The dynamics of the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) level in assessing the risk of adverse outcomes in operated colorectal cancer patients.

Background: The main aim of this study is to analyze changes in the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) level in blood serum over time and assess it as a potential risk factor for the development of SIRS, infectious and inflammatory complications, organ dysfunction and mortality in patients operated on colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: 90 CRC patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1-50 patients operated on for CRC without acute bowel obstruction (ABO); Group 2-40 patients operated on for CRC with ABO. To determine LBP by ELISA method venous blood was taken 1 h before surgery and 72 h after it (3rd day).

Mortality Risk Factors of Early Neonatal Sepsis During COVID-19 Pandemic.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine predisposing factors for negative outcome in infants with early neonatal sepsis during COVID-19.

Patients And Methods: A prospective cohort study of 172 newborns up to 4 days diagnosed with neonatal sepsis was carried out in Karaganda (Kazakhstan). The microbiological examination was used to identify a causative agent of bloodstream infection.

The Presence of PDL-1 on CD8+ Lymphocytes Is Linked to Survival in Neonatal Sepsis.

Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Neonatal sepsis is the main cause of death in newborns, especially preterm infants. The pathogenesis of sepsis is based on a hyper-inflammatory syndrome combined with an immunosuppressive mechanism in sepsis.

[HIGH-DENSITY MAPPING OF ATYPICAL ATRIAL FLUTTER USING A PENTARAY].

This article describes clinical cases with complex cardiac arrhythmias after previous interventions. The aim of this article is to provide the first experience of using the PentaRay high-density mapping catheter in Kazakhstan (Biosense Webster, California, USA). Two clinical cases with the presence of several types of cardiac arrhythmias in each patient are described.

Weight loss technology for people with treated type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in worldwide despite the development of new treatment methods. Aim of the study was to evaluate a weight loss method on body composition, glycemic, lipid and hormone profiles, blood pressure and reactive oxygen species in people with treated type 2 diabetes.

Methods: A 24-week open, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial including 272 adult patients with treated type 2 diabetes was performed.

Sequence Alterations of I(Ks) Potassium Channel Genes in Kazakhstani Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and it results in significant morbidity and mortality. However, the pathogenesis of AF remains unclear to date. Recently, more pieces of evidence indicated that AF is a multifactorial disease resulting from the interaction between environmental factors and genetics.

RYR2 sequencing reveals novel missense mutations in a Kazakh idiopathic ventricular tachycardia study cohort.

Channelopathies, caused by disturbed potassium or calcium ion management in cardiac myocytes are a major cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death worldwide. The human ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) is one of the key players tightly regulating calcium efflux from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol and found frequently mutated (<60%) in context of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT1). We tested 35 Kazakhstani patients with episodes of ventricular arrhythmia, two of those with classical CPVT characteristics and 33 patients with monomorphic idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia, for variants in the hot-spot regions of the RYR2 gene.
