Search for new molecular targets for anticytokine therapy of patients, suffering from the immune dependent skin disease — psoriasis
Abstract
The authors describe the results of a study aimed at searching for new molecular targets for anticytokine therapy of patients with psoriasis. The authors examined 26 patients with psoriasis who were treated with such immune biologic substances as infliximab, ustekinumab, adalimumab and 10 healthy volunteers. They performed a quality and quantity analysis of the spectrum of protein molecules of cytokines (L-4, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α and IL-20, IL-22, IL-31, IL-12, IL-11, IL-18) аs well as VEGF and ICAM-1 molecules in patients receiving the therapy with immune biologic substances before and after treatment using the methodology of the immune enzyme analysis and xMAP multiplex technology. The authors studied the correlation between the level of cytokine expression, on the one hand, and the occurrence and limitation of the disease, on the other hand. The obtained data are sufficient to conclude that the spectrum of molecules of IL6, IL20, IL22 anti-inflammatory cytokines аs well as VEGF and ICAM-1 molecules, for which pathogenic importance in case of psoriasis was revealed as a result of the study , may serve as a potential (new, additional) molecular target for anticytokine therapy of patients suffering with such an immune-dependent skin disease as psoriasis.

Results of molecular and genetic research of genes ompA, ct135 and tarP C. trachomatis strains collected from patients suffering from urogenital chlamydial infection
Abstract
The article contains results of the molecular and genetic research of genes ompA, ct135 and tarp c. trachomatis in 50 samples of clinical material containing DNA c. trachomatis from patients (women and men) from the Moscow region with the diagnosed urogenital chlamydial infection (UGCI) confirmed by PCR method. The sequencing of the gene ompA allowed to establish, that the prevailing serovar c. trachomatis in the examined selection of UGCI patients was serovar Е (48,0%); other serovars were less often (G — 18,0%, D — 14,0%; F and J — by 8%, К — 4%). The authors revealed authentic associations of the frequency of spreading of Е serovar with non-complicated clinical course of UGCI and the association of the frequency of spreading concerning rare serovars c. trachomatis (G, D, J) — with complications of UGCI in women. Significant mutations of the gene ompА in rare c. trachomatis serovars, аs well as significant mutations of genes ct135 and tarр were revealed more often is samples from women with PID. The obtained data are sufficient to make a conclusion about the possible existing relation between peculiarities of c. trachomatis genotype and the character of the clinical course of the urogenital clamidiosis.

Abstract
The article covers modern concepts of the influence of calcineurin inhibitors on formation and liberation inflammatory cytokines and their immunomodulating ability. Goal: to estimate efficiency and bearableness of 0,1 % Tacrolimus ointment (Protopik) at treatment of atopic dermatitis of moderate severity and eczema of hands as supporting therapy, and also influence of a preparation on microcirculation in skin. Materials and methods. In research took part 35 patients having atopic dermatitis (ATD) of moderate severity. The preparation Protopik (0,1% ointment) was used externally by daily thin layer on well cleared skin 2 times a day before clinical improvement, but not less than 2 weeks. Further, at achievement of clinical remission, it was recommended to use a preparation 2 times a week on the sites of skin which are usually struck at aggravations. In other days it was recommended to patients to use a relipidant. To patients with atopic dermatitis before the beginning of treatment and in 1 month from the beginning of application of a preparation by means of Doppler monitoring research microcirculation level in skin (volume speed of a blood-groove) was estimated. Results. High activity of a preparation as means of long supporting therapy is shown. Continuous application of a preparation within 2 weeks allows to reach in most cases almost complete remission. According to Doppler monitoring research, microcirculation in skin at patients with ATD after external application of 0,1% Tacrolimus ointment (Protopik) amplified that it is possible to explain decrease in an infiltration in a dermis. Use of a preparation differs sufficient comfort, and individual complaints to local irritation in the area where the ointment was applied were transient by nature.
