Diet and lifestyle guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes amog elderly persons
Abstract
Elderly subjects have unique nutrient needs with revised recommended dietary reference intakes based on age, sex, ethnicity and special vulnerability to compromised nutrient status. The food intake tends to decrease with advancing age due to decreased physical activity and metabolic rate. However vitamin; A, E, C, B vitamins and beta-carotine and minerals magnesium, calcium, selenium, chromium, zinc and copper as well as w-3 fatty acids needs either remain constant or increase. Omega-3 fatty acid, calcium, vitamin D and magnesium and antioxidant intakes are inversely associated with ageing and other complications like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and dementia as well as cancers. It is pertinent to advise to eat 400 g/day of fruits, vegetables and nuts and another 400 g/day of whole grains in conjunction with 25-40 g/day of canola oil or mustered oil, depending upon energy requirement, for prevention of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Visualization of amplitude-phase relationships in entrainment processes
Abstract
In the present research the visualization of amplitude-phase relationships in entrainment processes is based on the expression serial time sections [3] allow tracing the behavior of different parameters of any rhythmical component of spectrum during a time which includes spans before, during and after any synchronizing (desynchronizing) event. There is a simple and noninvasive method for acquiring information on the visualization of amplitude-phase relationships. The method used the mathematical and graphic analysis simultaneously visualization the dynamics of amplitude, its statistical significance and acrophase in entrainment processes, the three modifications of serial sections was elaborated: procedure of adding logarithms of P-values-matrices, plotting 2D image and 3D image.
As examples for illustration serial section method, automatic measurements of blood pressure (BP), both systolic (S) and diastolic (D), and heart rate (HR) were used. Five flights from Minneapolis (USA) to Saint-Petersburg (Russia) crossing 9 time zones and 4 flights in the opposite direction were performed during that time (during the second return flight, no measurements were taken).
The simultaneous drop in amplitude and the rapid shift in acrophase associated with West-to-East flights, and more gradual changes for East-to-the-West flights led to the hypothesis that the rapid entrainment is performed by collapse of the rhythm at a singularity time point.
Application of the present method has allowed the authors to carry out visualised dynamic chronobiological the control parameters of cardiovascular system.
The method has higher diagnostic value in comparison with well-known procedures of an estimation of chronomedicine.

The polymorphism c677t of the gene MTHFR correlates with the complications of the coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension for the patients with dislipidaemia
Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the possibility of the application the genotyping of the patients with dislipidaemia as an additional factor for the prediction of the cardiovascular complications. The distribution of the polymorphism C677T of the gene MTHFR among the 62 patients with dislipidaemia was studied. Allele-specific PCR was applied for detection the C677T mutation/ These results provide the genetic evidence that 677T allele of the gene MTHFR correlates with the development of the complications of the coronary heart disease for the patients with dislipidaemia (p = 0,01). It was demonstrated that more complex and durable antihypertension and cardiotropic therapy must be applicated for the carries of the 677T allele among the dislipidaemia patients. These data indicate the appreciable role C677T polymorphism of MTHFR for the decreasing of the cardiovascular complications among the patients with dislipidaemia and for detection the complexity and longevity of the medical treatments.

Blood preserving technology in cardiac surgery
Abstract
According to the program of blooding surgery 297 patients were operated with coronary heart disease, acquired and congenital cardiac diseases and others. The introduction of principles of bloodless surgery is favoured by not only risk from donor transfusion, but also by the results of the reserchers dealing with the body's adaptation to acute anemia. The present study was undertaken to make a scientific-and-practical assessment of actual own blood funds and their introduction in order to decrease or refuse to use donor blood at cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation. Own blood saving methods, such as acute normovolemic hemodilution, washed autoerythrocytic reinfusion, autoplasma reinfusion, become affective in reducing hemorrhage after extracorporeal circulation. This method is safe, simple in organization, and permitted to avoid allogeneic blood transfusion and its complications.

Perioperative prevention of cardiovascular complications in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the infrarenal aorta
Abstract
The study involved 237 patients aged 54 to 69 years who underwent aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery due to the atherosclerosis of aorta and its branches. Depending on a method of the anesthesia, patients were divided into 3 groups: in 1st group NLA was used, in the 2nd - epidural anesthesia at ThXII-LI with mechanical ventilation and in the 3rd - thoracic epidural anesthesia at ThX-ThXI with mechanical ventilation. The patient groups were representative.
The most high and stable rates of coronary blood flow and central hemodynamics were in patients with thoracic epidural anesthesia (ThX-ThXI) with mechanical ventilation, due to the small doses of local anesthetic combined with a narcotic analgesic.
Blockade of the sympathetic trunk has provided the most high and stable parameters of coronary flow, stroke output index and cardiac output fraction compared with other groups of patients.

Assessment of endothelial function in children and adolescents with arterial hypertension by high-resolution ultrasound
Abstract
In 72 children and adolescents with arterial hypertension I-II st. after reactive hyperemia using high resolution ultrasound lower rates of increase in the diameter of the brachial artery (BA) and peak blood flow velocity were detected compared to the normotensive control group of children that may be regarded as the depletion of vasodilatation. In children and adolescents with hypertension during occlusion test а more significant decrease of the diameter of BA was revealed, indicating the functional arteriolar hypertonicity, as well as the possible remodeling of arterial vessels. These results should be interpreted as increased tone of BA in children and adolescents with hypertension.

Diagnosis aggregation aspirin resistance in patients after myocardial infarction in the secondary prevention of thrombotic complications
Abstract
The use of acetylsalicylic acid as antiaggregant is the standard antithrombotic therapy for secondary prevention in patients with myocardial infarction. But the methods of monitoring and analysis of cause of variable efficiency of this therapy is not currently specified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate platelet aggregation activity in patients with myocardial infarction and analysis of the causes of aggregation aspirin resistance. We examined 79 patients after myocardial infarction receiving aspirin. Presented the characteristics of aggregation curves corresponding to an effective antiplatelet therapy. It was revealed that the development of aggregation aspirin resistance depends on the presence of concomitant diseases, as well as receiving beta-blockers and diuretics, and does not depend on the concentration of platelets and acetylsalicylic acid in the blood.
