Acute liver failure (ALF) is defined by the appearance of signs or symptoms of hepatic failure and encephalopathy during the course of acute drug induced liver injury in a patient without previous or underlying chronic liver disease in less than 2 to 3 month time. The recovery from the loss of functional liver mass in acute liver injury occurs more readily than in the chronic setting because of the lack of long-standing fibrosis and portal hypertension, and the host’s overall better nutritional status. Therefore, if the individual can be supported properly throughout the acute event, and the inciting injury is removed or ameliorated, recovery will follow the rapid regeneration of liver cells.

STUDY COMPARATIVE ACTIVITY OF CEFEPIME AND OTHER ANTIBIOTICS AGAINST NONFERMENTING BACTERIA AND SOME REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FAMILY ENTEROBACTERIACEAE

Tbilisi State Medical University, Direction of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Department of Microbiology, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.21-24

 

The article presents data about comparative activity of cefepime and other antibiotics against gram-negative microbes from the family Enterobacteriaceae. Averages of 5% of all microbial strains were resistant to cefepime. The highest activity against members of the Enterobacteriaceae of cephalosporins had cephalosporin IV generation – cefepime. Antipseudonal and inhibitor protected penicillins had relatively low activity. The highest activity was characterized cefepime, ceftazidime and amikacin less. Considering that cefepime had high activity to bacteria from Enterobacteriace family which we studied, it can be used as one of the drugs of choice for the treatment of infections caused by gram-negative Enterobacteria.

Manganese (Mn) toxicity is known to occur in certain occupational settings through inhalation of Mn-containing dust. The brain is particularly susceptible to this excess Mn and accumulation there can cause a neurodegenerative disorder known as manganism. Characteristics of this disease are described as Parkinson-like symptoms. The similarities between the two disorders can be partially explained by the fact that the basal ganglia accumulate most of the excess Mn compared with other brain regions in manganism, and dysfunction in the basal ganglia is also the etiology of Parkinson’s disease. The mechanisms by which increased Mn levels can cause neuronal dysfunction are yet to be elucidated. However, emerging studies are beginning to provide significant evidence of Mn effects on cortical structures and cognitive function at lower levels than previously recognized.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.27-29

 

 

During 2009-2012 in the whole Georgia as well as in Tbilisi only single cases od measles were detected. In 2013 the epidemiological situation drastically changed and measles epidemic broke out. That year 3743 cases were revealed in Tbilisi, in 2014 – 1365. The highest incidence level was indicated in children under 1 year of age. Adults, especially of the age group 20-29, were actively involved in the epidemic process. 

Study of disease history of the cases showed that the vast majority of them either had not been vaccinated or had received only one dose of measles vaccine.  In order to prevent measles epidemic in future, we consider it necessary to have coverage level with vaccination over 95%.

THE RADIATION SAFETY OF THE PATIENT WITH X-RAY STUDIES

TSMU, Environmental Health andOccupational Medicine Department, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.32-34

 

It is known that at present total dose of population radiation from all sources makes up 4.2mZv/per year. According to the recommendations of the Radiation Protection International Commission the quantity reducing stochastic effects to the minimum level is 5mZv/per year, this  means that the current actual radiation dose  of population is limited. The aim of the study was to study the statistic data of X-ray procedures conducted in Georgia during recent years and calculate the average maximum effective doses for radiological procedures. As shown by the statistical data, the volume of radiological procedures is increasing, which is the basis to excess the population doses. We have proposed the calculation of effective doses in four main age groups, it can be used to assess the patient’s  radiation after  X-ray examination.

SODIUM PUMP ENDOGENOUS INHIBITORS, SALT- SENSITIVITY AND 

SALT-SENSITIVE HYPERTENSION: STUDY IN GEORGIAN POPULATION

Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Department of Geriatrics, Department of Internal Medicine, Tbilisi State Medical University, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.36-40

 

Clinical and experimental studies suggest possible multi-level involvement association ofsodium pump endogenous inhibitors (EO and MBG) in the development of salt-sensitivity in normotensive subjects and in pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension.

The goal of our study was to elucidate the role of EO and MBG in the development of salt-sensitivity and salt-sensitive hypertension in Georgian patients.

Results of our preliminary study showed that in Georgia both healthy and hypertensive subjects consume high amount of sodium. Development of salt-sensitivity and salt-sensitive hypertension might be due to sodium pump endogenous inhibitors. Based on our results we would suggest that high incidence of hypertension in Georgia might be related to the prevalence of salt-sensitivity in both normotensives and hypertensives.

Our results have shown that in Georgians prevalence of salt-sensitivity exceeds average values and development of salt-sensitivity, and salt-sensitive hypertension might be due to increased production of sodium pump endogenous inhibitors.

Complications from alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) usually occur after years of heavy drinking. These complications can be serious. Although there is a clear relationship between the risk of ALD and the dose of alcohol consumed, additional risk factors include genetic predisposition, gender, nutritional status, obesity, and co-existing liver diseases such as hepatitis C. ALD ranges from steatosis to alcoholic steatohepatitis and established cirrhosis. Several mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiology of ALD, including oxidative damage secondary to alcohol metabolism, and endotoxaemia leading to tumor necrosis factor a-mediated cell damage and death. In case of unsuccessful therapy of abstinence period should be considered liver transplantation.

Cleft lip and palate are one of the most common congenital malformations. On average, about one in every 700 live births results in a cleft lip and palate in the world. In Georgia prevalence rate is 0,65±0,15per 1000 births during 2011-2014. However, its frequency varies across regions. For example, in Mtskheta-Mtianeti region prevalence rate is 2,02 per 1000 and in Samtskhe-Javakheti region – only 0,14 per 1000. This pathology is not widely spread in Tbilisi, where the prevalence rate is 0,27±0,06 per 1000 births at the time of the research.

Transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) test is used to determine cochlear status, specifically hair cell function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on hearing function by using TOAE. Material and methods: Research was conducted at National Centre of Otorhinolaryngology and National Center of Audiology. The data were collected from octomber 2013 to May 2015. 120 persons within the age range of 30-65 were involved into the research, among them 60 smokers (average age – 52.7±8.3) and 60 nonsmoker (average age 50.8±11.7) were involved in the present study. All OAEs measurements were performed by Madsen Capella’s-OAE/middle ear analyzer-GN Otometrics, Danmark in both groups. After all persons were measured by pure tone audiometry (MA-30 and MA-31, Präcitronik). The received results were statistically treated by student t-criteria (p<0.05).

The results show that the audiograms of all subjects with normal TOAEs were in normal ranges. The main difference between  the data of TOAEs and audiograms was established in smokers’ group: decreased amplitude of TOAE revealed in 51 subjects and 46 of them had no changes on their audiograms: it means, that 90,2% (P<0,05) of the smokers without complains and with normal audiograms have subclinical,  hidden hearing problems. TOAE, as significantly sensitive method can be used for evaluation of subclinical dysfunction of hearing, when there are no subjective complaints on hearing loss and hearing thresholds on audiogram are normal as well.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.97-99

 

The recent rapid increase of the volume of information and emotional load raises children’s mental requirements. Mental activities that are identified by physical processes such as: attention, memory, thinking, etc. becomes active, develops and forms in the process of the physical exercise. 

This paper aimed to identify the impact of the physical education classes on a 10-12 year old students. The research was conducted in two public schools in Tbilisi. In the first school the physical education classes are held on a regular basis, whereas in the second school there are no physical education classes at all.  In total 47 schoolchildren from 10 to 12 years old were examined. We studied reasoning – with the test “exclude the word”, (aimed for 10-12 year old schoolchildren); the dynamics of learning skills – “memorizing 12 words”; Perception reaction – with the “Schult” test.

As the result analysis show, in the first school where physical education classes are held on a regular basis, schoolchildren’s mental development index, particularly: reasoning, memorizing skill and perception reaction – is significantly higher.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2016, 1, pp.102-104

 

 

The possible relationship between levels of nitrogen dioxide in the air and incidence of respiratory diseases among the population has been studied.

Identified that there is no relation between the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the air and incidence of respiratory diseases among the population.

It has to be considered, that besides nitrogen dioxide there are many adverse factors with small intensity, which are also risk factors for development of respiratory diseases. Isolated action of these factors with certain concentrations may not demonstrate any adverse effect on human health, but the combined effect of their action is stronger and obviously will affect general health and specifically - respiratory system.

Implementation of urgent measures for further improvement of the ambient air quality has been recommended, which will be the basis for minimizing the incidence of many chronic diseases.
