Authors: Osadchuk Mikhail A. , Mironova Ekaterina D. , Krylova Iuliia S. , Gulyaev Pavel V. , Akhtyamova Regina A.
Published: March 2024

Aim. To determine the role of the expression of motilin and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in diverticular disease of the large intestine (DD).
Materials and methods. Examined 45 patients with DD. The comparison group consisted of 30 practically healthy people. Patients and healthy people were examined according to a single program, including clinical, instrumental (colonoscopy and ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity and), laboratory (blood glucose, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) and immunomorphological research methods – use of primary antibodies to motilin (PA5-76926, Invitrogen, USA) and VIP (Ab22736, 1:800, Abcam, UK).
Results. For DD, clinical symptoms are characteristic, mainly fit into the manifestations of functional disorders (constipation, pain along the colon, bloating and increased gas formation). In patients with DD, an increase in body mass index, cholesterol and glucose levels was found. In this category of patients, examinations often verify diabetes mellitus (40%), arterial hypertension (64.4%), cholelithiasis (44.4%), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (55.5%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (60%). In the group of patients with DD, a significant decrease in the expression of VIP and motilin in the mucous membrane of the large intestine was recorded compared with the group of healthy people (17.31 vs 34.67; p0.05 and 64.42 vs 76.50; p0.05 respectively).
Conclusion. The obtained results give grounds to conclude that a decrease in the expression of VIP and motilin in the mucosa of the sigmoid colon is accompanied by hypotension of the colon, which directly and indirectly leads to a violation of the regeneration of the mucosa, which leads to the manifestation of DD.

Published: March 2024

Diagnostics of enteropathy with membrane digestion disturbance (EMDD) is based on the evaluation of carbohydrase activity in duodenal mucosa (DM). There is no information about diagnostic value of ileum mucosa (IM) carbohydrases.
Aim. Assess the diagnostic value of carbohydrases activity in mucous membrane of duodenum and distal ileum in patients with EMDD and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Materials and methods. The study includes 12 patients with EMDD, 16 patients with IBS and 12 relatively healthy persons (control group). Study design included analysis of food tolerance and evaluation of activity of sucrase, glucoamylase, maltase and lactase in mucous membrane of duodenum and ileum based on the method of Dahlquist with N.I. Belostotsky modification. Microsoft Office Excel and Statistica 10.0 were used for statistical evaluation of material. Mann–Whitney criterion was used to evaluate the differences between quantitative parameters. The differences were considered to be significant at p0.05. Control group was used for comparison.
Results. In control group the carbohydrases activity in duodenum mucosa was not significantly statistically different from the one in IM. In patients of the IBS group, the activity of glucoamylase and maltase in the IM was significantly higher than in the duodenum: glucoamylase by 2.2 times, maltase by 2 times. In patients with EMDD the activity of glucoamylase, maltase and sucrase in IM is higher than in DM by 5.2, 3.8 and 2 times respectively, which signifies the formation of compensatory reaction of adaptive shift, initially described by A.M. Ugolev in 1985.
Conclusion. The evaluation of carbohydrase activity in IM provides more information about pathogenesis of EMDD and its differential diagnosis with IBS.

Published: March 2024

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common diseases of the digestive tract from the group of disorders of interaction in the gut-brain axis. IBS has a negative impact of on patients' quality of life and the significant social and economic burden of the disease due to the low effectiveness of available treatment strategies, which are only symptomatic, without impacting factors and mechanisms of intestinal dysfunction. From this perspective, it is critical to study the factors contributing to the onset and persistence of IBS symptoms to improve the early diagnosis of the disease and implement targeted prevention technology in at-risk groups. The objective of this paper is to systematize data on the main risk factors for IBS, including hereditary predisposition, stress and psycho-emotional state, diet and eating habits, and acute intestinal infections.

Authors: Kiriukova Mariia A. , Bordin Dmitry S. , Zhukova Liudmila G. , Dubtsova Elena A. , Khatkov Igor E.
Published: March 2024

Background. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) occurs in most patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (PC) and even more often when a tumor is localized in the head of the pancreas. However, insufficient attention is paid to the diagnosis of EPI and assessment of nutritional status, which negatively affects the results of treatment.
Materials and methods. One hundred fifty eight patients with primary diagnosed locally advanced and metastatic PC were included in the retrospective study. We used the calculation of the odds ratio with 95% CI with an assessment of the p value using the Pearson ÷2 test to compare the incidence of clinical and laboratory parameters of nutritional status with values below the lower limit of normal (LLN) depending on the location of the tumor in the pancreas.
Results. Fecal elastase test was performed in only 19 (12%) patients. In this group, the incidence of EPI was 73.6%. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in the minimal sufficient dose was prescribed in 17.1% of the general cohort. The level of hemoglobin, erythrocytes and albumin below the LLN was found in patients with the tumor in the pancreatic head, respectively, 2.742 (95% CI 1.27–5.92), 3.788 (95% CI 1.554–9.232) and 9.767 (95% CI 1.255–76.027) times more often than in patients with cancer in the body-tail of the pancreas. In patients with the tumor in the pancreatic head, the lower levels of hemoglobin (median 125 g/l vs 132 g/l, respectively), erythrocytes (4.19 mil/μl vs 4.51 mil/μl), total protein (69.6 g/l vs 71.5 g/l), and albumin (40.1 g/l vs 42 g/l), as well as the values of nutritional indices: prognostic nutritional index, nutritional risk index, hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet ratio index, and prognostic immune nutritional index were observed.
Conclusion. Diagnosis and treatment of EPI remains inadequately attended. The values of nutritional status parameters in patients with PC in the head are lower than in patients with a tumor in the body-tail of the pancreas, which reflects the contribution of EPI.

Background. Symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular colon disease (SNDCD) is a common condition that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. One of the main therapeutic targets in SNDCD is the microbiota.
Aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of microbiocenosis-based therapy (prebiotic Mucofalk + metabiotic Zakofalk) in relieving symptoms of SNDCD and maintaining asymptomatic remission.
Materials and methods. The study included 60 patients with clinically apparent SNDCD. For 3 months, they were treated with Mukofalk and Zakofalk and then followed up for another 3 months. Parameters such as treatment efficacy, satisfaction and compliance were evaluated, as well as change of short-chain fatty acids in feces using gas-liquid chromatography was measured.
Results. A statistically significant improvement of all assessed symptoms (abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, tenesmus) was observed after 3 months of therapy. Relapse of abdominal pain and bowel movement disorders (constipation) after completion of therapy were observed in 7 (11.6%) subjects. The compliance study showed that more than 80% of the required number of sachets/tablets was taken by more than 80% of patients. At the end of follow-up, 49 (81.7%) patients rated their outcomes as "excellent" and 11 (18.3%) as "good". During treatment, there was a significant tendency to increase the absolute content of butyric acid in feces.
Conclusion. Microbiocenosis-based therapy with the prebiotic Mukofalk and the metabiotic Zakofalk is effective and safe for treating SNDCD and preventing the recurrence of symptoms and disease complications. The therapy is associated with excellent and good satisfaction and a high compliance to treatment. Therapy with Mukofalk and Zakofalk resulted in the normalization of the intestinal microbiota.
Multifactorial effects of Lactobacillus paracasei DG in the regulation of the microbial-tissue complex: A review
Authors: Zakharenko Sergey M.
Published: March 2024

The human gut microbiome is a complex biological system whose functions and metabolic processes are the result of multiple interactions between microbial groups. Within these groups and between them, specific relationships are formed that allow duplicating and reserving individual functions, systematically managing their implementation and, in general, ensuring the reliable functioning of the entire microbiome, including in the interests of the host macroorganism. The functional and metabolic microbial nucleus plays a crucial role in the functioning of microbiocenosis as a whole system. Due to its natural properties, the modern probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei DG performs the function of a conductor of the microbiocenosis of the gastrointestinal tract, regulating the metabolic activity of the intestinal normoflora, realizing immunotropic effects due to the production of exopolysaccharides, including previously unknown exopolysaccharides b, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, exerting antiviral action, exerting distant effects against microbiocenoses of other ecological niches.

Published: March 2024

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) following spinal fusion surgery may lead to patient morbidity, increased treatment costs, and possible recurrent medical interventions. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has demonstrated promise in the management of SSI as well as assisting in surgical wound healing. This literature review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NPWT as a prophylactic, and treatment of SSI in spinal fusion surgery. The literature review method is conducted by searching research articles comparing NPWT and Standard Wound Dressing (SWD) effectiveness with the relevant cohort or Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research design using Embase, Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The application treads of NPWT for surgical wounds in spinal fusion surgery were also described. The research articles were limited from 2017 to 2022. Six articles fit in criteria of inclusion, three articles were prophylactic management research, and the others were the management of treatment research. Analysis of the articles indicated that NPWT as prophylactic could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative surgical site infections. NPWT as treatment had less time duration, lower risk of sponge fragment retainment, and fewer procedures to achieve wound closure in spinal fusion surgery. There is currently a lack of strong clinical evidence of its efficacy, so rigorous randomized prospective clinical trials are needed.

Authors: Mahfudhoh Mahfudhoh , Saniya Saasa , Kohar Ahmad Wachidul
Published: March 2024

This study aims to describe the process of constructing new concepts for students with introverted and extroverted personalities. The research subjects were two students of grade VI in one of the elementary schools with different personalities (introverts and extroverts). Data collection techniques using personality test questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Analysis of the data from the proportion concept test results refers to the APOS indicator (Action, Process, Object, Schema). The results showed that there were differences between introverted and extroverted students in the process of constructing students' new concepts on proportion concept. At the Action stage, they can solve problems related to the concept of worth comparison. The two subjects used a similar strategy, namely the multiplication operation. At the Process stage, introverted subjects can interpret the value comparison problem into various representations, both tables and graphs, and can explain its characteristics. While the extrovert subject is only able to represent the problem of value comparison in the form of a table only and experiences doubts in explaining its characteristics. At the Object stage, they can provide other examples of the concept of value comparison, but introverted subjects are more creative in this regard. In addition, they are also able to classify whether a problem includes the concept of valued comparison or not. At the Schema stage, they can define worth comparison and can infer its relationship with several concepts even though the extroverted subject has not fully concluded its relationship with the classification of comparison. This description can be used as input for teachers in choosing learning methods or strategies to convey material that is well received by each student.

Finansal dolarizasyon hanehalkı, kamu ve firmaların varlıklar ve kaynaklarını yabancı para birimi cinsinden tutmaları olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yüksek ve oynak döviz kurlarının ve enflasyon oranlarının olduğu ekonomilerde bankacılık kesiminde finansal dolarizasyon rakamları önemli düzeyde bulunmaktadır. Bu durumda finansal dolarizasyonun banka kârlılığına etkisinin incelenmesi mühim arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada finansal dolarizasyonun banka kârına etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla Türk Bankacılık Sisteminde faaliyette bulunan 21 adet mevduat bankasının verileri 2003Q1-2020Q4 arası zaman diliminde panel veri analizi yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre mevduat dolarizasyonun ortalama aktif ve ortalama özkaynak kârlılığını pozitif etkilediği tespit edilirken net faiz marjını ise negatif etkilediği bulunmuştur. Kredi dolarizasyonunun ortalama aktif ve ortalama özkaynak kârlılığı üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı ve negatif olduğu fakat net faiz marjına herhangi etkisi olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bileşik dolarizasyon endeksi ortalama aktif ve ortalama özkaynak kârlılığına negatif etki yaparken net faiz marjına pozitif bir etkiye neden olduğu saptanmıştır.

Advertising is a commercial activity that has found its place in our lives since the earliest known periods of trade. The impact of developing technologies has led to changes in advertising techniques and media. An important part of trade has recently moved online. Similarly, advertising activities have also moved online. Advertising activities to be carried out online have superior and weak sides. One of the marketing methods adopted and accepted by businesses today is multi-level marketing. Another working method adopted by businesses is the sales revenue partnership system. Within the scope of our research, we have tried to put forward a working model that brings together the superior aspects of multi-level marketing and sales revenue partnership system organization. On the one hand, it is aimed to create a management information system model that accepts the advertising campaigns organized by advertisers and acts as an affiliate system, and on the other hand, it is aimed to create a management information system model for promoting these campaigns quickly and reliably on the internet through publishers who have come together with the multi-level marketing organization. The question "How can a management information system be designed for this type of working model?" was adopted as the main problem of the research and a literature review was conducted in this direction. Leading global and local companies adopting both working models were analyzed in terms of structure and terms used. With the information gathered, an application software based on the theoretical model was developed and tested in terms of all stakeholders and workflows. In cases where the objectives of the theoretical model could not be achieved, the model was revised and workflow problems were eliminated. After the successful operation of the application software, concrete results were presented on how this new working model should be managed as a management information system. Suggestions are presented for the superior aspects of the new model, as well as the points that may create vulnerabilities.

Ülkeler, sağlık harcamalarını finanse etmek amacıyla sağlık sigortasını zorunlu hale getirmiş ve böylece genel sağlık sigortası ortaya çıkmıştır. Genel sağlık sigortası kapsam bakımından temel sağlık hizmetlerini içermektedir. Daha kapsamlı sağlık sigortası için özel sağlık sigortaları devreye girmektedir. Tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortası özel sağlık sigortalarından birisidir. Genel sağlık sigortasının kapsamı dışında kalan diğer sağlık harcamaları, tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortasıyla karşılanması amaçlanmaktır. Tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortası, sigorta yaptırmak isteyenin ihtiyaçları ve istekleri doğrultusunda farklı teminatlar içermektedir. Bu yönüyle de devletin sağlık harcamalarındaki yükünü azaltmaktadır. Nüfus artışı, daha kaliteli sağlık hizmetlerine erişim isteği, özel sağlık kurumlarda tedavi olma isteği gibi sebepler tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortasına olan talebi arttırmaktadır. Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Covid-19 salgını başta sağlık hizmetleri olmak üzere ekonomi, tedarik zinciri gibi hayatın her alanında etkili olmuştur. Bütün bu gelişmelerden hareketle araştırmanın amacı, giderek yaygınlaşan tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortasına insanların bakış açılarını, bilgi düzeylerini ve Covid-19 sürecindeki değerlendirmelerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu araştırma, Ankara ilindeki 388 yetişkine anketle çevrimiçi olarak uygulanmıştır. Anket, katılımcıların demografik özelliklerini, sağlık durumlarını, Covid-19 dönemindeki sağlık sigortalarına bakışlarını ve tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortasıyla ilgili düşüncelerini ölçmeye yönelik sorulardan oluşmaktadır. Anket verilerinin analizinde istatistik paket programı yardımıyla yüzde, frekans, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma ve t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortası ve Covid-19 ile ilgili ifadelere tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortası yaptırmış olanların daha olumlu baktıkları, katılımcıların tamamlayıcı sağlık sigortasının yeterince tanıtılmadığını düşündükleri bulgulanmıştır.
