Sphingomyelins of Local Fat Depots and Blood Serum as Promising Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Diseases.

Unlabelled: Assessment of the blood lipid spectrum does not always properly reflect local dysfunctional changes in the adipose tissue and prevents identification of all patients at high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Monitoring of changes in sphingomyelin levels allows to assess and anticipate the development and/or severity of these diseases, as well as to make sphingomyelins new therapeutic targets. was to evaluate the sphingomyelin spectrum of local fat depots and blood serum in connection with clinical and instrumental indicators in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and patients with degenerative acquired valvular heart disease (AVHD).

[MicroRNA and obesity. A modern view of the problem (review of literature).].

The incidence of obesity is steadily increasing worldwide, reaching the epidemic. Obesity is associated with cardiometabolic diseases through the complex interactions between genetics and epigenetics predisposition, the environment, diet, and lifestyle. However, the molecular mechanisms and factors influencing these processes are not fully known.

[Expression of gene and content of adiponectin in fatty tissue in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The purpose of the study was to investigate the features of expression and adiponectin content in the adipocyte culture of subcutaneous, epicardial, and perivascular adipose tissue and the effect of various doses of rosuvastatin on these processes. 29 patients with coronary artery disease were examined. Adipocytes were isolated from the samples of SAT, EAT and PVAT which were taken during coronary artery bypass surgery, followed by cultivation in the presence of rosuvastatin and evaluation of gene expression and adiponectin concentration.

The role of perivascular adipose tissue in the development of cardiovascular diseases. The importance of diagnosis for assessing the risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases.

Obesity is closely associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, including dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Adipose tissue (AT) is identified as a complex endocrine organ, with a wide range of regulatory functions at the cellular, tissue and systemic levels. Various terms, including paracardiac, epicardial and pericardial, are used to describe the fatty deposits surrounding the heart.

The marker of adverse prognosis 1.5-anhydroglucitol in patients with coronary heart disease in the long-term period after planned myocardial revascularization.

Aim: Determination of the prognostic value of 1.5-anhydroglucitol (1.5-AG) for the development of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) within a year after a planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Adipokine and Cytokine Profiles of Epicardial and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease.

The content of adipokines, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were studied in adipocytes isolated from epicardial and subcutaneous adipose tissue of 24 coronary heart disease patients. The content of leptin and soluble leptin receptor in adipocytes of epicardial adipose tissue was higher by 28.6 and 56.

[Evaluation of the hemostatic potential at coronary artery bypass surgery during long-term aspirin therapy].

Aim: To estimate thrombin generation test parameters in patients with coronary heart disease during coronary artery bypass surgery under extracorporeal circulation after transfusion of donor platelet concentrates during long-term therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

Subjects And Methods: A total of 148 patients with coronary heart disease who had undergone elective primary coronary artery bypass surgery under extracorporeal circulation during preserved therapy with ASA (75-100 mg/day) were examined. According to donor platelet concentrate transfusion, all the patients were divided into 2 groups: 1) 76 patients undergoing donor platelet transfusion and 2) 72 without this procedure.

[The physiologic and pathophysiologic role of stimulating growth factor ST2.].

The ST2 is a member of family of receptors of interleukin I (IL-I) and consists of two isoforms: a trans-membrane of cellular one (ST2L) and soluble or circulating one (sST2). The ST2 is a receptor of IL-33 that represents IL-I like cytokine. The IL-33 manifests its cellular functions binding receptor complex consisted of accessory protein ST2L and IL-IR.

[The advantage of test on thrombin generation for evaluation of hemostasis potential under implementation of coronary bypass surgery in patients with ischemic heart disease.].

The purpose of study is to evaluate peri-operational parameters of testing of generation of thrombin and its relationship with indices of coagulation hemostasis, fibrinolytic system and anti-coagulants in patients with ischemic heart disease under coronary bypass surgery in conditions of artificial blood circulation. The examined sampling included 200 patients with ischemic heart disease. The planned primary operation of coronary bypass surgery in conditions of artificial blood circulation was applied to all of them.

[Diagnostic value of the stimulating growth factor ST2 during hospitalization for myocardial infarction].

Aim: To determine the concentration of the stimulating growth factor ST2 and its relationship to the clinical course of myocardial infarction (MI) over time during hospitalization.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-eight MI patients whose mean age was 59±8.36 years were examined.

[The possibility of application of stimulant growth factor (ST2) for verifying postinfarction remodeling of myocardium.].

Purpose Of Study: To detect level ST2 in blood serum of patients with myocardium infarction in dynamics of hospital period and their relationship with remodeling of myocardium.

Materials And Methods: The study sampling included 87 patients (65 males and 22 females) with myocardium infarction and the ST-segment elevation and average age of 59 years. All patients were allocated in two groups: with adaptive alternative of remodeling of myocardium (67 patients) and deadaptive alternative (20 patients).

[THE SYSTEM OF SOLUBLE LEPTIN RECEPTORS AND PROINFLAMMATORY FACTORS IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION].

The present study was motivated by the lack of data on the role ofvariations in the levels of leptin and its soluble receptors and their interaction with proinflammatory factors in the development of acute coronary syndrome. The study included patients suffering myocardial infarction with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hyperleptinemia and its relationship with myocardial necrosis markers (creatine phosphokinase, creatine phosphokinase-MB, troponin) give reason to suggest the important role of leptin in the development of inflammatory process associated with myocardial infarction in patients with and without diabetes mellitus.

[The markers of lipid transport system of blood and annual prognosis of cardiac infarction].

The sampling included 133 patients with diagnosis of cardiac infarction with peak of segment ST. After a year after old cardiac infarction, in 38 patients were established such unfavorable outcomes of disease as progressive stenocardia, decompensation of cardiac failure, repeated cardiac infarction and lethal outcome. It is established that among all indicators of lipid profile detected at hospital period of cardiac infarction only three indicators are prognostically significant in groups of patients with different outcomes--levels of free fatty acids, oxidized modified lipoproteins of low density and antibodies to them.
