Comparative assessment of endovideosurgical accesses in treatment of congenital hydronefrosis in children

Purpose. Recently published dates has confirmed that the most widespread methods of treatment primary hydronephrosis in children are endovideosurgical. But there are no significant objective criteria for choosing the optimal access: transperitoneal or retroperitoneal. We have evaluated an outcome of laparoscopic treatment hydronephrosis utilizing different access. Material and methods. Since 2008 to 2017 331 children (95 girls, 236 boys) with congenital hydronephrosis were underwent 342 endovideoscopic operations. Mean age 3.56 years (range 3m – 18 years). In 305 children was used transperitoneal access (TPA) and in 26 – retroperitoneal (RPA). We used the technique of dismembered pyeloplasty by Anderson-Hynes. Drainage was performed by an antegrade or retrograde JJ stent. Follow-up ultrasound was performed on 2 and 5 days after the operation. The ureteral stent was removed at 6-8 weeks after the operation. The continuance of hospitalization was 5-7 day. Results. 296 patients : 297 with TPA (mean age 4,8 years) and 25 with RPA(mean age 1,9 years) undergoing pyeloplasty were examined after 1-3-6-12 months. The duration of the operation with TPA was 80 ± 40 minutes, and with RPA - 110 ± 40 minutes (p <0,05). No UTI were seen. There was no difference in renal pelvis diameter (% improvement) between the two groups (TPA- 66% and 62% in RPA; p=0,6). 3 patients (1,1%) with TPA required re-intervention (2 ps -stent replacement and 1p - re-operation ), no patients with RPA required re-operation. Conclussion. Dispite of the good clinical outcome of treatment with difference accesses and statistical significance the results, the absence peritoneal injury and probability urinary extravasation make RPA in congenital hydronephrosis optimal in young children

The Effectiveness of Rebamipide in Combined Treatment of Patients with Peptic Ulcer of the Stomach and Duodenum

Introduction. The place of rebamipide in treatment regimens of erosive and ulcerative Helicobacter pylori, associated with diseases of the stomach and duodenum, has not been fully investigated. The aim of the study is to іnvestigate the effectiveness of rebamipide in treatment of patients with peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum. Materials and methods. Were examined and treated 62 patients with peptic ulcer of the duodenum. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the treatment regimen. Patients of the first group (30 people) received conventional triple therapy: amoxicillin 1000.0 mg, clarithromycin 500.0 mg twice daily and omeprazole 20.0 mg twice daily for 10 days. The patients of the second groups (32 people) were additionally given rebamipide 100.0 mg three times a day for 10 days to conventional AHBT (amoxicillin 1000.0 mg, clarithromycin 500.0 mg twice daily and omeprazole 20.0 mg twice daily for 10 days). The Statistical analysis of the results was performed on a PC using software packages license “Microsoft Excel 2007” (Microsoft), “Statistica® 6.0” (StatSoft Inc., USA). Results of the investigation and their discussion. Thus the using of a standart AHBT was resulted to healing ulcers in 79.2 % of cases, the AHBT with the added rebamipide – in 85.2 %. The effectiveness at healing duodenal erosions in the treatment of a standart AHBT was 81.3%, AHBT with added rebamipide – 83.3 %. Helicobacter pylori eradication occurred in 76.7 % of patients in the first group and in 81.3 % of patients in the second group. Adding rebamipide to AHBT has not significantly affected on eradication. On the other hand, the epithelization of erosions and ulcers is took place against the background of the impact of such adverse factors as the presence of the signs of antral gastritis, esophagitis, duodenitis in a significant number of patients of both groups. It was found the increased frequency of duodenitis at control esophagogastroduodenofibroscopy in the patients of the second group (p ˂ 0.01). Also marked increase in the frequency of the duodenogastal reflux (DGR) during the AHBT treatment with rebamipide at 30.0 % and standard AHBT at 88.9 %. Conclusions. The positive aspects of combined treatment with the inclusion rebamipide are: relief of pain, a positive impact on the epithelization of erosions and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, lower incidence of DGR after treatment. Among the negative points are reducing the frequency esophagitis and insufficiency of cardia in patients only at 25.0 %, and presence of duodenitis more than 60.0 % of patients after treatment

The effect of prolonged oxygen therapy on the clinical course of the disease and diaphragm function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypoxemic respiratory failure (three-year follow-up)

The objective: to determine the effect of prolonged oxygen therapy (POT) on changes in the clinical and functional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe hypoxemic chronic respiratory failure.Subjects and methods. 30 patients with COPD were examined during the period of remission of the disease, the average age was 64.8 ± 6.9 years. After the initial examination, patients were prescribed POT at home for 16 hours/day. As a basic therapy, all patients received a combined bronchodilator of long-acting indacaterol/glycopyrronium at a dose of 110/50 μg once a day in combination with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) at the dose of 200-400 μg/day. The patients were examined repeatedly 3 times with a 1-year interval. Clinical indicators, gas composition of arterial blood, results of spirometry and ultrasound examination of the diaphragm were evaluated.Results. Initially, disorders of the functional state of the diaphragm were detected in COPD patients with hypoxemia (decrease in the thickening fraction and relaxation rate). After the first year of using POT, an increase in the rates of contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm muscle under tidal respiration was observed. On the 2nd and 3rd year of using POT, it was noted that indicators of the functional state of the diaphragm stabilized. As a result of POT, the number of exacerbations went down and mortality in COPD patients with hypoxemia decreased. Against the background of basic therapy with indacaterol/glycopyrronium in combination with low doses of BDP, no adverse events were observed for the entire period of follow-up.Conclusions. POT in combination with a double long-acting bronchodilator and low-dose inhaled glucocorticosteroids in COPD patients with hypoxemic chronic respiratory failure helps to reduce dyspnea, the number of severe exacerbations, as well as improve pulmonary ventilation functions, blood gas content, and the diaphragm function during the first year of its use. Further, the indicators continued to stabilize

Correction of microbiocenosis of female reproductive tract during the late stage of pregnancy

Pobedi str., 85, Belgorod, Russia, 308024 Bacteriological examination of cervical canal at 34 women in 38—40 weeks of gestation has been made before and after intravaginal usage of Gynoflor (“Medinova”, Switzerland), containing 50 mg of Lactobacillus acidophilius and 0,03 mg of estriol. It is established, that after usage of Gynoflor significant decrease of number of patients with Staphylococcus epidermidis and Peptococcus has been observed. Furthermore, lowering of number of women with other opportunistic bacteria and yeasts ( Staphylococcus aureus , Klebsiella pneumonia , Enterococcus , Enterobacter , Streptococcus , Bacteroides , Candida albicans ) has been appeared. It was accompanied with decrease of colony forming units number among all opportunistic species
