[Results of Investigation of MRSA Susceptibility to Vancomycin in Clinical Units of Large Multifunctional Hospital and Recommendations on Optimization of Antibacterial Therapy of Staphylococcal Infection].

The frequency of MRSA and MRSE isolates in various units of the Voronezh Regional Hospital was investigated by the results of the local microbiological monitoring for 2014. The maximum position of MRSA was recorded in the ICU (38 to 75% of the strains). The MRSA strains were characterized by higher methicillin resistance, mainly from the cardiosurgical units (60 to 91% of the isolates).

[The membrane-protective action of a new preparation of n-3 polyenic acids in the adrenaline-damaged myocardium].

We undertook this study to evaluate effects of a long-term pretreatment with a new stabilized drug preparation n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the development of experimental adrenalin-induced necrosis of the myocardium. It was found out that the preliminary administration of PUFAs makes for a significant reduction in the mass of the infarcted area of the myocardium. Severely manifest arrhythmias were less frequently seen in treated animals, with death rates among them being lower than in controls, and what is more, an excess activation of the biomembrane lipid peroxidation and suppression of the function of the system of antioxidant defence, occurring in necrosis of the myocardium in an experimental setting, appeared to be generally preventable.
