Aim. To analyze the link between levels of adipocytokines (leptine), non-specific cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α) and arterial hypertension. Methods. 123 subjects, including 100 patients with metabolic syndrome (according to 2005 Criteria of International Diabetes Federation) and 23 healthy subjects, were examined. General examination was performed, body weight, height and waist circumference were measured, body mass index was calculated. Following laboratory test were performed: serum leptin, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, main classes of immunoglobulin, C-reactive protein levels were measured. Results. In patients with metabolic syndrome, increased body weight was associated with increased risk of arterial hypertension. A 10-fold increase of serum leptin level (44.69±8.96 ng/ml) compared to healthy controls (4.72±1.33 ng/ml, p 0.01), was revealed. Leptin level elevation was strongly associated with increased body mass index (r=0.77; p 0.001). Tumor necrosis factor-α concentration in patients with metabolic syndrome exceeded 2 pg/ml, while in healthy controls it didn’t reach this level. Interleukin-6 level was elevated in patients with metabolic syndrome (7.32 [3.25; 7.17] pg/ml) compared to controls (1.53 [1.19; 2.49] pg/ml, Fisher’s exact test, p 0.001). Examination of immunoglobulin levels in patients with metabolic syndrome revealed decreased serum level of immunoglobulin E (97.12±66.24 IU/ml) compared to controls (60.47±19.04 IU/ml, p=0.01). Concentration of immunoglobulin G in patients with metabolic syndrome was also higher (14.61±3.50 g/l) compared to controls (12.57±2.07 g/l, p=0.009). Increased interleukin-6 and immunoglobulin G levels were associated with presence of arterial hypertension. Conclusion. Increased interleukin-6 and immunoglobulin G might be an important factor for arterial hypertension onset and progression.

Background:Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an immune-mediated disease associated with cytokine dysbalance.Objectives:The aim of our study was to evaluate the cytokines levels in CNO and compare to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) – disease with immune-mediated mechanism.Methods:The diagnosis of CNO made with criteria, proposed by Jansson (2007, 2009), after the exclusion of other causes of bone disease [1]. We included 42 patients with NBO, 28 patients with non-systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We evaluated plasma levels of 14-3-3 protein, S100A8/S100A9-protein, interleukine-6 (IL-6), interleukine-18 (IL-18), interleukine-4 (IL-4), interleukine-17 (IL-17), interleukine-1β (IL-1 β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in 2 groups by the ELISA. Statistical analysis was carried out with Statistica 10.0 software. We utilized descriptive statistics (Me; IQR), Mann-Whitney tests.Results:We have found differences in the proinflammatory biomarkers between CNO, JIA. Patients with NBO had lower levels of studied cytokines, exclude14-3-3-protein, S100A8/S100A9 and interleukin-6 compare to JIA patients (table 1).Table 1.Comparison the cytokine levels between CNO, JIA NParameterNBO (n=42)JIA (n=28)pHemoglobin, g/l112 (104; 124)120 (114.5; 126.0)0.02WBC x 109/l7.9 (7.0; 10.5)8.0 (6.7; 10.0)0.86PLT x 109/l347 (259; 408)336.5 (274.0; 390.5)0.98ESR. mm/h25.0 (9.0; 46.0)8.5 (2.5; 13.0)0.013CRP, mg/l6.1 (0.6; 2.4)1.8 (0.4; 11.9)0.02714-3-3, ng/ml21.4 (18.5; 27.1)19.9 (18.0; 27.8)0.77S100A8/S100A9, ng/ml5.9 (5.2; 6.5)5.9 (5.0; 6.2)0.76IL-6, ng/ml126,2 (112.8; 137.5)132.4 (117.4; 142.9)0.16IL-18, ng/ml270.1 (200.1; 316.1)388.3 (373.9; 405.1)0.0000001IL-4, ng/ml15.3 (11.5; 18.2)18.7 (16.2; 20.2)0.003IL-17, ng/ml83.1 (71.1; 97.3)99.2 (87.3; 115.8)0.003IL-1b, ng/ml47.4 (42.0; 51.3)70.8 (65.3; 73.6)0.0000001TNFa, ng/ml19.4 (17.8; 21.3)23.1 (20.2; 25.9)0.0006Conclusion:Patients with CNO had less proinflammatory activity then JIA patients, besides IL-6 and S100A8/S100A9. Further investigations required for finding new more precise biomarkers and finding possible molecular targets for treatment.This work supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant № 18-515-57001)References:[1]Jansson AF, et al.

Objective. To study the cytokines and antimicrobial peptides concentrations in patients with cholelitiasis during 1 year treatment before and after the surgery. Materials and methods. 38 patients with a cholelithiasis were examined and operated in the Educational-Surgical Clinic of the Azerbaijan Medical University. According to the treatment regimen after the operation the patients were divided into two groups: patients of the 1st group (n = 17) received standard treatment; patients of 2nd group (n = 21), in addition to standard treatment hepatoprotectors, combined enzyme preparations, pre- and probiotics were prescribed. The control group consisted of 14 apparently healthy individuals. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α) in the blood and antimicrobial peptides (zonulin, calprotectin, and lactoferrin) in feces we studied with enzyme immunoassay method. Results. In patients with cholelithiasis of the 1st group, the concentration of interleukin-6 was significantly increased by 5 times (p <0.001), the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α - by 3.5 times (p <0.001), of zonulin - by 2.2 times (p = 0.012), of calprotectin - by 5.8 times (p <0.001, the concentration of lactoferrin - by 60 times (p <0.001), and in the 2nd group - by 4.8 times (p <0.001), by 3.1 times (p <0.001), on 91.7% (p = 0.011), by 5.8 times (p <0.001) and by 52.8 times (p <0.001) respectively in comparison with the control. Conclusions. Standard postoperative treatment supplemented by hepatoprotectors, combined enzyme preparations, pre- and probiotics prescription leads to a positive dynamics of inflammatory mediators concentration and its normalization.
