[Analysis of body composition in patients with metabolic syndrome by the bioimpedance method].

Women with metabolic syndrome in the post menopause were examined by the biompedansometria. Peculiarities of their actual feeding at home have been investigated by the computer program on the basis of the frequency method. Establish that disbalance in the consumption of the food substance and expression of the grease on the composition of the body.

[Analysis of lipid plasma spectrum and basic parameters of red cell membranes in patients with metabolic syndrome and ischemic heart disease]. / Analiz lipidnogo spektra plazmy i osnovnykh parametrov kletochnykh membran éritrotsitov u bol'nykh s metabolicheskim sindromom i ishemicheskoi bolezn'iu.

Specific features of lipid plasma spectrum and principal parameters of red cell membranes are characterized in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic stable ischemic heart disease (IHD). 109 patients with metabolic syndrome (diabetes mellitus type 2, arterial hypertension, abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia) were divided into 2 groups: with and without IHD. MS patients with IHD had marked defects of lipid metabolism with hypercholesterolemia, high levels of triglycerides, LDLP cholesterol, low level of HDLP cholesterol. Lipid plasma spectrum in MS patients with IHD vs those without coronary atherosclerosis was characterized by a significantly lower level of apo A1. In red cell membranes these patients had lower fractions of esterified cholesterol combined with high intensity of lipid peroxidation.

[Effectiveness of fenspiride in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis]. / Effektivnost' fenspirida u bol'nykh khronicheskim obstruktivnym bronkhitom.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of moderate severity were investigated for two months for assessment of fenspiride activity. Examination of the patients (age 42.6 +/- 5.3) took place before and after fenspiride therapy. In comparison to the control group, fenspiride patients showed improvement of external respiration function: FEV 1, FVC, FEF 50-75, PEF increased. Dienic conjugates, malonic dialdehyde levels decreased, alpha-tocopherol in platelet membranes rose, functional activity of platelets fell. Side effects were rare and not serious. It is concluded that fenspiride has an antiinflammatory effect, reduces bronchoconstriction and depresses platelet aggregation, is well tolerated. Fenspiride is an effective drug for the treatment of moderate chronic obstructive bronchitis.
