The frequency and trend of distribution of cleft lip and palate in Georgia was studied for years 2006-2015. It was established that in the analyzed period this abnormality had decreasing trend in the country and the minimal number of cases occurred in 2014: 0.76/1000 newborns. The similar situation was seen in the capital of the country Tbilisi and in the Eastern Georgia, excluding Tbilisi. The situation was different in the Western Georgia where this abnormality was seen the least frequently. On this territory there was no decreasing trend. In years 2006-2010 the average rate of cleft lip and palate was 0.62/1000, in years 2011-2015 it became 0.65/1000.

The aim of the work is to determine the major sensitive criteria of immunologic and genetics antigens that allow timely discovery of negative influence of manganese on organism and assist in early diagnosis of primary stages of occupational pathology caused by manganese.

The workers of Georgian mining and processing of manganese were observed. Also we have studied professional groups of workers having contact with manganese aerosols.

It was distinguished that,

-      Protracted professional contact with manganese causes increase of occupational pathology.

-      Upon the studies of people, having a direct contact with manganese, immunological  analysis should be given a preference with the aim of revealing the changes in immunological systems, which is one of the first signals for occupational lookout and medical monitoring of the similar contingent.

Despite the increase in consumption of  dextromethorphan containing drugs and accompanying problems such as: injuries,  violence,  deaths,  motor vehicle accidents,  physical dependence or psychological addiction, in recent years  information about the acute intoxication, drug abuse and the methods of treatment against psychoactive containing substance is quite scanty. We were aimed to investigate addiction potential of muggituse and treatment peculiarities. 18-25 years old 8 patients consuming muggituse and other psychoactive remedies (dextromethorphan 200-500; gabapentin 900-1800 mg; baclofen 75-150 mg, during 1-7 months) with the diagnosis of disorders of mental and behavioral disorders were under observation. Results of investigations have shown that although dextromethorphan has mild addiction potential, it must be used carefully in combination with other psychoactive preparations and alcoholics.

Tbilisi State Medical University, Department of Pharmacorherapy, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.36-40

 

 

The goal of the present experimental study was the evaluation of hepatoprotective action of monotherapy and combined therapy with corvitin and acetylcistein in paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity on the basis of histomorphological alteration during hepatic toxic injury. Experiments were carried out in male Wistar rats weighing 150.0-180.0g. (n=50).  Patacetamol-indused hepatic toxicity was revealed  in spread necrosis of hepatocytes. Monotherapy with corvitin and acetylcistein and especially their combination was accompanied by high hepatoprotective properties. 

Assumingly  the hepatoprotective action of corvitin is associated with its antioxidant activity, increasing synthesis of gluthation and reversal in paracetamol toxic metabolite level. It is suggested that in patacetamol-indused acute toxicity the combinacion of corvitin and acetylcistein may be distinguished with high valuability.

The quality of life is a significant indicator of health. His study was the purpose of our research. The study was conducted in different groups of patients. The groups were divided by the knowledge of health issues. The study showed that there was no significant difference between the groups. The quality of life in groups was average

Methods. Data from population-based cancer registry was used in order to estimate 1-year and 5-years relative survival rates for breast cancer. To identify predictors for low survival time, was performed bivariate analysis.  Statistical analyses looked at correlations between possible predictors and survival period.From thecancer registry database 190 breast cancer cases, whose diagnosis were conformed histologically and died in 2015 were included in a statistical analysis.

Results. The results of bivariate analysis, show that late stage at diagnosis (OR=1.89, 95%CI=0.74-4.68), a young age of patients at diagnosis (OR=1.89, 95%CI=0.50–7.17), highly differentiated histological grade (OR=1.21, 95%CI=0.44 - 3.54),  is positively correlated with low survival period (less than 5 years), while having mastectomy (OR=0.52, 95%CI=0.27–0.89), adjuvant chemotherapy (OR=0.38, 95%CI=0.20–0.74), and a radiotherapy (OR=0.62, 95%CI=0.31–1.25), have statistically significant positive association with high (more than 5 years),  survival period. 

Conclusions: modifiable factors, that are predictors for low survival of breast cancer in Georgia are stage of disease at diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Recommendations: Survival time of Breast Cancer could be increased by early detection and implementation of standardized approaches to management of diseases.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.51-53

 

Research with human participation and production of new knowledge in medical field is getting more and more topical throughout the world due to the bio- and chemical terrorism threat, increasing population, spreading infectious diseases, increasing migration and  etc.

Involving human subjects in research requires proper justification and following of some biomedical research principles. Among them ethical issues are to be highly considered.

Any research with human participation involves two key principles: research ethics and quality. The inviolability of the participants’ private life and confidentiality of the data should be adequately protected; the results of the research should be widely and easily accessible.

International scientific and ethical standards cover any stage of research – planning, conducting, data obtaining, recording and their reporting. It also provides rights and safety guarantees of research participants; the use of results (positive or negative) in practice implies the improvement of health and well-being of the overall population.

 

In the context of the health care system, the above-mentioned standard studies are complementary to the health policy in its various aspects; it promotes the development and implementation of higher quality, genuine and equal medical services provision.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.67-70

 

The doctor is the oldest profession in today’s profession and medicine has been developing over the centuries and has played a major role in its development. In the war situation, medical care requires some extra training and skills, for which special care and skills are needed, including “military doctor”, doctor’s assistant, medical orderly, combatant medical orderly and so on. Special treatments as well as management mechanisms are also special. Historically well known fact is the presence of physicians in “Georgians” in the Georgian combat units, this is confirmed by Shota Rustaveli’s immortal poem “Vepkhistkaosani”, where he reminds him that “one slave combat units had to be drawn to me, and he did not pain me. Unfortunately in 2010 the “Military Doctor” of the profession was withdrawn from the National Qualification and Professional Framework of Georgia and the profession was abolished. There are probably no ten countries in the world where military medicine is not present or is not developed, such as Nauru, Andorra, Papua, Grenada, Samoa, Costa Rica, Solomons and Georgia. But in contrast, they have no army. Given the geopolitical situation of Georgia, the profession “military doctor” acquires national importance and it is important to restore military medicine in Georgia and gain regional importance. For this purpose, “National Military Medical Academy of Georgia” was created for the purpose of rehabilitation and rehabilitation of armed forces, higher, medium and supporting medical personnel, to conduct scientific work in military medical direction. The development of military medicine in Tbilisi is conducted in 2017 from Doctoral studies at the Tbilisi State University on the topic “Need, Delivery and Effectiveness, Learning and Evaluation of Health Conditions and Medical Assistance for Military Servicemen and Members of Their Family”.

Preventive Cardiological Cabinet under Georgia Overseas Friendship International Society,

Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.74-76

 

We conducted outpatient observation of 32 patients (28 men, 4 women) suffered from Hyperlipidemia aged between 34-87. All of them had a high level of cholesterol and triglycerides. We conducted the one-month course of combined antioxidant therapy using Dioskoridi and Geomin in therapeutic doses.

As a result of antilipid treatment in 16 out of 32 patients (50%) the cholesterol level return to normal. As for the elevated levels of low-density, its reduction to the upper limit of normal was observed in 4(12.5%) cases. The increase in high density cholesterol was identified in the same patients at the same time. Andonly 8 patients (25%) were diagnosed with a slight decrease in triglycerides.

This study allows us to make the following conclusions:

1.   The combined application of antioxidants: Dioskoridi and Geomin for thirty days improves lipid profile to some extent.

2.   Based on natural architectonics of Dioskoridi and Geomin may be freely prescribed for long-term.

3.   There  is prospect of imminent use of Antioxidants with the ability to act at the cellular level in terms of prevention – treatment  of Atherosclerosis.

ROLE OF KUPFFER CELLS IN HOST DEFENSE AND LIVER DISEASES

Tbilisi State Medical University, Department of  Human Normal Anatomy, Department of Dermato-Venereology, Department of Topographic Anatomy, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.76-78

 

Kupffer cells (KC) constitute 80-90% of the tissue macrophages present in the body. They reside within the lumen of the liver sinusoids, and are therefore constantly exposed to gut-derived bacteria, microbial debris and bacterial endotoxins, known to activate macrophages. Upon activation KC release various products, including cytokines, prostanoides, nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species. These factors regulate the phenotype of KC themselves, and the phenotypes of neighboring cells, such as hepatocytes, stellate cells, endothelial cells and other immune cells that traffic through the liver. Therefore, KC are intimately involved in the liver’s response to infection, toxins, ischemia, resection and other stresses. This review summarizes established basic concepts of KC function as well as their role in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases.

TSSU, Nutritional and Age Medicine, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.86-88

 

 

The increasing number of GI tract infections is detected in Georgia; however complete assessment of cases is not done, because of lack of reports from household. Therefore awareness of population on mandatory hygiene measures will reducerisks of food poisoning associated with; behavior of the population during buying, storing, cooking and preparing food.

The main goal of our studies was evaluation of risks due to food borne diseases/intoxications among population of Tbilisi, by random sampling and using questionnaire. Research covered 120 families, and persons over 18 years old, responsible for cooking and preparing meal at home. Most of respondents noted that they are not informed well about safety of food, preparing, storing and etc. and there is no any guide on hygiene measures and safety of products.

Our studies confirm necessity to create guidebook for consumers as well as for manufacturers, because both are responsible for food safety.

TSMU, Biochemistry department, Tbilisi, Georgia

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 2, pp.91-94

 

Social and environmental conflicts, irrational distribution of working and resting periods are the characteristic features of modern life which promotes the development of emotional stress. 

The aim of our research was to study the changes in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells during stress conditions modeled by social isolation and disrupting of circadian rhythm.

The experiment was conducted on male, white laboratory rats (N=22). Activity of the following enzymes: superoxidismutase, catalase, glutathioreductase and glutathione peroxidase, as well as the concentrations of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide were checked for the evaluation of antioxidant system. The concentrations of melatonin, serotonin, and corticosteron have been determined also.

Our results show the imbalance between antioxidant and prooxidant systems; alongside to the disturbance of circadian rhythm the concentrations of malonedialdehydeand corticosteronare considerably high. More research is needed to give some recommendation for new practical approaches for the diseases caused by emotional stress.
