Дослідження фармакодинаміки водного та спиртового екстрактів ласкавця золотистого

Drug-induced liver injury has approximately 10 percent of adverse effects associated with pharmacotherapy. This issue is particularly important to pediatrics. The multifactorial pathogenesis of the liver injury identifies the prospects of finding new hepatoprotectors of the plant origin with a wide spectrum of the pharmacological activity. Bupleurum aureum (hare’s ear) has long been used in folk medicine for the liver diseases treatment. This plant has a choleretic, wound-healing, and tonic effect. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Bupleurum aureum contain a large amount of flavonoids (quercetin, isorhamnetin, rutin, narcissine), tannins and phytosterols. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential hepatoprotective and membrane-stabilizing effects of herbal extracts of the aerial part of Bupleurum Aureum on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatitis in vivo. The study of pharmacodynamics of alcoholic and aqueous extracts from Bupleurum aureum Fisch. was carried out under conditions of the rats’ acute experimental hepatitis caused by tetrachloromethane. It has been found that prophylactic introduction of extracts of the aerial part of Bupleurum Aureum to rats restores the bile secretion and synthetic function of the liver. It has been determined that the herbal extracts studied have hepatoprotective and membrane protective properties. High effectiveness and a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties of extracts of Bupleurum Aureum can be described by their chemical composition. The alcoholic extract of Bupleurum aureum has been found to possess the maximum efficiency. This extract is not inferior to found reference drugs “Silibor” and “Quercetine”.Лекарственные поражения печени составляют 10% от побочных реакций, связанных с применением фармакологических средств. Особенно актуальной эта проблема является для педиатрии. Многофакторность патогенеза поражений печени определяет перспективность поиска новых гепатопротекторов среди лекарственных растений, которые проявляют широкий спектр фармакологической активности. Одним из таких растений является володушка золотистая (Bupleurum aureum Fisch.), которая издавна применяется в народной медицине для лечения заболеваний печени, оказывает желчегонное, ранозаживляющее и тонизирующее действие. Объектом исследования стали водный и спиртовый экстракты травы володушки золотистой, которые в своем составе содержат флавоноиды (кверцетин, рутин, изорамнетин, нарциссин), дубильные вещества и фито- стерин, что позволяет предположить наличие у экстрактов гепатопротекторного действия. На крысах с острым тетрахлорметановым гепатитом проведено изучение фармакодинамики водного и спиртового экстрактов володушки золотистой. Установлено, что при профилактическом введении экстракты володушки золотистой оказывают гепатопротекторные свойства: восстанавливают желчесекреторную и синтетическую функцию печени, а также мембранопротекторное действие. Профилактическое введение водного и спиртового экстрактов в различной степени способствовало снижению проявлений гепатотоксичности тетрахлорметана (ТХМ). На фоне применения средства у крыс восстанавливалась скорость секреции желчи, ее литогенные свойства, о чем свидетельствует нормализация холатохолестеринового коэффициента. Однако, массовый коэффициент печени оставался на уровне животных из группы положительного контроля. Наибольшая эффективность была выявлена у спиртового экстракта володушки золотистой, который по выраженности действия не уступал препаратам сравнения гранулам «Кверцетин» и капсулам «Силибор».Ураження печінки ліками складають 10% від побічних реакцій, пов’язаних із застосуванням фармакологічних засобів. Особливо актуальною ця проблема є для педіатрії. Багатофакторність патогенезу уражень печінки визначає перспективність пошуку нових гепатопротекторів серед лікарських рослин, які виявляють широкий спектр фармакологічної дії. Однією з таких рослин є ласкавець золотистий (Bupleurum aureum Fisch.), який здавна застосовується в народній медицині для лікування захворювань печінки, виявляє жовчогінну, ранозагоювальну та тонізуючу дію. Об’єктом дослідження стали водний та спиртовий екстракти з трави ласкавця золотистого, які містять флавоноїди (кверцетин, рутин, ізорамнетин, нарцисин), дубильні речовини та фітостерини, що дозволяє припустити наявність у екстрактів гепатопротекторної дії. На щурах з гострим тетрахлорометановим гепатитом проведено вивчення фармакодинамiки водного та спиртового екстрактiв ласкавця золотистого. Встановлено, що за умов профілактичного введення екстракти ласкавця золотистого виявляють гепатопротекторні властивості, а саме відновлюють жовчосекреторну і синтетичну функцію печінки, а також виявляють мембранопротекторну дію. Профілактичне введення водного та спиртового екстрактів не в однаковій мірі сприяло зниженню проявів гепатотоксичності ТХМ. На тлі застосування засобу у щурів відновлювалася швидкість секреції жовчі, її літогенні властивості, про що свідчить нормалізація холатохолестеринового коефіцієнта. Проте масовий коефіцієнт печінки залишався на рівні тварин з групи позитивного контролю. Найбільшу ефективність визначено у спиртового екстракту ласкавця золотистого, який за виразністю дії не поступався препаратам порівняння гранулам «Кверцетин» і капсулам «Силібор»

Microsurgery of chronic laryngeal diseases using fiber optic lasers. A review

Background. The treatment of chronic diseases of the larynx is an urgent issue. Chronic larynx masses account for up to 5570% of the upper respiratory tract proliferative diseases. The incidence of vocal apparatus disorders is stable due to increased load on the vocal apparatus, neuro-emotional stress, non-compliance with voice hygiene (smoking, alcohol consumption), nasal and pharyngeal inflammatory diseases, sensibilization, and gastrointestinal disorders. Dysphonia, voice timbre changes, and vocal fatigue are presented in 712% of otorhinolaryngologist patients. Delayed treatment of chronic larynx diseases can lead to upper respiratory obstruction, reduced exercise and self-care tolerance, and disablement in people with voice and speech professions. Aim. To address current treatment methods for chronic diseases of the larynx. Modern surgical and non-surgical treatments of chronic larynx diseases aim to restore voice quality and respiratory function. Over the past 50 years, laser-assisted phonosurgery has gained popularity due to the many benefits of biological tissue exposure to electromagnetic energy and low rates of intra- and postoperative complications. Materials and methods. The literature review was performed using electronic medical libraries and professional printed papers. According to local and foreign data, laryngeal laser surgery is highly precise, minimally invasive, associated with no blood loss, and highly effective. Historically, CO2 laser has been used for the longest time in laryngeal surgery. Modern medical technology has recently introduced surgical systems with novel technicalities for clinical use. In such devices, the laser energy is transmitted through a flexible optical fiber instead of a mirror system, as in the CO2 laser, which has made new surgical high-energy systems more affordable for equipping medical institutions. Currently, the following fiber-optic laser systems are most often used to treat chronic diseases of the larynx: potassium-titanyl-phosphate, diode laser, and "blue" laser with a wavelength of 445 nm. Results. The literature review and analysis of surgical treatment outcomes using fiber-optic laser devices in patients with chronic larynx diseases showed high safety and effectiveness of modern treatments, providing fast recovery of voice and respiratory function. Conclusion. The development of laser devices, including domestic ones, with new wavelengths, makes it possible to work in contact mode in an inert gas environment, which opens up new opportunities for phonosurgery

Relationship between hyperventilation syndrome and anxiety disorders in women-internally displaced persons with threatened miscarriage

AbstractThe protracted armed conflicts create not only political, legal, socio-economic problems, form the migration flows of the population, but also affect the somatic and mental health of people. Pregnancy is a critical stage in the development of a woman's personality. According to recent studies, about 54% of women during pregnancy experience anxiety, the prevalence of hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) in population is 6-9.5%. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of hyperventilation syndrome and to establish its relationship with anxiety disorders in women - internally displaced persons with threatened miscarriage, living in the Luhansk region to improve treatment measures and prevent obstetric and perinatal complications. Material and Methods. The study included 35 pregnant women - IDPs who were hospitalized regarding threatened miscarriage to the hospitals, located in the Luhansk region (group I). The control group consisted of 30 pregnant women with non-complicated obstetric anamnesis and physiological course of pregnancy with similar gestational period of pregnancy and place of residence. Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess the level of anxiety, the Nijmegen questionnaire was used to identify the manifestations of HVS. Results and discussion. Manifestations of HVS were observed in 8.57 % of patients of group I, in group II were not recorded. Patients of group I had significantly higher levels of state and trait anxiety, HVS. In group I a positive correlations between the indicators of HVS and indicators of state and trait anxiety were found. Conclusions. Antenatal study of levels of anxiety, manifestations of HVS in pregnant women - IDPs with threatened miscarriage will allow to individualize the approach to the management of pregnancy and if needed to timely develop rehabilitating measures, that will contribute to a successful outcome of the pregnancy and affect the health of the mother and her offspring.

A new species, Encyonopsis indonesica, is described from the ancient lake Matano, Sulawesi island, Indonesia. The morphology of this species was studied by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. E. indonesica has a remarkable valve ultrastructure. The valve surface is ornamented with numerous longitudinal siliceous ribs and siliceous verrucae. Valve face delineated from the mantle by a thickened marginal ridge. Raised sterna border the raphe branches. Raphe is distinctly undulate with distal ends hooked strongly to the ventral side. The only similar species to E. indonesica is Amphora dissimilis described from New Caledonia. Comparison of both taxa is given and A. dissimilis is transferred to Encyonopsis. The taxonomic placement of both taxa is evaluated, and the phenomenon of external siliceous ornamentation is discussed. </div

Colloidal particles at a nematic-isotropic interface: effects of confinement

When captured by a flat nematic-isotropic interface, colloidal particles can be dragged by it. As a result spatially periodic structures may appear, with the period depending on a particle mass, size, and interface velocity~\cite{west.jl:2002}. If liquid crystal is sandwiched between two substrates, the interface takes a wedge-like shape, accommodating the interface-substrate contact angle and minimizing the director distortions on its nematic side. Correspondingly, particles move along complex trajectories: they are first captured by the interface and then `glide' towards its vertex point. Our experiments quantify this scenario, and numerical minimization of the Landau-de Gennes free energy allow for a qualitative description of the interfacial structure and the drag force.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figure
