The study involved 162 people, including 61 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), 70 patients with slowly progressive autoimmune diabetes of adults and 31 patients with type 2 diabetes with the development of insulin dependence after more than 10 years since the disease onset. Based on a comparative analysis of fasting C-peptide levels in patients of observation groups the different degree of insulin secretion reduction was set. Thus in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus severity of absolute insulin deficiency is not a determining factor of the variant of the disease (relatively stable or labile). In general, the definition of C-peptide in patients with diabetes is a reliable criterion by which we can judge the functional activity of β-cells, even in the appointment of insulin. In doubtful cases it is advisable to carry out the research of C-peptide in the dynamics of observation.
The aim of the study is to establish the effectiveness of treatment of severe angina pectoris in patients with hyperuricemia, taking into consideration the peculiarities of the course of coronary artery disease (CAD) in wartime, using ranolazine – a selective inhibitor of the late sodium flow in combined pharmacotherapy. Materials and methods. We studied the anti-anginal effect of ranolazine in 14 patients with CAD, stable angina pectoris III-IV functional class (FC), hyperuricemia and arterial hypertension (AH) during 6 months of the 2022 year. The effectiveness of the study drug on the clinical course of angina pectoris was assessed by questionnaire and clinical examination after three months of treatment. The results. At the end of the second week of ranolazine use, angina attacks at rest, which were registered before the start of the observation, stopped in all patients with angina pectoris III FC and 50 % with angina pectoris IV FC. In 78.6 %, the number of angina attacks and the use of nitrates decreased by more than 2 times; 21.4 % no longer had angina attacks. At the end of the first month, anginal attacks were not observed in all patients with angina pectoris III FC and 50 % with angina pectoris FC IV. In 2 patients with angina pectoris IV FC (50 %), anginal attacks continued to be registered during physical exertion and emotional stress, but no more than once a week. At the same time, there were no angina attacks at rest. The same results were obtained during the survey of patients at the end of three months of observation. Conclusions. Ranolazine is an effective component of anti-anginal therapy, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life. Therefore, we can recommend ranolazine for patients with hyperuricemia in angina attacks that persist with insufficient effectiveness of zasic therapy with first-line drugs, especially during military conflicts

Актуальность. Эректильная дисфункция (ЭД) при D-гиповитаминозе у мужчин ассоциирована со снижением уровня тестостерона (Т) в крови. При этом в современных исследованиях отсутствуют данные относительно состояния эректильной функции (ЭФ) в зависимости от изменений показателя относительной андрогенизации — величины соотношения Т к эстрадиолу (Е2) (Т/Е2) при условии констатации дефицита и недостаточности витамина D. Нет сравнительных данных состояния ЭД у мужчин молодого и среднего возраста, особенно при наличии и отсутствии сахарного диабета 2-го типа (СД2). Цель: установить особенности изменений ЭФ в зависимости от уровней 25-гидроксихолекальциферола (25(ОН)D) в крови и андрогенного состояния у мужчин молодого и среднего возраста. Материалы и методы. 47 человек мужского пола в возрасте 23–59 лет были распределены на три группы: первая группа (n = 20) — мужчины молодого возраста (32,3 ± 1,1 года); вторая группа (n = 15) — мужчины среднего возраста (53,0 ± 1,0 года) без СД2; третья группа (n = 12) — мужчины, больные СД2, среднего возраста (54,0 ± 1,1 года). В крови иммуноферментным методом с использованием стандартных наборов определяли содержание 25(ОН)D (ELISA, Германия), общего Т («Алкор-Био») и Е2 (DRG). Состояние ЭФ определяли с помощью опросника «Международный индекс эректильной функции-5». Исследования проведены в осенне-зимний период 2019–2020 г. Результаты. Содержание 25(ОН)D в крови у мужчин среднего возраста независимо от наличия или отсутствия у них СД2 было существенно меньше по сравнению с мужчинами первой группы. Доказано, что формирование ЭД у мужчин как молодого, так и среднего возраста обусловлено уменьшением уровней Т в крови и снижением величин соотношения Т/Е2. Выводы. Установлено, что предиктором развития гипотестостеронемии и нарушений андроген-эстрогенового баланса у мужчин независимо от возраста, в том числе больных СД2, может быть снижение содержания в крови 25(ОН)D.
Currently according to many years of experience and the results of numerous studies the feasibility of selfmonitoring is beyond doubt. Despite the widespread use of glucometers, when they operate, there is a range of issues related to possible problems and mistakes in application. This, as a rule, affects the accuracy of the indicators or their assessment, which may be a prerequisite for the appointment of inadequate medical treatment. Getting incorrect results when using glucometers, mainly related to user errors, which accounts for almost 90 %. In other cases, the cause of incorrect results is instrumental, medical, force majeure (for example, when using the device and test strips in extreme climatic conditions) and other factors. The glucometers of choice, the conditions and rules of use which minimize the occurrence of errors, are BIONIME Rightest® and TM GAMMA glucometers.
