[Ethnic and age characteristics of the frequency of risk factors chronic kidney disease in elderly and senile people of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).].

The study included patients with chronic kidney disease aged 60-89 years, who were divided into three groups by ethnicity (Evens, Yakuts and Russians). By age, all study participants were divided into 2 age groups: elderly (60-74 years old) and senile (75-89 years old). For the first time, ethnic features of the prevalence of risk factors and progression of chronic kidney disease in elderly and senile people of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) were revealed on clinical material.

Region-specific effects of antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism on endothelial NO-pathway activity in systemic circulation.

Background: Antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism weakens NO-mediated anticontractile influence of endothelium in coronary arteries of adult rats, but it remains unclear whether this occurs in other vascular regions. We hypothesized that developmental thyroid deficiency is followed by region-specific changes in the endothelial NO-pathway activity in systemic vasculature. To explore this, we estimated the effects of antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism on NO-pathway activity and its potential local control mechanisms in rat mesenteric and skeletal muscle (sural) arteries.

The attitude of young people in the city of Yakutsk to DNA-testing.

This pilot research was one of the first sociological studies with general questions on genetic testing with 300 participants, 75% of which were representatives of one people - the Sakha. A quantitative method was used: a sociological survey with quota sampling (Δ ± 5%), held in February - March 2018 in the City of Yakutsk (n = 350).Analysis of the survey results have shown that the respondents have low levels of awareness about the DNA-testing method: 72.

Antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism increases the contribution of Rho-kinase to contractile responses of mesenteric and skeletal muscle arteries in adult rats.

Background: Maternal thyroid deficiency can increase Rho-kinase procontractile influence in arteries of 2-week-old progeny. Here we hypothesized that augmented role of Rho-kinase persists in arteries from adult progeny of hypothyroid rats.

Methods: Dams were treated with 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) in drinking water (0.

Voluntary exercise training restores anticontractile effect of NO in coronary arteries of adult rats with antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism.

Introduction: Our recent study showed that NO-mediated anticontractile effect of endothelium is absent in coronary arteries of adult rats, which suffered from antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism. This study tested the hypothesis that exercise training would improve such detrimental consequences of early thyroid deficiency.

Design And Methods: Wistar dams received propylthiouracil (PTU, 7 ppm) in drinking water during gestation and two weeks postpartum; control dams received tap water.
