To evaluate an association of genetic polymorphisms CYP2C19, MDR1, and IL-1β on the eradication rate by 10-day modified therapy in patients with H. pylori - associated diseases. ⋯ Ten - day modified triple therapy with high dose rabeprazole significantly high eradication rates in patients with H. pylori - associated diseases. Independent factor for treatment failure is MDR1 CC/CT genotype status.

The natural course of cirrhosis is characterized by a shift from a compensated stage without clinical manifestations to a subsequent decompensated stage, which is characterized by the development of obvious clinical symptoms, the most frequent of which are ascites, bleeding from varicose veins, bacterial infections, encephalopathy. The articles and reviews of recent years emphasize the importance of etiotropic treatment of liver cirrhosis at any stage, including the final one. In addition, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy aimed at treating complications of cirrhosis of the liver: ascites, dilution hyponatremia, gastrointestinal bleeding, bacterial infections, and kidney damage comes to the forefront at the stage of decompensation, which allows the patient to be on the waiting list for liver transplantation. This category of patients, as a rule, is difficult to treat and has features and subtleties of reference.

Evaluate efficacy and safety of a combination of direct - acting antivirals narlaprevir/ritonavir with daclatasvir in patients with viral hepatitis C. ⋯ Efficacy of treatment with a combination of narlaprevir/ritonavir and daclatasvir in treatment - naïve patients with HCV genotype 1b was close to 90%. This combination was found to be safe and well - tolerated.

Case Reports
[Sorafenib - induced thyroiditis in patient with a relapse of acute myelomonocytic leukemia with FLT3-ITD mutation].
Sorafenib has been used in acute myeloid leukemias with FLT3-ITD mutation improving the outcomes. However the high incidence of treatment - emergent adverse event may be associated with treatment using sorafenib with cytotoxic chemotherapy. We have reported a case of severe thyroiditis in patient with a relapse of acute myelomonocytic leukemia.

From the standpoint of evidence - based medicine, the ability of various drugs to induce the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophagitis is considered. Thus, all known drugs can be divided into 3 groups: drugs that have the ability to reduce pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter, for example, β-adrenoreceptor agonists, α-adrenoreceptor antagonists, anticholinergics, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, benzodiazepines (diazepam), estrogen, progesterone, aminophylline (theophylline), tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, glucocorticosteroids; means providing a direct damaging effect on the esophageal mucosa, as well as lowering its resistance reflyuktatu, e.g., bisphosphonates, acetylsalicylic acid / non - steroidal anti - inflammatory agents, anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, iron preparations, ascorbic acid, potassium chloride, quinidine, phenytoin, calcium dobesilate, 131I sodium iodide, antibiotics (tetracycline, doxycycline, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, ornidazole, clindamycin, rifampicin), antitumor agents; drugs that impede gastric emptying: calcium channel blockers, anticholinergics. These data can be used in practice in the choice of treatment tactics, especially in individuals with a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease or heartburn.
