[On the histo- and morphogenesis of sclerosing pneumocytoma and its diagnostic criteria].

The paper presents the data available in the literature on the pathogenesis, clinical and morphological, histological and immunohistochemical features of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP). The paper gives the detailed histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of 6 SP cases. The need for the differential diagnosis of SP is determined by the features and complexity of their histo- and morphogenesis within a single tumor and a complex diagnostic study.

[Nephrological aspects of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy].

Aim: To analyze cases of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (C-TMA) in the daily practice of a hospital nephrology department, relative to the general aspects of the clinical course, therapy, and short-term outcomes.

Subjects And Methods: The prospective study conducted in the period June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016 included 10 patients with C-TMA newly diagnosed during hospitalization. Standard demographic parameters, generally accepted clinical data showing the severity of TMA and the involvement of vital organs were recorded at admission.

[Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as late high-dose consolidation in adult patients with T-cell lymphoblastic leukemias: Results of a Russian multicenter study].

Aim: To analyze the efficiency of the ALL-2009 protocol (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01 193933) in patients with T-cell leukemias, particularly the role of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) after non-myeloablative BEAM conditioning, followed by maintenance therapy.

Subjects And Methods: Since 2009, the ALL-2009 study has enrolled 90 patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), the treatment results were assessed in 86 patients: 6 and 28 patients underwent allogeneic HSCT and auto-HSCT, respectively.

[Pharmacoeconomics of ulcers: a view from Saint-Petersburg].

Only in Saint Petersburg the application of omeprazole, hiconcil and fromilid in the treatment of adult patients with duodenal ulcer could save up to 26 million rubles per year due to the decrease in the number of recurrences. Yet these funds are still wasted with the persistence worthy of better application, since most general practitioners do not realize either economic or even clinical value of eradication. The above-mentioned calculations provide a ground for reflections on the improvement of methods of advanced training for specialists with the use of pharmacoepidemiological and pharmacoeconomic grounds for the selection of optimum remedies for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.

[Assessing the informative value of positron emission tomography with the new radiopharmaceutical Sodium 11C-butyrate versus small-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography in the diagnosis of myocardial viability in patients with coronary heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction].

Myocardial viability in patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure was assessed by echocardiography with low doses of dobutamine and positron emission tomography with Sodium 11C-butyrate. Sensitivity and specificity of those methods were compared. Positron emission tomography and Sodium 11C-butyrate had quite high sensitivity and specificity, which could be compared with positron emission tomography and fluorine-18-deoxyglucose.
