The purpose of the study was to assess the role of arterial hypertension (AH) in the development of immunization in women with Rh-negative blood to optimize perinatal outcomes. Subject and methods. A prospective comparatively study was conducted in 3 groups of pregnant women with Rh-negative blood. The 1-st group (n=148) was with hypertensive disease (HD), the 2-nd group (n=144) - with gestational arterial hypertension (GAH); the 3-rd group (n=110) - without somatic pathology. The immune-hematological studies included a definition of the partial D antigen using gel method. Results. It was definited that the pregnancy of these patients accompanied by the high frequency of early gestational toxicosis, threatened premature birth, preeclampsia, placental insufficiency as well as expressed changes immu-nological properties of blood, which are pathogenetic basis of fetal and neonatal rhesus hemolytic disease. Antibodies (AB) in the blood serum of patients with hypertension were detected in the first half of pregnancy (up to 20 weeks) in 1.2-1.4 times more often than in healthy women, high titer of AB rate in patients with HD was significantly higher compared to other groups. Disadvantageous combination of immunoglobulins subclasses Gl and G3 was found in the group of pregnant women with HD (11.4%) and GAH (10,8%), significantly less frequently (6,45%) in the control group. Conclusion. To improve maternal, fetal and neonatal gestation outcomes the authors justified the necessity of prenatal work-up and delivery of these women.

В статье рассмотрены вопросы развития фиброза и иммунного воспаления у больных артериальной гипертензией (АГ) с острым ишемическим инсультом (ИИ) в пожилом возрасте. Цель исследования - изучение возраст-ассоциированных особенностей концентрации маркеров фиброза (металлопротеиназы-9, тканевого ингибитора матриксных металлопротеиназ-1, их соотношения ММП-9/ТИМП-1), иммунного воспаления (TNF-α, IL-1β, INF-γ) у больных АГ с ИИ. В исследование были включены 86 больных АГ II степени, из которых 42 человека - среднего возраста (53±5 лет) и 44 - пожилого (66±5 лет), контрольную группу составили 22 пациента пожилого возраста с АГ без ИИ в анамнезе. Критерии включения - пациенты с АГ, поступившие в стационар в остром периоде первого церебрального инсульта. Установлено, что у пожилых больных АГ с ИИ показатели инфламэйджинга и маркеры фиброза были достоверно выше, чем у лиц среднего возраста. Уровень IL-1β был выше на 31,7 % (р<0,01), TNF-α - на 55,7 % (р<0,001), INF-γ - на 36,6 % (р<0,01), уровень ММП-9 - на 46,4 % (р<0,01), ТИМП-1 - на 21,2 % (р<0,01), ММП-9/ТИМП-1 - на 19,6 % (р<0,01) в пожилом возрасте по сравнению с больными среднего возраста с АГ и острым ИИ. Таким образом, установлено, что больные АГ с ИИ имеют нарушения процессов инфламейджинга, синтеза и деградации внеклеточного матрикса, особенно выраженные в пожилом возрасте. The article deals with the development of fibrosis and immune inflammation in patients with arterial hypertension and acute ischemic stroke in old age. The aim of the study was to study age-associated features of the concentration of fibrosis markers (metalloproteinase-9, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1, their ratio MMP-9/TIMP-1), immune inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, INF-γ) in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic stroke (AI). The study included 86 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of the 2nd degree, of which 42 were middle-aged (53±5 years) and 44 elderly (66±5 years). The control group consisted of 22 elderly patients with AH without a history of AI. The criteria for inclusion in the study are patients with hypertension who were admitted to the hospital in the acute period of the first cerebral stroke. It was found that in elderly patients with hypertension with AI, the indicators of inflamaging and fibrosis markers were significantly higher than in middle-aged people. The level of IL-1β was 31,7 % higher (p<0,01), TNF-α by 55,7 % (p<0,001), INF-γ by 36,6 % (p<0,01), the level of MMP-9 was 46,4 % higher (p<0,01), TIMP-1 by 21,2 % (p<0,01), MMP-9/TIMP-1 by 19,6 % (p<0,01) in the elderly compared to middle-aged patients with hypertension and acute AI. Thus, it was found that patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic stroke have violations of the processes of inflamaging, synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix, especially pronounced in old age.

Vascular System

The endothelium plays a pivotal role in vascular homeostasis, and endothelial dysfunction is a major feature of cardiovascular diseases, such as arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Recently, uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) has been identified as a novel and potent endothelium-derived contracting factor (EDCF). Up4A structurally contains both purine and pyrimidine moieties, which activate purinergic receptors. There is an accumulating body of evidence to show that Up4A modulates vascular function by actions on endothelial and smooth muscle cells. In this paper, we discuss the effects of Up4A on vascular function and a potential role for Up4A in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract Background: Sex hormones may be associated with a higher incidence of ischemic stroke or stroke-related events. In observational studies, lower testosterone concentrations are associated with infirmity, vascular disease, and adverse cardiovascular risk factors. Currently, female sexual hormones are considered neuroprotective agents. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of sex hormones and the ratio of estradiol/testosterone (E/T) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods: Between January 2011 and December 2016, 146 male patients with AIS and 152 age- and sex-matched control subjects were included in this study. Sex hormones, including estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, were evaluated in the AIS patient and control groups. We analyzed the clinical and physiological levels of sex hormones and hormone ratios in these patients.Results: The E/T ratio was significantly elevated among patients in the stroke group compared to those in the control group (P = 0.001). Categorization of data into tertiles revealed that patients with the highest E/T ratio were more likely to have AIS [odds ratio (OR) 3.084; 95% Confidence interval (CI): 1.616-5.886; P < 0.001) compared with those in the first tertile. The E/T ratio was also an independent unfavorable outcome predictor with an adjusted OR of 1.167 (95% CI: 1.053-1.294; P = 0.003).Conclusions: These findings support the hypothesis that increased estradiol and reduced testosterone levels are associated with AIS in men.

Aims.Although associations between various somatic diseases and depression are well established, findings concerning the role of gender and anxiety disorders for these associations remain fragmented and partly inconsistent. Combining data from three large-scaled epidemiological studies in primary care, we aim to investigate interactions of somatic diseases with gender and anxiety disorders in the association with depression.Methods.Self-reported depression according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition (ICD-10) was assessed in n = 83 737 patients from three independent studies [DETECT (Diabetes Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation: Targets and Essential Data for Commitment of Treatment), Depression-2000 and Generalized Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care (GAD-P)] using the Depression Screening Questionnaire (DSQ). Diagnoses of depression, anxiety disorders and somatic diseases were obtained from treating physicians via standardised clinical appraisal forms.Results.In logistic regressions, adjusted for gender, age group and study, each somatic disease except for arterial hypertension and endocrine diseases was associated with self-reported depression (odds ratio, OR 1.3–2.6) and each somatic disease was associated with physician-diagnosed depression (OR 1.1–2.4). Most of these associations remained significant after additional adjustment for anxiety disorders and other somatic diseases. The associations with depression increased with a higher number of somatic diseases. Cardiovascular diseases (OR 0.8), diabetes mellitus (OR 0.8) and neurological diseases (OR 0.8) interacted with gender in the association with self-reported depression, while endocrine diseases (OR 0.8) interacted with gender in the association with physician-diagnosed depression. That is, the associations between respective somatic diseases and depression were less pronounced in females v. males. Moreover, cardiovascular diseases (OR 0.7), arterial hypertension (OR 0.8), gastrointestinal diseases (OR 0.7) and neurological diseases (OR 0.6) interacted with anxiety disorders in the association with self-reported depression, and each somatic disease interacted with anxiety disorders in the association with physician-diagnosed depression (OR 0.6–0.8). That is, the associations between respective somatic diseases and depression were less pronounced in patients with v. without anxiety disorders; arterial hypertension was negatively associated with self-reported depression only in patients with anxiety disorders, but not in patients without anxiety disorders.Conclusions.A range of somatic diseases as well as anxiety disorders are linked to depression – and especially patients with co-/multi-morbidity are affected. However, interactions with gender and anxiety disorders are noteworthy and of relevance to potentially improve recognition and treatment of depression by physicians. Somatic diseases are associated more strongly with depression in males v. females as well as in patients without v. with anxiety disorders, primarily because women and patients with anxiety disorders per se are characterised by considerably increased depression prevalence that only marginally changes in the presence of somatic comorbidity.

The review is devoted to the discussion of modern concepts of the role of renal dysfunction in the development of chronic myocardial dysfunction in the context of cardio-renal syndrome (RVC) type 4. At the beginning of the review, the definition of cattle is given, general questions of pathogenesis and diagnosis of the disease are addressed. It is indicated that in patients with the initial stage of CKD, cardiovascular disorders are already registered which in the late stages of development of renal dysfunction are the leading causes of death and the true severity of the disease in patients with renal dysfunction is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, rather than an achievement terminal renal failure and requiring renal replacement therapy. The progression of renal pathology leads to damage to the heart through various mechanisms and factors, both traditional and non-traditional, some of which, at the culmination of the renal continuum, are the result of the dialysis procedure itself in patients with terminal renal dysfunction. Mechanisms for the development of congestive heart failure in type 4 cattle include pressure overload (arterial hypertension) and volume (anemia, edematous syndrome), which increase in proportion to the decrease in renal function. Increase in blood pressure, changes in intracardial hemodynamics, deterioration of arterial compliance contribute to the acceleration of cardiovascular events. The role of laboratory predictors of renal dysfunction in the progression of cardiovascular disorders is discussed. The general approaches of echocardiographic visualization of the heart cavities and its importance in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases are discussed. Special attention is paid to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, changes in the left and right ventricle of the myocardium with renal dysfunction.

Abstract Aim To value the possible relationship between the intensity of neoangiogenesis in the aortic wall in patients with resistant arterial hypertension and the subsequent development of ischemic cerebral disorders in them over a three-year follow-up. Materials and methods This study comprised 36 patients with resistant hypertension, in whom the renal denervation was carried out. MRI of the brain and also with contrast enhancement of the aorta and kidneys were examined. MRI studies included T2 and T1 spin-echo MRI, and also coronal slices, with suppression of the signal from adipose tissue (TR=150 ms, TE = 4 ms), before and in 12–15 minutes after contrast-enhanced. The diameter and thickness of the wall of the descending aorta were measured. Index of the enhancement of the aortic wall was calculated as the ratio of intensities of the wall after, and before contrast-enhanced. 9 according to MRI data - developed an acute ischemic stroke during this period, and 27 had no cerebral circulation disorders. The control group consisted of individuals without hypertension (n=12). Results After renal denervation, the systolic blood pressure significantly decreased in all patients for more than 15 mm Hg. In groups of patients with ischemic stroke, and without it, the diameter of the aortic lumen at the level above the renal arteries was 22,1±2,4 mm and 22,8±2,7 mm, respectively; the aortic wall thickness was 3,9±0,7 mm and 3,7±0,8 mm. In control subjects without hypertension, the wall thickness was less than 2,7 mm (on average 2,2±0,4 mm), with an aortic diameter of 21,3±0,9. As to the index of enhancement (as a marker of neoangiogenesis intensity) in the control group, in everybody, the IE was &lt;1,12. In patients with stroke within 3 years after renal denervation, IE = 2,12±0,31, and in patients without stroke IE = 1,66±0,19. The value of IE = 1,82 was the best for separating groups with and without stroke in the three years endpoint, as from the ROC analysis. Conclusion Contrast enhancement of the aortic wall in MRI is associated with the risk of brain ischemic stroke in patients with resistant arterial hypertension, even when blood pressure control is achieved by renal denervation. This makes it possible to predict the risk of stroke in these patients more reliably and encourages the inclusion of agents that reduce the activity of inflammation and pathological neoangiogenesis in the aortic wall, to the spectrum of antihypertensive therapy.

Background. The role of genetic factors in the predisposition to develop ischemic stroke has been assessed by previous studies. The main goal of the current study was to determine any possible role ofTNF-857C>T,TNFRSF1A36A>G,andTNFRSF1B676T>Gpolymorphisms in risk for stroke.Materials and Methods. One hundred seventy-three patients with first ever ischemic stroke of solely atherosclerotic etiology in Northwest Greece and a control group of 179 healthy unrelated subjects were evaluated.Results.TNFα-857TT,TNFR136AA, andTNFR2676TTgenotypes were significantly increased in the patient group compared to controls (, OR = 2.47 (1.26–4.84), , OR = 1.97 (1.22–3.17), and , OR = 2.2 (1.43–3.37), resp.). In addition, theTNFR136Aand theTNFR2676Talleles were found significantly increased in patients compared to controls (, OR = 1.48 (1.1–2) and , OR = 1.75 (1.25–2.46), resp.).Conclusion. The high incidence of these genotypes and alleles in patient group suggests that they are potentially predisposing factors for stroke in the Greek population studied. Large-scale multicenter controlled studies are needed to verify these polymorphisms effects on stroke susceptibility.

Sleep bruxism (SB) is a masticatory muscle activity during sleep that is characterized as rhythmic (phasic) or non-rhythmic (tonic). The recent hypothesis on the etiology of SB supports the role of the central and autonomic nervous systems. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess the intensity of SB in patients with arterial hypertension. A total of 70 adults participated in this study: 35 patients with hypertension (study group) and 35 normotensive subjects (control group). Data were recorded using home portable cardiorespiratory polygraphy. The bruxism episode index (BEI) in the study group was found to be significantly higher compared to the control group (3.4 ± 3.25 vs. 2.35 ± 2.29, p = 0.04). Hypertension, higher body mass index (BMI), lower values of mean oxygen saturation (SpO2), and a higher percentage of SpO2 < 90% constituted independent risk factors for increased BEI. These results suggest the need for special oral care in hypertensive patients, patients with higher BMI, lower values of SpO2 and a higher percentage of SpO2 < 90%.
