Investigation of blood microcirculation parameters in patients with rheumatic diseases by videocapillaroscopy and laser Doppler flowmetry during cold pressor test

Videocapillaroscopy (VCS) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) are non-invasive methods for evaluating microcirculation parameters. The VCS method is based on a high-speed video recording of capillaries in the nailfold. The recorded video frames are processed using a specialized algorithm to determine the red blood cells velocity. The LDF technique is based on the analysis of the Doppler shift of back-scattered laser radiation from moving red blood cells. In this work, simultaneous measurements of VCS and LDF have been performed in healthy volunteers and rheumatic patient. The study was conducted using a cold pressor test. Changes were recorded in response to cold exposure in rheumatic diseases

ВЛИЯНИЕ ИМПУЛЬСНЫХ МАГНИТНЫХ ПОЛЕЙ НА ЭКСПРЕССИЮ ГЕНОВ ОНКОСУПРЕССОРОВ В ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТЕ НА КУЛЬТУРЕ КЛЕТОК ГЛИОБЛАСТОМЫ ЧЕЛОВЕКА T98G

Aim: to study the effect of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) on the expression of key tumor suppressor genes, such as aPc, MLH, and MGMt in human t98G glioblastoma cell line. material and methods. the PMF with the intensity of 15 and 300 mt was used alone and in combination with ionizing radiation at a single dose of 10 Gy. to perform ionizing radiation, theratron Equinox 60co unit Best theratronics Ltd., Ottawa, canada) was used. the source of the pulsed magnetic field was Neuro-Ms / D therapeutic advanced device of the Neurosoft company. Live and dead cells were determined in NanoEntekJuliFl cell counter (Korea) using a 0.4 % trypan blue solution to stain dead cells. total RNa was extracted according to the protocol of the manufacturer trizol with changes: the aqueous phase was separated with trizol reagent twice. the quantitative measurement of the isolated RNa was carried out on a Qubit 2.0 fluorimeter using a kit of reagents with the Quant-it RNa assayKit RNa intercalating dye (Life technologies, usa). the expression of MLH, aPc, and MGMt genes was evaluated by Rt-PcR using a cFx96 amplifier (BioRad, usa). Data were analyzed using the cycle threshold (ct) method with normalization for tBP gene expression in each sample. Relative expression of the genetic locus (Exp) was calculated by the 2-Δct method. statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the statictica v10 software package. Results. One day after exposure to PMF, significant differences in the MGMt expression level compared to the control were found (p<0.05). a significant decrease in the transcriptional activity of the MGMt gene in glioblastoma cells was observed with PMF intensity of 15 mt, and correlated with the cell mortality rate. No changes in the mortality rate were observed after radiation exposure combined with 15 mt PMF. However, the mortality rate decreased from 18.7 % to 15 % after radiation exposure combined with 300 mt PMF. Conclusion. the effect of reduction in the transcriptional activity of MGMt in t98G glioblastoma cells and the effect of PMF as a monofactor on their viability characterize the magnetic susceptibility of tumor cell mechanisms. Given the multidirectional nature of the combined interaction of ionizing radiation and PMF, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of choosing and justifying the role of biotropic parameters of PMF in order to exclude a negative effect on the treatment.Цель исследования – изучить влияние импульсного магнитного поля (ИМП) на экспрессию ключевых генов онкосупрессоров aPc, MLH, MGMt клеточной линии глиобластомы человека t98G. Материал и методы. На культуре клеток t98G проведено воздействие ИМП с параметрами индукции 15 и 300 mt как самостоятельно, так и в сочетании с воздействием ионизирующего излучения (РОД 10 Гр). Ионизирующее излучение проводилось на аппарате theratronEquinox фирмы Besttheratronics, где в качестве источника излучения использовался 60Со. Источником импульсного магнитного поля служил аппарат «Нейро-МС/Д терапевтический расширенный» компании «Нейрософт». Определение живых/мертвых клеток проводили в счетчике клеток NanoEntekJuliFl (Корея) с использованием 0,4 % раствора трипанового синего для окраски мертвых клеток. Экстракцию тотальной РНК проводили по протоколу изготовителя trizol с изменениями: водную фазу сепарировали с реагентом trizol дважды. Количественное измерение выделенной РНК проводили на флюориметре Qubit 2.0 с использованием набора реактивов с РНК-интеркалирующим красителем Quant-it RNa assayKit (Lifetechnologies, США). Оценку экспрессии генов MLH, aPc, MGMt проводили методом Rt-PcR на амплификаторе cFx96 (BioRad, США). Данные анализировали с использованием метода порогового значения цикла (ct) с нормализацией по экспрессии гена tBP в каждом образце. Относительную экспрессию генетического локуса (Еxp) рассчитывали по методу 2-Δct. Статистический анализ результатов осуществляли с помощью пакета программ statictica v10. Результаты. Установлено, что через сутки после воздействия ИМП индукцией 15 mt и 300 mt отношение уровня экспрессии MGMt к контролю имело значимые различия (p<0,05). Наиболее выраженное снижение транскрипционной активности гена MGMt в клетках глиобластомы отмечалось при ИМП 15 mt и коррелировало с показателем летальности клеток. Уровень летальности, достигнутый после лучевого воздействия и ИМП 15 mt, не изменялся, а при сочетании с ИМП 300 mt снижался с 18,7 до 15 %. Заключение. Эффекты снижения транскрипционной активности MGMt в клетках глиобластомы t98G и способность влияния ИМП как монофактора на их жизнеспособность характеризуют магнитовосприимчивость клеточных механизмов опухоли. При сочетании ИМП с ионизирующим излучением характер их взаимовлияния меняется от индифферентного до антагонистического, что указывает на необходимость подбора и обоснования ключевых биотропных параметров

BALAYAN PARADOX

This article presents the results of a study of the epidemiology of hepatitis E in the Russian Federation. Obtained data explaining the phenomenon, known as the Balayan paradox — the wide distribution of anamnestic antibodies to the hepatitis E virus in the absence of a registered incidence. It was shown that imported cases of infection are not able to support the epidemiological process of hepatitis E in Russia. The most cases of HEV infection are autochthonous in nature and are associated with zoonotic transmission of genotype 3 virus from pigs
