With the purpose to study clinical and functional parameters of coronary heart disease (CHD) course, the authors carried out a complex examination of 376 patients (308 men and 68 women). The evolution of their psychophysiological condition was evaluated after 1, 3, 5, and 7 years. 3 variants of disease course were distinguished: 1--clinical remission--was observed in 27 (7.1%) patients; 2--stable CHD course--in 263 (69.9%) patients; 3--complicated CHD course--in 86 (23%) patients. The complicated disease course was characterized by increasing clinical manifestations of angina with myocardial contractility impairment, shorter remission periods, low activity tolerance, and persistent hypercholesterinemia. These patients had persistent hypochondric and depressive manifestations of psychoemotional disadaptation, which confirms the interrelation between the disease and psychosomatic disturbances. Regression analysis proved high informative value of a range of clinical parameters, which allow verification of diagnostical process during long-term follow-up, and improvement of treatment quality.

Background: Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones via capillary sprouting, is a crucial process in tumor growth and metastasis. As a tumor's angiogenic capacity increases, its microvasculature, measured by micro vessel density (MVD), also increases. This study aims to evaluate the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and CD34 in oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma through immunohistochemical methods.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as a marker of kidney function is important in health and disease management because decreased kidney function is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, progression of kidney disease, predisposition to acute kidney injury (AKI), and for drug dosage modification. While measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is acknowledged as the most accurate method for evaluating kidney function, it is at present not feasible to be applied in the clinical arena. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is preferred due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and seamless integration into standard clinical practice for kidney function evaluation.

 Combination therapy, which synergistically enhances treatment efficacy and inhibits disease progression through the combined effects of multiple drugs, has emerged as a mainstream approach for treating complex diseases and alleviating symptoms. However, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can sometimes lead to adverse reactions, potentially endangering lives. Therefore, developing efficient and accurate DDI prediction methods is crucial for elucidating drug mechanisms and preventing side effects.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by the progressive, autoimmune-mediated destruction of β cells. As such, restoring immunoregulation early in the disease course is sought to retain endogenous insulin production. Nevertheless, in the more than 100 years since the discovery of insulin, treatment of T1DM has focused primarily on hormone replacement and glucose monitoring.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
