In order to diagnose the content of thrombocytes and their aggregation in the blood of patients with severe craniocerebral injury and developed “shock”  lung, there  were studied thrombocytes and their capacity for aggregation. The researches have shown that in the lung capillaries of the patients with severe craniocerebral injury there is a quantitative reduction of thrombocytes and the intensification of their aggregation. Depending on the stage, these changes are of a progressive character. Thus, thrombocytes can be one of the factors eliciting “shock” lung, and changes in their quantity and aggregation can have a prognostic character.

HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH EARLY GASTRIC CANCER AND PRECANCEROUS DISEASES

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2006, 6, pp. 24-28.

 

National Center of Therapy, Tbilisi, Georgia

 

The discovery helicobacter infection has been recognized by many authors as one of the most significant achievements within the past 15 – 20 years. Helicobacter pylori proved to play an important part in the development of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, extranodal B-cellular mucosa associated lymphoid tissue MALT-lymphoma and gastric adenocarcinoma. In 1994, the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) categorized the helicobacter infection as a first-order carcinogen.

This article presents specific interactions between host and microorganism; the molecular bases of pathogenicity are described. The mechanisms of the development of chronic gastritis, gastric peptic ulcer, adenomatous polyposis and early gastric cancer are discussed. The significance of pre-cancerous Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases as premalignant pathology and probable perspectives of the development of complex preventive measures on prophylaxis of gastric carcinoma are surveyed.

The pro-inflammation cytokines of the IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a types were studied by the method of immune-ferment analysis (IFA) in the blood serum and the isolated cervical canal in women with antenatal death of fetus. 40 patients suffering from this pathology were examined (the principal group) and 100 patients - of adequate age groups and periods of gestation, but with the presence of live fetus (control group). The results of the studies showed that the content of the pro-inflammation cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a in the women in case of antenatal death of fetus was significantly higher in the blood, as well as in the isolated cervical canal than in the women with physiological progress of pregnancy. It should be stated that in the isolated cervical canal these indices were markedly higher compared with the cytokine concentrations in the blood, speaking of the appearance of the initial local response in the fetal-placental complex, after which the markers of these immune processes are exposed in peripheral blood.

The obtained data prove that the studies of cytokines of the isolated cervical canal may become an important method for the prognosis of antenatal death of fetus.

On the basis of K.Chachava Research Institute of Perinatal Medicine and Obstetrics/Gynecology, there have been studied peculiarities of physical development and pelvis form of 450 parturients. Physical development showed the signs of acceleration. The majority of the examined women belonged to the leptosomic type of the body constitution, comparatively rarely - to the mesosomic and leptosomic types. The pelvis of the gynecoid type had 218 women, pelvis contracted to different extents – 232 women. According to the constitutional type, the pelvis of the gynecoid type had mostly women of the mesosomic constitution, and contracted pelvis – women of the leptosomic constitution. Difficult confinement caused by pelvis form was noted in 50 cases and consequently cesarean section operations were performed. It’s necessary in obstetrical practice to fully examine a pregnant woman, work out a correct tactics for pregnancy observation and delivery management.

Department of Maxollafacial Surgery and Stomatology of Tbilisi Medical Academy, Georgia

 

In spite of various pharmacological preparations and methods used in the treatment of oral cavity mucous membrane wounds, physical approaches  are not too numerous. In the current situation, when the sensibility of human body towards various pharmacological preparations has markedly increased,  we aim to study the  influence of the infrared contact coagulator on the oral cavity mucous membrane. The experiment was conducted an 10 male rabbits. Symmetric artificial lesions of mucous membrane using general anesthesia were performed. IKK was used only on the right side. The material was taken on the 2-nd,3-d,5-th,7-th day from the beginning of the experiment. The biopsies sectioned and prepared for histo-morphometric evaluation were studied  using the light microscopy. Morphologic study demonstrated that in the group of animals treated with IKK application better restoration of all mucous membrane strata (epithelium, proper mucous membrane and undermucous layer) took place. The obtained results allow to claim that the application of IR contact coagulator does not hinder but to the contrary even favors the processes of the oral cavity mucous membrane regeneration and shortens the time needed for treatment.

Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Academy of Sciences of Georgia; Tbilisi Institute of General and Applied Psychology; Department of Endocrinology, Tbilisi State Medical University; 4Georgian-German Association of Pediatric Endocrinology, Tbilisi, Georgia

 

The aim of our study was determination of possible distinctive features in children with growth delay.

We studied 47 children having delayed growth (24 boys and 23 girls). Control group consisted of 45 children of normal height (16 boys and 29 girls). Age varied from 9 to 13 years.

The study was carried out using Lusher color test. The obtained data were analyzed by clinical features and sex. Results showed that there was no significant difference in dispositional psychological characteristics in children of both groups. Both groups equally needed outside support, approval and sympathy. Nevertheless, in spite of their importance, in children with growth delay these needs were suppressed. This may be accompanied by strain and impairment of attention and working capacity.

In both groups boys had well defined striving for autonomy and self-assertion. It was less expressed in girls with growth delay that was reflected in their low level of anxiety. It is possible to conclude that age-related “normal” difficulties are less important for girls with growth delay.

ANALYSIS OF EARLY CEREBRAL POST-STROKE CASE FATALITY ACCORDING TO THE BATUMI 1/9-98–1/01-2000 REGISTRY

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2006, 6, pp. 53-57.

 

P.Sarajishvili Institute of Neurology, Tbilisi, Georgia

 

Cerebral strocke is the most frequent cause of case fatality in the world’s adult population. The analysis of early post-stroke case fatality is important for the prevention of fatal stroke cases among the population.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to analyse early post-stroke case fatality according to Batumi 1/9-98–1/01-2000 stroke registry.

Methods: We studied all the cases of primary stroke in Batumi for the period of 1/9-98–1/01-2000 by the method of prospective populative clincal-epidemiological study.

Results: One-month indices of the case fatality caused by primary ischemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemmorhages, and undifferentiated stroke proved to be 26%, 81%, 46% and 53% accordingly. Early post-stroke case  fatality for all the stroke types proved to be 41,5% which exceeded the so far existing  analogical indices of  the similar studies.

High indices of the case fatality caused by stroke among the Batumi population must be explained by the low level of stroke prevention, increase of the proportion of severe strokes, belated hospitalization, absence of specialized stroke service, low level of knowledge among the population about stroke as an urgent pathology.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2006, 6, pp. 64-68.

 

National Centre for TB and Lung Disease,

Polyclinic for the Refugees from Abkhazia, Tbilisi, Georgia

 

Aim. To define high risk factors and their importance in development of TB in Georgia. To investigate distinct categories of population manifesting high risk groups of TB marking elaboration of practical arrangements.

Materials and methods. Medical documentation, 2 categories of population; straight interview, retrospective analysis, quantitative analysis of cause and effect relationship.

Resalts. During discussion of patient histories and estimation of questionnairs, there were cases singled out when the development of TB was ahead of existence of some risk-factor. According to the creation of the system for estimating risk, five groups of TB development were singled out. 2 categories of population were selected-1) employed intelectuals, 2) compactly settled refugees.

The risk-groups were defined by means of test-questionnaires. According to the pointing system It turned out, that there were some suspicious persons as a result of examination 3 person among them were fallen ill with TB. 3 years later, 3 representatives of high risk group were also taken ill with TB in the same category of population. Thus, mass screening of population by means of test-questionnaire is a cheap, convenient and informative method for manifesting risk groups. Preventive measures must be carried out in the bounds of different projects.

HORMONAL CHANGES TAKING PLACE DURING HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2006, 6, pp. 68-71.

 

Al.Natishvili Institute of Experimental Morphology, Georgian AS, Tbilisi, Georgia

 

An experiment was performed on 35 adult dogs to determine male mammal’s reproductive system changes during hemorrhagic shock and results were studied. The conditions of experimental hemorragic shock were achieved in the animals by a graduate loss of 30% of the circulatory blood in an hour volume; microscopic sections made from the seminal glands were studied by various methods; the ultrastructur studies were performed by electronic microscopy; testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone plasma levels also were studied.

During experimental hemorrhagic shock, according to the animals’ different reactions three, groups were revealed: Group I – lethal outcomes: Group II – animals with increased reactivity, and Group III – animals with strong adaptive mechanisms. Hence we can resume that organism’s reaction on the aggressive factors, specifically on hemorrhagic shock, depends on individual compensatory mechanisms responses, which, in heir part, are due to the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal system state.

Azerbaijan State Medical University, Baku

 

The aim of the study is the assessment of morpho-functional changes in the cardiac muscle of various young age group animals under the conditions of different regimes of physical load.

Materials and methods of examination. The experiments were performed on white mongrel male rats. The age periodization was according to Zapadniuk V.P. classification (1971): 1) young age (5-10 months): a) preadolescent (22-50 days), mass 25,0-65,0 gr.; b) pubertal age (5-10 months, mss 120,0-250,0 gr.). Each age group included 30 rats, 120 animals in all. Physical load was modeled by forced swimming in a tall jug (t water 31-330C).

The following physical load regimes were used – a single maximum-tolerable load – swimming in a tall jug for 5 hours; multiple moderate physical load – swimming 2 times a week for 1,5-2 hours 1,3 and 5 months in the same conditions.

Results. In a single maximum physical load, young age (pubertal) (5-10 months, mass 120,0-250,0 gr) rat myocardium revealed an irreversible damages in sarcomeres including Z-bands fragmentation.

After 3 months of a moderate physical load the myocardium showed the increased and thickenned myofibriles, numerous ribosomes, glycogen wich indicates to the increase of energetic and plastic processes in cardiomyocytes.

198 couple twins between the age of 12 - 17 had been investigated. A Zygote was defined with the help of Siemens-Ferschwer’s  polysymptomic method, blood investigation systems ABO, Rh, MN, P, Hp (haptoglobin) and also dermatogliphic and  portrait identification method. 37 couple twins turned out to be monozygoted (10 couples masculine, 27 – feminine) and 62 couples – dizygoted (35couples masculine, 27-feminine). Also were investigated following activities: pulse frequency, an average arterial pressure, blood shock volume, blood minute volume, common peripheral resistance etc. Phenotypical dispersion of an aforesaid operation factor had been calculated on the basis of an inside class correlation calculations for mono- and diszygoted twins. It was discovered, that Genetic factor and specifically additive genetic component (G) plays a big role in forming of the investigated activities of the cardiovascular system.

Among  the ecological factors, family factor (E) plays  a decisive role. The coefficient of  intercouple correlations between monozygoted boys were much higher, than between monozygoted girls; but between diszygoted couples- vice versa, what can point to the evolution direction of  investigated characteristics.

The diagnostic criteria for histologic graiding and prediction of  intracranial meningiomas behaviour are not clearly identified.The aim of the present study is an attempt to correlate the mitotic activity with meningiomas graid and recurrence. We reviewed 134 cases (87 women and 47 men) of completely removed intracranial meningiomas. !0-year recurrence was found in 46 cases (21 women and 25 men). The grade of tumor was assessed according to the World Health Organization classification (1997). We reviewed mitotic figures in 10 high-power field and calculated the mitotic index (MI). MI was identified as a number of mitosis in 1000 tumor cells. Our data suggest that MI is a significann criteria for the assessment of meningiomas grading and may be of value in predicting the behaviour of these neoplasms.
