In order to find novel molecular markers of multiple sclerosis we developed a scheme of oligopeptides' isolation including their extraction from blood serum with 10 % trichloroacetic acid, followed by precipitation of soluble substances with acetone in ratio 6:1. Oligopeptides were dissolved in water and their characteristics was determined by gel filtration under HPLC conditions and thin layer chromatography. Obtained data have shown that blood serum of MS patients contains two oligopolypeptides with average molecular masses of 300-500 Da. We also studied biological activity of TCA-soluble peptides toward some eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in comparison with phosphopeptides isolated from casein hydrolysates. It was found that TCA-soluble peptides are capable of effective inhibiting HeLa cells' proliferation, while their inhibitory effect was expressed toward Jurkat T-cells and was not detectable toward U373 cells. The casein's phosphopeptides were capable to stimulate proliferation of Jurkat cells and effectively inhibited growth of cells. Neither antibacterial, nor antifungal activities of these oligopeptides were detected.
Наведені результати клінічного й нейропсихологічного обстеження 25 пацієнтів із розсіяним склерозом та їх динаміка на фоні лікування препаратом альфа-ліпоєвої кислоти. Обговорюється вплив альфа-ліпоєвої кислоти на неврологічний дефіцит, когнітивні розлади, вираженість синдрому втоми та якість життя хворих на розсіяний склероз. Зроблено висновок про доцільність використання препаратів альфа-ліпоєвої кислоти в симптоматичному лікуванні хворих на розсіяний склероз.
Headache is one of the most common complications after lumbal punction or epidural anesthesia. The article presents a clinical case of post dural puncture headache in a 26-year-old woman, 25 days long. An intracranial hypotension was confirmed by the help of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, a pituitary gland with a slightly convex upper contour and a rounded form of transverse venous sinus were found. Positive effect of rehidratation, analgesics, non-steroid anti-inflammatory and antiemetic drugs and drugs of caffeine in the treatment of post-dural puncture headache was noted.
Наведені результати клінічного й нейропсихологічного обстеження 7 пацієнтів із розсіяним склерозом та їх динаміка на фоні лікування фінголімодом. Обговорюється вплив фінголімоду на неврологічний дефіцит, когнітивні розлади, вираженість синдрому втоми та якість життя хворих на розсіяний склероз. Зроблено висновок про доцільність використання препарату патогенетичного спрямування фінголімод в лікуванні хворих на розсіяний склероз.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
