Summary. The article deals with the study of immune status of patients with osteomyelitis and trophic disorders of the shin tissues. Objective: to evaluate the immune status of patients with shin-bone osteomyelitis and distrophic processes, and to study dynamics of immunological indices after surgical interventions (clearing and reconstructive restoring surgeries). Materials and Methods. The immune status of 52 patients with posttraumatic osteomyelitis and trophic disorders of the shin tissues was studied. Clinical, immunological, and statistical research methods were used. Results. The study revealed changes in immune defence and in trophic processes in tissues (bones, skin, and muscles) of the damaged extremity. Thus, the presence of changes in the immune status was established: a decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes, T-helpers, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, as well as changes in the humoral immune system – a decrease in immunoglobulins M and G levels and an increace in the level of circulating immune complexes. Conclusions. Changes in systemic immunity and local trophic disorders revealed in patients mutually aggravate the course of the pathological process and complicate its elimination.

The purpose of work was the research of the immune status and allocation of immunologic phenotypes at patients with the intolerance of stomatologic materials (ISM). Examination 91 patients aged from 46 up to 65 years, with complaints to ISM is conducted. As a result of a research of the T-cellular link of system of immunity at patients with an intolerance of stomatologic materials, but without the taped hypersensitivity to their components, taped the following patterns: statistically reliable (р<0,05) depression of the CD3+ levels of the T-general (47,9±3,7 at norm in control group – 66,2±4,5) and CD4+ of T-helpers (30,6±2,8 at norm of donors 38,2±3,2). It is noted reliable (р<0,05) depression of IRI (1,49±0,32 at norm of donors 1,76±0,36). At patients with complaints to an intolerance of stomatologic materials and the taped hypersensitivity, by results of application assays and reaction of allergenindutsirovanny damage of leucocytes the immune status was characterized reliable (р<0,05) by rising of quantity of the lymphocytes carrying CD25+ markers for 36,2% in comparison with those in control group (р<0,05). The augmentation of IRI (2,33±0,54) in comparison with control group (1,76±0,36) (р<0,05), generally at the expense of the increased CD4+ level of T-helpers and relative depression the maintenance of CD8+ of T lymphocytes to 18,3±3,6% is established (patients of control group have 21,7±3,09%). At that group depression of the IgA level (р<0,05) in blood serum to 1,36±0,12 g/l and in oral liqid to 0,042±0,0023 g/l is taped, and patients of control group have 2,57±0,06 g/l and 0,11±0,04 g/l respectively. The lowered activity of neutrocytes by results of spontaneous (8,4±3,5%) and induced (41,4±5,3%) is established to test NST at patients with ISM without hypersensitivity to dental alloys that authentically (р<0,05) differed with similar indicators of patients with ISM and the taped hypersensitivity to components of dental alloys. Indicators of the increased metabolic activity of neutrophils at patients with complaints to NSM and the taped hypersensitivity to dental alloys and their components defined in the NST-test correlated with: levels IgA of stomatic liquid (r=-0,55; р<0,05); quantity of dentoprosthetic units (r=0,72; р<0,05); terms of use of dentoprosthetic designs (r=0,47; р<0,05). The data obtained by us show two immunologic phenotypes of ISM: one with a hypersensitivity to them, the second with its absence. At both phenotypes signs of deficiency of local and general immunity which differed at these phenotypes are taped.

The dynamics of immunologic indices in the acute and early periods of the traumatic disease was analyzed in 30 patients (25-60 years) with polytrauma. Even during the period of early manifestations of the traumatic disease the signs of immune deficiency are already determined as a disturbance of T-lymphocytes differentiation, T-helpers in particular. The changes in the system of cellular immunity coincide by time with the occurrence of clinical signs of secondary posttraumatic immune deficiency, i.e. pneumonias, pleurities, purulent endobronchites. The obtained data are indicative of the fact that patients with polytrauma already require immunostimulation during the period of early manifestations of the traumatic disease.

Aim. Justify the use of low-frequency laser radiation (LFLR) treating chronic salpingoophoritis of chlamydial etiology, taking into account the assessment of the immune status.Material and methods. The study included 110 women, of which 80 women had chronic salpingo-oophoritis of chlamydial etiology, and 30 were practically healthy. In addition to conventional methods, patients underwent examinations like immunological analysis, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.Results and discussion. When comparing changes in the immune status in patients after LFLR and who underwent traditional therapy in the group of patients with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), there was a slight increase in the number of T-lymphocytes and T-helpers, as well as a decrease in the number of T-suppressors. Also, in these patients, there is a slight decrease in the number of IgA and IgM against the background of an increase in IgG and an increase in the phagocytic activity of neutrophils. In patients with traditional therapy, the above-described changes persisted, while an aggravation of the disturbed T-cell balance was observed.Conclusions. Thus, according to the results of a comparative analysis of the obtained data on changes in the immune status in patients with chronic salpingo-oophoritis after the use of laser therapy, a statistically significant increase in the number of T-lymphocytes, an increase in subpopulations including T-helpers, a decrease in the number of T-suppressors, an increase in immunoglobulin G and an increase in phagocytic activity of neutrophils was observed.

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, mostly in children less than five years and elderly people. Although the pneumoniae polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) and pneumonia conjugate vaccines (PCV) are the efficient pneumococcal vaccine in adult and children groups, but the serotype replacement of S. pneumoniae strains causes the reduction in the efficacy of PPV and PCV vaccines. Epitope-based vaccines are a promising alternative to the present capsular antigen vaccines. Methods: In this study, we evaluated cellular and humoral immune responses induced by our novel designed multi-epitope vaccine in BALB/c mice. CD8+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) epitopes were selected from PspA and CbpA antigens, and CD4+ helper T lymphocytes (HTLs) epitopes were chosen from PhtD and PiuA antigens. PorB, the TLR2 agonist, as an adjuvant, was employed to increase the immunogenicity of the vaccine. Results and conclusion: The high levels of specific anti-peptide vaccine IgG and an increase in the level of IgG2 in the vaccinated group demonstrated our vaccine could elicit a robust antibody production. The significant increase in IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-6, and decrease in IL-10 showed that, the designed vaccine could be proposed as the efficient preventative pneumococcal vaccine in the mouse model.

Immunity Function

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve disorders of heart and blood vessels, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, which finally lead to Heart Failure (HF). There are several treatments available all over the world, but still, CVD and heart failure became the number one problem causing death every year worldwide. Both experimental and clinical studies have shown a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of heart failure. This seems related to an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Cardiac inflammation is a major pathophysiological mechanism operating in the failing heart, regardless of HF aetiology. Disturbances of the cellular and humoral immune system are frequently observed in heart failure. This review describes how B-cells play a specific role in the heart failure states. There is an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop advanced therapeutic strategies to combat the syndrome of HF. Understanding and describing the elements of the humoral immunity function are essential and may suggest potential new treatment strategies.

Parvovirus B19 Infection

Abstract Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CD20 and used in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Due to its ability to deplete B lymphocytes, rituximab can interfere with humoral immunity, causing it to be suppressed for several months after treatment. The reported case depicts a serious consequence of this effect of rituximab therapy: pure red cell aplasia resulting from chronic parvovirus B19 infection. The point of interest in this case is not only the association between rituximab therapy and pure red cell aplasia, but the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of the knowledge of parvovirus B19 as the likely etiologic link between the two. Given the known efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in the treatment of chronic parvovirus B19 infection, this therapy can cure some of these patients and successfully render most others transfusion-independent until recovery of their own humoral immune system.

The Mean

AbstractSerum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA and IgM) levels were determined in patients with chronic tonsillitis before and one month after tonsillectomy. The preoperative levels of serum IgG, IgA and IgM were significantly higher when compared with the controls. The increase may be due to repeated antigenic stimulation. The post-operative levels for the three immunoglobulins were decreased; however, a significant reduction was observed for IgG only where the mean value was comparable with the control group. The data confirm that tonsillectomy does not disturb the humoral immune system of the body.
