To study the polymorphic markers CYP2D6*4 (G1846A, rs3892097), CYP2D6*6 (T1707del, rs5030655), CYP2D6*10 (C100T, rs1065852), CYP2D6*41 (G2988A, rs28371725) and CYP2D6*3 (A2549del, rs4986774) role in treatment optimization of portal hypertension with propranolol in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). ⋯ An association was found between CYP2D6 gene polymorphic marker G1846A carriage and the hemodynamic effect of propranolol in patients with LC of the Russian population. There is a more significant positive dynamics of manifestations of portal hypertension on the background of propranolol therapy in carriers of the homozygous GG CYP2D6*4 genotype, in contrast to patients with the heterozygous GA genotype. Based on the results of the study, an algorithm has been developed for personalizing the treatment of patients with LC with nonselective b-adrenergic blockers using the method of CYP2D6 genotyping. Carriage of polymorphic markers T1707del, C100T, G2988A and A2549del gene CYP2D6 does not affect the effectiveness of propranolol therapy in patients with LC.

The National Consensus was prepared with the participation of the National Medical Association for the Study of the Multimorbidity, Russian Scientific Liver Society, Russian Association of Endocrinologists, Russian Association of Gerontologists and Geriatricians, National Society for Preventive Cardiology, Professional Foundation for the Promotion of Medicine Fund PROFMEDFORUM. The aim of the multidisciplinary consensus is a detailed analysis of the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the main associated conditions. The definition of NAFLD is given, its prevalence is described, methods for diagnosing its components such as steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis are described. ⋯ Its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and cytoprotective properties, the ability to reduce steatosis an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular pathology, reduce inflammation and hepatic fibrosis through the modulation of autophagy are considered. The ability of ursodeoxycholic acid to influence glucose and lipid homeostasis and to have an anticarcinogenic effect has been demonstrated. The Consensus statement has advanced provisions for practitioners to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD and related common pathogenetic links of cardio-metabolic diseases.

Erosive and ulcerative lesions of the digestive tract are one of the most pressing problems in the clinic of internal diseases due to the extremely widespread prevalence, the presence of severe complications, often fatal, diagnostic difficulties due to the presence of a large number of asymptomatic pathologies and difficulties in the rational choice of therapy. Particularly noteworthy is the data that during the global pandemic of Covid-19 infection, it is capable, quite often, of causing the development of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. ⋯ One of them is Rebamipid-CZ, which has a fairly high safety and efficacy profile. It seems important to consider the issues of optimizing the prevention and treatment of erosive and ulcerative lesions of various parts of the gastrointestinal tract of various etiologies, taking into account the possibility of using rebamipide both as part of complex therapy and in isolation.

The article reflects the potential for correcting intestinal microbiota disorders in the complex therapy of patients with COVID-19. It has been noted that the inclusion of dietary fiber in the diet contributes to protection against disruption of the integrity of the intestinal barrier and may limit bacterial translocation into the systemic circulation. The possibility of using psyllium (Mucofalk) is reflected, the action of which is realized both through its sorption, cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties in viral lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, and through stimulation of the own beneficial intestinal microbiota. ⋯ Detailed data are provided on the mechanisms of the positive effect of short-chain fatty acid preparations on reducing the severity of the disease in patients with COVID-19. It was noted that taking the drug Zacofalk leads to a significant increase in its own butyrate-producing microbiota (Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and suppression of the growth of opportunistic flora with pro-inflammatory activity. The results of a recent study are presented showing that in patients with a mild course of COVID infection with respiratory and intestinal symptoms, the administration of Zakofalk for 30 days (3 tablets per day) led to significantly faster stool normalization (by day 7), persistent normalization of the frequency and consistency of stools by the 21st day and a significantly more pronounced regression of bloating and abdominal pain, as well as a decrease in the risk of developing post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome.

The article presents an analysis of the literature on food intolerance (FS) associated with the presence in the diet of fermentable oligodimosaccharides and polyols FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols), histamine and food additives. The relationship between FS and insufficient activity of enzymes of the small intestine mucosa, in particular, in patients with irritable bowel syndrome, is discussed. FS often noted in them forces them to strictly adhere to the elimination diet and significantly impair the quality of life due to dissatisfaction with the results of treatment. Analysis of the literature has confirmed in many patients with irritable bowel syndrome an etiotropic relationship with poor food tolerance and dictates the need for randomized studies to further study the pathogenetic mechanisms of increasing food tolerance under the influence of cytoprotective therapy.
