Cellular and Molecular Genetic Mechanisms of Lung Fibrosis Development and the Role of Vitamin D: A Review.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis remains a relevant problem of the healthcare system with an unfavorable prognosis for patients due to progressive fibrous remodeling of the pulmonary parenchyma. Starting with the damage of the epithelial lining of alveoli, pulmonary fibrosis is implemented through a cascade of complex mechanisms, the crucial of which is the TGF-β/SMAD-mediated pathway, involving various cell populations. Considering that a number of the available drugs (pirfenidone and nintedanib) have only limited effectiveness in slowing the progression of fibrosis, the search and justification of new approaches aimed at regulating the immune response, cellular aging processes, programmed cell death, and transdifferentiation of cell populations remains relevant.

[Neuroendocrine effects of helminthiases (A review)].

Nowadays the number of patients diagnosed with helminthiases shows tendency for steady growth around the world. During last few years, researches in the field of immunology have again turned their attention towards the question of parasitological immunity and tissue response. Helminthiases and other parasitic diseases in some instances can induce central nervous system disorders and violate human behavioral reactions.

Cardio and cytoprotective effect of cytoflavin in terms of experimental perinatal hemic hypoxia.

The Purpose: The purpose of research is to study cardiocytoprotective effect of cytoflavin in terms of aperinatal hypoxia in experiment.

Methods: During research the offspring (22 pups) of 15 females of white Wistar line rats aged 3-4 months were involved. The hypoxia was recreated by daily intraperitoneal introduction of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in a dose of 5 mg/100 g of the body weight causing a moderately severe hypoxia.
