To date, pelvic endometriosis is one of the most widespread gynecological disorders in the women of reproductive age. It has been known that pelvic endometriosis is a progressive disease occuring on the background of chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory response in the lesser pelvis. One of the key element of the pathogenesis of endometriosis is a disfunction of the immune system at both the local and systemic levels. In recent years an upward trend in the number of infiltrative forms has been noted. In relation to the pronounced adhesive process as well as presence of the endometrioid infiltration the risk of complications during surgery increases. Furthermore, aforementioned conditions can lead to subsequent longer period of rehabilitation and additional surgical interventions. Thereby, the markers for non-invasive diagnosis acquire the leading role in the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis, analysis of the levels of which may yield a relatively complete picture of the extent of the lesions and adress the issue of the need for surgical treatment (especially repeated) timely. The most pertinent is the assessment of the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, the activity of natural killer cells as well as the factors of adhesion and proliferation. The article discusses the diagnostic value of interleukins IL6, IL2, IL33, IL22, transforming growth factor (TGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), chemokine MCP1 as well as others for the non-invasive diagnosis of the disease. On the basis of the data presented it may be concluded that the comprehensive assessment of the several cytokines is required for more accurate and timely diagnosis and determining the severity of pelvic endometriosis.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with psoriasis and included in seronegative spondyloarthropathy. PsA has several unique characteristics different from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), such as enthesopathy, dactylitis, and abnormal bone remodeling. As compared with synovitis of RA (pannus), proliferation of PsA synovium is mild and characterized by hypervascularity and increased infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the synovial tissues. Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in cutaneous psoriasis, and several angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-8, angiopoietin, tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-β, are suggested to play an important role also in the pathophysiology of PsA. Further, IL-17 has various functions such as upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, attraction of neutrophils, stimulation of keratinocytes, endothelial cell migration, and osteoclast formation via RANKL from activated synovial fibroblasts. Thus, IL-17 may be important in angiogenesis, fibrogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis in PsA. In this paper, roles of angiogenesis in the psoriatic synovium are discussed, which may strengthen the understanding of the pathogenesis of PsA.

Endothelial Growth Factor

In severe asthma, cytokines and growth factors contribute to the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and blood vessels, and to the increased extracellular matrix deposition that constitutes the process of airway remodeling. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which regulates vascular permeability and angiogenesis, also modulates the function of nonendothelial cell types. In this study, we demonstrate that VEGF induces fibronectin secretion by human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. In addition, stimulation of ASM with VEGF activates ERK, but not p38MAPK, and fibronectin secretion is ERK dependent. Both ERK activation and fibronectin secretion appear to be mediated through the VEGF receptor flt-1, as evidenced by the effects of the flt-1-specific ligand placenta growth factor. Finally, we demonstrate that ASM cells constitutively secrete VEGF, which is increased in response to PDGF, transforming growth factor-β, IL-1β, and PGE2. We conclude that ASM-derived VEGF, through modulation of the extracellular matrix, may play an important role in airway remodeling seen in asthma.

Abstract: Recently, platelet rich plasma has been popular and its use has begin on human in developed countries. Platelet rich plasma is defined as autologus blood with concentration of platelets three to five times above baseline level, which contains at least seven growth factors like Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Platelet Derived Angiogenesis Factor (PDAF), Platelet Derived Endothelial Growth Factor (PDEGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF- β), Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The golden standard for reconstruction of cranial bone defects demonstrates osteoconduction scaffold, osteoinduction like growth factors, and osteogenesis. Alloplastic biomaterials have revolutionalized craniofacial reconstruction. Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) has been studied for years as implant material due to its similarity with the mineral component of bone. In this study we investigated and compare the effects of PRP and CHA on bone regeneration in rat cranial defects. This was an experimental study with a true experimental design on white male rats (Rattus norvegicus). Cranial deffects of 3 mm diameter were created in rat cranium and grafted with CHA and PRP combination, CHA alone, and control. The relationships among them were analyzed by using Mann Whitney and SPSS Statistics Program Package Version 22.0. The results showed that the experimental group of 2 weeks had no different between inflammatory reaction (P = 0.119), woven bone (P = 0.094) and lamellar bone (P = 0.130). At 4 weeks,a combination of PRP and CHA showed a superior growth of lamellar bone compared to CHA (P = 0.009). Conclusion: A combination of PRP and CHA in bone regeneration showed a histological tendency toward increased bone formation. However, future investigations should be conducted in different period times.Keywords: platelet rich plasma, carbonated hydroxyapatite, cranial defectAbstrak: Plasma kaya trombosit makin banyak digunakan dalam dunia kedokteran. Di negara maju pengunaannya sudah mulai diteliti pada manusia. Plasma kaya trombosit adalah fraksi plasma darah dengan konsentrasi platelet 3-5 kali diatas nilai normal yang mengandung sekurang-kurangnya 7 faktor pertumbuhan, diantaranya Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Platelet Derived Angiogenesis Factor (PDAF), Platelet Derived Endothelial Growth Factor (PDEGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF- β), Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), dan Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) yang dapat meningkatkan proses osteogenesis. Karbonat hidroksiapatit adalah material pengganti tulang yang dapat mempercepat regenerasi jaringan tulang serta memiliki kandungan kalsium,fosfat dan karbonat yang mirip dengan tulang manusia. Tulang yang tumbuh pada awal berupa tulang muda yang memiliki serat kolagen yang tidak teratur dan banyak osteosit disebut tulang imatur. Tulang imatur kemudian akan diganti oleh tulang matur yang memiliki serabut kolagen yang teratur. Jenis penelitian ini ialah eksperimental pada 36 hewan coba tikus putih wistar (Rattus norvegicus). Defek kalvaria pada tikus dengan diameter 3 mm diisi sesuai perlakuan: plasma kaya trombosit dengan karbonat hidroksiapatit, karbonat apatit tunggal, dan kontrol. Plasma kaya trombosit dibuat dari autologus darah tikus yang diberi perlakuan plasma kaya trombosit serta karbonat hidroksiapatit dan karbonat apatit tunggal. Data dianalisis dengan uji Mann Whitney dan diolah dengan SPSS. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan pada minggu ke-2, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna reaksi inflamasi (P = 0,119), tulang imatur (P = 0,094), dan tulang matur (P = 0,130) diantara ketiga perlakuan. Pada minggu ke-4, tulang matur yang terbentuk lebih banyak pada perlakuan plasma kaya trombosit dan karbonat hidroksiapatit (P = 0,009). Simpulan: Pemberian plasma kaya trombosit dan karbonat hidroksiapatit dapat meningkatkan proses penutupan defek tulang kepala hewan percobaan tikus.Kata kunci : plasma kaya trombosit, karbonat hidroksiapatit, defek tulang kepala.
