Macrophages are crucial not only for initiation of inflammation and pathogen eradication (classically polarized M1 macrophages), but also for inflammation inhibition and tissue regeneration (alternatively polarized M2 macrophages). Their polarization toward the M1 population occurs under the influence of interferon-γ + lipopolysaccharide (IFN-γ + LPS), while alternatively polarized M2 macrophages evolve upon, e.g., interlukin 4 (IL-4) or cortisol stimulation. This in vitro study focused on a possible role for macrophage-derived cortisol in M1/M2 polarization in common carp. We studied the expression of molecules involved in cortisol synthesis/conversion from and to cortisone like 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 and 3. (11β-HSD2 and 3) and 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11b), as well as the expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in M1 and M2 macrophages. Lastly, we analyzed how inhibition of these molecules affect macrophage polari...
Acute and Chronic Heart Failure After Myocardial Infarction: Clinical and Functional Markers
"Medical & pharmaceutical journal "Pulse", 2021
Вackground. The last decade has seen an increase in the number of people who have had myocardial infarction (MI). This phenomenon contributes to an increase in the long-term incidence of chronic cardiovascular diseases, including chronic heart failure. Purpose of the study. To identify the most significant clinical and functional indicators characterizing acute and chronic heart failure after myocardial infarction. Patient Characterization and Research Methods. This analysis included 186 patients who had myocardial infarction from January 2019 to January 2020: 86 people, the main subgroup, with signs of CHF above FC 2 (NYHA) (mean age 64.3 g) and 100 people, the comparison subgroup, without signs of CHF or had CHF 1 FC (NYHA) (mean age 62.6 l). After 1 year, clinical outcomes were assessed: cardiovascular death, repeated hospitalizations due to decompensation of CHF, death from other causes, stroke, repeated myocardial infarction, unplanned coronary revascularization. Results. In th...

Aim. To analyze the effect of intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH) on the structural and functional echocardiographic parameters of myocardium in patients with primary ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Material and methods. The study included 60 patients with primary STEMI reperfused within 12 hours after symptom onset. On the second day after the event, all subjects underwent gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). IMH was visualized as T2-weighted hypointense areas. Subsequently, all patients underwent the standard echocardiography on the 7th day after MI.Results. IMH was revealed in 31 patients (51,6%). In 22 patients (70,9%), IMH was accompanied by microvascular obstruction (MVO). In the remaining 9 patients (29%), an isolated IMH phenomenon was visualized. Lower values of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV volume parameters were associated with a combination of MVO and IMH. At the same time, the indices of volumetric characteris...

Evidence that has been progressively gathered implicates an important role of the immune system in the course of heart failure. In the majority of heart disease patients, disturbances of humoral immunity with production of cardiodepressant antibodies may play a functional role in cardiac dysfunction. This study evaluates the role of autoantibodies to the cardiac myosin. We examined 52 patients (from 14 till 61 years) with chronic myocarditis. The main examination methods were clinical and biochemical blood tests, ECG, ambulatory Holter ECG monitoring, echocardiography. Autoantibodies to the cardiac myosin were determined by ELISA. These autoantibodies correlate with myocardial inflammation. Also they are associated with structural changes of the heart (hypertrophy, dilation) and cardiac dysfunction (contractility, rhythm and conduction). The degree of expression of these disorders is related to the severity of chronic heart failure.

The issue of antithrombotic therapy in patients with infective endocarditis has been studied for over 75 years. During that time studying of pathogenesis of the disease and its embolic complications, lead to the introduction of the concept of “immunothrombosis”. That mechanism allows infective agents (mostly bacteria) to be cloaked from the immune system and to multiply freely, leading to growth of vegetation, thus resulting in higher chance of fragmentation. Small-scale experimental and clinical studies on the correction of hemostatic disorders in infective endocarditis, that were performed in 20th century, didn’t show any significant results, that could affect clinical practice. However, reinterpretation of available data on coagulative system will allow to have elements of hemostasis as an application point in treating infective endocarditis. The article will discuss latest insights on the role of hemostasis system in pathophysisology of infective endocarditis, its effects on the...
Influence of VEGF deprivation upon vascular formation by endothelium in the presence of macrophages
Medical Immunology (Russia)
Development of angiogenesis depends on the functional state of endothelial cells, as well as on the balanced secretion of cytokines, growth factors and chemokines by endothelial cells and cells of microenvironment. Macrophages represent an essential component of the microenvironment and take part in the formation of blood vessels both due to the production of cytokines and due to contact interactions with endothelial cells. VEGF is among the most important cytokines that control angiogenesis at all its stages. Currently, the role of VEGF in the intercellular interactions of endothelial cells and macrophages is not well described. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of VEGF deprivation using monoclonal antibodies on angiogenesis under conditions of co-cultivation of endothelium and macrophages. Materials and methods: monoclonal antibodies to VEGF-A were used for VEGF deprivation in monoculture of endothelial cells and in co-culture of endothelial cells with macrophages...
