Background: The involvement of reactive oxygen species in periodontal diseases is unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the oxidative function of neutrophilic leukocytes of the peripheral venous blood in patients with severe periodontitis and type 1 diabetes mellitus and in the control subjects with healthy periodontal tissues and without systemic diseases.
Materials And Methods: The leukocytes for the present investigation were obtained from peripheral venous blood of 38 patients with severe periodontitis and type 1 diabetes mellitus and 27 control subjects. The maximal luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and peak time values of neutrophils stimulated with non-opsonized Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus 256 were measured.
Results: The maximal luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of neutrophils in patients with severe periodontitis, stimulated with non-opsonized Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, is mainly lower than that in the control group subjects (p < 0.001). Luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of neutrophils reached its maximal value at the same time in both the diseased and the healthy patients.
Conclusion: In periodontitis, local non-opsonized bacteria might stimulate neutrophilic leukocytes to release oxygen species. However, these cells in patients with periodontitis are characterized by a lower intensity of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (p < 0.001) compared to analogous findings in people with healthy periodontal tissues. This might indicate insufficient microbicidal activity of these cells in patients with periodontitis.

The efficiency of combinations of cytostatics cisplatin and adriamycin with antioxidant sodium 3-(3'-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl thiosulfate (TS-13), and nitric oxide (NO) donor NaNO was evaluated on two drug-resistant strains of leukemia P388 with changed redox-status of cells. Simultaneous use of both NO donor and TS-13 in combinations with the cytostatics did not increase the efficiency of therapy. In addition, antioxidant activity of TS-13, NaNO, and their combinations was studied by the method of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence on the model systems with the use of the homogenized cells of sensitive strain and two drug-resistant strains of leukemia P388.

Objective: Recent studies have described a significant role for neutrophils in reproductive processes and their participation in the preparation of the cervix for childbirth and the activation of labor, in the postpartum involution of the uterus, and in the occurrence of preeclampsia. This study aimed to assess the formation of free radicals by neutrophils in the blood of women on the first day after childbirth and to characterize the adrenergic effect on this process.
Methods: Venous blood samples from 100 female volunteers aged 26-32 years who had 2 or 3 full-term deliveries were collected and analyzed.

Steroid hormones are the key regulators of inflammatory and autoimmune processes. The role of steroid hormones is mostly inhibitory in these processes. The expression of IL-6, TNFα, and IL-1β, as markers of inflammation, and TGFβ, as a marker of fibrosis, could be useful tools to predict the response of an individual's immune system to the different progestins suitable for the treatment of menopausal inflammatory disorders, including endometriosis.

The reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by a single neutrophil after stimulation with and was estimated by an electrochemical amperometric method with a high time resolution. This showed significant variability in the response of a single neutrophil to bacterial stimulation, from a "silent cell" to a pronounced response manifested by a series of chronoamperometric spikes. The amount of ROS produced by a single neutrophil under the influence of was 5.

Implantation of scaffolds causes a local inflammatory response whereby the early recruitment of neutrophils is of great importance not only for fighting the infection, but also for facilitating effective regeneration. We used luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, flow cytometry, ELISA, and confocal microscopy to assess the responses of neutrophils after the exposure to the scaffold-decellularized bovine pericardium (collagen type I) crosslinked with genipin (DBPG). We demonstrated that DBPG activated neutrophils in whole blood causing respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase (MPO) secretion, and formation of neutrophil extracellular trap-like structures (NETs).
