[Pathogenetic aspects of the development of cholelithiasis in patients with metabolic syndrome].
Nowadays there is a steady tendency to increase the number of patients with gallstone disease and metabolic syndrome. Increasingly, gallstone disease is called a non-canonical cluster of metabolic syndrome, because the main components of metabolic syndrome are also modifiable risk factors for gallstone disease. This article discusses the pathogenetic parallels in the development of gallstone disease and metabolic syndrome - insulin resistance and hormones of adipose tissue, lipid metabolism disorders, immune factors and the cytokine system. There are described possible effects of cholecystectomy on metabolism in patients with metabolic syndrome.

To define the frequency of adverse events and loss of the response in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), treated with original medicine infliximab (IFX) “Remicaide” and its biosimilars. ⋯ Approximately 30% of IBD patients, receiving IFX biosimilar, will be switched to the other anti-TNF therapy or medicine with the another mechanism of action because of secondary loss of response or adverse events.

[Molecular factors associated with regression of liver fibrosis of alcoholic etiology].
Liver fibrosis develops as a result of chronic liver damage of various etiologies, is characterized by excessive synthesis of connective tissue by activated stellate liver cells. The toxic effect of alcohol is one of the most significant and common etiological factors worldwide. Stellate cell activation results from the interaction of multiple molecular fibrogenic pathways triggered by intracellular and extracellular, hepatic and extrahepatic stimuli. Data analysis showed that knowledge about these abnormal pathways and biomolecular processes may further contribute to the improvement of approaches to assessment of disease prognosis and treatment of alcoholic liver disease.

To determine the frequency of celiac disease (CD) among gastroenterological patients and criteria for its active detection. ⋯ The incidence of CD among patients with a gastroenterological symptoms was 4.2%. Analysis of clinical and laboratory data has shown that a comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators at the stage of primary treatment will allow timely identification of CD patients and prescribe GFD.

[Efficacy of butyric acid inclusion in eradication regimens for Helicobacter pylori infection: a meta-analysis of controlled trials].
Systematization of data on the efficacy and safety of butyric acid inclusion in eradication therapy (ET) regimens for Helicobacter pylori infection. ⋯ The present meta-analysis demonstrated that the inclusion of butyric acid in ET regimens for H. pylori infection significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the incidence of side effects. Apparently, the increase in the effectiveness of eradication is due to an increase in patient compliance with treatment due to an improvement in the safety profile of therapy.
