Background. The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection is understudied; despite its worldwide prevalence, case reports of organ transplant recipients are rare.Aim. A dynamics evaluation and treatment outcome improvement in a transplanted cadaveric kidney patient with 100% parenchymal lung damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus bilateral pneumonia.Materials and methods. We describe a successful treatment case of a transplant kidney patient having the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) (of 03.12.2020). COVID-19 pneumonia was diagnosed on day 7 of the early post-transplant period. On day 14, the patient was admitted to an infectious ward and transferred to intensive care upon disease aggravation. Despite ongoing treatment, pulmonary parenchymal lesion reached 100% in CT scan on 24.12.2020. The patient was transferred to Surgery Unit No. 3 for further therapy on 11.01.2021 upon revealing a clinical improvement, positive laboratory dynamics and SARS-CoV-2-negative smear PCR tests. The patient was discharged for outpatient treatment on day 10.Results and discussion. No evidence of focal infiltrative pulmonary change was detected in control chest CT after 4 months. Within 5 months since discharge, there were observed a general well-being improvement, 98% oxygen saturation, absent oedema, satisfactory transplanted kidney function.Conclusion. Post-kidney-transplant patients are particularly susceptible to infection due to inherent chronic immunosuppression. The presented case of a kidney transplant patient having a favourable COVID-19 outcome demonstrates the efficacy of a timely treatment.

Aim To study the effect of prophylactic immunization with combined Staphylococcus-Proteus-Pseudomonas vaccine in combination with the probiotic Bacillus subtilis on the development of recurrent nephrolithiasis in patients after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Materials and methods A total of 76 patients with a high infectious risk of stone formation in the early postoperative period after PCNL were included in the study. All patients received antibiotic therapy in accordance with the current guidelines as indicated. The patients were divided into 3 groups. In the comparison group (n=30), patients continued to receive antibiotics on the outpatient basis. In the group A (n=20), in addition to antibiotics, two-stage immunization with Staphylococcus-Proteus-Pseudomonas vaccine was performed. In the group B (n=26), additionally, patients received probiotic preparation Bactisporin dry, which is a lyophilized spore-forming bacteria Bacillus subtilis strain 3N. All participants had urine culture and stone analysis using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A study of specific antibodies level and factors of cellular and humoral immunity was carried out at specific time points. The duration of follow-up was 36 months. Results The study revealed a difference in the pathogens isolated from urine and infection stones in the same patient. This convincingly suggests that pathogens form biofilms in the stones and are not detected during routine urine culture. The main pathogens isolated from the stones were Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumonia. Microbial associations were found in 25.7% of cases. The Staphylococcus-Proteus-Pseudomonas vaccine demonstrated good immunogenicity, its antigenic components provided protective properties against autologous and opportunistic bacteria. In addition to the ability to induce a specific response to antigens, the vaccine stimulated the phagocytic activity of neutrophils. Immunization with the combined Staphylococcus-Proteus-Pseudomonas vaccine in combination with probiotic results in uncomplicated postoperative course in 84% of patients. Hospital-acquired infectious and inflammatory complications were seen in 16.2% of cases. The recurrence of stone formation in this group of patients within 36 months was 8.2%. In patients receiving only combined Staphylococcus-Proteus-Pseudomonas vaccine after PCNL, the postoperative period was uneventful in 65% of cases. The rate of upper urinary tract infection was 35%, while the inflammatory process was accompanied by mild clinical manifestations and quickly resolved. Recurrence of stone formation during the follow-up was seen in 18% of patients. In the control group, the proportion of uncomplicated cases in patients with nephrostomy tube was 40%, the development of pyelonephritis was noted in 60% of cases, and recurrent stones within 36 months were diagnosed in 46.7% of cases. Conclusion Our results emphasize that the role of an infectious factor in the development of recurrent nephrolithiasis after PCNL is often underestimated. The use of a specific vaccination and the Bacillus subtilis preparation in patients with a high infectious risk of recurrent stone formation allows to achieve a significant reduction in the recurrence rate (more than 5 times) compared to the control group during 36 months of postoperative follow-up.

Introduction. Liver transplantation is currently considered to be the only method of radical treatment for adults and children with incurable liver diseases. The most important aspects of liver transplantation are the correct selection of an appropriate recipient and compilation and maintenance of a liver transplant waiting list. This article aims to analyze the structure of the severe chronic liver disease patient population included in the liver transplant waiting list at the G. G. Kuvatov Republican Clinical Hospital (the City of Ufa).Materials and methods. We analyzed the waiting list drawn and maintained over the 2007-2018 period based on the examination of 789 patients with liver cirrhosis of various etiologies.Results and discussion. Out of all the patients with liver cirrhosis of different etiologies (Child-Pugh score classes A, B, and C) 149 (18.8 %) were included in the waiting list. The ages of patients included in the liver transplant waiting list ranged from 19 to 69. The mortality rate amounted to 38.9 % (58 people); of these patients 31 (53.4 %) had hepatic cirrhosis (HC) of autoimmune etiology, 18 (31.0 %) — HC of viral etiology, and 6 (10.3 %) — alveococcosis of the liver. The rate of the waiting list expansion for patients aged 20-29 compared to those aged 0-19 amounted to 1.32 %. Such a dynamics for the 30-39 age group compared to the 20-29 age group was 11.51 %. The number of people aged 40-49 compared to the preceding age group remained the same.Conclusion. Our analysis of the waiting list sets the percentage of patients with autoimmune HC in the population of patients with this disease at 59 %. These patients are characterized by a rapid progression of liver failure and high mortality. The statistical analysis of liver transplant waiting lists facilitate the optimization of procedures used to select and manage such patients, as well as to prevent, in a timely manner, the development of complications thus improving the prognosis of survival.

Introduction. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men with chronic kidney disease stage V is from 60 to 80%. At the same time, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients after kidney transplantation remains high at up to 60%. One of the possible causes of erectile dysfunction after kidney transplantation is considered a decrease in arterial inflow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.Objectives. Тo evaluate the results of treatment of ED in patients after KT, depending on the vascular anastomosis.Materials and methods. 84 patients with a functioning kidney after transplantation were examined. All patients were divided into 3 groups: Group I – 38 patients undergoing KT with arterial vascular anastomosis with an internal iliac artery; Group II – 46 patients undergoing kidney transplantation with arterial vascular anastomosis to external iliac artery; Group III – 35 healthy volunteers (control group) with no history of urological diseases or surgical interventions on the pelvic organs. International Index of Erectile Function Index (IIEF-5) was used to assess erectile function. An ultrasound study with dopplerography of the penile arteries was performed before and after intracavernous pharmacological stress. For treating patients with erectile dysfunction after kidney transplantation were used PDE-5 inhibitors (Tadalafil® 5 mg daily for 3 months, then at a dose of 20 mg “on demand”), a special set of exercises for the muscles of the pelvic floor, vacuum therapy and physiotherapy with the device “Androgyne”.Results. Significant erectile function disorders were detected in 26 (68.4%) patients of group I, and in 31 (73.9%) patients of group II, according to data from the IIEF-5 questionnaire. Group I 27 (71.1%) patients were satisfied with sex life, group II – 39 (84.8%) by the end of the year. According to the Doppler ultrasound, after 12 months in patients of group I, the maximum systolic velocity of blood flow in the right and left cavernous artery of the penis was 25.0 ± 3.44 cm / s and 33.0 ± 3.56 cm / s, respectively. The difference in arterial inflow of 8 cm / s indicates a pronounced arterial perfusion of the penis in group I patients. At the same time, in patients of group II, the maximum systolic velocity was significantly higher than in group I and amounted to 40.1 ± 2.66 cm/s and 40.0 ± 2.77 cm/s, respectively.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate a decrease in the arterial inflow to the penis along the right cavernous artery in patients from group I, who underwent an arterial vascular anastomosis with an internal iliac artery during kidney transplantation.

A patient after allotransplantation operation of cadaveric kidney against continuous three-component immunosupressive therapy developed leukopenia. To correct it the doses of medicines were decreased. The developed inflammation caused a sharp transplant rejection crisis. Thus, determination of leykopenia at the patient after allotransplantation of a cadaveric kidney requires revealing early signs of not only infectious complications, but also rejection crisis.

Presented the experience of four successful liver transplants in Bashkiria shows the possibility of full social and medical rehabilitation and save the lives of patients with terminal liver disease. Undoubtedly, these operations should be performed in specialized centers with expertise in liver surgery, vascular surgery, renal transplantation and management of patients after organ transplantation. According to the complexity, technical complexity, and trauma surgery for liver transplantation is justly considered the most complex surgery on abdominal organs and require special conditions. The clinics must be qualified transplant and resuscitation-anesthesia care team of doctors, modern diagnostic and surgical equipment and advanced laboratory services.

According to the data obtained by Russian and foreign investigators, the major complication after radical prostatectomy (RPE) is urinaryincontinence that is recorded in 20-30% of cases. Objective . To improve the results of surgical treatment in patients with prostate cancer, by developing and introducing a well-rounded post-operative rehabilitation program. Subjects and methods . Seventy-four patients who were treated at the urology clinic, Bashkir State Medical University, and underwent RPEin 2005 to 2007 have been examined; 27 of them were diagnosed as having urinary incontinence (UI). After discharge from the clinic, acontrol group received rehabilitative treatment at the sanatorium “Krasnousolsk” of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Results and discussion. Therapeutic exercises and pelvic floor electrostimulation halve the number of day urinations and paddings used inpatients with UI, by increasing the bladder capacity from 138.2±12.7 to 196±11.2 ml and improving the trophism of the bladder neck andurethra in the sphincteral area.

Bladder cancer (BC) remains a current problem in oncourology. Despite that bladder cancer risk factors have been studied and described in the literature, new molecular and genetic mechanisms have been identified that predisposes to the disease development. There are numerous cellular processes involve in BC pathogenesis. The less-aggressive, non-invasive slow progressing bladder cancer types are defined by Ras-MAPK system activation. Tumors that are more aggressive and have low cancer-specific survival rate are characterized by changes in retinoblastoma genes and p53. Attempts are made to develop prognostic tests to predict tumor behavior, targeted treatment. perspectively, BC patients will be treated using molecular genetic markers allowing the accurate prediction of the patient’s tumor behavior and fitting the treatment tactics on the individual basis.

Objective: to assess the results of surgical treatment of patients with the intestinal urinary bladder, to characterize its early and late postoperative complications, and to develop their correction tactics. Subjects and methods. The results of treatment in 198 patients who had undergone ileocystoplasty were analyzed. Results. The developed diagnostic approach and the determined examination periods could reduce the number of late postoperative complications of ileocystoplasty: acute and chronic pyelonephritis from 19.4 to 7.6%, urolithiasis from 17.2 to 1.9%, bladder dysfunction from 25.8 to 7.6%, and metabolic acidosis from 4.3 to 1.9%, and prevent the development of ureterovesical anastomosis stricture. Conclusion. Radical cystectomy with the ileoplasty using an isolated segment of the ileum in patients with invasive urinary bladder carcinoma has been the operation of choice no longer; it has become an essential surgical adjunct. This method permits overall 5-year survival to be achieved in 69.7% of patients.

The article presents treatment results of 208 bladder cancer patients (104 patients with bladder carcinoma in situ and 104 with invasive bladder cancer) being treated in the Clinic of BSMU, Republican Clinical Oncological Center and Republican Clinical Hospital of Ufa (Republic of Bashkortostan) during 2006-2012. The control group included 216 healthy people. We have carried out a molecular genetic analysis of polymorphic genes loci of aryl hydrocarbon receptor: AHR, AHRR, ARNT, Cytochrome gene P450: CYP1А1 (A2455G), СYP1A2 (T-2464delT), Glutathione S-transferase: GSTM1 (del), GSTP1 (A313G); DNA reparation: XRCC1 (G28152A) in patients with bladder CIS recurrence within a year, and in bladder CIS patients having no recurrence within a year. Genotypes associated with bladder CIS recurrence within a year were identified. Furthermore, analysis of these genes polymorphous loci in patients with invasive bladder carcinoma with and without lymphogenic metastases was carried out. Genotypes associated with lyphogenic metastasis risk were identified.

Urinary incontinence is the most common urological complications after radical prostatectomy. Underactive changes in pelvic floor muscles should be taken into account in the assessment of state of patients with urination disorders, as well as in the choice of post-operative tactics. A perspective method of rehabilitation of patients with urinary incontinence is the use of exercises for the pelvic floor muscles. This method of rehabilitation allows achieving good results in the retention of urine.
