[The special role of inducible NO-synthase in the mechanism of rat coronary vessels tone regulation during immobilization stress, combined with diabetes mellitus].

Persistent hyperglycemia after intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (50 mg/kg) to the rats prevents decrease of coronary vessels myogenic tone and myocardial contractility during subsequent 6-hr immobilization stress. The intensity of these abnormalities in all experimental groups is significantly reduced with the supplement of the perfusate with inducible NO-synthase (iNOS) selective blocker S-methylisothiourea. Similar rise of the NO2-/NO3- concentration in the rats' blood after "stress", "diabetes mellitus" and "diabetes mellitus + stress" combines with an increase of iNOS transcripts in the myocardium to 6, 5.

[Surgical treatment of rectocele with the use of mesh implants by the obstructive defecation syndrome].

Unlabelled: The aim of current study was to evaluate in complex the effectiveness of transvaginal mesh implants in women with obstructed defecation (OD) syndrome based on the comparison of preoperative and postoperative results of objective diagnostic tools and quality of life parameters.

Methods: from prospectively collected database of patients treated in our department those who were treated for OD by means of transvaginally placed mesh implants were chosen. The comparison of pre- and postoperative results of objective evaluation (prolapse stage according to POP-Q system, X-ray defecography - XR-DG and MRI defecography - MRI-DG) as well quality of life parameters (Wexner constipation score and validated Russian version of King's Health Questionnaire) was undertaken.
