Creating and using a chatbot to match patients with an antibiotic before surgery

Ministry of Health Russia On July 8, 2024, Sechenov University announced the creation and start of using a chatbot to select antibiotics for patients before surgery. The innovative - Telegram bot, developed by a team of young scientists in the Digital Department, aims to help surgeons and clinical pharmacologists make informed decisions about the need to prescribe antibiotics during the preoperative period.

According to CNews, the new digital assistant is able to choose the optimal drug taking into account a number of factors, including the patient's condition, his weight, the type and duration of the planned operation, the risk of developing infectious complications and allergic reactions. Oleg Bukhtin, the author of the project and a therapist studying at the Digital Department of Sechenov University, noted that the developed chatbot contributes to a rational approach to the use of antibiotics in surgical interventions.

The bot functionality is based on the perioperative prophylaxis protocol and includes an algorithm that automatically calculates scores based on the doctor's answers to a number of questions about the patient. These questions relate to the current administration of antibiotics, the presence of severe concomitant pathologies, the estimated duration and area of ​ ​ surgery, as well as the history of allergic reactions to antibacterial drugs.

The developers emphasize that the use of a chatbot will not only help specialists quickly determine the tactics of treating patients before surgery, but also prevent unreasonable prescription of antibiotics. This, in turn, contributes to the fight against the development of antibiotic resistance, a problem that at the global level accelerates the emergence and spread of superbugs resistant to existing infection treatments.^[1]

Application of new optical spectroscopy technology for the diagnosis of early stage osteoarthritis

Researchers from Sechenov University and engineers of the Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman have developed a highly sensitive method for diagnosing osteoarthritis (deforming arthrosis or simply arthrosis) in the early stages. Its technology was created in early September 2023.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease in which articular cartilage is destroyed. This leads to chronic pain and inflammatory processes in the joint. Diagnosis of osteoarthritis in the early stages can be carried out by assessing the content of the leading components of the extracellular matrix of cartilage tissue - water and collagen, but there are no objective methods of such assessment to date.

Researchers develop highly sensitive method to diagnose ostearthritis

Optical infrared spectroscopy techniques are best suited for this task. However, most scientific studies to solve the problem have been carried out in the near infrared, although a more accurate estimate can be obtained in an area with a wavelength range of 2100-2350 nm, or in the so-called fourth transparency window.

A group of scientists led by Ph.D. Vladimir Lazarev from the Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman has developed a unique solid-state tunable laser source operating in the required values ​ ​ of the middle infrared range. Specialists from the Laboratory of Clinical Biophotonics at Sechenov University tested the device on cartilage tissue samples and objects that mimic its properties. As it turned out, this approach really makes it possible to successfully assess the content of water and collagen components in cartilage tissue with high accuracy.

Studies of the optical properties of biological tissues in the middle infrared have demonstrated significant potential for diagnostic tasks. Our results indicate the possibility of using this spectral range to develop diagnostic methods, in particular to observe changes in the content of cartilage tissue components in degenerative diseases, including osteoarthritis, "said Gleb Budylin, head of the clinical biophotonics laboratory at Sechenov University.[4]

Sharp rise in tuition costs

Sechenov University sharply raised the cost of medical training. Now it reaches 700 thousand rubles a year. This became known on August 9, 2023.

According to the publication "Medical Bulletin" with reference to price lists, the cost of the first year of training in the specialty "Medical Case" in the First Moscow State Medical University named after Sechenov increased from 415 thousand to 650 thousand rubles, in the specialties "Dentistry" and "Pediatrics" - from 450 thousand to 700 thousand rubles and from 343 thousand to 400 thousand rubles, respectively. Fees for the second and subsequent courses also increased.

As a result of the price increase, the total cost of all six years of training in the specialty "Medical Affairs" (six courses) rose from 2.82 million to 4.48 million rubles, in the specialty "Pediatrics" - from 2.34 million to 2.76 million rubles, in Dentistry - from 2.49 million to 3.91 million rubles.

As the founder of the Telegram channel on higher education "Science and Universities" Professor Evgeny Beliy noted, in most universities there is no tangible increase in cost, since the Ministry of Education and Science usually sends recommendations to rectors not to raise prices above the inflation rate. Most universities are law-abiding and, as a rule, do not raise prices by more than 5-7%. The exception is new programs in large educational institutions, the expert noted in a conversation with the portal.

According to him, the increase in the cost of studying at medical universities further stimulates the growing popularity of medical education in recent years, besides, there is a great demand for medical education from foreign students. At the same time, Evgeny Beliy does not exclude that, cutting off a less solvent contingent, the administration is trying to reduce the burden on the faculty and infrastructure.

There will be fewer students, more money. Fewer students - fewer problems with clinical bases, with teachers, hostels and so on. And the income from extrabudgetary activities may increase. Perhaps this approach is not very client-oriented, but it is convenient for a university, "he explained.[5]

Development of 3D bioprinting technology for human tissue from living cells

In early June 2023, it became known about the creation in Russia of a technology for three-dimensional bioprinting of human tissue from living cells, this achievement allows printing organs and tissues for a specific person. We are talking about the development of scientists from the First Moscow State Medical University (MGMU) named after Sechenov and the Semenov Center for Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The authors of the work carried out a full cycle of 3D bioprinting and received a tissue bioequivalent - an artificial analogue of living human tissue. Experts took two types of human stem mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs): from adipose tissue and gum mucosa. Spheroids (aggregates of cells in the form of balls) were formed from them, which are used in a 3D printer as building blocks. In parallel, scientists have specially prepared a bio-ink for a 3D printer.

In Russia, created the technology of three-dimensional bioprinting of human tissue from living cells, this achievement allows you to print organs and tissues for a specific person

In order for cells to interact with each other - adapt to three-dimensional conditions, divide, migrate - a microenvironment is needed. Therefore, the scientists created a specific hydrogel from gelatin, fibrinogen and several modifiers, which provided a favorable environment for the functioning of cells. The obtained hydrogel has high biocompatibility. To create bio-blends, it was mixed with spheroids, then with the help of a bioprinter a construct was printed - a tissue equivalent.

Next, the team compared two groups of constructs -- printed and mixed by hand: The scientists observed how cell behavior differed. The comparison went on such parameters as metabolic activity, viability, proliferative activity (how actively they divide), as well as in which direction they differentiate - that is, they turn from a stem cell into a skin, bone or cartilage cell. Also, experts tracked the dynamics of cell growth and their morphology - structure and shape.

In the course of work, it turned out that constructs printed with a bioprinter have a number of advantages, since they have shown great functionality. According to the authors of the article, 3D bioprinting provided MSC spheroids with the most optimal conditions for metabolic activity, germination and cellular migration.^[6]
