[Frequency of some diseases and conditions in geriatric patients with coronary heart disease and various genotypes of transcription factor 7-like 2 protein].

In 2009-2010, 98 patients diagnosed with the coronary heart disease, but without the expressed metabolic violations, decompensated conditions and diseases were surveyed. Patients of 60-90 years were divided by age into two groups: younger than 75 years--47 people; 75 years and older--51; there were 41 women and 57 men; the ratio between women and men was 1:1.4; average age was 76.

[Fatty liver in elderly patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (according to autopsy data)].

In article it is a question of morphological research of fragments of tissue of a liver at 143 elderly and old patients with atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries which have died on offices of the S-Petersburg hospital for veterans of wars in 2006-2010. Average age of the died patients was defined in the range from 61 till 98 years and made 82.3 ± 1.

[Genotype and allele frequencies of UCP and PPAR gene families in residents of besieged Leningrad and in the control group].

Genotype and allele frequencies of uncoupling proteins 2 and 3 genes (UCP2 and UCP3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors genes (PPARA, PPARD and PPARG) were studied in 206 residents of the siege and in 139 individuals of more than 69 years old (control group). Studied polymorphisms included UCP2 (Ala55Val), UCP3 (C-55T), PPARA (G/C), PPARD (+294T/C), and PPARG (Pro12Ala). The G allele and the G/G genotype (PPARA) were overrepresented in the group of survivors and C/C (UCP3) genotype prevailed in the women of besieged Leningrad compared to relevant control groups of the persons of the same age who did not suffered hungry disaster.
