Aim. To compare kidney disease markers: glomerular filtration rate (GFR), calculated upon creatinine and cystatin C, urinary cystatin C, collagen type IV and albumin in type 2 diabetic patients with normal and moderately reduced renal function. Materials and methods. 56 patients, aged 43?70 years, and 16 healthy controls, aged 40-72 years, were included in the study. GFR was calculated by equations based on creatinine (CKD-EPIcreat), cystatin C (CKD-EPIcys) or both markers (CKD-EPIcreat-cys). Serum and urinary cystatin C was measured by immunoturbidimetric method, urinary albumin, albumin excretion rate (AER) and collagen type IV excretion was determined by ELISA. The body composition was investigated in 24 patients by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. In diabetic patients serum cystatin C level correlated positively with age (r=0.37), GFR calculated by CKD-EPIcreat (r=-0.43) and fat mass percentage (r=0.55). There was a positive correlation between GFR calculated by the CKD-EPIcys and GFR by CKD-EPIcreat (r=0.48). In multiple regression analysis the percentage of body fat influenced the GFR calculated by CKD-EPIcys or CKD-EPIcreat-cys. No correlation between urinary cystatin C and serum cystatin C level, GFR and AER was found. Collagen type IV excretion was increased in patients with decreased GFR, compared to those with normal GFR (p=0.002). Urinary collagen type IV correlated with both GFR and AER (r=-0.28 and r=0.47). Conclusion. The measurement of serum cystatin C with calculation of GFR by CKD-EPIcys and CKD-EPIcreat-cys, in addition to the CKD-EPIcreat, increases the accuracy of CKD diagnostics in type 2 diabetic patients. However, obesity and particularly body fat mass affect the results of estimation of GFR based on cystatin C. The increase in urinary collagen type IV, but not in cystatin C excretion, is related to GFR decline and AER elevation in these patients.

✓ Type IV collagen is a major protein component of the vascular basement membrane and its degradation is crucial to the initiation of tumor-associated angiogenesis. The authors have investigated the influence of cell density on the release of collagen type IV degrading activity by C6 astrocytoma cells in monolayer culture. The release of collagen type IV degrading activity was assessed biochemically, immunocytochemically, and by Western blot analysis. The results demonstrate that increasing plating density and increasing cell density are associated with decreased collagen type IV degrading activity released per tumor cell. These findings indicate the existence of regulatory mechanisms dependent on cell—cell communication, which modulate release of collagen type IV degrading activity. The extrapolation of these results to the in vivo tumor microenvironment would suggest that individual and/or small groups of invading tumor cells, distant from the main tumor mass, would release substantial collagen type IV degrading activity, which may be crucial to their continued invasion and to angiogenesis.

The aim: To study peculiarities of morphological and immunohistochemical changes of stomach’s mucosa in eosinophilic gastritis in children Materials and methods: 64.1±6.0% patients with eosinophilic gastritis and 35.9±6.0% patients with lymphocytic gastritis participated in our investigation. In order to verify the diagnosis morphological and immunohistochemical diagnostics of the stomach’s mucosa was performed in all children. To assess morphological changes in tissues the specimens were colored with hematoxylin, eosin and picrofuchsin by van Gieson’s. Indirect streptavidin-peroxydase staining method was used for immunohistochemical investigation and the following indexes were assessed: proliferating cell nuclear antigen – PCNA, Bcl – 2, Вax, Collagen Type ІV, TGFβ and NF-κβ. Results: Comparative analysis of morphologic investigation has demonstrated that eosinophilic gastritis is characterized by fibrosis and fibroblasts proliferation into basal and superficial parts of mucosa’s lamina propria, multiple hemorrhages, thrombosis and erosions on the background of eosinophilic infiltration. Immunohistochemical indexes of cellular restoration in eosinophilic gastritis are characterized by increased proliferative activity and decreased indexes of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic activity. Prevalence of the reaction with the use of monoclonal antibodies to Collagen Type IV in majority of children with eosinophilic gastritis was characterized by separate fragmented foci in basal membranes of superficial epithelium. Remarkable TGFβ immune coloration was detected in majority of children on the background of fibrosis and eosinophilic infiltration of lamina propria. NF-κβ expression in epitheliocytes’ cytoplasm and nuclei was uneven. Homogenous remarkable coloration was detected in majority of patients with lymphocytic infiltration of mucosa. Conclusions: Eosinophilic gastritis course in children is characterized by remarkable inflammation, decreased regeneration of the mucosa, impairment of cellular restoration which is prognostic index of fibrous remodeling development.
