Nonel approaches in the field of gastric cancer surgical treatment
The aim of the study: to estimate the impact of different cellular phenotype of gastric tumors on the survival of patients treated according to standard protocols.
Object and methods of research.The work presents the results of a study conducted on the basis of two medical institutions - the National Cancer Institute and the abdominal oncology and surgery department of the Odessa Regional Oncology Center. 221 patients underwent surgery for gastric cancer (GC) in the period 2007-2013. The average age of patients was 60.88 ± 10.5 years, men - 180, women - 41. Of the total number of operated, 143 patients underwent surgery in the amount of gastrectomy, 78 - subtotal distal resection.
Results. All patients included in the study underwent radical surgery. Tumors removed during surgery were examined using histological, cytological, immunohistochemical methods and genetic tests. The obtained results are monitored for the presence/absence of clinical parallels and mathematical correlations. It was concluded that some combinations of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers were effective in separating groups of patients with different biology of gastric cancer.
Conclusions. Performing more advanced operations (including the use of D2 lymph dissections) is the most effective option for surgical treatment of microsatellite-unstable and Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer
Formation of strengthened layers and coatings using hybrid technologies including ultrasonic treatment
The character of fracture of iron based thermal coating during fretting
The character of destruction of thermal coatings during fretting has been investigated. An iron based plasma coating has been tested with oscillation amplitude from 30 to 200 microns. The tests were conducted in air. It has been determined that the main factor influencing the rate of the wear of the coating during fretting corrosion is the size of the coating area involved into the wear process. The coating exhibits high wear resistance when the amplitude of the oscillation is commensurate with the size of the sprayed particles. During destruction of the coating the leading role belongs to fatigue-oxidation processes. The wear of the coating acquires a catastrophic character when coating macro defects - pores and interlayer boundaries - are involved into the wear process
Peculiarities of electronic heat capacity of thulium cuprates in pseudogap state
Precise calorimetric measurements have been carried out in the 7 - 300 K
temperature range on two ceramic samples of thulium 123 cuprates TmBa2Cu3O6.92
and TmBa2Cu3O6.70. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity was analyzed
in the region where the pseudogap state (PGS) takes place. The lattice
contribution was subtracted from the experimental data. The PGS component has
been obtained by comparing electronic heat capacities of two investigated
samples because the PGS contribution for the 6.92 sample is negligible. The
anomalous behavior of the electronic heat capacity near the temperature
boundary of PGS was found. It is supposed that this anomaly is due to
peculiarities in N(E) function where N is the density of electronic states and
E is the energy of carriers of charge.Comment: 12 pages, 3 Postscript figure

Features of Medical Care Providing to Patients with Digestive Diseases in the Krasnodar Region during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The aim of the study: optimization the medical care provision to patients with diseases of the digestive system (DD) in the Krasnodar Region during the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and methods. The analysis of the features of the DD course in the Krasnodar Region was carried out according to the data of form C 51 “Distribution of the dead by sex, age groups and causes of death” of the Territorial Federal State Statistics Service in the Krasnodar Region, as well as monitoring the quality of medical care for patients with DD for the period from 2019 to 2021 years.Results. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the routing of gastroenterological patients, dispensary observation and preventive measures have undergone some changes. In the structure of total mortality in the Krasnodar Region, mortality from DD was 21.6 % in 2020 and 4.0 % in 2021. The decrease in the growth of mortality rate, including from DD, in the second year of the pandemic is associated with the completed healthcare systems reformatting. The increase in hospital mortality in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and diverticular disease had a significant impact on mortality rates from DD. The decreasing number of hospitalizations was explained due to the conversion of a number of hospitals into hospitals for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. The hospitalization was mainly carried out for emergency indications and patients with a more severe course of the disease. The pandemic has increased the need for telemedicine: 378 tele-consultations on the gastroenterological profile was carried out in the Krasnodar Region in 2021.Conclusion. Healthcare system workload in the Krasnodar Region increased significantly during the coronavirus pandemic that required a number of structural adjustments. In recent times, the regional health care is returning to the planned mode of providing medical care
Phase Composition and Microstructure of Ti-Nb Alloy Produced by Selective Laser Melting
The phase composition and microstructure of Ti-Nb alloy produced from composite titanium and niobium powder by selective laser melting (SLM) was studied. Produced monolayered Ti-Nb alloy enhanced the formation of fine-grained and medium-grained zones with homogeneous element composition of 36-38% Nb mass interval. Alloy phase composition responded to [beta]-alloy substrate phase (grain size was 5-7 pm) and non-equilibrium martensite [alpha]"- phase (grain size was 0.1-0.7 [mu]m). [alpha]"-phase grains were found along [beta]-phase grain boundaries and inside grains, including decreased niobium content. Alloy microhardness varied within 4200-5500 MPa
SERUM LEVEL AND PRODUCTION OF CYTOKINES BY PBMC IN PATIENTS WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS
The рарег presents the results of measurements of cytokine levels in serum and conditioned medium of PBMC cultures from the patients with atopic dermatitis with the exacerbation and remission in comparison with the healthy donors. We have shown that the serum levels of the key cytokines IL-5 and IL-13, proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 and the main Th1 cytokine — IFNγ — were higher compared to healthy donors. In the conditioned media of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in contrast, we have found a significant decrease of the spontaneous secretion of key cytokines IL-10 and IL-17. We have shown that the stimulated secretion of IL-5 and IL-13, IL-12 and INF-γ is significantly reduced in comparison with the control level. Only IL-1β revealed a statistically significant higher level of stimulated secretion without exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. The contemporary therapy has no effect on cytokine production
