Possibilities and features of zero-ischemia nephron-sparing surgery in localized kidney cancer

Kidney cancer (KCa) is one of the greatest challenges in oncological urology due to the increase in morbidity and mortality rates annually. In the treatment of KCa, preservation of renal function is an important objective, in addition to achieving oncological results. The article presents the experience of treatment of 175 KCa-patients of pT1a – T2aN0M0 stages, who underwent nephron-saving surgery (NSS) with preventive hemostatic sutures. Functional outcomes of NSS were studied in the groups without cross-linking (group 1; n = 150) and with cross-linking of the renal pedicle (group 2; n = 25). Kidney resection with prophylactic suturing has been shown to allow removal of a tumour of almost any localisation. By avoiding cross-linking of the renal pedicle during surgery, post-ischemic changes in the renal parenchyma are minimised. Thus, one month after surgery, the perfusion indexes in groups 1 & 2 were 45.2 ± 3.0% vs 35.5 ± 3.3%; renal indexes were 44.8 ± 2.4% vs 39.1 ± 1.4%; areas of the functioning parenchyma were 52.0 ± 10.0% vs 35.0 ± 9.0%, respectively

Wireless power transfer in magnetic resonance imaging at a higher-order mode of a birdcage coil

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a crucial tool for medical visualization. In many cases, performing a scanning procedure requires the use of additional equipment, which can be powered by wires as well as via wireless power transfer (WPT) or wireless energy harvesting. In this Letter, we propose a novel scheme for WPT that uses a higher-order mode of the MRI scanner's birdcage coil for energy transmission. In contrast to the existing WPT solutions, our approach does not require additional transmitting coils. Compared to the energy harvesting, the proposed method allows supplying significantly more power. We perform numerical simulations demonstrating that one can use the fundamental mode of the birdcage coil to perform a scanning procedure while transmitting the energy to the receiver at a higher-order mode without any interference with the scanning signal or violation of safety constraints, as guaranteed by the mode structure of the birdcage. Also, we evaluate the specific absorption rate along with the energy transfer efficiency and verify our numerical model by a direct comparison with an experimental setup featuring a birdcage coil of a 1.5T MRI scanner.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures + Supplementary Material 10 pages, 7 figure

Определение полисорбата 80 в биофармацевтических препаратах с помощью оптимизированной колориметрической методики

Objectives. We hereby describe an improvement of a previously developed quantification technique for polysorbate 80 in biopharmaceutical formulations (darbepoetin alfa and eculizumab) and report the validation of the new approach.Methods. Polysorbate was isolated from analyte samples by protein precipitation using an organic solvent, followed by supernatant evaporation in vacuum. Polysorbate was derivatized using a ferric thiocyanate reagent and extracted into an organic phase; the relevant optical density measurements were performed.Results. We established the optimal conditions for each step of the analysis procedure. The accuracy was 97–102% in the tested analytical range, the relative standard deviation did not exceed 5%, and the limit of quantification was 0.01 mg/mL.Conclusions. The reported approach is highly sensitive; polysorbate isolation and quantification do not depend on the matrix or, most importantly, the protein.Цели. В данной работе была усовершенствована ранее разработанная методика определения полисорбата 80 в биотехнологических препаратах (дарбэпоэтин альфа, экулизумаб), а также проведена ее валидация.Методы. Полисорбат извлекали из пробы осаждением белка органическим растворителем, затем выпаривали супернатант в вакууме. Полисорбат дериватизировали оптимизированным железо–тиоцианатным реагентом; дериват экстрагировали в слой органического растворителя и измеряли оптическую плотность.Результаты. Были установлены оптимальные условия для каждой стадии методики. Правильность находится в диапазоне степени извлечения 97–102%, относительное стандартное отклонение составляет не более 5%, предел количественного определения методики 0.01 мг/мл.Выводы. Представленная методика имеет высокую чувствительность. Извлечение и определение полисорбата не зависят от матрикса пробы – прежде всего, от присутствующего белка

Peculiarities of construction of local self-government models in the modern slavic states

The peculiarities of construction of local self-government models in the modern Slavic States, which in the 90-s of XX century abandoned the socialist path of development, – have been examined. The aim of the study is to identify specific features and common approaches to the construction of local self-government system, based on the analysis of the practice of local self-government institutions of the Slavic States and the provisions of the Constitutions of the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Poland, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Ukraine, the Republic of Croatia, the Russian Federation, etc.The organizational forms of local self-government and the particularities of the implementation of local issues, taking into account national traditions, – have been analyzed. In this connection, the majority of modern Slavic States recognizes and guarantees local self-government as the most important constitutional value and institution of the people’s right. It has been determined, that the list of issues of local importance mainly affects the areas of urban planning, municipal activities, culture, sports, social protection of the population and children, preschool education, healthcare, approval of municipal programs of economic development, local budgets, taxes and fees, the appointment of local referendums, etc. However, there there is a number of countries, in which local government issues are not specified in the Constitution. Among the criteria for the difference between the models of local self-government are the following: the list of issues of local importance and competence of local self-government bodies; relations with public authorities and the degree of freedom of local self-government from the state; territorial organization of local self-government, etc.It has been concluded, that the most common form of interaction between public authorities and local self-government for the Slavic states at the beginning of the XXI century, was the Zemstvo-state model, that takes into account the mutual interests of a sovereign power and the population, living within certain territorial communities

Ultra-Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery in Treatment of Less than 2 cm Kidney Stones: Comparative Efficacy and Safety

Background. Renal stones of ≤ 2cm size occur most commonly, with several treatment options currently available that include remote shockwave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The choice of treatment for ≤ 2 cm kidney stones remains a relevant and hotly debated issue.Aim. A study of the efficacy, safety, advantages and disadvantages of ultra-mini percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (ultra-mini PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in treatment of ≤ 2 cm kidney stones.Materials and methods. Treatment outcomes in urology patients of the Botkin Hospital were analysed retrospectively for years 2017–2022. The patients were divided between cohorts: cohort 1 consisted of patients who underwent ultra-mini PCNL; cohort 2 included 41 patients with RIRS.Results and discussion. The incidence of complete stone absence on the day after surgery was significantly higher in cohort 1 (39; 92.8 %) vs. 2 (33; 80.4 %). Mean operation time was significantly less in cohort 1 (55 [30–80] min) vs. 2 (78 [30–125] min). Mean hospital stay did not differ significantly between the cohorts: 3 (1–5) vs. 2.8 (2–4) days in cohorts 1 and 2, respectively. Haematuria was statistically more severe in cohort 1 (7 cases; 16.6 %) vs. 2 (4 cases; 9.7 %); mean postoperative haemoglobin decrease was also significantly higher in cohort 1 (11.6) vs. 2 (6.4 g/L).Conclusion. Both ultra-mini PCNL and RIRS are effective, safe and complementary procedures in treatment for ≤2 cm renal stones. Ultra-mini PCNL is more effective over RIRS in terms of single-intervention complete stone removal and shorter operation time, whereas the overall complications rate did not significantly differ between cohorts
