Association of metabolic syndrome components with the genotypes of the С825Т polymorphism in the g protein β3-subunit gene (GNB3).

Objective: Introduction: All components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) are the risk factors for the cardiovascular diseases, and their combination a great deal accelerates and complicates development of the diseases. Phenotypic expression of MS depends on the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The aim: The aim is to study the association of metabolic syndrome components with the genotypes of the C825T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene, which allows predicting the risks and determining individual lifestyle and treatment program for the future.

Bcl1 polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor gene in patients with bronchial asthma with obesity.

The objective of this investigation was to analyze possible association between BclI polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor gene and obesity in patients with bronchial asthma (BA). The study involved 188 patients with bronchial asthma and 95 apparently healthy adult individuals. Generally accepted assessments and examinations for BA diagnosis, and anthropometric, molecular-genetic and statistic methods of investigation were used in the research.

Haemostatic chitosan coated gauze: in vitro interaction with human blood and in-vivo effectiveness.

Background: Chitosan and its derivates are widely used for biomedical application due to antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and tissue repair induced properties. Chitosan-based materials also used as a haemostatic agent but influence of different molecular weight and concentration of chitosan on biological response of blood cells is still not clear. The aim of this research was to evaluate interaction between human blood cells and various forms of chitosan-based materials with different molecular weight and chitosan concentration and prove their effectiveness on in-vivo model.

[DISTRIBUTION OF GENOTYPES OF C825T POLYMORPHISM β3-SUBUNIT G-PROTEIN GENE IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION ACCORDING THE DEGREE OF OBESITY].

Arterial hypertension (AH) and obesity - risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and their complications, leading to high morbidity and mortality. These nosologies notedly linked, because have common etiological factors, pathophysiological mechanisms and genetic determination. The aim this research was to analyze the distribution of genotypes of the C825T polymorphism of β3-subunit G-protein gene (GNB3) according the degree of obesity and to assess the risk of obesity in patients with AH.

[BCL1 POLYMORPHISM OF GLUCOCORTICOID RECEPTOR GENE AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES].

The article analyses the results of investigating the connection between BCL1-polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor gene and respiratory diseases. Its role in increasing sensitivity to glucocorticoids is proved here. The authors investigated the association of Bcl1 polymorphism with predisposition to bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with the nicotine addiction degree and with progressing disorders of pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis.
