular risk and its subsequent decrease due to treatment.

[THE EXPRESSION OF TLR-4 GENE MONONUCLEAR CELLS PERIPHERAL BLOOO IN PATIENTS BY HIGH RISK OF PURULENT-INFLAMMATORY COMPLICATIONS AFTER SURGERY FOR ACUTE DISEASES OF THE ABDOMINAL ORGANS].

The specified level of gene expression TLR-4 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 77 patients operated on acute diseases of the abdominal organs in the 1st and the 4th day after surgery was determined. Established dynamic changes of gene expression TLR-4. Adverse course early postoperative period in patients initially high and medium risk of purulent-septic complications was accompanied by activation of gene expression TLR-4 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

[Incidence of odontogenic phlegmon associated with polymorphic variant 896A/G of gene TLR4, but not with 2258G/A of gene TLR2].

The problem actuality is caused by significant enhancement of the incidence rate for inflammatory diseases of the head and neck tissues, first of all of the oral cavity floor abscesses and phlegmons, which causes severe forms of mediastinitis while inadequate treatment. The authors have had established, that Toll-like receptors (TLR) initiate a cascade of anti-inflammatory reactions of the inborn immunity, followed by synthesis of a certain cytokines, and their genetic polymorphism changes the immune reactivity of the organism. Trustworthy correlation of the gene TLR4 (rs4986790) polymorphism 896A/G was proved with high risk of the odontogenic phlegmon of the oral cavity floor occurrence, what would permit to prognosticate the disease course in early terms, to optimize the schemes of its prophylaxis and treatment.
