Aging is an inevitable process of our civilization. Since ancient times, scientists have tried to solve the mystery of aging. The research continues to this day. The most common diseases of old age are disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Among them, osteoporosis continues to occupy the third place in the structure of overall morbidity and mortality. Such statistical data make us think about the search for a possible cause of the disease at the molecular level. The purpose of this study was to analyze the literature data on modern directions of osteoporosis treatment, including stem-cells based bioregenerative medicine. An analytical review of literature data was conducted using the information analysis of Medline (PubMed), Web of Science and Scopus databases, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from 2018 to 2022 using the keywords “osteoporosis”, bioregenerative therapy”, “stem cell therapy”. Recent results of preclinical experimental studies have shown the effectiveness of the introduction of new bioregenerative technologies. In particular, the use of mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes and miRNAs. Preclinical studies on MSC transplantation in the treatment of osteoporosis indicate an increase in osteogenic differentiation, an increase in BMD. Exosomes also may play multiple roles in the treatment of osteoporosis: improving the disbalance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, structural modification of exosomes and transmitters’ drug function. The promotion of bone regeneration of exosomes has been shown in animal models. Exosomes with active ingredients can treat a variety of skeletal disorders including osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. The results of recent research of the bone disorder treatment based on stem cells therapy have shown convincing prospects for new approaches.
The purpose of the work was to study the possibilities of conservative and surgical treatment of infravesical obstruction in young patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. Materials and methods. Urodynamic diagnosis of infravesical obstruction due to increased resistance of the prostatic part of the urethra was established in 36 patients, whose age was 32.76 ± 1.13 years on average. The volume of the prostate gland according to transrectal ultrasound examination varied from 18 to 32 cm3 (on average 24.05 ± 1.28 cm3). Based on the results of a complex urodynamic study, 3 groups were identified: group 1 – 12 (33.3%) patients with infravesical obstruction with low-amplitude detrusor hyperactivity in the filling phase; group 2 – 13 (36.1%) patients with infravesical obstruction without an abdominal component during urination; group 3 – 11 (30.6%) men with infravesical obstruction in the presence of an abdominal component during urination. The control group included 16 men aged 21–48 years (on average 36.32 ± 2.34 years), who had no lower urinary tract symptoms. The effectiveness of drug therapy was assessed by comparing the initial indicators and quality of life indicators after 1 month, the IPSS index, the maximum volumetric rate of urination, and the residual urine volume. Results and discussion. To select the first line of therapy, the data of a complex urodynamic study and other examination methods (tamsulosin 0.4 mg, tamsulosin 0.4 mg + solifenacin 5 mg or tamsulosin 0.4 mg + mirabegron 25 mg) were taken into account. 16 patients who felt improvement after 1 month of drug treatment continued to experience it for 12–18 months. 17 (47.2%) persons out of 36 examined patients underwent surgical intervention due to symptoms of infravesical obstruction: 14 (70.0%) out of 20 – in whom drug therapy did not achieve the expected effect and 3 patients who refused conservative therapy despite its effectiveness. The patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate gland. 12–18 months after observation, the patients determined a significant improvement in their condition, namely, in all parameters there was no significant difference from the control indicators. Conclusion. The effectiveness of conservative therapy in young men with infravesical obstruction reaches only 44.4%. But in case of improvement from treatment after 1 month, the stable positive effect of this type of treatment remains for 12–18 months. We believe that the main cause of infravesical obstruction in this contingent of patients may be benign prostatic hyperplasia, which debuted at earlier terms. Observation and treatment of this group of patients should be carried out according to the same principles as in patients with a similar pathology of an older age. If conservative therapy is ineffective within 1 month in this contingent of patients, transurethral resection of the prostate gland is indicated. After 12–18 months of observation, the operated patients determined a significant improvement in their condition, namely – in all parameters there was no significant difference from the control indicators. Thus, in case of absence of effectiveness of drug therapy in young male patients with infravesical obstruction, minimally invasive surgical intervention can significantly improve the quality of life, normalize urodynamic indicators, and reduce the IPSS score
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
