Zhukov A.S., Belousova I.E., Khairutdinov V.R., Telichko I.N., Samtsov A.V.

Abstract

The level of the proliferative activity is an important predictor of a number of oncologic diseases; at the same time, its diagnostic value for mycosis fungoides was not adequately investigated. Goal. To study the proliferative activity of lymphocytes in the skin of patients suffering form mycosis fungoides and plaque parapsoriasis. Materials and methods. The level of CD3+ and Ki-67+ cells was determined in skin biopsy samples taken from patients suffering from mycosis fungoides (18 subjects) and plaque parapsoriasis (6 subjects) by means of immunohistochemistry. The epidermal to dermal skin cell proliferative activity ratio (Ki-67+) and cell proliferative activity index were calculated. The control group comprised 16 healthy people. Results. The epidermal to dermal skin cell proliferative activity ratio amounted to 10.9 in healthy people, 5.43 in patients suffering from plaque parapsoriasis, and 3.84 and 2.42 in patients suffering from mycosis fungoides, spotty and plaque and tumor stages, respectively. The percentage of proliferative CD3+Ki-67+ cells relative to the total number of T-lymphocytes amounted to 1% in the patients suffering from plaque parapsoriasis and 3% in the patients with mycosis fungoides, spotty stage. Conclusion. The epidermal to dermal skin cell proliferative activity ratio (Ki-67+) in patients suffering from mycosis fungoides at any stage is lower than that in healthy subjects and patients suffering from parapsoriasis. The cell proliferative activity index was higher in the patients with mycosis fungoides, plaque and tumor stage, than in the patients with parapsoriasis. The number of CD3+Ki-67+ cells was higher in the patients with mycosis fungoides, spotty and plaque and tumor stages, than in the healthy subjects and patients suffering from parapsoriasis.

Role of disorders related to idiotypic and anti-idiotypic interactions in slowing down the achievement of negative serologic reactions in patients with early onset forms of syphilis after specific therapy

Volkova Y.N., Morozov S.G., Mitichkina Y.V., Grigoriyeva A.A., Yelistratova I.V.

Abstract

Goal. To study the humoral immunity state in patients with the slowed down achievement of negative serologic reactions after the treatment of early onset forms of syphilis by means of examining the blood serum level of idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies to cardiolipin and p17 Treponema Pallidum antigenic protein. Materials and methods. The study involved 324 patients (39.5% male and 60.5% female) with the slowed down achievement of negative serologic reactions. Primary (idiotypic) antibodies to cardiolipin and p17 protein were obtained using immunochromatographic assays with the help of the Bio Logik LP system. Purified antibodies were concentrated using the ultrafiltration technique with the aid of the XM-100А membrane. To obtain the rabbit antiserum to p17 Treponema Pallidum protein, chinchilla rabbits were immunized using the commercial recombinant p17 protein. To determine anti-cardiolipin idiotypic antibodies in the blood serum, the ELISa method optimized for detecting anti-cardiolipin antibodies was applied. To determine anti-cardiolipin anti-idiotypic antibodies as well as idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies to p17 Treponema Pallidum protein, the standard ELISA method was applied. The following antigens were used to process the pads: F(ab)2 fragments of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (5 μg/mL), recombinant р17 T. pallidum protein (5 μg/mL) and F(ab)2 fragments of antibodies to р17 T. pallidum protein (10 μg/mL). The level of antibodies was assessed based on the absorbancy and expressed in conventional activity units using the K coefficient being the absorbancy of the serum under examination to the mean absorbancy of control serums ratio. The K value exceeding 1.5 conventional units indicated the increased level of antibodies. Results. Patients with the slowed down achievement of negative serologic reactions demonstrated a selective increase in the level of anti-idiotypic antibodies (AIAB) relative to T. pallidum antigens, cardiolipin and p17 protein, vs. first-order antibodies, which points at abnormal mutual regulation between idiotypic antibodies (IAB) and AIAB; the discovered phenomenon lays the immunochemical basis for the formation of a self-sustaining “vicious circle” contributing to the induction of high levels of antibodies to treponema antigens even when the pathogen was destroyed.

Optimization of diagnostics and treatment of posttraumatic onycholysis

Neznakhina M.S., Petrova G.A., Garanina O.Y., Shlivko I.L., Ellinsky D.O., Petrova K.S.

Abstract

Onycholysis is a peculiar and prevalent nail affection conditioned by the detachment of the distal part of the nail from the nail bed. The absence of any reliable diagnostics criteria often results in diagnostics errors, inadequate treatment and reduced patient’s life quality. Goal of the research. To find out whether it is possible to use OCT for diagnosing onycholysis and Merz Spezial Dragees for the treatment of posttraumatic onycholysis, and to reasonably confirm the drug efficacy using OCT. Materials and methods. The study involved 15 volunteers with posttraumatic onycholysis aged 20-35 (mean age: 28) including 12 female and 3 male subjects. One nail was affected in 7 cases, and two nails were affected in 8 cases. The area of the onycholysis zone was less than one third of the nail area (mean NAPSI value: 2.9 points). For the purposes of clinical control over the efficacy of Merz Spezial Dragees and nail monitoring, the OCT method was applied. Tests were performed 5 and 7 weeks after the observation and treatment onset. Results. Merz Spezial Dragees contribute to faster regression of clinical manifestations of posttraumatic onycholysis and recovery of the normal state of the nail.

SHORT COMMUNICATION

Application of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy in Biology and Medicine

Volkov I.A., Frigo N.V., Znamenskaya L.F., Katunina O.R.

Abstract

Fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy and reflectance confocal laser scanning microscopy are up-to-date highend study methods. Confocal microscopy is used in cell biology and medicine. By using confocal microscopy, it is possible to study bioplasts and localization of protein molecules and other compounds relative to cell or tissue structures, and to monitor dynamic cell processes. Confocal microscopes enable layer-by-layer scanning of test items to create demonstrable 3D models. As compared to usual fluorescent microscopes, confocal microscopes are characterized by a higher contrast ratio and image definition.

DRUG TREATMENT IN DERMATOVENEROLOGY

Application of external drugs comprising silver compounds for the treatment of pyodermic patients

Samtsov A.V., Telichko I.N., Statsenko A.V., Khairutdinov V.R.

Abstract

An external anti-bacterial therapy is selected for pyodermic patients empirically. Silver sulfathiazole has an evident anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effect against a broad range of microorganisms. Goal of the study. To assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a cream comprising 2% silver sulfathiazole vs. 3% tetracycline ointment for the treatment of pyodermic patients. Materials and methods. The study involved 50 pyodermic patients (at the mean age of 23.5 ± 4.1 years) including 31 (62%) male and 19 (38%) female patients. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n = 35) used the cream comprising 2% silver sulfathiazole while Group II (n = 15) was administered 3% tetracycline ointment. All of the patients were assessed for clinical and microbiological efficacy of the therapy. Results. The average patient recovery time in Group I amounted to 8.7 ± 0.9 days and 13.1 ± 2.7 days in Group II (р < 0.01). As many as 33 patients (94.3%) achieved clinical recovery and 2 patients (5.7%) achieved improvement by Day 10 in Group I; in Group II, clinical recovery was observed in 8 patients (53.3%), improvement - in 3 patients (20%), and no effect - in 4 patients (26.7%). Conclusion. The external anti-bacterial monotherapy of pyodermic patients with the cream comprising 2% silver sulfathiazole is more efficient than treatment with 3% tetracycline ointment. High clinical and microbiological efficacy of the cream comprising 2% silver sulfathiazole makes it possible to recommend it for empirical treatment of pyodermic patients.
