Organization: Astrakhan State Medical University
The Research Objective: Correlation of apoptosis and senilism in patients with metabolic syndrome has been studied. Materials. Apoptosis inductor protein p53 concentration, insulin level in blood serum, biological age, ageing rate coefficient of 270 patients with metabolic syndrome of the age from 30 till 60 have been determined. Among them there have been 162 men and 108 women. Ageing rate coefficient and biological age have been calculated by A. G. Gorel-kin's and Pinchasov's formulae, protein p53 concentration and insulin in blood serum have been determined by enzyme multiplied immunoassay method. Results. Protein p53 concentration of the patients with metabolic syndrome has been increased and worked out 1,59 (1,361,91) U/ml, biological age, ageing rate coefficient have been increased — biological age to 6 years, ageing rate coefficient has been 1,32. Conclusion. These patients have been referred to the group with high risk of early pathology development because the processes of senilism are proleptic. The direct connection between protein p 53 and ageing rate coefficient (r+0,63, p< 0,05) and between apoptosis marker protein p53 and biological age (r+0,6, p< 0,05) have been determined.

Research objective is to determine the influence of adaptation method to periodic pressure chamber hypoxia on dynamics of systolic and diastolic functions of myocardium in patients with early stages of chronic heart failure. Materials and Methods: 100 men with post-infarction cardiosclerosis at the age of 40-65 years with I and IIA stages and l-ll functional classes (NYHA) of chronic heart failure have been examined. Results: Positive dynamics of systolic and diastolic cardiac functions and other parameters of echocardioscopy under the influence of the hypoxic therapy in comparison with classical physical rehabilitation have been obtained. Furthermore, a more significant effect has been observed in patients with CHF IIA. Conclusion: Improvement in the geometry of the heart has proved that adaptation method to periodic pressure chamber hypoxia could be recommended for rehabilitation of patients with heart failure of early stages.

Aim: The definition of the relationship of clinical and laboratory features of acute myocardial infarction depending on the suffering of chronic tonsillitis. Materials and methods. The study included 54 patients with acute myocardial infarction suffering for 1-2 days. The collection of the anamnesis, assessment of clinical factors, inspection of the palatine tonsils, clinical and biochemical blood tests have been done. Markers of myocardial necrosis, an electrocardiogram with calculation of a dispersion of interval QT, echocardiogram have been taken into account. Results. 45 of 54 patients reported the symptoms of chronic tonsillitis in their lifetime. At 17 patients the previous diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis has been made, in 6 of them bilateral tonsillectomy was held. All of the patients were divided into 2 groups: 1 with proven chronic tonsillitis (17 patients) and 2 — the others (37 patients). At patients with chronic tonsillitis substantially more developed acute heart failure at sick this group glucose of the blood at receipt was higher than in 2 groups (p=0,004), given distinction was independent of presence of diabetes. According to the echocardiography 1 group of patients determined course-diastolic dimensions of the right ventricle increase in comparison with 2 groups (p=0,01). Conclusion. In patients with chronic tonsillitis more severe course of acute myocardial infarction has been determined, which became evident in the relatively high values of blood glucose on admission. The frequent development of congestive heart failure, and increase of the course-diastolic dimensions of the right ventricle have been also revealed.

Purpose: to study the morphological characteristic of a coronary blood flow and feature of erythronJs system at ischemic heart disease in aged patients. Methods. Morphological and functional characteristics of coronary blood flow (according to the data of selective direct angiocoronarography) and also cytomorphological and functional parameters of peripheral blood flow in aged patients with ischemic heart disease have been used. Results. Statistically reliable differences to parameters of «red» blood are determined. Lowering of erythrocytes has been established in women. The parameters of haemoglobin level, hematocrit and increasing of erythrocyte sedimentation rate was marked in both gender. The gender distinctions of age have been revealed remodeling of coronary arteries. Conclusion. The high probability of erythronJs system participation has been shown namely its peripheral link in process of age remodeling of coronary arteries in aged men with ischemic heart disease

Tropicality. Cardiomyopathies (CMP) are diseases of unknown etiology. CMP are usually diagnosed in late stages of the disease. The search for diagnostic methods for CMP in the early stage is of great importance. The purpose is to determine the character of distribution of polymorph genetic variations rates of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), glutathione S- transferase (GSTM 1) among CMP patients and healthy subjects living in the Republic of Bashkortostan and to substantiate their value in CMP pathogenesis. Materials and methods. A total of 67 patients with CMP were included in the study. Out of them, 40 patients were diagnosed with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) and 27 patients — dilatation cardiomyopathy (DCMP). 110 healthy persons were enrolled in the control group. Results. In the group of patients with ICMP, the genotype DD (x2=4,81; p=0,029) occurred more frequently. In DCMP group, there was also an increase in frequency of DD genotype of polymorph genetic locus of ACE gene (%2=4,046; p=0,044). Conclusion. Genetic analysis of polymorph l/D locus of ACE gene in patients with ICMP and DCMP showed a decrease in occurrence rates of II, ID genotypes, allele I, as well as an increase in DD genotypes and allele D. This is associated with an increased risk for the development of these cardiovascular diseases
