Rapid analysis of suppositories with ibuprofen and arbidol by quantitative¹H NMR spectroscopy was performed. Optimal conditions for the analysis were developed. The results are useful for design of rapid methods for quality control of suppositories with different components.

Antibacterial properties of the mycelium culture of Fomitopsis officinalis (Vill.: Fr.) Bondartsev et Singer were investigated. It was shown to be an additional source for production of antibacterial substances active against gramnegative bacteria. In the future, the use of Fomitopsis officinalis for production of antibacterial substances active against the pseudotuberculosis pathogen or pseudomonads is quite possible.

Comparability of the level and intensity of estrogen receptors ß (ERß expression in non-small cell lung cancer tissue of 32 patients was analyzed by flow cytometry using various antibodies - to the total fraction of ERß (clone 14C8) as well to the full-length ERß₁ isoform (clone EMRO2). The differences in the ER expression indexes detected by anti-ERß or anti-ERß₁ antibodies were revealed in some patients, but it had no influence on average indexes of the ERß expression in the patient groups investigated. It was confirmed by the findings on more frequent and more intensive expression of ERß in the non-small cell lung cancer tissue of female patients vs. the males irrespective of antibody type - anti-ERß or anti-ERß₁. Therefore, in comparative analysis of ERß expression in the groups of the patients with different clinicomorphologic characteristics of the disease it is possible to use both the antibodies. For individual disease prognosis in the routine clinical practice it is recommended to use the antibodies to the total fraction of ERß, since there are individual differences between the ERß expression indexes revealing by various types of antibodies.

The use of reamberin and cycloferon combination for increasing the antibacterial therapy efficacy in patients with chronic sepsis (CS) was studied. It was shown that the combination provided more rapid elimination of the CS exacerbation symptoms, normalization of the hematologic indices, bacteriemia eradication and reduction of the cytokine blood profile - normal serum levels of proinflammatory (IL-13, IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α) and antiinflammatory (IL-4) cytokines. The findings allowed to considered the use of the reamberin and cycloferon combination in the treatment of patients with CS pathogenetically reasonable and clinically perspective for increasing the antibacterial therapy efficacy.

The aim of the study was to estimate the use of hypoxen (antihypoxant) during the early postoperative course in gynecologic patients. The patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment scheme. 339 patients of the control group were under the routine therapy after the laparatomic gynecologic operations. 52 patients were additionally treated with hypoxen (antioxidant) (the main group). The impact of hypoxen on the antioxidant system and lipid peroxidation and its preventive effect on prolongation of the postoperative pain syndrom were estimated. The results of the study showed that hypoxen inhibited lipid peroxidation and activated the antioxidant system in the postoperative patients vs. the control group. It was also observed that among the patients additionally treated with hypoxen the percentage of those with prolonged postoperative pains was statistically lower (p<0.05, χ² test). It was concluded that hypoxen normalized lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system after abdominal gynecologic operations. The additional use of hypoxen in the routine therapy of the gynecologic patients prevented prolongation of the postoperative pain syndrom.

The aim of the study was to estimate the diagnostic and treatment patterns in the management of acute nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) in males in some cities of Russia. Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 2009 in 5 centers of 4 cities in the _ Central Part of Russia (Kaluga, Pskov, Smolensk - 2 cen- tres and Tula). The data on the diagnostic and treatment approaches to the management of NGU in male subjects >16 years old were collected and analyzed with the use of special ly designed case report forms. 556 cases of acute urethritis were analyzed during the study. The diagnosis of NGU was confirmed in 401 cases. The average age of the patients was 29.8 years (16-68 years). The following diagnostic methods were used in 95% of the cases: urethral smear microscopy (314/82.4%), C.trachomatis - PCR (113/29.7%), ELISA (155/40.7%); T.vaginalis - PCR (106/27.8%); U.urealyticum and M.hominis, respectively - bacteriology (140/36.7% and 126/33.1%), PCR (110/28.9% and 108/28.3%); M.genitalium - PCR (110/28.9%). The treatment patterns included antimicrobials AMs alone in 60.3, and AMs + non-AMs in 37.8% of the cases. The most frequently prescribed AMs were azithromycin (27.5%), fluconazole (16.4%), doxycycline (13.6%), metronidazole (11.2%), of loxacine (7.3%), ceftriaxone (4.4%), josamycin (4.2). According to the results use of the standard methods for NGU diagnosis was rather rare. The use of PCR for atypical pathogens was the following: C.trachomatis 29.7%, U.urealyticum 36.7%, M.hominis 28.9%, M.genitalium 28.3%. Doubtful culture methods were used for detection of U.urealyticum and M.hominis (36.7% and 33.1%). The AMs treatment in some cases was not in compliance with the up-to-date practical guidelines for STD and NGU.

At present, the conception of the use, efficacy and safety of hepatotropic agents in treatment of drug-induced liver injury, in particular due to antituberculosis drugs is not yet final, which is conditioned by extremely rare clinical trials on the subject adequate to the up-to-date principles of the conclusive medicine. The review presents data on the hepatotoxic effect of antituberculosis drugs, analysis and systematization of the data on the use of hepatotropic agents in liver injury induced by antituberculosis drugs, the principles and characteristics of their clinical use. The mechanism of action of remaxol, a new original hepatotropic agent and the indications of its use are discussed. The experimental findings on the remaxol ability to decrease the antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury through lowering the carbohydrate, albuminous and fatty degeneration and activating the organ reduction are presented. The clinical trials are evident of the most efficient action of remaxol on the signs of toxemia, as well as cytolysis and cholestasis, which along with its antiasthenic and antidepressant action allows to use remaxol as an universal hepatotropic agent in the treatment of diverse drug-induced liver injuries in both the therapeutic and prophylactic schemes.
