IMPACT OF PLATELET-RICH PLASMA ON INJURIED NASAL MUCOSA IN CHRONIC ATROPHIC RHINITIS
Authors: Bondarenko R.V. , Bezshapochny S. B. 
Published: December 2023

Relevance. The mucous membrane of the nasal cavity is a natural biological barrier that protects the upper respiratory tract from infection. Chronic atrophic rhinitis is characterized by a triad of symptoms and signs, which include progressive atrophy of the nasal mucosa, the formation of crusts and a characteristic unpleasant odor. A promising tool for the pathogenetic therapy of chronic atrophic rhinitis can include the use of platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP therapy).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma on the content of markers of oxidative damage to biological polymers, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, and the intensity of collagenolysis in the nasal mucosa under chronic atrophic rhinitis.
Materials and methods. The study involved 68 patients, categorized into control (n=20) and experimental (n=48) groups. Within the experimental group, patients were randomly assigned to two subgroups: the standard therapy group (n=29) received conventional treatment as per protocols for 28 days, and the PRP therapy group (n=19) received PRP injections alongside standard therapy for chronic atrophic rhinitis over the same duration. The content of free L-oxyproline, the concentration of malondialdehyde, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and the content of oxidatively modified proteins were studied in the nasal mucosa.
Results. PRP therapy included to the standard treatment for chronic atrophic rhinitis resulted in a significant 42.67% decrease in malondialdehyde content in the nasal mucosa compared to pre-treatment values. The presence of oxidatively modified proteins post-treatment, following the standard therapeutic regimen with the addition of PRP therapy, decreased by 39.25% compared to pre-treatment levels. The concentration of free L-oxyproline in the nasal mucosa, under standard treatment combined with PRP therapy, exhibited a reduction of 38.28% compared to pre-treatment values. Furthermore, the content of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the nasal mucosa decreased by 82.27% compared to pre-treatment levels.
Conclusions. The integration of PRP therapy with standard treatment for chronic atrophic rhinitis enhances treatment efficacy by mitigating oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, reducing collagen breakdown, and limiting the accumulation of H2S in the nasal mucosa.

Authors: Delva M.Yu. , Zayets V.V. , Chekalina N.I. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Disturbances of cardiac rhythm and conduction are risk factors for cognitive impairments.
Aim: to determine peculiarities of the cognitive status in patients with impaired heart rhythm and conduction during the recovery period after ischemic non-lacunar strokes.
Material and methods. This study included 52 patients with atrial fibrillation, 18 patients with atrioventricular block 2-3 degrees, and 24 patients with sinus rhythm who had an ischemic non-lacunar stroke during the last 6 months. Cognitive status was measured using the MMSE, MoCA, ADAS-cog scales, the Clock Drawing Test, the “5 Words” test, and the frontal assessment battery.
Results. According to the MoCA scale, patients with atrial fibrillation and atrioventricular block were significantly more often diagnosed with post-stroke cognitive impairments (71.2% and 77.8%, respectively) compared with patients having sinus rhythm (37.5%). Among patients with cognitive impairments by the MoCA scale, the presence of atrial fibrillation was associated with a significant decrease in MoCA scale scores, compared with sinus rhythm (18.0 (17.0-22.0) versus 22.0 (18.0-23.0)). In patients with sinus rhythm, the clock-drawing test had higher scores (8.0 (7.0-9.0)) compared to cases with atrial fibrillation (7.0 (5.8-8.0)). Patients with sinus rhythm had higher values of the frontal assessment battery (15.0 (14.0-15.0)) compared to atrial fibrillation (13.0 (12.0-14.0)) and atrioventricular blocks (14.0 (13.0- 15.0)).
Conclusions. During the first 6 months after schemic non-lacunar strokes, patients with impaired heart rhythm and conduction demonstrated a significant prevalence of cognitive impairments by the MoCA scale and significantly worse scores of cognitive tests for executive functions.

Authors: Novalska Tetiana , Timofieieva Kateryna 
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to define the information potential of the epistolary heritage of P. Kulish in the funds of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine by analysing and establishing its documentary content, which makes it possible to reproduce retrospective information that complements and expands already known facts about the personality.
Research methods. Along with general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the research uses historical, systematic, typological and aesthetic ones, as well as methods of archival and source scholar heuristics, source scholar criticism of sources, their textual analysis and information reconstruction.
The scientific novelty of the study consists in highlighting the information resources representing the epistolary heritage of P. Kulish in V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine funds. The existing document multitude, primarily letters and telegrams, in the form of manuscripts and copies (in particular, typewritten articles by researchers of P. Kulish), which are of scientific interest for studying the writer’s life and creativity, is analyzed in detail.
Main conclusions. In the funds of IR NBUV, there are about one thousand and a half letters of P. Kulish, which cover a long chronological range and present the names of many correspondents, both well-known and unknown, as well as letters without specifying the names of the addressees. The archive of P. Kulish is not consolidated in one fund, but scattered among different funds of the scientific institution: I, II, VII, X, 63, 95, 112, 131, 170, 172, 251, 315, 338 (the total number is 12 funds). Complex funds No. I “Literary materials”, No. III “Correspondence”, and fund No. X “Archives of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences”, in which the artist’s epistolary documents predominate, deserve special attention. The document collection of P. Kulish, which is kept in No. 315, and is represented by the author’s epistolary block, is also noteworthy. Fund No. I presents about one thousand letters of P. Kulish, many of which do not contain information about the addressees (it is a damaged document or an unidentified addressee), which prevents the full reproduction of retrospective information, but still complements and expands already known facts. The epistles of P. Kulish to his addressees recorded information of a biographical nature, which is a valuable addition to his own prosopographical portrait. For the most part, the writer’s letters are characterised by informative content, as they are aimed to be read by a definite person. In addition, at that time, correspondence was one of the most important means of communication.

Published: December 2023

Aims: The present study aims to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill restorative materials with different properties over different time periods when immersed in a coffee solution.
Methods: According to the selected restorative materials, the study groups were formed as follows: CNT/light (Alkasite, Cention N, Ivoclar Vivadent, light cure mode), CNT/self (Alkasite, Cention N, self cure mode) EQF (Glass hybrid restorative, Equia Forte HT, GC Corporation), AU (Single-shade bulk fill, Aura Bulk Fill, SDI), Z550 (Filtek Z550, 3M) (control group). A total of 50 samples (n=10) were prepared using standard molds (2mmx10mm). After finishing and polishing procedures, all samples were kept in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours. The first color measurement (L*a*b ) was performed with Vita Easy Shade V (VITA Zahnfabrik). Samples were added to the coffee solution. Color was measured at times simulating 7 days, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year of clinical service. Color changes (ΔE1, ΔE2, ΔE3 and ΔE4) were calculated according to the CIE L*a*b system. Normality of the data was examined by D'Agostino & Pearson omnibus normality test. One-way ANOVA analysis and Tukey test were performed. Statistical significance level was set at p 0.05 and statistical analysis software (GraphPad Prism 6.0, GraphPad Software, USA) was used for the analysis.
Results: According to ΔE1 results; clinically unacceptable color change (ΔE>3.3) values were observed in CNT/light and CNT/self groups. The color change values of EQF, Z550 and AU groups were statistically similar (p>0.05). According to ΔE2 results; an unacceptable color change (ΔE>3.3) was observed in all groups except EQF. According to ΔE3 results; an unacceptable color change (ΔE>3.3) was observed in all groups. According to ΔE4 results; an unacceptable color change (ΔE>3.3) was observed in all groups. The color change values of EQF, Z550 and AU groups were statistically similar (p>0.05). CNT/light group showed the highest color change in all time periods, followed by CNT/self group.
Conclusion: The color stability of single-shade bulk fill material and glass hybrid restorative materials is similar to the control group. The color stability of alkasite material needs to be improved.
