Aim. To study the influence of the state of endothelium on the daily profile of arterial pressure (AP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and methods. In 70 RA pts carried out C-reactive protein (CRP), vascular endothelial adhesion molecule type 1 (sVCAM-1), antigen von Willebrand Factor (AG WF), interleukin-8 (Il-8), rheumatoid factor (RF), IgG, endotheline-1 (ET-1), number of desquamated endotheliocytes cells (DE), VS, activity of renin by immunoenzyme analysis. The dysfunction of endothelium was evaluated by calculation of DE. The functional methods included the daily monitoring of arterial pressure (AP). Results. Arterial hypertension (AH) occurred in 40 (57.1%) pts. RA pts are revealed the signs of endothelial dysfunction, about which significant differences among the indices of activation of endothelium in comparison with control group testify. ET-1, sVCAM-1, vWF AG, Il-8, CRP content was higher in RA pts. Reliably above there was a number of DE. Reliable differences according to these indices depending of RA activity were discovered. With conducting of correlation analysis it is revealed, that markers of the activation of endothelium: sVCAM-1, vWF AG positively correlated with increasing RF IgG and indices of the immune inflammation: CRP, and DE number. In patients suffering from RA, showed signs of endothelial dysfunction. The positive correlation between endothelial damage and daily profile of AP show the relationship of these processes. Conclusion. Positive correlations between the damage of endothelium and disturbance of AP daily profile testify about the interrelation of these processes.

Infantile fibrosarcoma (IF) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that occurs with a frequency of 1% of all cases of malignant neoplasms in children in the first year of life. IF most often affects the soft tissues of the upper and lower extremities. Rare localizations include the trunk, the head and neck, and the gastrointestinal tract. The article describes a rare clinical case of congenital IF of soft tissues of the chest wall in a newborn, as well as a literature review.
