High-Risk Lineages of Hybrid Plasmids Carrying Virulence and Carbapenemase Genes.

Carbapenem-resistant (CRE) are a global health threat due to their high morbidity and mortality rates and limited treatment options. This study examines the plasmid-mediated transmission of virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants in carbapenem-resistant () and () isolated from Russian hospitals. : We performed short- and long-read whole-genome sequencing of 53 clinical isolates (48 and 5 ) attributed to 15 genetic lineages and collected from 21 hospitals across nine Russian cities between 2016 and 2022.

Anti-Cancer Potential of Transiently Transfected HER2-Specific Human Mixed CAR-T and NK Cell Populations in Experimental Models: Initial Studies on Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate Usage for Safer Treatment.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in numerous cancer cell types. Therapeutic antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) against HER2 were developed to treat human tumors. The major limitation of anti-HER2 CAR-T lymphocyte therapy is attributable to the low HER2 expression in a wide range of normal tissues.

Lineage segregation in human pre-implantation embryos is specified by YAP1 and TEAD1.

Study Question: Which processes and transcription factors specify the first and second lineage segregation events during human preimplantation development?

Summary Answer: Differentiation into trophectoderm (TE) cells can be initiated independently of polarity; moreover, TEAD1 and YAP1 co-localize in (precursor) TE and primitive endoderm (PrE) cells, suggesting a role in both the first and the second lineage segregation events.

What Is Known Already: We know that polarity, YAP1/GATA3 signalling and phospholipase C signalling play a key role in TE initiation in compacted human embryos, however, little is known about the TEAD family of transcription factors that become activated by YAP1 and, especially, whether they play a role during epiblast (EPI) and PrE formation. In mouse embryos, polarized outer cells show nuclear TEAD4/YAP1 activity that upregulates Cdx2 and Gata3 expression while inner cells exclude YAP1 which upregulates Sox2 expression.

[Experience of using bacteriophages in the complex treatment of children with aphthous stomatitis].

Unlabelled: Aphthous stomatitis (AS) is one of the most common diseases of the oral mucosa in children. A significant role in the pathogenesis of AS is assigned to the infectious-allergic factor.

The Aim: Of the work was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of topical application of bacteriophages in the complex treatment of children with aphthous stomatitis.

Surgical treatment of Kommerell's diverticulum.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is a rare congenital vascular abnormality due to the formation of an abnormal aortic arch, most commonly associated with dilatation at the proximal part of the aberrant subclavian artery. This article describes an option of surgical treatment in a patient with KD. The proposed new technique of aortic arch surgical reconstruction with a stent-graft placement in the descending aorta reduces CPB time, aortic clamp and circulatory arrest time.

Readiness of clinical laboratory diagnostics and cardiologists to implement the recommendations of the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction.

This study describes the problems of the implementation of the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction in the medical institutions of four cities: Volgograd (with Volzhsky), Yekaterinburg, Perm, Ufa, and districts of the Volgograd region. The multicenter study was conducted in the form of a questionnaire of specialists in cardiology and laboratory services. After a survey of cardiac specialists, it was found that a third of them did not see the benefits of the hs-cTn test recommended for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and almost half of the specialists surveyed believed that myoglobin was a necessary test for detecting myocardial infarction.

[The use of diuretics in chronic heart failure. Position paper of the Russian Heart Failure Society].

The document focuses on key issues of diuretic therapy in CHF from the standpoint of current views on the pathogenesis of edema syndrome, its diagnosis, and characteristics of using diuretics in various clinical situations.

[Salivary level of lipid peroxidation products as a predictor of dental implantation complications].

The aim of the study was to elucidate of changes in the level of lipid peroxidation products in saliva for the development of a method for the early diagnosis of complications in dental implantation. The study included 53 patients with complications of implant treatment, 31 patients with a safe outcome of dental implantation, and 13 clinically healthy individuals. In the saliva obtained at the stage of preparation for dental implantation, the content of products of lipid peroxidation was determined.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients electronic register analysis: the effectiveness of patient's dynamic follow up and evaluation of treatment program.

Aim: The aim of the study. To estimate the effectiveness of clinical patients register implementation as well as to analyze different treatment and prophylactic programs on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients' structure.

Materials And Methods: The COPD patient's register consists of 4257 cases.

[Family History of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Early Development of Acute Coronary Syndrome].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to analyze clinical features of patients with premature acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in relation to family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

Materials And Methods: Of 2832 patients included in ORACUL 1 and ORACUL 2 multicenter observational trials 512 pts who developed premature ACS (≤55 years for men, ≤60 years for women) and had known family history and LDL level were selected for this study. Of these patients 297 had positive family history (51 with FH, 246 no FH), 215 had negative family history.

[Risk of Stroke After Exacerbation of Ischemic Heart Disease: Data of 3‑Years Follow-up].

Purpose: to analyze possible associations of clinical and genetic factors with development of ischemic stroke after exacerbation of ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Materials And Methods: The Russian multicenter study aimed at assessment of risk of unfavorable outcomes after exacerbation of IHD "Exacerbation of IHD: logical probabilistic ways to course prognostication for optimization of treatment" (meaning of Cyrillic acronym - oracle) was conducted in 16 centers of 7 cities in Russia. We included into the study 1 208 patients with unstable angina and ST-elevation or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI).
