    Opis:
    Introduction. Liver cirrhosis is a chronic disease in which progressive fibrosis is noted. This process leads to changed architectonics of the liver parenchyma and the appearance of regenerative nodules, all of which are caused by pathological activation of the hepatic stellate cells. This process is enhanced on a molecular level by many cytokines, with platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) playing the key role. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess serum concentrations of PDGFs active biodymers (PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB) in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, and to correlate them with the stage of disease. Materials and method. 64 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and a control group of 16 healthy individuals were analysed. Liver cirrhosis was determined based on clinical image, history of the patients’ alcohol consumption, laboratory findings and abdominal ultrasonography. The serum PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB concentrations were determined using ELISA kits. Results. Serum concentration of PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB homodimers increases in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (p=0.034 and p<0.0001, respectively), unlike the serum concentration of PDGF-AB heterodimer (p>0.05). When the stage of the disease increases, the concentrations of PDGF-AA and PGFD-BB in blood also oncrease. Furthermore, the serum level of both PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB correlates significantly with the severity of alcoholic liver cirrhosis (measured by Pugh-Child’s scale), the correlation being stronger in the case of PDGF-BB levels than PDGF-AA (R=0.28; p=0.027 and R=0.26; p=0.038, respectively). Conclusions. The plasma levels of PDGF-AA and -BB may be indicators of alcohol-induced liver fibrosis process, and might be considered as future possible treatment targets, with PDGF-BB levels being an even better indicator than PDGF-AA levels.

    Opis:
    Introduction and objective. Vitamin D deficiency is common in obesity; however, its contribution in the development of metabolic complications remains uncertain. The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between vitamin D status and metabolic complications. Materials and method. The results of blood pressure measurements, biochemical tests and ultrasound of the liver were compared in both groups. The study was conducted at the Children’s University Hospital in Krakow, Poland. 30 obese adolescents (mean 13.23y.o.); 18 with 25OHD levels <20ng/mL, 12 with 25OHD>20 ng/mL. Results. The vitamin D deficient group presented with significantly higher values of the diastolic blood pressure (125.9vs.115mmHg), uric acid level (384.7vs.301.5umol/L) and lower phosphorus level (1.4vs.1.65mmol/L), higher prevalence of arterial hypertension (44vs.8.3%), and liver steatosis (25vs.8.3%); lower, but not significantly, levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 and fibroblast growth factor 19. Conclusions. Hypovitaminosis D in obese adolescents is associated with higher prevalence of arterial hypertension, liver steatosis, elevated serum uric acid and low phosphorus levels. The potential contribution of the fibroblast growth factor 23 and fibroblast growth factor 19 in these complications development needs further investigation.

    Opis:
    Introduction and objective. Liver cirrhosis is a disease involving the liver parenchyma, which is characterised by fibrosis. and impaired architectonics of the parenchyma with regenerative nodules. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between stage of alcoholic liver cirrhosis, concentrations of selenium, zinc and profibrotic and proangiogenic cytokines (FGF-19, ENG). Materials and method. The study included 99 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and 20 healthy subjects. Ion chromatography with UV/VIS detection was used for determination of zinc ions in the previously mineralized serum samples. The measurements of selenium were performed with the ContrAA700 high-resolution continuum source graphite tube atomic absorption spectrometer. ELISA was used to determine concentration of FGF-19 and ENG in serum samples. Results. Concentrations of zinc and selenium were significantly decreased in cirrhotic patients (p<0.001 for both). The highest concentration of FGF-19 was found in Child-Pugh stage C liver cirrhosis patients (806.9±650.3 pg/ml), and was significantly higher than observed in controls (p=0.005) and stage A patients (compensated cirrhosis) (p=0.02). The highest concentration of ENG was demonstrated in the control group (3.24±148 ng/ml) while the lowest in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (7.32±5.39 ng/ml and 7.92±4.18 ng/ml for stage B and C; p=0.03 and p=0.02, respectively). The use of the multiple-variable model demonstrated that the independent factors affecting the concentration of ENG were the concentration of bilirubin (p=0.02), INR (p=0.01) and duration of alcohol abuse (p=0.02). The independent determinants of FGF-19 concentrations were found to be the stage (severity) of liver cirrhosis (p=0.04) and INR (p=0.03). Conclusions. Concentrations of zinc and selenium in serum of patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are not independently related to concentrations of FGF-19 and ENG.

    Opis:
    Introduction. The biological activity of VEGF depends on the presence of its specific receptors on the endothelial surface: VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and on their soluble forms sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2. The binding of the membrane-bound receptors with VEGF affects the permeability, proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells. This creates the necessary conditions for the vascularisation of solid tumours and for the spread of remote metastases. The sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 receptors are believed to be natural inhibitors of VEGF. Objective. To determine the clinical usefulness of VEGF and the sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 receptors level assay in women with primary breast cancer. The assessment also took into account: patient’s age, stage of the disease, histological grade, status of the axillary lymph nodes and size of the primary tumour. Material and methods. The concentrations of VEGF, sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 were ascertained in 103 women with primary breast cancer. The concentrations of VEGF in the plasma, and those of the soluble receptors sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 in the serum, were assessed by ELISA, R&D Systems. Results. The study found significantly raised concentrations of VEGF, sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 in the serum of women with breast cancer, relative to the values obtained from the control group. It was found that with increasing clinical stages of the disease, the levels of VEGF and concentrations of sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 also increased. Similar findings were noted when assessing the degree of the histological grade of the tumours. Significantly higher values of VEGF protein and the assessed receptors were obtained from women with metastases to the axillary lymph nodes. A positive relationship, though without statistical significance, was noted between the concentration of sVEGFR-2 and the size of the tumour. Conclusions. The high concentrations of the VEGF cytokine and the sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 receptors in women with breast cancer are responsible for giving rise to the processes of tumour angiogenesis. The concentrations of the VEGF protein and the soluble forms of the receptors sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2 in the serum of breast cancer patients showed positive correlations with the clinical stage of the disease. These results point to the usefulness of VEGF assessment and its soluble receptors in the clinical evaluation of patients with breast cancer.
