Objective: to evaluate the parameters of inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress in patients with non-alcoholicfatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the remote period after the influence of the Chornobyl accident factors.
Materials And Methods: Eighty two patients with NAFLD who had been exposed to ionizing radiation as a result ofthe Chornobyl accident and have concomitant cardiovascular pathology were examined. Hematological parametersand the level of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were determined, and the content of products of oxida-tive modification of lipids and proteins was evaluated.
Objective: to retrospectively characterize changes in the hepatobiliary system in liver cirrhosis (LC) in the clean-up workers of the Chornobyl NPP accident and to determine the factors of disease progression according to the expert materials of the Central Interagency Expert Commission on Establishing the Causal Relationship of the Diseases with the influence of factors of Chornobyl NPP accident.
Materials And Methods: Based on the data of 60 cases of the Central Interagency Expert Committee on establishing the causal link of diseases with the impact of the Chornobyl NPP accident, the factors of development, concomitant pathology and indicators of the hepatobiliary system status in 49 deceased and 11 alive clean-up workers with LC were investigated.
Results: A retrospective study of the morphological changes of the hepatobiliary system in the clean-up workers with LC showed that the main pathologic anatomical diagnosis in 37.
Objective: to determine the effectiveness of combined treatment with hepatoprotectors and antioxidant a complexpreparation of vitamins A and E (I) in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) who suffered from theChornobyl NPP accident based on the results of evaluation of metabolic changes.
Materials And Methods: The state of the hepatobiliary system of 72 patients with NASH suffered as a result of theChornobyl accident was studied based on the results of the biochemical analysis of blood, indicators characterizingthe processes of oxidative modification of macromolecules and the state of the antioxidant system (AOS), as well asstructural changes in the liver according to ultrasound investigations in the course of the examination before andafter treatment.
Results: The treatment of NASH with hepatoprotectors and antioxidant I in the sufferers of the Chornobyl accidentincreased the level of antioxidant defense products (catalase and superoxide dismutase) with the normalization ofthe integral index of the AOS, and a significant decrease in the number of patients with reduced AOS status (from42.
Unlabelled: Objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of various groups of hepatoprotectors in the treatment of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) sufferers of the accident at the Chornobyl NPP following the assessment of metabolic changes and control of persistent infections.
Materials And Methods: The study included 104 males with NASH, who were sufferers of the Chornobyl disaster and underwent examination and treatment in the conditions of the clinics of the National Research Center for Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. Analysis of the course of the functional state of the liver before and after treatment with hepatoprotectors was carried out using laboratory methods of investiga tion.
Objective: To define the features of prooxidant antioxidant balance in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who have been exposed to radiation as a result of the Chornobyl accident.
Methods: using Indicators characterizing the processes of oxidative modification of macromolecules by blood lev els of compounds with isolated double bonds (CIDB), diene conjugates (DC) oxodiene conjugates (ODC), secondary products of lipid peroxiodation reacting with thiobarbituric acid, products of oxidative modification of proteins in blood serum by levels of neutral and basic 2,4 dynitrofenilhidrazones, superoxide dismutase and catalase content in erythrocytes and ceruloplasmin in plasma were determined for the diagnosis of oxidative stress. The factor of antiox idant state was calculated.
