Published: January 2019

Objective: determination of epidemiological peculiarities of acute intestinal infections outbreak incidence in Ukraine for the period 2014-2017.
Materials and methods: Applying descriptive and analytical techniques of an epidemiological research method and statistical methods, using materials of the official statutory records of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the nature of acute intestinal infection outbreaks by etiology, transmission routes and affected cohort groups was investigated.
Result and discussion: At the current stage AII outbreaks are registered every year and throughout Ukraine. Herewith, their specific gravity in total diarrheal infection incidence, excluding shigellosis and salmonellosis, is insignificant. Outbreak incidence levels in the industrial and tourist centres of Ukraine exceed similar rates in other regions by several times. Salmonelloses dominate in the nosological structure of outbreak incidence. The majority of outbreaks is transmitted by food. Most of diarrheal infection outbreaks are connected with catering facilities and children’s pre-school institutions, as well as with visiting festive occasions arranged at home. A rise in outbreak incidence is observed from May till September. Rotaviral enteritis outbreaks are more frequently registered in January through March.
Conclusion: The detected peculiarities of acute intestinal infection outbreak incidence shall be considered when developing regional programs of epidemiological surveillance over diarrheal infections.

Authors: Boyarchuk Oksana , Hariyan Tetyana , Kovalchuk Tetyana 
Published: January 2019

Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is still a big problem affecting children and adults in many countries all over the world.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the clinical course of RHD in children and adults of Western Ukraine, to ascertain the reasons for development and progression of the disease, and outline prospects for its prevention.
Material and methods: The study included 32 children aged 11 to17 years and 35 adults aged 20 to 42 years with RHD. All patients underwent a standardized examination protocol, which consisted of detailed medical history, laboratory tests, ECG, Doppler echocardiography.
Results: The mean age in the children group was 15.8±1.5 years and in adults group - 35.4±7.3 years. Rural areas residents were the majority in both children and adults groups, 71.9% and 77.1% respectively. Recurrent acute rheumatic fever (ARF) was observed in 35.0% of children and in 54.3% adults with history of ARF. Long-term secondary prevention of streptococcal infections was satisfactory in 40.0% of child cases and in 31.6% of adult cases. The lack of compliance and poor health awareness among patients and their parents were most common reasons for inadequate prophylaxis. Subclinical RHD was diagnosed in 37.5% of child cases and in 45.7% of adult cases. Isolated mitral regurgitation (MR) was common in child cases (43.8%) while mitral stenosis (MS) (isolated or combined) was the most common in adult cases (88.6%). Clinical signs of heart failure were absent in half of child cases, but were present in all adult cases at functional class II and III (42.3% and 57.7% respectively). Atrial fibrillation occurred in 34.3% of adult cases.
Conclusion: MR is the predominant cardiac valvular lesion in children with RHD. Inadequate secondary prevention was identified as one of the main causes of development and progression of the disease, leading in adults to MS, combined valvular lesions, arrhythmic and infectious complications. Education of patients and their parents is very important for improving compliance with long-term prophylaxis. Special attention should be given to patients from rural areas and those with difficulties in adhering to antibiotic prevention regimes.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: Centella asiatica is a herb, which has neuroprotective properties, thus, it can be used to prevent neural damage caused by stress and increased glucocorticoid level. Madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid that are contained inside Centellaasiatica extract have antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
Method: This research is an experimental research using an animal model with post test-only control group design. We used samples from biologically stored product, in the form of 25 rat-brain tissue paraffin blocks. These brain tissues originated from 25 rat models that were divided into groups P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5. Group P1 was intervened with restrain stress.Group P2, P3, and P4 was intervened with restrain stress and ethanolic extract of Centella asiaticaat 150, 300, and 600 mg/kgBW/days, respectively. Group P5 was intervened with stress and fluoxetinat 10 mg/kgBW/days. On day 23, brain tissues were terminated, perfused, and extracted. Brain tissues were then made into paraffin blocks, turned into preparation pieces, histochemically stained, and cells that expressed caspace-bax were counted.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference of Bax expression between P1 group and P3, P4, and P5 (p=0,01). Bax expression in group P1 was significantly higher than P2, P3, P4, and P5. There was no statistically significant difference of Bax expression between group P1 and P2 (p=0,08).
Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of Centella asiatica was able to decrease Bax expression in prefrontal cortex of chronic restraint stress induced Spraque Dawley rat models.

Published: January 2019

A case of locally recurrent leiomyosarcoma of the left seminal vesicle, previously surgically resected, is described in a 65-year-old man. The patient underwent curative radiation therapy (61 Gy/33 fractions). Initially, he experienced a complete response after irradiation, but 15 months after treatment, progressive disease was recorded both in lung and bone, without evidence of local recurrence. The lack of efficient systemic therapies leads to a poor prognosis in this disease; clinical outcome in this patient seems to suggest the utility of radiotherapy in the very rare scenario of locally recurrent seminal vesicle leiomyosarcoma.
