One of the trends in modern cardiology is the study of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system. Currently, an increase in plasma concentrations of some MMPs and their tissue inhibitors is considered as one of the earliest biochemical markers of myocardial fibrosis in various diseases of the cardiovascular system. Discusses the importance of MMP in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). ⋯ In patients with obesity and paroxysmal AF, a significant increase in the parameters of the MMP system (MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1) was revealed when compared with obese patients without heart rhythm disorders (p0.05). With an increase in MMP-9 of more than 285 ng/ml in obese patients, the appearance of AF with a sensitivity of 74.5% and a specificity of 94% can be predicted.

Biliary sludge (BS) refers to the pre-stone stage of gallstone disease. Timely treatment of this condition with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) drugs helps prevent the progression of the disease. However, not all drugs used in practice are equally effective in relieving clinical manifestations, resolving sludge according to ultrasound results and tolerance. ⋯ The drug studied by us demonstrated high efficiency in relation to patients with BS, while there were minimal side effects, which led to a better tolerability of therapy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Efficacy and safety of bulevirtide in patients with chronic hepatitis D and compensated cirrhosis].
To study the efficacy and safety of bulevirtide, the HBV and HDV entry inhibitor. ⋯ Bulevirtide is recommended as the first line of treatment for chronic hepatitis D in patients with compensated cirrhosis in monotherapy and combination with PEG-IFN.
