Abstract

The paper gives the data of a study of HLA-antigens in 31 aborigens, 1600 donors, 85 patients with psoriasis. In aborigines (the Ulch) low frequency of HLA antigen A1 and tendency for increase of HLA B13 were found. Indices of HLA B-17 were the same as in the control group. In patients with psoriasis high frequency of antigens HLA A-1, HLA B-13, HLA B-17 and low frequency of antigens HLA A-28, B-7, Cw-3, Cw-4 was determined. This can point out the absence of genetic susceptibility for psoriasis in the Ulch.

Abstract

Osteochondrosisis is one of the most frequent diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The conservative therapy has short period effect, because it doesn’t remove the cause of the discogenic compression. The usage of laser puncture intervertebral discs reconstruction with simultaneous sequester vaporization method at the treatment of complicated forms of lumbo-sacral dorsopathies was investigated. It was revealed that the application of the method in most cases lead to the pain decrease, extension syndrome disappearance, radicular sensory disorders and motorical radiculer prolapses disappearance. In 92, 9% of cases the total disappearance of orthopedic violations was noticed.

Abstract

Heavy metal content in meat of Yakut young horse was under study.
It was revealed that concentrations of Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in the investigated samples of meat didn't exceed maximum concentration limit (San 2.3.2.560-96.) and corresponded to hygienic requirements. In the investigated samples of meat pesticides were not noted. Estimations of amino acid and vitamin content of horse meat from Ojmjakonsky region testify to rather high food value in the studied samples.
Thus background indicators of meat toxic elements depend on such conditions of animal husbandry as local, natural, climatic, fodder, ecological and territorial.

TUBERCULOSIS CARE IMPROVEMENT

58-62 8
Abstract

In Sakha Republic (Yakutia) for the study period from 2004 to 2011, trends in epidemiologic process based on key indicators prove that epidemiological situation for (tuberculosis) TB in the region is tensed. We observed growth in incidence of TB cases presenting with destructions in lung tissue and bacillary-positive state, persisting trend towards increase in TB cases caused by MDR MTB, high proportion of deaths during the first year of outpatient follow-up for TB, and low coverage of the population with fluorographic mass examinations. The quality of anti-TB measures conducted by local health institutions varies between different socio-geographical zones of the republic. The study proved the need for better organized control of TB that would take into account differences in socio-geographic conditions, medical economics, technical resources, and staff availability in the regions of the republic, within the ongoing context of modernization of anti-TB service.

Abstract

Phthisiologists working in the field of therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis and development of new treatment methods started their scientific and practical work in the 1950s. The first two stages of the work became history by now; the 2000s were the beginning of the third stage – the quest for contemporary methods to treat and overcome M.tuberculosis drug resistance. Thesis works and patents for inventions give eloquent illustration of the close interconnection between science and practice.

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis without prior treatment (primary MDR-TB) is a major problem in the Russian Federation, and also in Eastern Siberia and Far East. Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients with primary TB at two referral sites in Irkutsk oblast and the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) were tested for conventional susceptibility and genotyped using MIRU-12. Outcomes from primary MDR-TB were compared between sites. Phylogenetic reconstruction was used to determined basic epidemic genotypes with MDR. Primary MDR-TB was common in both regions and phylogenetic patterns; drug-resistance and outcomes carried regionally distinct differences, emphasizing the need for locally informed diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Abstract

Analysis of 10-year tuberculosis control activities in the setting of one of rural agricultural regions in extreme north demonstrates that significant successes leading to considerable reduction in epidemiologic indicators for tuberculosis could be achieved by well-organized program regulating multifaceted interaction between municipal institutions, healthcare facilities, agencies and the leading all-republic specialized anti-tuberculosis institution. Improvements in epidemiologic situation are apparent from significantly decreased infection levels and tuberculosis incidence rates among children and adolescents.

73-76 3
Abstract

Study findings on the effect of thoracoplasty (one of the chief surgical treatments for pulmonary tuberculosis) on respiratory function, central hemodynamics, and immune status are presented. High compensatory capacities of the respiratory system and increased humoral immunity were detected, canceling the need for remedial therapy. Treatment with nitrates and ganglionic blockers was proposed for remedy of hemodynamic abnormalities.

Abstract

Results of monitoring for complications to BCG vaccine in children in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) are presented. Incidence, structure and nature of complications to vaccines against tuberculosis infection were analyzed; causes of complications were determined. The study established that complications develop most often to BCG vaccine, and rarer to BCG-M vaccine. Lymphadenitis was the prevailing diagnosis in the clinical structure of complications. Severe forms of complications were registered more frequently in children under 3 years of age. Complications in children immunized at pediatric polyclinics or rural first aid posts were mostly due to wrong administration technique. Main causes for complication development were: perinatal pathology, underestimation of counterindications, infectious or virus diseases in postvaccinal period, faults in vaccine administration technique.

81-84 4
Abstract

We comparatively analyzed the incidence of tuberculosis in the staff of various specialty healthcare organizations, through the case of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), and monitored clinical M.tuberculosis strains for susceptibility/resitance to disinfectants. Incidence of tuberculosis among the staff of anti-tuberculosis institutions was 3 to 4 times higher (p< 0.05), than in the staff of other healthcare organizations; among them, tuberculosis occurred mostly in registered nursing staff and in nurse assistant staff.
Disinfectants types that played main role in the control of nosocomial transmission of M.tuberculosis were chlorine compounds, and quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) in combination with aldehydes.

Abstract

Although the incidence of extrapulmonary forms of tuberculosis in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) has relatively stabilized, growth in the incidence of osteoarticular tuberculosis can be observed. Total hip replacement is being introduced currently – a new high-tech treatment method to restore the mobility of the diseased hip in patients with tuberculosis of the hip and its sequelae. 17 patients underwent treatment with the new technique, using prostheses by Ceraver and Smith&Nephew.

91-94 8
Abstract

Analysis of coverage of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) with the first aid posts is presented, as first aid posts share significant responsibility for providing medical care to patients with tuberculosis and for keeping record on follow-up (dispensary) patients. Number of the foci of tuberculosis infection observed by the local first aid posts has been determined; age-specific, social and epidemiologic description of the tuberculosis infection foci has been done. In conclusion, first aid posts are one of the key healthcare units to follow-up patients with tuberculosis at their place of residence.
