Assessment of feasibility of projects for creating information and management systems of the electric power complex under conditions of uncertainty

Evaluating the feasibility of implementing proposed projects for creating information management systems (IMS) for industrial facilities is a complex procedure due to the uncertainty surrounding the accurate data about the prepared project during its implementation. Therefore, the application of decision support methods, based on soft computing and methodology, is deemed appropriate to address the difficulties arising from non-factors (uncertainty, non-determinism) in the evaluation of the implementation of proposed projects for IMS creation. Consequently, the use of non-deterministic interval methods has been proposed for the evaluation of the suitability of project proposals for creating information management systems under conditions of interval non-determinism, highlighting its advantages

Dependence of biological activities of some chalcone derivatives from the molecular structure

192-196The dependence of antibacterial and antifungal activity of five synthesized compounds from the molecular structure are reported. The synthesized compounds at different dynamic conditions have demonstrated poor antifungal, but good antibacterial activities

PROSPECTS OF NEPHROPROTECTION AGAINST TYPE 2 DIABETES USING THE DPP-4 INHIBITOR VILDAGLIPTIN

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), which increases morbidity and mortality. Accumulated evidence, mostly experimental ones that DPP-4 inhibitors have non-glycemic tissue effects including renal protection. Clinical data confirming these effects are insufficient. This makes it relevant to study the influence of iDPP-4 on the renal function in patients with Type 2 diabetes.To study the effects of iDPP vildagliptin on glycemic, metabolic and renal parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes with CKD 1–2 receiving insulin therapy 44 patients were randomized to continue therapy with insulin or insulin + vildagliptin at a dose of 50 mg/day, with the evaluation of results in 6 months.In group of vildagliptin therapy a significant decrease of HbA1c, postprandial glycemia, diastolic blood pressure, HOMA-IR, insulin demand and a reduction in the frequency of hypoglycemia occurred. The positive dynamics of indicators of glomerular functions of the kidney were noted in this group - a significant reduction in albuminuria and a significant increase in eGFR by cystatin C and decreased urinary excretion of type IV collagen. The findings suggest the positive effect of vildagliptin on metabolic status and indicators of glycaemia and hemodynamics as earlier confirmed in clinical studies and the ability of vildagliptin independent from glycemic effects to slow the development of glomerular dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes and the initial manifestations of DN
