Dynamics of Cognitive Impairment in MCI Patients over a Three-Year Period: The Informative Role of Blood Biomarkers, Neuroimaging, and Genetic Factors.

Given the high growth rates of cognitive decline among the elderly population and the lack of effective etiological treatments, early diagnosis of cognitive impairment progression is an imperative task for modern science and medicine. It is of particular interest to identify predictors of an unfavorable subsequent course of cognitive disorders, specifically, rapid progression. Our study assessed the informative role of various risk factors on the dynamics of cognitive impairment among mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients.

[Immunological and neuroanatomic markers of the clinical dynamics of MCI and pre-MCI].

Objective: To study the relationship of the parameters of immunity and systemic inflammation with the structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and pre-MCI undergoing neurocognitive rehabilitation to search for candidate markers of its effectiveness.

Material And Methods: The main group included 49 patients, aged ≥60 years, with MCI and pre-MCI with memory impairment, who underwent a course of neurorehabilitation for 5 weeks. The control group included 19 volunteers of similar age with a total MoCA score of ≥25, who did not have cognitive impairment and immuno-inflammatory disorders.

[Dynamics of cognitive functions using the rehabilitation program of cognitive training].

Objective: To study the efficiency of the neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients with mild cognitive impairments.

Material And Methods: The study included 103 elderly people, aged 59 to 88 years, including 90 women and 13 men with subjective complaints of memory loss (ICD-10: F06.70; F06.

The Effect of Therapy Regimen on Antitumor Efficacy of the Nanosomal Doxorubicin against Rat Glioblastoma 101.8.

One of the key problems of glioblastoma treatment is the low effectiveness of chemotherapeutic drugs. Incorporation of doxorubicin into PLGA nanoparticles allows increasing the antitumor effect of the cytostatics against experimental rat glioblastoma 101.8.

Melatonin and its bioisosteres as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.

We conducted a study on the impact of intraperitoneal injections of melatonin and its three bioisosteres (compounds 1-3) on the development of oxygen-induced retinopathy in newborn rats during a 21-day experiment. It was demonstrated that melatonin and its analogues 1-3 effectively reduce the total protein concentration in the vitreous body of rat pups, decrease concentration of VEGF-A, and lower the level of oxidative stress (as indicated by normalization of antioxidant activity in the vitreous body). Melatonin and its analogues 1-3 equally normalize the level of VEGF-A.
