Adipokines, Metabolic Hormones and Their Associations with Abdominal Obesity against a Background of Hyper-LDL-C in Young People.

Background: The present study was devoted to the search for possible associations between various adipokines/cytokines associated with the secretory activity of visceral adipocytes, elevated blood levels of LDL-C and abdominal obesity in people under 45 years.

Methods: A population sample of Novosibirsk residents (n = 1415) was divided into deciles based on the levels of LDL-C. The study included 158 people, 87 men and 71 women, who had serum LDL-C levels of ≥4.

The Search for Associations of Serum Proteins with the Presence of Unstable Atherosclerotic Plaque in Coronary Atherosclerosis.

To study the associations of blood proteins with the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries of patients with coronary atherosclerosis using quantitative proteomics. The studies involved two groups of men with coronary atherosclerosis (group 1 (St) had only stable atherosclerotic plaques; group 2 (Ns) had only unstable atherosclerotic plaques, according to histological analysis of tissue samples); the average age of patients was 57.95 ± 7.

Blood Adipokines/Cytokines in Young People with Chronic Bronchitis and Abdominal Obesity.

The pathogenesis of the development of chronic lung diseases assumes the participation of systemic inflammation factors, as well as hormone-like substances produced by adipose tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of certain adipokines/cytokines and chronic bronchitis against the background of abdominal obesity in young people. The study included 1415 people aged 25-44.

Adipokine Levels in Men with Coronary Atherosclerosis on the Background of Abdominal Obesity.

Obesity is associated with dyslipidemia, and excess body fat is associated with unfavorable levels of adipokines and markers of inflammation. To study the level of adipokines and markers of inflammation, their associations with unstable atherosclerotic plaques in men with coronary atherosclerosis on the background of abdominal obesity. The study involved 82 men aged 40-77 years with coronary atherosclerosis after endarterectomy from the coronary arteries.

Basic Research in Atherosclerosis: Technologies of Personalized Medicine.

The first national conference with international participation, "Fundamental aspects of atherosclerosis: scientific research for improving the technologies of personalized medicine", was held in Novosibirsk on 15 October 2021 [...

Blood Levels of Indicators of Lower Respiratory Tract Damage in Chronic Bronchitis in Patients with Abdominal Obesity.

Objective: to study biomolecules associated with pathology in the respiratory system, in particular, with the development of chronic bronchitis in patients with abdominal obesity.

Materials And Methods: This is a pilot study. The main group consisted of 158 people with chronic bronchitis, divided into two subgroups: one with abdominal obesity, and the other without it.

Proteomic Studies of Blood and Vascular Wall in Atherosclerosis.

The review is devoted to the analysis of literature data related to the role of proteomic studies in the study of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis of patients with atherosclerotic plaques before clinical manifestations is an arduous task. The review presents the results of research on the new proteomic potential biomarkers of coronary heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, carotid artery atherosclerosis.

Associations of Antioxidant Enzymes with the Concentration of Fatty Acids in the Blood of Men with Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis.

Objective: To identify associations of fatty acids (FAs) with the antioxidant enzymes in the blood of men with coronary atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Methods: The study included 80 patients: control group-20 men without IHD, the core group-60 men with IHD. The core group was divided into subgroups: subgroup A-with the presence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, subgroup B-with the absence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.

Association of Matrix Metalloproteinases with Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients with CHD.

This work is aimed at studying the relationship of matrix metalloproteinases with calcification of the coronary arteries. The study included 78 people with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 36 without CHD. Blood and samples of coronary arteries obtained as a result of endarterectomy were examined.

Association of some hemostasis and endothelial dysfunction factors with probability of presence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

Objective: The study was dedicated to investigation of some hemostasis and endothelial dysfunction factors association with probability of presence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries in men with atherosclerosis.

Results: The blood levels of factor VII, factor XII and MCP-1 were higher, and concentration of sVCAM-1 lower in men with vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries, compared to men who had stable plaques. Have been revealed correlation links between the blood levels of factor II, factor XII, MCP-1 and the presence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries.
