Opis:
Acromegaly is a rare disease, caused by growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion and secondarily elevated insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) level. Nearly all patients with acromegaly suffer from somatotroph pituitary adenoma. The main goal of treatment is to normalise both GH and IGF-1 levels, which reduces symptoms, complications and mortality. Transsphenoidal selective adenomectomy performed by an experienced neurosurgeon is the first-line therapy. Therapy with somatostatin analogues (SSA) is used as a neoadjuvant treatment prior to surgery and in a persistent disease following the surgery. The long-acting somatostatin analogues reduce serum GH/IGF-1 levels and tumour volume. In this clinical review, mechanisms and role of 1st and 2nd generation somatostatin analogues in the treatment of patients with acromegaly are presented, with particular emphasis on the effects on somatotroph pituitary adenoma volume reduction.

Opis:
Integrins are the major receptors within the extracellular matrix (ECM) that mediate several functions connected with cell life and metabolism, such as cell adhesion, migration, cytoskeletal organization, proliferation, survival, and differentiation. A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important angiogenic factors. It has been suggested that the expression of this gene may play crucial physiological roles in reproductive organs. All investigated endometrial tissues were isolated on day 10-12 after mating. Control bitches, used in this study, were in metestrus, which was determined according to the vaginal cytology and progesterone level in blood. Early pregnancy was verified by flushing the uterine horns with PBS. Total RNA was isolated from the bitches endometrium by means of the Chomczyński and Sacchi method, treated by DNase I, and reverse-transcribed into cDNA. A quantitative analysis of integrins α2b, β2 and β3, VEGF 164, 182 and 188 cDNA was performed by RT-PCR. In results we have shown an increased expression of all investigated genes (integrins α2b, β2 and β3, VEGF 164, 182, and 188) in pregnant bitches uterus as compared to non-pregnant females (P<0.001). Our results indicated that the expression of genes encoding integrins and vascular endothelial growth factors is different in relation to the time of the embryo implantation and it is increased in the first period of this process. This may be associated with the induction of specific mechanisms responsible for receptivity of uterus following the embryo attachment. In addition, all of investigated genes are up-regulated in a pregnancy-specific manner and the increased expression of these genes may regulate the uterus function during the implantation of canine embryos.

Opis:
Purpose: The aim of the proposed research is to create a calculation model of surface fatigue crack growth at the axle of railway wheelset working under operational loads. Design/methodology/approach: The energy approach of the fracture mechanics was used to formulate the calculation model of fatigue crack propagation at the wheelset axle surface. The method of least squares was used to determine the investigated material mechanical constants that the kinetic equations of the calculation model contain. The system of differential equations of crack growth kinetics was solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method. Findings: On the basis of the energy approach of the fracture mechanics the calculation model of fatigue macrocrack growth in three-dimensional elastic-plastic body in case of a mixed-mode I+II+III macromechanism of fracture has been built. On the basis of the created calculation model, the kinetics of the growth of fatigue cracks was investigated both in the middle part of the wheelset axle and in the axle journal. Research limitations/implications: The results obtained on laboratory specimens should be tested during a real railway wheelset axle investigation. Practical implications: The created calculation model can be used in practice to formulate method of residual lifetime estimation of railway wheelset axle. Originality/value: It was shown, that surface crack kinetics depends not only on the crack initial area but also significantly depends on the crack edge geometry and comparatively small crack-like defects at the wheelset axle surface can reach critical sizes in comparatively short run. It has been found that mechanical shear stresses caused by the weight of the loaded railway wagon in the cross section of the wheelset axle journal can significantly accelerate the growth of the transverse fatigue crack at the axle surface, reducing the period of crack subcritical growth by about 20%.

Opis:
Alcohol abuse is one of the most significant factors in the development of liver fibrosis. The pathomechanism of liver fibrosis is the same regardless of its etiology. Fibrosis is a sign of an imbalance between the synthesis of the extracellular matrix components and their degradation. Among the many cytokines that affect hepatic stellate cell activation it seems that transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is the most significant, either as the direct factor stimulating polymerase chain reaction (HSC) proliferation and transformation into myofibroblasts, or as the direct factor causing an increase in the activity of genes responsible for the synthesis of extracellular matrix components. The aim of the study was to reveal possible dependencies and differences between the presence of certain alleles of the TGF-β1 gene and its blood level in the study and control group. Blood samples were obtained from 39 patients, the control group consisted of 21 patients. The results obtained in the course of this study showed no statistically significant differences between the frequencies of particular polymorphisms. In the case of haplotype frequencies, insignificant differences were found for the algorithm Excoffier-Laval-Balding predicted haplotypes while one significant difference between the study and control groups was detected in case of the TC haplotype frequency predicted using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. However, the difference in frequency of TC haplotype predicted by both algorithms was not significant. Genetic analysis of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon I of the TGF-β1 gene did not show significant differences between the occurrence of particular polymorphisms and haplotypes in the populations under study.

Opis:
PURPOSE: Anti-VEGF therapy plays a great role in medicine, especially in opthalmology. The aim of the therapy is to inhibit the VEGF-A factors that are responsible for the angiogenesis in diseases such as the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). One of the monoclonal anti-VEGF antibodies is bevacizumab (Avastin®; Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA). The aim of the study was to compare the subjective estimation of visual acuity with objective test results in patients undergoing anti-VEGF therapy using Avastin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors report a study of 57 patients (37 females and 20 males) with exudative AMD whose near and distance visual acuity was examined before the first dose of Avastin and 1 month after the third injection. Additionally, an original questionnaire evaluating the subjective state of vision during the activities of daily routine was performed. RESULTS: When examining distance visual acuity, 29 patients made an improvement, deterioration was reported in 5 cases and in 23 cases the results remained unaltered. The results were correlated with the subjective estimation. CONCLUSIONS 1. Avastin stabilizes the degeneration process of AMD in most patients and sometimes improves visual acuity. 2. There is a positive correlation between the objective test results and subjective opinion in patients undergoing anti-VEGF therapy using Avastin.
WSTĘP: Terapia anti-VEGF odgrywa niezwykle istotną rolę w medycynie, zwłaszcza w okulistyce. Polega na hamowaniu czynnika VEGF-A, który jest odpowiedzialny za angiogenezę w takich chorobach, jak wysiękowa postać zwyrodnienia plamki związanego z wiekiem (age-related macular degeneration – AMD). Jednym z przeciwciał monoklonalnych skierowanych przeciwko VEGF jest bevacizumab (Avastin®; Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA). Celem badania jest porównanie subiektywnej oceny widzenia z obiektywnymi wynikami badań u pacjentów poddanych terapii anty-VEGF z zastosowaniem Avastinu. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Badaniem objęto 57 pacjentów (37 kobiet 20 mężczyzn) z wysiękową postacią AMD, u których dokonano oceny ostrości wzorku do bliży i dali przed pierwszą dawką i miesiąc po trzeciej iniekcji doszklistkowej Avastinu. Dodatkowo przeprowadzono autorską ankietą oceniającą widzenie podczas wykonywania czynności życia codziennego. WYNIKI: Analizując wyniki ostrości wzroku dla dali 29 pacjentów wykazało poprawę, 5 pogorszenie widzenia, a w 23 przypadkach ostrość wzroku nie uległa zmianie. Wykazano dodatnią korelację powyższych danych z wynikami subiektywnej oceny. WNIOSKI: 1. Avastin stabilizuje proces chorobowy w wysiękowej postaci AMD, a u niektórych pacjentów obserwowana jest poprawa ostrości widzenia. 2. Istnieje dodatnia korelacja między obiektywnymi wynikami ostrości wzroku a subiektywną oceną widzenia u pacjentów poddanych terapii anty-VEGF z zastosowaniem Avastinu.

Opis:
Pre-eclampsia, the most common pregnancy associated syndrome, is connected with remodelling of extracellular matrix of the umbilical cord tissues. Since the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is known to be a stimulator of collagen and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, one may expect that it plays an important role in such a remodelling. Studies performed on the umbilical cords of 10 control and 10 pre-eclamptic newborns demonstrated that both the umbilical cord arterial wall and Wharton's jelly contain FGF mainly in complexes with the components of different molecular mass. Pre-eclampsia is associated with a decrease of endogenous FGF-binding by soluble high molecular mass components of the umbilical cord. It is suggested that FGF released from these complexes may be actively bound by fibroblasts of the umbilical cord, stimulating them to produce collagen and sulphated glycosaminoglycans.

Opis:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas which is generated by heme oxygenase enzymes (HOs). HOs degrade heme releasing equimolar amounts of CO, iron and biliverdin, which is subsequently reduced to bilirubin. CO shares many properties with nitric oxide (NO), an established cellular messenger. Both CO and NO are involved in neural transmission and modulation of blood vessel function, including their relaxation and inhibition of platelet aggregation. CO, like NO, binds to heme proteins, although CO binds only ferrous (FeII) heme, whereas NO binds both ferrous and ferric (FeIII). CO enhances the activity of guanylate cyclase although it is less potent than NO. In contrast, CO inhibits other heme proteins, such as catalase or cytochrome P450. The effects of CO on gene expression can be thus varied, depending on the cellular microenvironment and the metabolic pathway being influenced. In this review the regulation of gene expression by HO/CO in the cardiovascular system is discussed. Recent data, derived also from our studies, indicate that HO/CO are significant modulators of inflammatory reactions, influencing the underlying processes such as cell proliferation and production of cytokines and growth factors.

Opis:
Immunotherapy supports other therapeutic methods and is an important element in the fight against cancer. Its main tasks include stimulation and guidance of the immune system to fight cancer, inhibition of the mechanisms that block the immune system, and direct destruction of neoplastic cells. Different from chemotherapy or hormonal therapy, its mechanism of action is associated with a different profile of adverse events. HER2 receptor inhibitors may cause symptoms of heart failure, which usually recede, once the treatment has been discontinued. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody, induces numerous cardiovascular complications, including arterial hypertension, arterial embolism, haemorrhage and haemoptysis as well as venous thromboembolism.

Opis:
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is a cytokine affecting cell proliferation and development, which also has an immunomodulatory activity. Correlations between polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene and clinical parameters of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were reported previously in adults. Here, we tested whether such correlations occur in pediatric patients suffering from IBD. One hundred and four pediatric IBD patients were involved in this study. Among them, 36 were diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (CD) and 68 were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC). The control group consisted of 103 children, in which IBD was excluded. TGF-β1 levels were determined in plasma and intestinal mucosa samples. The presence of the TGF β1 protein and the amount of TGF β1 mRNA were estimated in intestinal mucosa by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription Real-Time PCR, respectively. Four common polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene were investigated: -800G/A, -509C/T, 869T/C and 915G/C. No significant correlation between TGF-β1 genotypes and (i) TGF-β1 levels in plasma and tissue samples, (ii) TGF-β1 gene expression efficiency in intestinal mucosa, (iii) IBD clinical parameters and (iv) inflammatory activity could be detected in children suffering from IBD. We conclude that, contrary to previous suggestions, the four common polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene do not influence the susceptibility to or clinical parameters of IBD in the tested population of children.

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.

Opis:
Based on the 3D conformation of the N-terminus of TMOF in solution, six aromatic derivatives of enoic acid: 7-biphenyl-4-yl-hept-4-enoic acid (BPHE), 7-(4-butyl-phenyl)-hept-4-enoic acid (BuPHE), 7-cyclohexyl-hept-4-enoic acid (CyHE), 10-phenyl-dec-7-enoic acid (PDE), 7-p-tolyl-hept-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (THEEE) and 7-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-hept-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (MPEEE) were computer-modeled and synthesized. Treating first instar Aedes aegypti larvae with different concentrations of the TMOF mimics showed that addition of butyl to the benzyl ring, use of p-tolyl or converting the benzyl ring into cyclohexane increased the biological activity of the mimics by 5.2, 5.0 and 3.8-fold, respectively. Esterifying the carboxyl terminus into ethyl ester and addition of a methoxy group to the benzyl ring also increased, by 2-fold, the biological activity of the derivative. The position of the double bond in the aliphatic chain is important for enhanced biological activity. Aea-TMOF and CyHE fed to mosquito larvae equally inhibited trypsin biosynthesis in larvae for the first 24 h. The biological activity of CyHE, however, rapidly declined 2-3 days later, whereas TMOF activity stayed stable. These results indicate that TMOF organic mimics, although potent, need to be formulated in order to be more stable for future field applications.

Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, że wykonanie dekompozycji przyrostu wartości dodanej brutto w czterech wariantach umożliwia pogłębienie obserwacji procesów zachodzących w gospodarce. Warianty te uzyskano na podstawie dwóch zasadniczych dychotomii. Pierwsza dotyczyła dekompozycji na kontrybucje wynagrodzeń czynników produkcji z jednej strony oraz na kontrybucje zasobów czynników produkcji i ich produktywności (total factor productivity – TFP) z drugiej strony. Druga polegała na wykonaniu dekompozycji równolegle dla zatrudnionych oraz dla pracujących. Opracowana metodologia umożliwiła dokonanie obliczeń dla lat 2001–2015 na poziomie zagregowanym według sekcji PKD, województw oraz jednocześnie sekcji i województw. Przeprowadzono je na podstawie danych z Banku Danych Lokalnych i rachunków narodowych GUS. Wyniki potwierdzają, że wykonanie dekompozycji według ww. dychotomii umożliwia pogłębienie analiz wzrostu gospodarczego, co jest szczególnie istotne w aspekcie regionalnym.
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that performing gross value added growth decompositions in four variants makes it possible to deepen the observation of economic processes. These variants have been obtained on the basis of two fundamental dichotomies. The first of them involved performing a decomposition of the gross value added growth into the contributions of production factor remunerations, and, in parallel, a decomposition into the contributions of production factor stocks and total factor productivity (TFP). The second dichotomy involved performing separate but parallel decompositions for employees and for employed persons. The devised methodology made it possible to perform computations for the years 2001–2015 at the aggregate level, according to NACE sections, according to voivodships and according to both the NACE sections and the voivodships. The decompositions were performed basing on Statistics Poland’s data from the Bank of Local Data and the National Accounts. The presented results confirm that performing decompositions according to the two above-mentioned dichotomies makes it possible to deepen the analyses of the economic growth, which is especially important in the regional aspect.

Opis:
Several years ago, the presence of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment was thought to be an inflammatory response to kill the cancer cells. Now, this is clear that the inflammatory cells that exit blood vessels and migrate to the tumor tissue play an important role in cancer progression. Various cells present in the tumor microenvironment enhance cancer growth and invasiveness by secretion of tumor-enhancing products. That is why tumors should not be treated as only aggregates of cancer cells but as separate structures. Macrophages form a major component of the inflammatory infiltration in tumors, where they are termed tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). To the best of our knowledge, up-to-date there were no studies on tumor associated macrophages and the role of the tumor microenvironment in tumor invasion/metastasis in dogs. This is the first study performed to asses if the number of TAMs and expression of MCSF-R (macrophages colony stimulating factor receptor) and CD14 (LPS co-receptor) are associated with the grade of tumor malignancy and its ability to metastasize. We have performed immunohistochemical analysis of 50 canine mammary adenocarcinomas of various grade of malignancy (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and tumors that gave local or distant metastases. The results indicate that in dogs, similarly to humans and mice, the number of tumor associated macrophages is related to the cancer ability to metastasize. Our results also indicate that the expression of MCSF-R and, what is particularly new finding, CD14 is associated with tumor malignancy and its ability to metastasize. Hence, these molecules play a role in tumor progression, metastasis and microenvironment interactions. These results show that in dogs we should treat the tumor as a whole organ rather than just try to eliminate the cancer cells.

Opis:
Both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF) play an important physiological role in the processes of proliferation and differentiation of several different cell types. However, the expression profiles of these factors in domestic bitches endometrium are still poorly recognized. The aim of the present study was to identify and analyze the differential expression of these factors in various stages of the estrus cycle. Endometrial tissue from proestrus (n=17), estrus (n=10), day 10 diestrus (n=15), day 35 diestrus (n=18) and anestrus (n=25) was collected soon after ovariohysterectomy. Total RNA was isolated from the endometrium by means of Chomczyński and Sacchi method, treated by DNase I, and reverse- transcribed into cDNA. Quantitative analysis of EGF, TGFβ1, TGFβ2, and TGFβ3 cDNA was performed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). EGF expression in canine endometrium was increased in the estrus stage as compared to proestrus (P<0.05), day 10 diestrus (P<0.05), day 35 diestrus (P<0.01) and anestrus (P<0.001). We also found the differences in EGF expression between day 10 and day 35 of estrus as well as between day 35 of estrus with anestrus (P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively). The TGFf1 transcript contents were also higher in estrus as compared to other stages (P<0.01). The TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 in the estrus stage was increased compared to proestrus, day 10 diestrus, day 35 diestrus and anestrus (P<0.05). We proved that expression of EGF and TGFβ transcript isoforms is related to the phase of estrus in bitches and therefore may be regulated by specific hormone concentrations during these periods. Our results confirm the hypothesis that these growth factors play a role in the regulation of biochemical changes in the endometrial tissues during the estrus cycle.

Opis:
The trophic effect of continuous intraventricular infusion of nerve growth factor (NGF) on morphology of the basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons was tested in 4- and 28-month-old male Wistar rats. All studies were conducted using behaviorally uncharacterized animals from the same breeding colony. Immunohistochemical procedure for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and p75NTR receptor has been applied to identify cholinergic cells in the structures of basal forebrain (BF). Using a quantitative image analyzer, morphometric and densitometric parameters of ChAT- and p75NTR-positive cells were measured immediately after cessation of NGF infusion. In 28-month-old non-treated rats the number of intensively ChAT-positive cells in all forebrain structures was reduced by 50-70% as compared with young animals. The remaining ChAT-positive cells appeared shrunken and the neuropil staining was markedly reduced. In contrast, the same neurons when stained for p75NTR were numerous and distinctly visible with perfect morphology. Analysis of Nissl stained sections also showed that 28-month-old rats did not display significant losses of neuronal cell bodies. NGF restored the number of intensely stained ChAT-positive cells to about 90% of that for young controls and caused a significant increase in size of those cells in 28-month-old rats as compared with the control, age-matched group. NGF did not influence the morphology of p75NTR-positive neurons, which were well labeled, irrespective of treatment and age of the rats. In 4-month-old rats, NGF infusion decreased the intensity of both ChAT and p75NTR immunostaining. These data provide some evidence for preservation of BF cholinergic neurons from atrophy during aging and indicate that senile impairment of the cholinergic system in rats concerns decrease in ChAT-protein expression rather than an acute degeneration of neuronal cell bodies. Treatment with NGF resulted in restoration of cholinergic phenotype in the BF neurons of aged rats. However, the present study also rises issue of possible detrimental effects of NGF in young normal animals.
