The state of lipid peroxidation and the oxidative modification of proteins in the blood of 29 women with chronic endometritis aged 27 to 40 years were studied. The control group consisted of 19 healthy women aged 27 to 44 years. The intensity of lipid peroxidation was estimated by the level of diene conjugates and malondialdehyde, the oxidative modification of proteins - by the level of carbonyl derivatives. It was shown that in the blood of women with chronic endometritis, the concentration of aliphatic aldehyde groups and 1,9 times the carbonyl groups in protein molecules increases by 3,3 times compared with the control group. A significant increase in diene conjugates by 34% and malondialdehyde in blood plasma and red blood cells by 47 and 43%, respectively, was established. The increase in lipid peroxidation products and oxidative protein modification in the blood indicates the development of oxidative stress in women suffering from chronic endometritis. Compared with healthy patients with chronic endometritis, a convincing tendency toward an increase in prolactin and anti- Muller hormone against a decrease in progesterone was revealed in the group compared to healthy ones. To predict possible complications in patients with chronic endometritis, it is advisable to study the indicators of protein and lipid peroxidation as markers of oxidative stress and the severity of the inflammatory process. In addition, such patients should be advised to take antioxidant drugs in combination with the basic therapy.

Abstract At the present time, available views show our limited knowledge of the peculiarities of the functional status of neutrophils and their metabolism in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The studying of changes of metabolic status of neutrophils can broaden our views about pneumonia pathogenesis and define datum points of therapeutic effect. Purpose of our research: to define oxidative stress activity and the level of oxidative modification of proteins of neutrophils in CAP patients. Materials and methods: neutrophils obtained from 23 patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Control group consisting of 19 healthy volunteers. The reactive carbonyl derivatives of proteins and advanced oxidation protein products were defined so as to assess the oxidative damage of proteins. The malondialdehyde and nitrite ions were assessed as being indicators of the oxidative stress. The neutrophils of CAP patients with moderate severity were characterized by a tendency of evidencing decreasing content of advanced oxidation protein products, along with the statistically important enhanced levels of carbonyl derivatives and nitrite ions, while their malondialdehyde status practically leveled off with the control and had only an insignificant trend towards growth. We have demonstrated the accumulation of carbonyl derivatives and nitrite ions in the peripheral neutrophils of CAP patients. These results give evidence of an oxidative misbalance in the cells which contributes to the aggravation of the disease.

New Markers of Oxidative Damage to Macromolecules The presence of free radicals in biological material has been discovered some 50 years ago. In physiological conditions, free radicals, in the first place the ones of oxygen and nitrogen, are continuously synthesized and involved in the regulation of a series of physiological processes. The excess of free radicals is efficiently eliminated from the body in order to prevent their toxic effects. Toxic effects of free radicals may be classified into three groups: a) change of intracellular redox potential, b) oxidative modification of lipids, proteins and DNA, and c) gene activation. Lipid peroxidation involving cell membranes, lipoproteins and other molecules leads to the production of primary high-reactive intermediaries (alkyl radicals, conjugated dienes, peroxy- and alkoxyl radicals and lipid hydroperoxide), whose further breakdown generates the secondary products of lipid peroxidation: short-chain evaporable hydrocarbons, aldehydes and final products of lipid peroxidation: isoprostanes, MDA, 4-hydroxy-2, 3-transnonenal and 4,5-dihydroxydecenal which are important mediators of atherosclerosis, coronary disease, acute myocardial infarction, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis and lupus erythematodes. Oxidative modification of proteins is manifested by changes in their primary, secondary and tertiary structures. Proteins have a specific biological function, and therefore their modification results in unique functional consequences. The nature of protein modification may provide valid information on the type of oxidants causing the damage. Chlorotyrosyl is a specific marker of oxidative damage to tyrosine caused by HOCl action, which most commonly reflects the involvement of neutrophils and monocytes in oxidative stress, while nitrotyrosyl indicates the presence of higher peroxy-nitrite synthesis. Methyonin and cysteine are the amino acids most sensitive to oxidative stress, carbonyl groups are markers of severe damage caused by free radicals, and di-tyrosyl is the most significant and sensitive marker of oxidative modification made by γ rays. >Carbonyl stress< is an important form of the secondary oxidation of proteins, where reducing sugars non-enzymatically react with amino groups of proteins and lipids and give rise to the production of covalent compounds known as advanced glycosylated end products (AGE-products). A hydroxyl radical damages the DNA, leading to a loss of base and the formation of abasic sites (AP sites), break of DNA chain and sugar modification. Final lipid peroxidation products (MDA) may covalently bind to DNA, producing the >DNA radicals< which are responsible for mutations. Measurement of an adequate oxidative stress biomarker may not only point to an early onset of disease, its progression and assessment of therapy effectiveness, but can also help in the clarification of the pathophysiological mechanisms of tissue damage caused by oxidative stress, prediction of disease prognosis and choice of appropriate treatment in the early stages of disease.

Aim. To study the role of oxidative protein modification of bone tissue proteins in the formation of destruction of temporal bone structures in chronic otitis media. Methods. The study included 139 patients aged 16-75 years with a verified diagnosis of chronic otitis media, who are candidates for surgical treatment. Depending on the method of surgical treatment, patients are divided into four groups (by nosology and complications and reoperations): patients with tubotympanic otitis media and epitympanic antral otitis, without complications and with local or intracranial complications, after reconstructive sanitizing ear surgery. The state of the processes of oxidative modification of proteins was evaluated in the bone tissue of the middle ear cavities, obtained intraoperatively, by the content of carbonyl products with the use of spectrophotometry. The data were processed by descriptive statistics and were presented in the form of a median and a range between quartiles with an estimate of the reliability of the intergroup differences by the Mann-Whitney U-criterion. Results. A comparison of the indicators characterizing the oxidative modification of bone tissue proteins of the temporal bone in patients with complicated and recurrent forms of chronic otitis media demonstrates a greater degree of free radical destruction of proteins, primarily markers of early stages of protein damage and an increase of aldehyde products, both at the basal level and in response to induction in a complicated course of the disease. Conclusion. The obtained data allow drawing a conclusion about a high level of oxidative stress in bone tissue in destructive forms of chronic otitis media accompanied by relapses and complications, and about the perspectives of antioxidant pre-operative use taking into account the features of oxidative stress in bone tissue in patients with chronic otitis media.

Ixodic tick-borne borreliosis occupies a leading place among natural focal vector-borne infections in the Chelyabinsk region, and tick-borne encephalitis is less common. In the pathogenesis of the vast majority of diseases known to date, non-specific pathochemical processes are of the greatest importance. One of the most significant metabolic processes of this kind is free radical oxidation. Objective: to study the etiological structure and clinical features of tick-borne encephalitis and ixodic tick-borne borreliosis in comparison with the characteristics of the manifestations of oxidative stress in various clinical forms of tick-borne infections in the endemic region (for example, the Chelyabinsk region). Methods: Clinical studies were conducted on the basis of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the city Center of Neuroinfections, the 1st and 4th infectious departments of the MAUZ OZP GKB No. 8 in Chelyabinsk. The diagnosis of CE, ICB was established after a comprehensive clinical and laboratory study. The content of carbonyl products of oxidative modification of proteins was evaluated by their reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH). In determining the content of primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation, a method based on the phenomenon of rearrangement of double bonds into diene conjugates was used. Conclusions: The leading place among natural-focal vector-borne infections in the Chelyabinsk region is occupied by ICB, and CE is less common. The revealed changes in the study of oxidative stress in patients with CE and ICB not only indicate the prospects for developing new approaches to the pathogenetic therapy of tick-borne infections, involving the use of antioxidants in complex therapy, but also suggest a greater effectiveness of direct-acting lipophilic antioxidants that limit diene conjugation, and thereby prevent the accumulation of secondary cytotoxic products of lipid peroxidation.

Abstract Background Specific metabolic changes during physiological pregnancy are characterized by hyperlipidemia and increased oxidative stress. However, these specific changes raise the question of their pro-atherogenic potential during pregnancy and their influence on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women later in life, as well as complications during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in lipid indexes and parameters of lipid peroxidation in non-complicated pregnancy in order to estimate their course of change and potential relationship during non-complicated pregnancy. Methods The study included 43 healthy pregnant women and 38 non-pregnant healthy women, in appropriate ages, as the control group. Lipid parameters and oxidative stress parameters were monitored in a longitudinal study in the first, second and third trimesters, and before delivery during non-complicated pregnancy. Results Results have shown that lipid indexes rise during pregnancy. The values were significantly increased when compared to the first trimester in all lipid indices and in comparison with the control group. Thyobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) were not changed significantly during physiological pregnancy, but LOOH showed a significantly higher value in the first trimester compared with the control group. Prooxidative-antioxidative balance (PAB) significantly increases as pregnancy progresses. Conclusions We observed the changes in lipids, lipid indexes and parameters that indicate oxidative modification of lipids in physiological pregnancy that may lead to an atherogenic, prooxidant state.

Abstract The aim of this paper was to evaluate the oxidative modification of proteins and limited proteolysis in the hepatocytes of patients with resistant forms of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Material and method: This is a prospective pathomorphological study of 60 patients with confirmed pulmonary TB (clinically and anatomopathologically) deaths from various causes. To evaluate the intensity of free radical processes in hepatocytes, we used a methodology developed by Davydenko IS, 2003. Histological sections were stained with bromphenol blue by Michel-Calvo. Results: When comparing the digital data indicated in our study, it is evident that changes in proteins properties in average tendencies run virtually identically in the hepatocytes of different zones of the comparison group. Thus, the difference is unlikely (p > 0.05) when comparing red/blue ratio (specific staining of acid and basic proteins by Michel-Calvo) in the hepatocytes of zones I, II and III of the comparison group. A similar trend is observed in the analysis of average values of the optical density of a specific colouration on the free amino group of proteins by A. Yasuma and T. Ichikava. The analysis of all parameters showed a linear increase in the intensity of oxidative protein modification and limited proteolysis from zone I to III (from the periportal to the centrolobular parts of the acinus) in all subgroups of the main group according to the acinus zone (by Rappoport). Conclusions: Pulmonary TB leads to increased processes of free radical oxidation of proteins with characteristic effects – increased proteolysis and oxidation of amino groups of proteins – in the hepatocytes of the liver.

AbstractOur interest has focused on the investigation of the anti-obese potential of kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract. In the course of the study, obesity development in rats was induced with high-calorie diet. Control and obese rats then have consumed with aqueous kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract during 6 weeks (200 mg/kg). Results show that the long-term consumption of P. vulgaris pods extract can lead to the reduction of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance development. Furthermore, we saw a normalization of lipid peroxidation parameters and oxidative modification of protein due to the consumption of the kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract. Our experimental data demonstrate the ability of the kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pod extracts to mitigate obesity development but the details of this mechanism remains to be not fully understood.

Resistance of erythrocytes from Brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) affected by ulcerative dermal necrosis syndrome In the present work we evaluated the effect of ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN) syndrome on resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents and lipid peroxidation level in the blood from brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.). Results showed that lipid peroxidation increased in erythrocytes, as evidenced by high thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. Compared to control group, the resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents was significantly lower in UDN-positive fish. Besides, UDN increased the percent of hemolysated erythrocytes subjected to the hydrochloric acid, urea and hydrogen peroxide. Results showed that UDN led to an oxidative stress in erythrocytes able to induce enhanced lipid peroxidation level, as suggested by TBARS level and decrease of erythrocytes resistance to haemolytic agents.

The results of the study about the nature of oxygen-dependent processes in rats that were on a high-fructose diet for 8 weeks under conditions of adequate iodine supply and congenital iodine deprivation is presented in the article. The significant activation of peroxide oxidation of proteins (by increasing the aldo- and keto-derivates of a neutral nature) and lipids (increased of diene conjugates content and products, that are responsible to thiobarbituric acid) of animals with insulin resistance was found. An aggravating factor in the course of these processes is a congenital iodine deficiency. The changes of oxidative modification of proteins in animals with congenital iodine deficiency had multidirectional character, and processes of lipid peroxidation mainly increased. The most pronounced changes of the studied processes were observed in the liver and pancreas of animals with insulin resistance against the background of congenital iodine deficiency.

AbstractThe aim of our study was to elucidate the effects of both development stages (parr, smolt, adult, spawner), and kelt as a survival form and sex (male, female) on the functional stability of the lysosomal complex, biomarkers of oxidative stress, and element contents in the muscle tissue of the sea trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) sampled in the Pomerania region (northern Poland). We have evaluated the maximal activities of lysosomal enzymes (alanyl aminopeptidase, leucyl aminopeptidase, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, and acid phosphatase), lipid peroxidation level, and protein carbonyl derivatives as indices of muscle tissue degradation. The relationship between lysosomal activity and oxidative stress biomarkers estimated by the lipid peroxidation level and protein carbonyl derivatives was also assessed, as well as the relationships between element levels and oxidative stress biomarkers. Trends of the main effects (i.e., the development stages and sex alone, the interaction of the sex and development stage simultaneously) on oxidative stress biomarkers, lysosomal functioning, and element contents in the muscle tissue were evaluated. The study has shown sex-related relationships between the pro- and antioxidant balance and the tissue type in the adult stage as well as modifications in the lysosomal functioning induced by long-term environmental stress associated with changing the habitats from freshwater to seawater and intense migrations. The highest level of toxic products generated in oxidative reactions and oxidative modification of proteins was noted in both the spawner stage and the kelt form. The holistic model of analysis of all parameters of antioxidant defense in all development stages and sex demonstrated the following dependencies for the level of lipid peroxidation, oxidative modification of proteins, lysosomal activities, and element contents: TBARS > OMP KD > OMP AD > TAC, AcP > NAG > LAP > AAP and Cu > Fe > Ca > Mn > Zn > Mg, respectively.
