The aim of our study was tocarry out clinical analysis of quality of life indicators in patients with partial and complete adontia by using the SF-36 questionnaire.
Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the study of the quality of life of patients with partial and complete absence of teeth, which included the following main stages: development of a research protocol, selection of a research tool, examination of patients, data collection, database formation, scaling of questionnaire data, statistical data processing, analysis and interpretation results.
Three groups were included in the study: patients with partial adontia, patients with complete adontia, and a control group for comparative analysis. Each group comprises 7 individuals, evenly distributed by age and gender.
Among the general questionnaires employed, we used the SF-36 known as widely adopted instrument for the comprehensive examination of quality of life. This questionnaire is commonly employed in both population-based and specialized studies focused on the quality of life.
The MOS SF-36 questionnaire consists of 36 questions categorized into 8 domains. Respondents provide answers in the form of points ranging from 0 to 100. A higher score on the scale is indicative of a higher standard of living.
Results. Complete and partial adontia is characterized by the complete loss of permanent teeth, which leads to aesthetic, structural and functional changes that can negatively affect the quality of life, and which are minimized by rehabilitation with removable dentures.
The findings obtained have revealed a decline in quality of life indicators across all domains of the SF-36 questionnaire in patients with partial adontia across nearly all age groups. Notably, in patients with a complete set of teeth, the disparities in indicators are most pronounced, exhibiting statistically significant differences when compared to the other group.
Conclusion. The presented results from the assessment of the quality of life among patients with partial and complete absence of teeth by using the SF-36 questionnaire highlight a substantial reduction in overall quality of life for patients with dentition defects. This decline is evident across all domains of the questionnaire, and notably intensifies with the advancing age of patients.
EFFECT OF HYPEROSMOLAR COLLOIDAL SOLUTIONS OF LACTOPROTEIN WITH SORBITOL AND HAES-LX 5% ON CHANGES IN THE FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF CELL MEMBRANES IN THERMAL DAMAGE OF THE THYROID GLAND
Authors: Tiron O.I. 
Published: December 2023

The urgency of the burn injury problem is multi-faceted from both medical and fundamental perspectives. Considering the social, medical, and military dimensions of this issue, the importance of addressing and elucidating the fundamental principles for providing adequate and effective medical care to the specified category of patients becomes significant in medical, economic, and social contexts. Complex pathogenetically oriented correction of this pathological condition requires investigating the chains of burn-induced pathogenesis of thyroid gland dysfunction and probable systemic changes in the body.
The objective of this study is to examine the impact of lactoprotein with sorbitol and HAES-LX-5% hyperosmolar colloid solutions on indexes related to changes in cellular membrane functional activity during the progression of thermal damage to the thyroid gland.
The peroxide resistance of erythrocytes, total peroxidase activity, the concentrations of total cholesterol and phospholipids as well as the lactoprotein with sorbitol and HAES-LX-5% impact on these indexes were determined 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days after the exposure of thyroid gland to thermal burn. The peroxide resistance of erythrocytes and total peroxidase activity blood plasma indexes were shown to be increased significantly together with total cholesterol content increase and total phospholipids content decrease throughout the post-burn process dynamics. The utilization of lactoprotein with sorbitol and HAES-LX 5% hyperosmolar colloid solutions, aimed at correction in cases of thyroid gland burning, results in the enhancement of peroxide resistance in erythrocytes and the restoration of total peroxidase activity indexes. This effect extends to the main structural components of cellular membranes throughout the 30-day post-burn period.
The most pronounced protective and restorative efficacy of lactoprotein with sorbitol and HAES-LX 5% was observed from the 7th day of the study and persisted until the end of the experiment. The effectiveness of anti-burn lactoprotein with sorbitol and HAES-LX 5% was comparable. It can be concluded that the demonstrated protective effect, specifically aimed at restoring blood system and erythrocyte functional activity, provides experimental evidence justifying the rationale for clinical efficacy testing of these solutions in cases of thermal damage to the body.

Published: December 2023

Currently, the distance learning format is of great relevance. The primary objective of this mode of education is to establish a secure learning and working environment for all participants in the educational process. Within the distance learning framework, material delivery can take on either an asynchronous approach (where students engage with the material independently, without direct teacher involvement) or a synchronous one (in real-time).
Asynchronous formats encompass a range of tools and platforms such as Google tools, website creation (using appropriate platforms), educational platforms (New School, Matific), recordings of educational material (video lessons, video instructions), online tests (Google Forms, LearningApps, ClassTime), interactive whiteboards (Padlet), student project activities (Google Presentations), quizzes (Kahoot, myQuiz, Quiziz), and various other forms of interactive learning.
Given the current circumstances and the unexpected shift to distance learning, teachers proactively engage in planning and creating chat spaces with students. Utilizing messengers streamlines communication, with chats serving as a platform for sharing homework updates, providing consultations to applicants, and conducting surveys – essentially, planning synchronous training.
In the synchronous mode, various means are employed for presenting material. Video conferences, facilitated through platforms like Meet, Zoom, Discord, Skype, and FreeConferenceCall, are the most prevalent communication method in remote conditions. Meetings are arranged using pre-established links or QR codes. This format is versatile, extending its use to online discussions, voting, and consultations.
Long and boring online lessons are not the best way to teach. Therefore, teachers should use and combine different teaching methods to help learners learn effectively. Modern methods, gadgets and programs make it possible to bring the level of online learning closer to live communication with students.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. At the modern level, disorders of the functions of the tongue are considered by scientists in close relationship with the condition of the cranio-mandibular structures, posturological changes and various general somatic disorders of the human body.
The purpose of this study was to improve the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment outcomes for patients with disorders of tongue functions based on data obtained from the systematic review of revelant literature and own clinical experience.
Materials and Methods. The research involved an analysis of contemporary national and international literature spanning from 2000 to the present. Additionally, the study summarized the clinical experience gained from examining and treating 1024 patients with swallowing and speech disorders over the past 8 years.
Results. The "Algorithm for investigating the state and position of the tongue during swallowing and speech functions" has been formulated. This algorithm encompasses stages of clinical and paraclinical analysis, evaluating factors such as the tongue position, the condition of supra- and sublingual spaces, pharyngeal airways, hyoid bone position, as well as using techniques such as photopalatography, electropalatography, and electromyography. The corrective method we offer for addressing improper tongue positioning during swallowing and speech involves enhancing the patient's overall somatic condition through recommendations for a healthy diet, an active lifestyle, and specific myogymnastics. It further focuses on normalizing the myodynamic balance between the external and internal muscle circles of the dento-jaw area. Controlled myogymnastics for the tongue is facilitated using a specially designed device.
Conclusion. The developed algorithm for studying the condition and position of the tongue during swallowing and speech functions, along with the proposed corrective method, promises to enhance the effectiveness of diagnosing malocclusion associated with or caused by tongue function disorders. This approach contributes to the objectification of results in orthodontic treatment.

Published: December 2023

Modern research highlights the connection between the deterioration of sleep quality, sleep efficiency and daytime sleepiness with the disruption of the sleep-wake pattern due to circadian dysfunction. The aim of the study is to investigate the features of sleep disorders in patients with anxiety disorders of neurotic genesis, taking into account individual chronotype.
91 patients, 48 women (52,7%) and 43 men (47,3%) with anxiety disorders of neurotic origin were examined at Regional Center of Psychiatric Care. The Horn-Ostberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire was used to determine the chronotype of participants. The study was also conducted using the Hamilton anxiety scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire, Insomnia severity index, Epworth sleepiness scale, and Fatigue severity scale. All patients, depending on the individual chronotype, were divided into 3 groups, representative by age and gender. The morning type group comprised 32 patients (35.2%), the intermediate type group consisted of 31 patients (34.1%), and the evening type group included 28 patients (30.7%).
A significant difference has been established between groups of morning and evening type in terms of the total score of anxiety and its somatic component (p<0.05). There is no difference in the indicator of the mental component of anxiety. However, this indicator is higher in people with extreme evening type compared to extreme morning type (p=0.001). Differences in indicators of sleep disturbances have been found to depend on the individual chronotype. Representatives of the evening type compared to the intermediate and morning types have significantly higher indicators of sleep latency and daytime dysfunction according to PSQI, as well as daytime sleepiness and fatigue severity (p<0.001). People with an intermediate chronotype have better sleep duration (p<0.05) and lower insomnia severity index than people with a morning (p<0.05) and evening type (p<0.01).

Authors: Yu Xiaodong , Zhang Jie , Wang Chuanyang 
Published: December 2023

Abstracts: There are residual stresses in the joint caused by swift temperature variation in the process of laser transmission welding with metal absorbent. However, the related forming process is hard to detect through experimental methods. Herein, a physical model is established to describe the evolution of stress during the welding of polyarylsulfone (PASF) and polycarbonate (PC). The evolution of heat stress and the forming of residual stress is analyzed through the method of heat-force sequential coupling. In this process, the condensate transition, metal powder deformation, and clamping forces are involved in the mathematical model of stress-strain. In this model, the stress history can be divided into n time intervals according to the principle of superimposed stresses. The results revealed a significant correlation between the thermal history and stress evolution. Furthermore, the maximum von-mises stress appeared at the time of 1.7 s, then there was a decreasing tendency and stabled at 9 s. The von-mises stress was considered as residual stress after that time and the related stress distribution was investigated. The findings of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of residual stress on the joint.

Authors: BÜYÜKKÖR Mustafa , ALKIŞ Necati 
Published: December 2023

Aims: The subtype of lung cancer, known as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), tends to have a highly fatal course, especially in advanced stages. In particular, the overall survival durations further decrease in cases of brain metastases in SCLC. There is increasing evidence for the role of systemic inflammation parameters in predicting cancer prognosis, and they appear likely to become potential target markers for clinical treatments in the future. We aimed to evaluate the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), a novel inflammatory laboratory marker that could predict long-term survival and serve as a potential target marker for clinical treatment, in patients with de novo brain metastatic small cell lung carcinoma (DNBM SCLC)."
Methods: Clinicopathological features of adult patients diagnosed with DNBM SCLC were recorded from the patient registry of the hospital. Patients without medical records were not included in the study. Investigations were carried out to assess the prognostic effect of the SIRI parameter in predicting the 12-month overall survival (OS12) in DNBM SCLC patients, by determining a cut-off value and conducting appropriate statistical analyses, considering p-values (

Published: December 2023

Aims: Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare, non-specific, chronic inflammatory disease with a reported incidence of 0.16-3.3% that primarily involves the mesenteric adipose tissue. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical features of patients diagnosed with mesenteric panniculitis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the reports of 941 patients who were examined in the Gastroenterology Clinic of Lokman Hekim Hospital and underwent abdominal computerized tomography (CT) between January 2019 and December 2021.
Results: Among CT scan reports of 941 patients, the diagnosis of mesenteric panniculitis was present in 89 (9.45%) patients (55 male and 34 female). The reasons for obtaining a CT scan in those patients were as follows: severe abdominal pain in 53 (59.6%) patients, weight loss in 16 (17.9%) patients, bloating, distention, and suspicion of sub-ileus in 12 (13.5%) patients, and alterations in abdominal movements (constipation or diarrhea) in 8 (8.9%) patients. Among patients with mesenteric panniculitis, autoimmune diseases were also analyzed 21 were having Hashimoto thyroiditis, 2 were having vitiligo, 2 were having Sjögren’s disease, 1 was having primary biliary cholangiopathy, and 1 was having a diagnosis of celiac disease.
Conclusion: Mesenteric panniculitis is not a very rare disease, diagnosed with mainly CT findings. Although the disease may be associated with some autoimmune diseases and malignancies, the disease outcomes are generally fine. However, there are still many unknown points, especially about the etiology and outcomes of the disease.
