title: [The Development of Clinical and Morphological Manifestations of Chronic Alcoholic Myopathy in Men with Prolonged Alcohol Intoxication].
abstract: Chronic alcoholic myopathy occurs in 40-60% of patients who abuse alcohol, and is accompanied by decreased performance, proximal paresis and atrophy of skeletal muscles. However, it is unknown what is important in the development of the disease: duration of alcohol abuse, or the dose of ethanol consumed. Unknown dynamics of the pathological process in skeletal muscle. We examined male patients identified with alcoholic myopathy and without it, evaluated the duration of alcohol abuse, intake of ethanol, morphological characteristics m.quadriceps vastus lateralis and the content of IGF-1 in plasma. It has been shown that chronic alcoholic myopathy develops after 10 years of alcohol abuse; proximal paresis is observed only in patients with atrophy of muscle fibers, thus there is a transformation of myosin phenotype from slow to fast. The decrease IGF-1 in plasma detected at the early stages of the Church, including in patients without clinical manifestations of proximal paresis and morphological signs of atrophy of muscle fibers.
