The clinical and epideiological features of tick-borne encephalitis at the endemical region of Russia’s European part by O. N. Lyubeznova, A. L. Bondarenko

“…It noted an acute onset of the disease with severe intoxication, inflammatory syndrome, which in focal forms was significantly more pronounced than at hectic (p <0,01) and meningeal (p<0,01). In clinical structure of focal forms of the following options allocated: polioencefalitic form – 33,6%, encephalitic form – 23,0%, poliomielitic form – 11,5%, and mixed versions: encefalitic-polioencefalitic rorm – 12,4%, polioencefaliticmielitic form – 8.0%, encefalitic-poliomielitic form – 4,4% encefalitic-polioencefalitic-mielitic form – 7,1%.In 50,4% of patients were marked by the residual effects: asthenovegetative syndrome (32.0%), glaring peripheral mono and paraparesis of up and low extremities (24,3%), cerebellum ataxia – 5,8%, drooping head syndrome (4,9%), central hemiparesis (1,0%).Thus, the tick-borne encephalitis is a disease relevant to the Kirov region. …”

Low-frequensy penetration of elastic waves through a periodic array of cracks by Michael. Yu. Remizov

“…In the one-mode range, the approximation of the problem is reduced to a system of the hypersingular integral equations whose solution gives these coefficients and an explicit representation of the wave field inside the structure. Discussion and Conclusions. The desired control of the acoustic filtering in the considered grating can be arranged by the appropriate choice of the crack’s length, respective frequency interval, and finally - by the distance between two vertical arrays containing periodic systems of cracks.…”

Clinical and pathological features of 10 cases of Fabry’s disease with renal damage by HE Juan, WANG Di, TIAN Xiu-juan, YU Yan, XU Guo-shuang

“…Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and pathological features of the hereditary disease(Fabry’s disease)with renal damage.Methods The clinical manifestations,and laboratory tests and renal pathology data of 10 cases of Fabry’s disease,mainly relating to renal damage,were collected from Department of Nephrology,Affiliated Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from September 1997 to January 2020,and the clinical manifestations,pathological features,treatment and prognosis of Fabry’s disease were discussed.Results All the 10 patients were male,and aged 13～66 years with an average age of 28.6.Renal damage was characterized by proteinuria(9 cases,90%),microscopic hematuria(7 cases,70%),and decreased glomerular filtration rate(7 cases,70%),with 3 cases(30%)progressing to end-stage renal disease(ESRD).Outside the kidney,ventricular septal hypertrophy(3 cases,30%),skin rash(3 cases,30%),limb paresthesia(2 cases,20%),keratopathy(1 case,10%),and hearing loss(3 cases,30%)were found.The pathological manifestations of the kidney were diffused vacuolar degeneration and foam-like degeneration of podocytes observed under light microscope,partially accompanied by foam-like degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells.Segmentalized or nodular sclerosis was observed in the glomeruli,which was easily misdiagnosed as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.Under electron microscope,the cytoplasm of tissue cells showed a large number of layered circular myelin sheath-like bodies and zebra bodies.Conclusions Fabry’s disease is common in young men,and renal damage is lack of specificity.Most of the manifestations are mild to moderate proteinuria and different degrees of renal insufficiency,and can progress to ESRD.Pathological examination of the kidney is of great significance.Osmiophilic myelin sheath-like inclusion body is its characteristic structure.Among extrarenal manifestations cardiac lesions are the most common.…”
