Technologically-Treated Polyclonal Affinity-Purified Antibodies to the Tumor Necrosis Factor-α, Brain Specific S-100 Protein and Histamine in Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia: Results of the Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kolofort® (a complex medicine containing technologically processed forms of antibodies to S-100 protein, tumor necrosis factor-α and histamine) in the management of functional dyspepsia (FD) in outpatient clinical practice.Methods: Outpatients (N = 309) at the age of 18–45 in whom FD was diagnosed according to the Rome IV criteria were enrolled in a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomized in two groups receiving Kolofort® or placebo 2 tablets tid for 8 weeks. The primary endpoint of the study was a change in the FD symptoms severity score according to the Gastrointestinal symptom score (GIS) at week 8. ITT and [PP] analysis were performed.Results: at week 8 the reduction in GIS sum score was observed in Kolofort® group and placebo group (by 7.2 ± 3.3 [7.2 ± 3.4] and 6.3 ± 4.6 [6.2 ± 4.5], respectively, p = 0.041 [0.039]). The proportion of cases with GIS score reduction by ≥4 was 88,1 % [88.6 %] and 79.1 % [79.6 %] in Kolofort® group and placebo group, respectively (p = 0.046 [p = 0.051]). None of the patients in Kolofort® group had progression of FD symptoms or required additional therapy. There were 29 adverse events (AEs) recorded in 25 patients including 16 cases in 13 (8.6 %) patients in Kolofort® group and 13 AEs in 12 (7.6 %) patients in placebo group.Conclusion: the clinical trial demonstrates the positive effect of Kolofort® in FD with a favorable safety profile

Improved Measurement of the K+ to pi+ nu nubar Branching Ratio

An additional event near the upper kinematic limit for K+ to pi+ nu nubar has been observed by Experiment E949 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combining previously reported and new data, the branching ratio is B(K+ to pi+ nu nubar)= 1.47 (+1.30, - 0.89) x 10-10 based on three events observed in the pion momentum region 211<P<229 MeV/c. At the measured central value of the branching ratio, the additional event had a signal-to-background ratio of 0.9

Practical Recommendation of the Scientific Сommunity for Human Microbiome Research (CHMR) and the Russian Gastroenterological Association (RGA) on Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Adults

Aim. To optimize the choice of treatment strategies by physicians and gastroenterologists to improve treatment and prevention of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in adults.Key points. SIBO is a condition characterized by an increased amount and/or abnormal composition of the microbiota in the small intestine. Clinically, the syndrome is manifested by nonspecific gastroenterological complaints and the development of malabsorption syndrome. Most often, SIBO is associated with various chronic non- infectious diseases (both diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and the cardiovascular system and the neuromuscular apparatus) and can affect the severity of their symptoms. Specific methods for diagnosing SIBO are the culture method and breath tests. The main approaches to the treatment of SIBO include the elimination of the underlying cause of its occurrence, the use of antibacterial drugs and adherence to dietary recommendations (elemental diet).Conclusion. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is common in patients with various diseases, but has non-specific manifestations, so proper diagnosis of this condition is required. SIBO therapy involves prescription of antibacterial agents, the most studied of which is the non-absorbable antibiotic rifaximin-α

Measurements of π±\pi^\pm, K±^\pm, p and pˉ\bar{\textrm{p}} spectra in proton-proton interactions at 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c with the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS

Measurements of inclusive spectra and mean multiplicities of $\pi^\pm$, K$^\pm$, p and $\bar{\textrm{p}}$ produced in inelastic p+p interactions at incident projectile momenta of 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c ($\sqrt{s} =$ 6.3, 7.7, 8.8, 12.3 and 17.3 GeV, respectively) were performed at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron using the large acceptance NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer. Spectra are presented as function of rapidity and transverse momentum and are compared to predictions of current models. The measurements serve as the baseline in the NA61/SHINE study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter

Digestive Disease Mortality Dynamics During New Coronavirus Infection Pandemic in Different Subjects of Russian Federation

Aim. An analysis of digestive disease mortality dynamics in different subjects of the Russian Federation in course of the new coronavirus infection pandemic.Key points. In most subjects of the Russian Federation, the first half of 2021 enduring the COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed a higher overall mortality from digestive diseases and from peptic ulcer, liver and pancreatic illnesses compared to the same period in 2020. This situation may have roots in both the adverse impact of coronavirus infection on pre-existing digestive diseases and shortages in providing specialty medical aid to gastroenterological patients during the pandemic. Improved outpatient care and remote counselling, as well as successful educational measures, may reduce gastroenterological disease-associated mortality.Conclusion. Most regions of Russia have registered a growing mortality from digestive diseases at the new coronavirus infection pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 adverse impact on illness progression, as well as imposed difficulties in providing specialty medical aid

Macrophage phenotype after human refluxate exposure, esophageal dysmotility and their correlation with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Aim of the study. To investigate the esophageal dysmotility, changes in the esophageal mucosa and the immune response depending on the type of refluxate in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients.Material and methods. 68 patients with GERD were recruited: 28 (14 men; mean age, 45.74 ± 2.23 years) nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), 22 (15 men; mean age, 45.0 ± 3.24 years) erosive reflux disease (EE), 18 (13 men; mean age, 47.22 ± 2.95) Barrett’s Esophagus (BE). GERD patients underwent esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) with a 22-channel water-perfused catheter and Solar GI system (Medical Measurements Systems, Enschede, the Netherlands), 24-hour impedance and pH monitoring using the Ohmega Ambulatory Impedance pH Recorder (Medical Measurements Systems). We analyzed receptor characteristics of monocyte-derived macrophages in all groups of patients.Results. On HRM examination, we showed that DCI (distal contractile integral) in NERD patients was higher than in EE (p = 0.088) and BE (p = 0.076), also LES RP (lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure) in NERD patients was higher than in EE (p = 0.039) and BE (p = 0.012). The analysis of reflux characteristics showed that the total reflux time with pH &lt; 4 for BE patients was longer than that for NERD and EE patients. An analysis of receptor characteristics of monocyte-derived macrophages showed the prevalence of CD25 and CD80 expression in all groups of patients.Conclusion. An analysis of the phenotype of macrophages derived from blood monocytes of GERD patients revealed a prevalence of М1 macrophages that was typical for the Th1 type of immune response. The degree of esophageal dysmotility was correlated with GERD severity and type

Clinical Recommendations of the Russian Scientific Liver Society and Russian Gastroenterological Association on Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Fibrosis, Cirrhosis and Their Complications

Aim. Current clinical recommendations are intended to supply gastroenterologists, physicians and general practitioners with modern methods for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and fibrosis.Key points. Liver fibrosis develops with connective tissue accumulation in liver in the outcome of various chronic diseases, including alcohol misuse, viral hepatitises, autoimmune and more rare hereditary liver diseases. Liver cirrhosis is the final stage of most chronic diffuse liver diseases. The recommendations present current opinions on pathogenesis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, principles of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of their main complications: hepatic encephalopathy, oesophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, acute kidney injury/hepatorenal syndrome, infectious complications (i.a. spontaneous bacterial peritonitis), hyponatraemia, pulmonary complications, etc.Conclusion. Timely diagnosis and adequate therapy in cirrhosis can prevent life-threatening complications and improve the patients’ prognosis and quality of life
