EFFICACY OF BACTERIOPHAGES AGAINST PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA BIOFILMS B.I. Aslanov, L.P. Zueva, A.A. Dolgiy, S.D. Konev, T.A. Grishko North-Western State Medical University named after I. I. Mechnikov, Russia, 191015, Saint-Petersburg, Kirochnaya Street, 41 Abstract Introduction. It has been proved that many hospital strains, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, actively use the ability to biofilm formation. The urgency of the problem of antibiotic resistance of hospital acquired P. aeruginosa infection generates the need for alternative antimicrobial agents. Bacteriophages could serve as aneffective antimicrobial. The use of phages to prevent the biofilm formation on invasive devices, in particular on vascular and urinary catheters, is of the great importance. Aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of virulent bacteriophages for the prevention and destruction of biofilms formation by P. aeruginosa hospital strains. Materials and methods. In were used 14 strains of P. aeruginosa with a high ability of biofilm formation, obtained from different hospitals. The efficacy of five virulent P. aeruginosa bacteriophages from the collection of the laboratory of molecular epidemiology and bacteriophage research was studied. The preventive and destructive activity of bacteriophages on P. aeruginosa biofilms was assessed by evaluation of biofilm optical density. Results. In most cases of preventive (8 of 14 strains (57.1%)) and destructive (9 of 14 strains (64.3%)) application of bacteriophages on P. aeruginosa biofilms(both single and multiple exposition) the optical density sharply decreased at the beginning and continued to remain at a low level for the entire duration of the experiments for 12 hours. Conclusion. Both single and multiple exposure of the bacteriophage to P. aeruginosa effectively prevents the biofilmformation. The application of the phages on the already formed biofilms effectively promotes their destruction. The study has shown that bacteriophages may be effective in the prevention and destruction of microbial biofilms.

Abstract Introduction.The increased number of cancer patients of various localization remains a worldwide tendency. The incidence of polyneoplasia is proportionally increasing. Aim of the study was to improve the diagnosis and treatment results of patients with multiple primary cancer of the lung and esophagus. Materials and methods. During 2004-2014, it was observed 17 patients with a preliminary diagnosis of multiple primary cancer of the esophagus and lung. The male to female ratio was 15/2. The average age is 59 ± 6 years. After evaluating the functional operability of the patients, surgical treatment was performed. During simultaneous operations for esophageal and lung cancer, standard esophageal resection (17) with 2F lymph node dissection (abdominal and bilateral mediastinal) and lung resection (lobectomy - 12, pneumonectomy - 3, and wedge resection - 2) were performed. Results. According to the drugs histological study after surgery, multiple primary cancer of the esophagus and lung was confirmed in 12 patients, in 5 cases esophageal cancer with a single metastasis to the lung was detected. In the postoperative period, complications were noted in 6 cases (27%), in one case a lethal outcome was found. Patients with stage 4 esophageal cancer with lung metastasis (n = 5) lived for less than one year. Patients with multiple primary cancer of the esophagus and lung (n = 12) had a more favorable prognosis: 10 people lived for more than one year, 5 people lived over three years, and 5-year survival was stated in 3 patients. Conclusions. Differential diagnosis of multiple primary cancer of the esophagus and lung and metastatic lesions is possible only after histological verification (in a significant part of patients (47%) only intraoperatively). In case of synchronous cancer of the esophagus and lung, it is justified to perform simultaneous operations, providing that the staging is correct and the functional operability is assessed correctly. For synchronous cancer of the esophagus and left lung, a two-stage operation is more preferable. Keywords: multiple primary cancer, synchronous cancer of the esophagus and lung, assessment of functional operability, simultaneous surgery.

Abstract
The article provides an overview of foreign literature on the intestinal microbiota in coronavirus infection. Due to the fact that in patients with coronavirus infection, from 20% to 50% of cases are affected by the intestines - nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in stool samples, it is interesting to consider the relationship between the virus and the intestinal microbiota, the pathogenesis of this virus. A number of researchers have found significant changes in the fecal mycobiome in patients with coronavirus infection compared to the control group, an increase in its diversity.Others, on the contrary, report a decrease in microbial diversity with coronavirus infection. Clarification is required of the influence of the gut microbiome on the pathogenesis of coronavirus infection and the clinical course of the disease. Keywords: coronavirus infection, microbiome, intestinal microbiota, SARS-CoV-2.

The aim of this study was to determine the reference intervals for the expression of P-selectin on the platelet surface by flow cytometry among the healthy adult population of Saint-Petersburg. Materials and methods.To achieve these goals, a reference group was determined including an equal number of men and women of different age groups from 18 to 65 years. A monoclonal antibody to alinearly associated megakaryocyte-platelet marker (CD61), fluorescently-labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was selected for platelet identification in functional activity of platelets analysis by flow cytometry. As a platelet activation marker before and after induction, the expression of P-selectin on the platelet surface was measured using a monoclonal antibody CD62P fluorescently labeled with phycoerythrin (PE). ADP solutionwasselectedas the platelet activating inducer in a final concentration of 20 μmol/l. Results.According to study results, it was found that healthy women have a higher content of the relative number of platelets positive for CD62P (P-selectin) without activation, in comparison with the same indicator for healthy men – 0,70% [0,63; 1,42] and 0,23% [0,10; 0,54], respectively, p = 0,01; in the presence of an inducer of platelet activation, these differences were not revealed. In this regard, the establishedreference intervals for the expression of P-selectin on the surface of platelets outside of activation took into account the gender of the examined persons. Also, for the expression of P-selectin on the surface of stimulated platelets, the coefficient of intraindividual biological variation (CVi) was determined, which was 25% and the coefficient of interindividual biological variation (CVg), equal to 47%. Conclusion. The standardization of the analysis of functional platelet activity using flow cytometry resulted in the creation of a stable, relatively simple and convenient laboratory test for assessing the expression of P-selectin with acceptable variability within the assay. In addition, this is the first study to determine the reference intervals in a relatively large cohort of the healthy population of Saint-Petersburg depending on gender. Key words:flow cytometry, P-selectin, platelets, reference intervals.
PLATELET VESICULES – A POTENTIAL MARKER OF PLATELET CONCENTRATE QUALITY V.V. Kishenko 1, O.V. Sirotkina 1,2,3, S.V. Sidorkevich 1, T.V. Vavilova 1 1Almazov National Medical Research Centre, 197341, Russia, Saint-Petersburg, Akkuratova street, 2 2Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute named by B.P. Konstantinov of National Research Centre «Kurchatov Institute», Russia, 188350, Saint- Petersburg, Gatchina, Orlova Rostcha,1 3Pavlov First Saint-Petersburg State Medical University, Russia, 197101, Saint-Petersburg, Leo Tolstoy street, 6/8 Abstract Introduction. Platelet concentrate has a wide clinical use, primarily in hemorrhagic syndrome in patients with thrombocytopenia or thrombocytopathy. Laboratory quality control of platelet concentrate involves assessing the number of platelets, leukocytes and pH value, but these parameters do not characterize the functional state of platelets in platelet concentrate. Processes of platelet activation and vesiculation negatively affect the functional state of platelets and could accelerate the processes of cell apoptosis in platelet concentrate. The aimof this study was to determine the number of platelet vesicles by flow cytometry as a possible marker for assessing the quality of platelet concentrate during storage. Materials and methods. The study used platelet concentrate obtained by the method of automatic thrombopheresis. Sampling of 1.6 ml was carried out from the container under sterile conditions on the 2nd and 7th days of storage. The platelet concentrate fractions after differential centrifugation were analyzed on a Cytoflex flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) using anti-CD41-FITC and anti-CD62P-PE. The processes of platelet activation and vesiculation during storage of platelet concentrate were visualized using low voltage scanning electron microscopy. Results. On the 7th day of storage, the relative content of platelets in platelet concentrate, carrying P-selectin on their surface, increased 3-10 times indicating cell activation. The number of platelet membrane vesicles and exosomes increased on the 7th day of platelet concentrate storage compared to the 2nd day of storage: 11.78 [9.78-67.93] events/μl versus 3.21 [2.88-5.44] events/μl and 4.35 [3.18-5.87] events/μl versus 0.68 [0.32-1.46] events/μl, respectively (p<0.0078). At the same time, using electron microscopy, the activation of platelets and the separation of vesicles from the terminal part of the pseudopodia were proved on the 7th day of platelet concentrate storage. Conclusion. The most promising method for assessing the quality of platelet concentrate according to the results of the presented study is the determination of the number of platelet vesicles using flow cytometry. Key words: platelets, platelet concentrate, vesicles, flow cytometry.
