[Clinical cases of microscopic colitis: Diagnosis and treatment issues. Case report].

Currently, there is an increase in the incidence of microscopic colitis. There are difficulties in diagnosing this disease due to the variability of histological signs, variability of morphological changes in the mucous membrane of the colon in different parts of the colon, and the combination in one patient of not only various forms of microscopic colitis, but also other intestinal diseases. The article describes the differential diagnosis, an example of its staging and successful treatment of various forms of microscopic colitis with budesonide (two clinical cases presented).

[CYP2D6 gene polymorphic markers role in determining the optimal treatment tactics for portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis].

AIM: To study the polymorphic markers CYP2D6*4 (G1846A, rs3892097), CYP2D6*6 (T1707del, rs5030655), CYP2D6*10 (C100T, rs1065852), CYP2D6*41 (G2988A, rs28371725) and CYP2D6*3 (A2549del, rs4986774) role in treatment optimization of portal hypertension with propranolol in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 patients with LC who received propranolol therapy at a daily dose of 30 mg for 14 days. The efficacy of treatment was assessed by ultrasonography measuring the linear blood flow velocity of portal vein. Genotyping of CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*6, CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*41 and CYP2D6*3 was carried out by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Evaluation of the CYP2D6 activity was carried out by determining the ratio of pinoline and its metabolite concentration in morning urine using high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Positive hemodynamics in the form of any increase in the mean linear blood flow velocity of the portal vein compared to baseline was observed in 41 patients. Portal vein mean linear blood flow rate increased from 10.43.9 to 14.74.3 cm/s (p0.001). Of these, 29 patients showed an increase in this indicator by 20% from the initial one with a dynamic of 5.5 cm/s (p0.001). The regression analysis constructed by us revealed the presence of a statistically significant effect of the CYP2D6 gene polymorphic marker G1846A carriage on the propranolol therapeutic effect (p0.05). There was no statistically significant effect of polymorphic markers T1707del, C100T, G2988A, and A2549del of the CYP2D6 gene (p0.05). No convincing reliable dependence of CYP2D6 activity on the severity of LC was revealed (p0.05). CONCLUSION: An association was found between CYP2D6 gene polymorphic marker G1846A carriage and the hemodynamic effect of propranolol in patients with LC of the Russian population. There is a more significant positive dynamics of manifestations of portal hypertension on the background of propranolol therapy in carriers of the homozygous GG CYP2D6*4 genotype, in contrast to patients with the heterozygous GA genotype. Based on the results of the study, an algorithm has been developed for personalizing the treatment of patients with LC with nonselective b-adrenergic blockers using the method of CYP2D6 genotyping. Carriage of polymorphic markers T1707del, C100T, G2988A and A2549del gene CYP2D6 does not affect the effectiveness of propranolol therapy in patients with LC.

[Pages from the history of therapeutic schools of the Central Institute for Improvement of Doctors - Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Professional Education].

In the 1930s, therapeutic scientific and pedagogical schools were formed at the Central Institute for Advanced Training of Physicians: Cardiology School of prof. Dmitry D. Pletnev, School of Clinical Hematology and Emergency Care of prof. Alexander N. Kryukov, School of Dietetics and Gastroenterology of prof. Manuel I. Pevzner and School of Hematology of prof. Joseph A. Kassirsky. 2022 marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of an outstanding therapist, academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Major General of the Medical Service, prof. Miron S. Vovsi. Along with the fact that M.S. Vovsi belongs to the scientific and pedagogical school of cardiology of prof. D.D. Pletnev, he managed to create his own. M.S. Vovsi is one of the creators of modern military field therapy, expanded the understanding of the pathogenesis of nephritis, pneumonia, coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, he introduced new methods for diagnosing and treating these therapeutic pathologies that have not lost their relevance today.

[All-Russian Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Celiac Disease in Children and Adults]. / Vserossiiskii konsensus po diagnostike i lecheniyu tseliakii u detei i vzroslykh.

The paper presents the All-Russian consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease in children and adults, which has been elaborated by leading experts, such as gastroenterologists and pediatricians of Russia on the basis of the existing Russian and international guidelines. The consensus approved at the 42nd Annual Scientific Session of the Central Research Institute of Gastroenterology on Principles of Evidence-Based Medicine into Clinical Practice (March 2-3, 2016). The consensus is intended for practitioners engaged in the management and treatment of patients with celiac disease. Evidence for the main provisions of the consensus was sought in electronic databases. In making recommendations, the main source was the publications included in the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed. The search depth was 10 years. Recommendations in the preliminary version were reviewed by independent experts. Voting was done by the Delphic polling system.
