AB  - Introduction: Phenols are a large family of natural and synthetic compounds with known antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to perform in vitro screening of natural and natural-like phenol monomers and their C2-symmetric dimers (hydroxylated biphenyls) in order to identify those representatives whose pharmacophores have the strongest antioxidant and the lowest prooxidant activity. Material and methods: Antioxidative properties of 36 compounds (monomers and their C2-symmetric dimers) were evaluated in vitro. Different (red/ ox) assays were used to measure their total oxidative potential (TOP), their total antioxidative capacity (TAC), the pro-oxidative-antioxidant balance (PAB) and total SH-group content (SHG) in a biologically relevant environment. The Pro-oxidative Score, Antioxidative Score and the Oxy Score were also calculated. Trolox, a water soluble analogue of α-tocopherol, was used as a positive control. Results: In an assay consisting of pooled human serum, 6 of the 36 compounds showed significant antioxidant activity (compounds 6, 7, 12, 13, 26, and 27), whereas 4 showed extremely weak antioxidant activity (compounds 2, 29, 30, and 31). Within the 36 compounds comprising zingerone, dehydrozingerone, aurone, chalcone, and magnolol derivatives, in both monomeric and dimeric forms, the 2 compounds that indicated the highest antioxidant activity were dehydrozingerone derivatives (compounds 6 and 12). Trolox’s activity was found between the strong and weak antioxidant compounds analysed in our study. Conclusions: In this study selected dehydrozingerones were identified as good candidates for in-depth testing of their biological behaviour and for possible precursors for synthesis of novel polyphenolic molecules with potential therapeutic applications.

AB  - Background/Aim. One of the complications that can oc-
cur during pregnancy is the development of preeclampsia
(PE). The main characteristics of this condition are high
blood pressure and very often signs of kidney damage or
other organ damage. The condition affects 5–7% of all
pregnant women and is one of the main factors of maternal
and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim
of this study was to investigate the structural and functional
modifications of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles
during high-risk pregnancies (HRP) for PE development.
Methods. The longitudinal prospective study included a to-
tal of 91 pregnant women with a HRP for developing PE.
Out of this total number, 71 women did not develop PE
until delivery, and this group was designated as the group
without PE (WPE). The rest of the 20 HRP women devel-
oped PE before delivery and were designated as the PE
group. The blood was sampled toward the end of each tri-
mester and before the delivery. The distribution of HDL
particles was determined by the vertical 3–31% polyacryla-
mide gradient gel electrophoresis method. The antioxidative capacity of HDL particles was measured by the activity of
the HDL-associated enzyme – paraoxonase 1 (PON1).
PON1 activity was determined by the method of kinetic
spectrophotometry from serum samples. Results. The re-
sults have shown that the proportions of HDL 2b particles
significantly increased in the 2nd trimester (p ˂ 0.05) and
remained increased until the end of pregnancy in the WPE
group. PON1 activity was significantly higher in the 3 rd tri-
mester (p < 0.05) of the WPE group. In the PE group, we
found that the proportions of HDL 3a particles significantly
decreased in the 2 nd trimester (p < 0.05) and remained de-
creased until the end of pregnancy. PON1 activity has not
changed in the PE group during pregnancy. Conclusion.
Dyslipidemia in pregnancy could be associated with differ-
ent modifications of HDL particles. The adaptive pregnancy
mechanisms expressed as a functional modification of HDL
particles in pregnant women who develop PE seem inade-
quate and, therefore, lose their atheroprotective role.
AB  - Uvod/Cilj. Jedna od komplikacija koja se može javiti
tokom trudnoće je razvoj preeklampsije (PE). Glavne
karakteristike ovog stanja su visok krvni pritisak i vrlo često
znaci oštećenja bubrega ili drugih organa. Ovo stanje
pogađa 5–7% svih trudnica i jedan je od glavnih faktora
morbiditeta i mortaliteta trudnica i fetusa ili novorođenčadi.
Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitivanje strukturnih i funkcionalnih
modifikacija lipoproteinskih čestica visoke gustine (high-
density lipoprotein – HDL) u trudnoćama sa visokim rizikom
(TVR) za razvoj PE. Metode. U longitudinalnoj
prospektivnoj studiji učestvovala je ukupno 91 trudnica sa
TVR od razvoja PE. Od ukupnog broja trudnica, kod njih 71, PE se nije razvila do kraja trudnoće i ova grupa je
označena kao grupa bez PE (BPE). Kod preostalih 20 žena
sa TVR se razvila PE do porođaja, i one su svrstane u grupu
PE. Krv je uzimana za analizu na kraju svakog trimestra i
pred porođaj. Raspodela HDL čestica je određivana
metodom vertikalne elektroforeze u 3–31% gradijentu
poliakrilamidnog gela. Antioksidativni kapacitet HDL
čestica je određivan na osnovu aktivnosti enzima
paraoksonaze 1 (PON1) vezanog za HDL. Aktivnost
PON1 u serumu je određivana metodom kinetičke
spektrofotometrije. Rezultati. Rezultati su pokazali da se
udeo HDL 2b čestica značajno povećao u drugom trimestru
(p < 0,05) i ostao je povećan do kraja trudnoće u grupi BPE.
Aktivnost PON1 bila je značajno veća u trećem trimestru (p < 0,05) kod ove grupe trudnica. Udeo HDL 3a
čestica se značajno smanjio u drugom trimestru u PE grupi
trudnica (p < 0,05) i ostao je snižen do kraja trudno će.
Aktivnost PON1 enzima u PE gripi se nije menjala u toku
trudnoće. Zaključak. Dislipidemija u trudnoći može biti
posledica različitih modifikacija HDL čestica. Strukturne i
funkcionalne modifikacije HDL čestica, kao jedan od adaptivnih mehanizama, kod trudnica kod kojih se razvila
PE, nisu adekvatne i kao takve gube svoju ateroprotektivnu
ulogu.

AB  - Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterised by increased systemic inflammation, and is often accompanied with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate gene expression of resistin, its receptor CAP1 and CD36 as the indicators of the inflammatory changes in PBMCs in relation to the severity of OSA, and the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in OSA. Methods: Severity of OSA was defined by the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI): AHI < 30: mild to moderate OSA (MM-OSA), AHI ≥ 30: severe OSA (S-OSA). Presence of T2DM was captured: OSA with T2DM (OSA + T2DM), OSA without T2DM (OSA-T2DM). PBMC resistin, CAP1, and CD36 mRNA were determined by real-time PCR. Results: Resistin mRNA was significantly upregulated in S-OSA (N = 54) compared to the MM-OSA (N = 52, P = 0.043); CAP1 and CD36 mRNA levels did not differ between the groups (P = 0.302; P = 0.166, respectively). Resistin mRNA was significantly upregulated in OSA + T2DM (N = 29) compared to the OSA-T2DM (N = 77, P = 0.029); CAP1 and CD36 mRNA levels did not differ between the groups (P = 0.662; P = 0.108, respectively). AHI and T2DM were independent predictors of resistin mRNA above the 75th percentile (OR = 3.717 [1.152–11.991]; OR = 3.261 [1.000–10.630], P = 0.042 respectively). Conclusion: Resistin gene upregulation in S-OSA indicates its possible contribution to increased inflammation in S-OSA and makes it a possible marker of the disease severity. Resistin gene upregulation in OSA + T2DM suggests that a joint effect of these two comorbidities may have a major contribution to increased inflammation and complications that arise from this state.

AB  - Objective: The pathophysiological mechanisms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are not well elucidated. It is assumed that oxidative stress and inflammation are the key underlying culprits for its onset and progression. To gain deeper insight into these processes, we have evaluated several oxidative stress parameters, inflammation markers [i.e., high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), serum amyloid A1 (SAA1)], soluble programmed cell death-ligand 1 (sPD-L1), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in IPF patients. Patients and Methods: Biochemistry analyses were done in 30 consecutive IPF patients and 30 age and gender-matched healthy control group (CG). Results: IPF patients had significantly higher advanced oxidation protein products (p<0.001), pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance (p=0.010), total oxidative status (p<0.001), and ischemia modified albumin (p<0.001) compared to CG. Lower total antioxidant status and total sulfhydryl groups (tSGH) and significantly higher sPD-L1, hsCRP (p<0.001 for all), SAA1 proteins (p=0.014) and [25(OH)D] severe deficiency [11.0 (9.6-15.1) nmol/L] in IPF patients compared to CG were observed. Paraoxonase 1 activity and hsCRP level were lower, while tSHG and sPD-L1 were higher in IPF patients with more severe disease (i.e., II+III stage compared to I stage, p<0.05 for all). Conclusions: IPF patients are in a state of profound oxidative stress compared to healthy people. The inflammatory component of the disease was confirmed by higher hsCRP and SAA1, but lower [25(OH)D] in IPF than in healthy people. Also, higher levels of sPD-L1 in patients with IPF compared to healthy individuals suggest that sPD-L1 may have a significant role in immune response in IPF. © 2022 Verduci Editore s.r.l.

Results: IPF patients had significantly higher advanced oxidation protein products (p<0.001), pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance (p=0.010), total oxidative status (p<0.001), and ischemia modified albumin (p<0.001) compared to CG. Lower total antioxidant status and total sulfhydryl groups (tSGH) and significantly higher sPD-L1, hsCRP (p<0.001 for all), SAA1 proteins (p=0.014) and [25(OH)D] severe deficiency [11.0 (9.6-15.1) nmol/L] in IPF patients compared to CG were observed. Paraoxonase 1 activity and hsCRP level were lower, while tSHG and sPD-L1 were higher in IPF patients with more severe disease (i.e., II+III stage compared to I stage, p<0.05 for all). Conclusions: IPF patients are in a state of profound oxidative stress compared to healthy people. The inflammatory component of the disease was confirmed by higher hsCRP and SAA1, but lower [25(OH)D] in IPF than in healthy people. Also, higher levels of sPD-L1 in patients with IPF compared to healthy individuals suggest that sPD-L1 may have a significant role in immune response in IPF. © 2022 Verduci Editore s.r.l.

AB  - Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the
most common endocrine diseases in children. T-cell autore-
activity toward b-cells is controlled by significant changes in
metabolism of T cells. Mammalian target of rapamycin
(mTOR) is an important intracellular regulator of metabolism
and cell growth. MAPK/MAK/MRK overlapping kinase 1
(MOK1) is one of the less known regulators of mTOR. We
sought to investigate if MOK1 and mTOR mRNA levels in
peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of T1DM pedi-
atric patients are different compared to healthy subjects.
Methods: This study included 172 adolescents with T1DM
and 36 healthy adolescent volunteers designated for control
group (CG). MOK1 and mTOR mRNA levels were deter-
mined in PBMCs by qPCR.
Results: T1DM patients have significant downregulation of
MOK1 mRNA levels in PBMCs compared CG (P=0.018),
while there was no significant difference in mTOR mRNA
levels (P=0.891). Furthermore, in T1DM patients, MOK1
significantly correlated with age, triglycerides and mTOR,
while mTOR correlated significantly with BMI and systolic
blood pressure. Overweight T1DM subjects had significantly
lower MOK1 (P=0.034) and mTOR (P=0.017) mRNA
levels, together with significantly higher levels of systolic
blood pressure (P<0.001), total cholesterol (P=0.001),
LDL-cholesterol (P=0.001) and CRP (P<0.001). Multi-
variate analysis showed that MOK1 was independently
negatively associated with T1DM when adjusted for sex, age, HDL-C and CRP (OR=0.417 (95%CI: 0.175–0.997),
p=0.049).
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated for the first time that
T1DM is associated with MOK1 downregulation. In addition,
downregulation of both mTOR and MOK1 gene expressions
was associated with cardiovascular risk factors in overweight
T1DM patients.

Cilj istraživanja je bio da se ispita da li su nivoi iRNK MOK1 i mTOR u mononuklearnim ćelijama periferne krvi različiti kod pedijatrijskih pacijenata sa T1DM u odnosu na zdrave ispitanike. Metode: Ovo istraživanje je obuhvatilo 172 adolescenta sa T1DM i 36 zdravih adolescenata dobrovoljaca koji su činili kontrolnu grupu (CG). Nivoi MOK1 i mTOR mRNA određeni su u PBMC-ima pomoću qPCR-a. Rezultati: Pacijenti sa T1DM imali su značajno niže nivoe iRNK MOK1 u PBMC u odnosu na CG, dok razlike u nivoima iRNK mTOR nisu bile značajne (P = 0,891). Štaviše, kod pacijenata sa T1DM, MOK1 je značajno korelirao sa godinama, trigliceri dima i mTOR, dok je mTOR značajno korelirao sa BMI i sistolnim krvnim pritiskom. Ispitanici sa prekomernom težinom T1DM imali su značajno niže nivoe iRNK MOK1 (P = 0,034) i mTOR (P = 0,017), zajedno sa značajno većim nivoima sistolnog krvnog pritiska (P <0,001), ukupnog holesterola (P = 0,001), LDL-holesterola (P = 0,001) i CRP (P <0,001). Multivarijantna analiza je pokazala da je MOK1 nezavisno negativno povezan sa T1DM kada je prilagođen polu, starosti, HDL-C i CRP (OR = 0,417 (95%CI: 0,175-0,997), p = 0,049). Zaključak: Naša studija je prva koja je pokazala da je T1DM udružen sa nishodnom regulacijom MOK1.

AB  - Various studies have reported contradictory results regarding the relationship of total bilirubin and high‑sensitivity C‑reactive protein levels (hsCRP) with diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DM2). Therefore, we aimed to examine which one of them could be more convenient for the estimation of DM2 risk in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 healthy postmenopausal women (mean age 57[53–60] years) and 79 postmenopausal women with DM2 (mean age 66 [61–71] years) were enrolled in cross‑sectional study. Examinees were recruited consecutively in the study during their regular check‑up visit in the Primary Health Care Center in Podgorica, Montenegro, in a period from October 2012 to May 2016. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure were obtained. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women. Results: Age, waist circumference, and total bilirubin were the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women (odds ratio [OR] =1.224, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.117–1.341], P < 0.001; OR = 1.137, [95% CI = 1.036–1.215], P < 0.001, and OR = 0.727, [95% CI = 0.611–0.866], P < 0.001, respectively), whereas hsCRP lost its independent predictive role (OR = 1.155, [95% CI = 0.854–1.560], P = 0.349). Conclusion: Unlike hsCRP, total bilirubin independently correlated with DM2 in postmenopausal women.

abstract = "Various studies have reported contradictory results regarding the relationship of total bilirubin and high‑sensitivity C‑reactive protein levels (hsCRP) with diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DM2). Therefore, we aimed to examine which one of them could be more convenient for the estimation of DM2 risk in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 healthy postmenopausal women (mean age 57[53–60] years) and 79 postmenopausal women with DM2 (mean age 66 [61–71] years) were enrolled in cross‑sectional study. Examinees were recruited consecutively in the study during their regular check‑up visit in the Primary Health Care Center in Podgorica, Montenegro, in a period from October 2012 to May 2016. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure were obtained. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women. Results: Age, waist circumference, and total bilirubin were the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women (odds ratio [OR] =1.224, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.117–1.341], P < 0.001; OR = 1.137, [95% CI = 1.036–1.215], P < 0.001, and OR = 0.727, [95% CI = 0.611–0.866], P < 0.001, respectively), whereas hsCRP lost its independent predictive role (OR = 1.155, [95% CI = 0.854–1.560], P = 0.349). Conclusion: Unlike hsCRP, total bilirubin independently correlated with DM2 in postmenopausal women.",

AB  - Objective. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents the significant source of increased oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to follow the OS status parameters (i.e., ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion, prooxidantantioxidant balance (PAB), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and superoxide-dismutase (SOD)) change through the predefined study times in two different surgical procedures, i.e., cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Additionally, we aimed to investigate those OS status parameters in specific study times according to SYNTAX score (SS), an established angiographic score for evaluating the extensity and severity of coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods. A total of 107 patients that were planned to undergo CABG were included (i.e., 47 patients in OPCAB and 60 patients in CPB group). Blood samples were taken at 6 time intervals: before surgery (t1), immediately after intervention (t2), 6 h (t3), 24 h (t4), 48 h (t5), and 96 h after termination of the operation (t6). Results. IMA levels were higher in CPB than that in OPCAB baseline and rose in CPB group in t2 point. TOS decreased in both study groups, compared to baseline values, but without statistical significance. Superoxide anion and PAB significantly increased in t3-t6 study times, in both groups. MDA significantly increased only in CPB group in t5 and t6 interval. MDA was significantly higher in CPB group compared to OPCAB in t6 study point. CPB patients had significantly lower TAS compared to OPCAB patients at the beginning and in t2 and t3 study points. They also had significantly lower SOD activities compared to OPCAB, baseline, and in several study points. Moreover, TAS, SOD, and TAS/TOS ratio were significantly lower, whereas PAB and TOS/TAS were significantly higher in patients with high SS compared to corresponding groups. SOD activity, IMA, and TAS level were the best predictors of high SS. Conclusion. CPB patients were in more severe ischemia baseline than OPCAB group and IMA rose in CPB patients immediately after the surgery end, but not later. Also, the antioxidant status was significantly lower, whereas the prooxidant status was significantly higher in patients with high SS compared to corresponding groups. SOD activity, IMA, and TAS level were the best predictors of CAD (as determined with SS), showing that SOD and IMA had very good discriminatory capability towards higher SS status.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) seems to present a powerful trigger of oxidative stress (OS) and acute inflammatory response. This study aimed to estimate the effects of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting on the OS that is commonly observed in patients undergoing operation under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Additionally, we aimed to examine the relationship between and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity and the degree of stenosis, severity and complexity of the atherosclerotic lesions, estimated by SYNTAX score (SS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Study group of 107 patients scheduled for CABG were divided into CPB and OPCAB group. Blood samples for OS markers measurement were collected at six-time intervals: before skin incision (t1), immediately after surgery (t2), 6h (t3), 24h (t4), 48h (t5) and 96h after cessation of the operation and surgical trauma (t6). SS was calculated. RESULTS: A significant decrease in lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) levels after both types of surgeries were observed, whereas PON1 reduction was observed higher in the CPB than in the OPCAB group. A significant inverse correlation between SS values and PON1 activity, preoperatively and during the early postoperative hours after surgery [in t2, t3 time intervals (p<0.05 for all)] was found. ROC analysis showed that for CPB patients, Model with all OS parameters showed excellent accuracy (AUC=0.957, p<0.001) for prediction postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Decrease in PON1 activity during the early post-operative phases was related to higher SS. This relationship was more convincing in CPB, compared with OPCAB patients. Moreover, integrated models of OS status parameters have the capability to predict the development of postoperative complications.

AB  - The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those factors that can explain the large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variation. International collaborative initiatives such as the hCOMET project - a COST Action launched in 2016 - represent a valuable tool to meet this challenge. The aims of hCOMET were to establish reference values for the level of DNA damage in humans, to investigate the effect of host factors, lifestyle and exposure to genotoxic agents, and to compare different sources of assay variability. A database of 19,320 subjects was generated, pooling data from 105 studies run by 44 laboratories in 26 countries between 1999 and 2019. A mixed random effect log-linear model, in parallel with a classic meta-analysis, was applied to take into account the extensive heterogeneity of data, due to descriptor, specimen and protocol variability. As a result of this analysis interquartile intervals of DNA strand breaks (which includes alkali-labile sites) were reported for tail intensity, tail length, and tail moment (comet assay descriptors). A small variation by age was reported in some datasets, suggesting higher DNA damage in oldest age-classes, while no effect could be shown for sex or smoking habit, although the lack of data on heavy smokers has still to be considered. Finally, highly significant differences in DNA damage were found for most exposures investigated in specific studies. In conclusion, these data, which confirm that DNA damage measured by the comet assay is an excellent biomarker of exposure in several conditions, may contribute to improving the quality of study design and to the standardization of results of the comet assay in human populations.

AB  - Introduction The link between preeclampsia and dyslipidemia has been established. Even though lipid profile parameters have been intensively investigated in the pathology of preeclampsia, their accurate molecular mechanisms of action have not been fully decoded. Objectives We aimed to identify the specifics of cholesterol metabolism in women affected by late‑onset preeclampsia and single out potential biomarkers associated with late‑onset syndrome. Patient s and methods A total of 90 pregnant women with a priori risk for preeclampsia were monitored at 4 time points during gestation and, based on the outcome of pregnancy, they were classified into the high‑risk group (70 women) and the preeclampsia group (20 women). Cholesterol metabolic profiling was done using liquid chromatography‑tandem mass spectrometry. Result s The only significant change in the preeclampsia group was an increase in the lathosterol level (P = 0.001). The first‑trimester lathosterol level was higher in the preeclampsia group compared with the high‑risk group (P = 0.02). Further, in the preeclampsia group, positive correlations were found between desmosterol and β‑sitosterol (ρ = 0.474; P = 0.03) in the third trimester, desmosterol and campesterol changes between the second and the first (ρ = 0.546; P = 0.02), and the third and first trimesters (ρ = 0.754; P <0.001), as well as between the desmosterol and β‑sitosterol differences between the third and first trimesters (ρ = 0.568; P = 0.01). No similar correlations were found in the high‑risk group. Conclusions Late‑onset preeclampsia could be associated with an altered lipid profile. By studying the quantitative metabolic signatures of cholesterol, we might assume that both cholesterol synthesis and absorption are increased, that is, there is an imbalance in the cholesterol homeostasis regulation in women affected by the disease.

AB  - Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Defects in trophoblast invasion, differentiation of extravillous trophoblasts and spiral artery remodeling are key factors in PE development. Currently there are no predictive biomarkers clinically available for PE. Recent technological advancements empowered transcriptome exploration and led to the discovery of numerous non-coding RNA species of which microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the most investigated. They are implicated in the regulation of numerous cellular functions, and as such are being extensively explored as potential biomarkers for various diseases. Altered expression of numerous lncRNAs and miRNAs in placenta has been related to pathophysiological processes that occur in preeclampsia. In the following text we offer summary of the latest knowledge of the molecular mechanism by which lnRNAs and miRNAs (focusing on the chromosome 19 miRNA cluster (C19MC)) contribute to pathophysiology of PE development and their potential utility as biomarkers of PE, with special focus on sample selection and techniques for the quantification of lncRNAs and miRNAs in maternal circulation.

Anthropometric, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure were obtained.Results There was a significant increase in ALT and GGT activity, as well as a decrease in total bilirubin level in the high-risk FRS group compared to moderate-, and low-risk FRS (p for trend = 0.025, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index, triglycer-ides, creatinine, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were the independent predictors of FRS in women [odds ratio (OR) = 1.234, p = 0.001; OR = 2.856, p = 0.001; OR = 1.090, p = 0.002, and OR = 1.295, p = 0.045, respectively].

AB  - Introduction: We aimed to examine serum endocan level and the summary involvement of dyslipidemia, oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation by calculation of its comprehensive score (i.e. Dyslipidemia-Oxy-Inflammation (DOI) score) in relation to glucoregulation in subjects with prediabetes and overt type 2 diabetes (T2D). Material and methods: A total of 59 patients with prediabetes and 102 patients with T2D were compared with 117 diabetes-free controls. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), inflammation, OS and lipid parameters were measured. Associations of clinical data with HbA1c level were tested with univariate and multivariate logistic ordinal regression analysis. HbA1c as a dependent variable is given at the ordinal level (i.e. < 5.7%; 5.7-6.4%, > 6.4%, respectively). Results: Endocan was significantly higher in the T2D group than in the controls. As endocan concentration rose by 1 unit, the probability for higher HbA1c concentration increased by more than 3 times (OR = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.84-7.01, p < 0.001). Also, a rise in the dyslipidemia score, oxy score, inflammation score and DOI score by 1 unit increased the probability of higher HbA1c concentration by 19%, 13%, 51% and 11%, respectively. In the models, after adjustment for confounding variables, endocan and DOI score remained independent predictors of HbA1c level. Conclusions: Endocan and DOI score are independently correlated with HbA1c in patients with prediabetes and overt T2D.

Also, a rise in the dyslipidemia score, oxy score, inflammation score and DOI score by 1 unit increased the probability of higher HbA1c concentration by 19%, 13%, 51% and 11%, respectively. In the models, after adjustment for confounding variables, endocan and DOI score remained independent predictors of HbA1c level. Conclusions: Endocan and DOI score are independently correlated with HbA1c in patients with prediabetes and overt T2D.",

AB  - Studies that evaluated endocan levels in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis are scarce. We aimed to explore endocan levels in relation to different stages of liver diseases, such as NAFLD, as determined with fatty liver index (FLI) and liver fibrosis, as assessed with BARD score. A total of 147 participants with FLI≥60 were compared with 64 participants with FLI <30. An FLI score was calculated using waist circumference, body mass index, gamma-glutamyl transferase and triglycerides. Patients with FLI≥60 were further divided into those with no/mild fibrosis (BARD score 0-1 point; n=23) and advanced fibrosis (BARD score 2-4 points; n=124). BARD score was calculated as follows: diabetes mellitus (1 point) + body mass index≥28 kg/m2 (1 point) + aspartate amino transferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio≥0.8 (2 points). Endocan was independent predictor for FLI and BARD score, both in univariate [OR=1.255 (95% CI= 1.104-1.426), P=0.001; OR=1.208 (95% CI=1.029- 1.419), P=0.021, respectively] and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis [OR=1.287 (95% CI=1.055- 1.570), P=0.013; OR=1.226 (95% CI=1.022-1.470), P=0.028, respectively]. Endocan as a single predictor showed poor discriminatory capability for steatosis/fibrosis [AUC=0.648; (95% CI=0.568-0.727), P=0.002; AUC= 0.667 (95% CI=0.555-0.778), P=0.013, respectively], whereas in a Model, endocan showed an excellent clinical accuracy [AUC=0.930; (95% CI=0.886-0.975), P<0.001, AUC=0.840 (95% CI=0.763-0.918), P<0.001, respectively]. Endocan independently correlated with both FLI and BARD score. However, when tested in models (with other biomarkers), endocan showed better discriminatory ability for liver steatosis/fibrosis, instead of its usage as a single biomarker
AB  - Uvod: Nema mnogo studija koje su ispitivale vrednosti endokana kod obolelih od nealkoholne steatoze i fibroze jetre. Naš cilj je bio da se ispita nivo endokana u različitim stadijumima oboljenja jetre, kao što su nealkoholna steatoza jetre, predstavljena indeksom masne jetre (FLI) i fibroza jetre, predstavljena BARD skorom. Metode: Ukupno 147 učesnika sa FLI≥60 poređeno je sa 64 učesnika sa FLI <30. FLI skor je izračunat koriste i vrednosti obim struka, indeksa telesne mase, aktivnosti gama-glutamil transferaze i vrednosti triglicerida. Ispitanici sa FLI≥60 su dalje podeljeni u 2 grupe: bez fibroze/blaga fibroza (BARD skor 0–1 poen; n=23) i uznapredovala fibroza (BARD skor 2–4 poena; n=124). BARD skor je računat na sledeći način: e erna bolest (1 poen) + indeks telesne mase≥28 kg/m2 (1 poen) + odnos aspartat aminotransferaza/alanin aminotransferaza≥0,8 (2 poena). Rezultati: Endokan je nezavisan prediktor FLI i BARD skora, kako u univarijantnoj [OR=1,255 (95% CI=1,104– 1,426), P=0,001; odnosno OR=1,208 (95% CI=1,029– 1,419), P=0,021], tako i u multivarijantnoj binarnoj logističkoj regresionoj analizi [OR=1.287 (95% CI=1,055– 1,570), P=0,013; odnosno OR=1,226 (95% CI=1,022– 1,470), P=0,028]. Endokan kao samostalan prediktor pokazao je slabu diskriminatornu mo za steatozu/fibrozu jetre [AUC=0,648; (95% CI=0,568–0,727), P=0,002; odnosno AUC=0,667 (95% CI=0,555–0,778), P=0,013], ali je u Modelu pokazao odličnu kliničku tačnost [AUC=0,930; (95% CI=0,886–0,975), P<0,001; odnosno AUC=0,840 (95% CI=0,763–0,918), P<0,001]. Zaključak: Endokan je nezavisno povezan kako sa FLI, tako i sa BARD skorom. Ipak, u modelu (sa drugim biomarkerima), endokan je pokazao bolju diskriminatornu sposobnost za steatozu/fibrozu jetre.

AB  - Purpose: The pathophysiological mechanism of the relationship between xanthine oxidase (XO) activity and obesity has not been completely elucidated. Since inflammation and oxidative stress are regarded as key determinants of enlarged adipose tissue, we aimed to investigate the association between oxidative stress (as measured with XO activity), inflammation [as measured with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)] and obesity [as measured with body mass index (BMI)]. In addition, we wanted to examine whether hsCRP itself plays an independent role in XO activity increase or it is only mediated through obesity. Methods: A total of 118 overweight/obese volunteers (mean age 54.76 ± 15.13 years) were included in the current cross-sectional study. Anthropometric, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure were obtained. Results: Significant differences between age, BMI, waist circumference, concentrations of uric acid and hsCRP, as well as xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) activities were evident among XO tertile groups. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI (beta = 0.241, p = 0.012) and XDH (beta = − 0.489, p < 0.001) are the independent predictors of XO activity (R2-adjusted = 0.333), whereas hsCRP lost its independent role in XO activity prediction. Conclusion: Obesity (as determined with increased BMI) is an independent predictor of high XO activity in overweight/obese population. Level of Evidence: Level V: cross-sectional descriptive study.

AB  - Since the association of coronary artery disease (CAD) with inflammatory and oxidativeprocesses that leads to the development of coronary artery occlusion and acute coronary syndrome,most commonly in the form of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been recognized,biomarkers that would be useful in classifying patients according to disease severity and in predictingfuture cardiac events are still being sought. This study aimed to examine the concentrations ofpentraxin 3 (PTX3), cyclophilin A (CyPA) and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growthfactor (HB-EGF) in patients with STEMI (N = 87) compared to healthy subjects (N = 193) and patientswith stable angina pectoris (N = 15) to determine whether changes in these parameters are due tochronic heart disease or their values change due to acute disorders in STEMI. It was additionallyanalyzed whether the application of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) leads todamage of the heart blood vessels, which will be manifested as a change in the concentrations of theexamined parameters. These parameters were also analyzed in patients with the diagnosis of themyocardial infarction without coronary artery obstruction (MINOCA). This study showed that theinflammatory biomarkers PTX3 and HB-EGF are elevated in STEMI and change significantly afterpPCI in patients with obstructive CAD compared to pre-procedure values. MINOCA patients hadsignificantly higher PTX3 values compared to patients with STEMI. Factor analysis was applied toexamine independent predictors of high PTX3 and HB-EGF concentrations in patients with STEMI.The metabolic-oxidative stress factor is a significant predictor of high concentrations of PTX3, whilePTX3 is a significant predictor of high concentrations of HB-EGF. Besides, the results showed that theidentification of MINOCA etiology is crucial for the treatment of these patients in which thedetermination of PTX3 concentration can help, in addition to standard procedures.

This study showed that theinflammatory biomarkers PTX3 and HB-EGF are elevated in STEMI and change significantly afterpPCI in patients with obstructive CAD compared to pre-procedure values. MINOCA patients hadsignificantly higher PTX3 values compared to patients with STEMI. Factor analysis was applied toexamine independent predictors of high PTX3 and HB-EGF concentrations in patients with STEMI.The metabolic-oxidative stress factor is a significant predictor of high concentrations of PTX3, whilePTX3 is a significant predictor of high concentrations of HB-EGF. Besides, the results showed that theidentification of MINOCA etiology is crucial for the treatment of these patients in which thedetermination of PTX3 concentration can help, in addition to standard procedures.",

AB  - Telomeres are DNA-protein structures located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Since
their shortening is a natural process, which repeats with each cell division, telomere lengths
have been proposed as a biomarker of aging. Also, there is evidence that telomere shortening
and dysfunction can be accelerated by oxidative-stress and unhealthy lifestyle factors,
including physical inactivity and inadequate nutrition, Thus, we aimed to evaluate the
association of redox status and selected lifestyle factors with telomere length. The study
included 94 apparently healthy adults, both genders with average age 46±12 years. Before
anthropometric measurements and venous blood sampling, participants were asked to complete
a lifestyle questionnaire. Serum antioxidant defense markers (total sulfhydryl groups,
paraoxonase activity and total antioxidant status) and prooxidants and products of its activity
(malondialdehyde, superoxide anion and total oxidant status) were determined. The
Prooxidative score, Antioxidative score and Oxy score were calculated from measured redox
status markers by using z-score statistics. Telomere length was determined by qPCR method
using genomic DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes. A positive relation was found among
telomere length and a moderate level of physical activity, intake of fruits and vegetables,
especially for females. Increasing abdominal fat, alcohol and fried food intake, as well the Oxy
score (difference between Proxidative and Antioxidative scores) were inversely associated with
telomere length. Overall, these results support the impact of healthy lifestyle on healthy aging
and redox control in the term of prevention of major age-related diseases.

AB  - We investigated circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers pentraxin-3 (PTX3), cyclophilin A (CypA), and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF); oxidative stress; and antioxidant status markers in the patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) to better understand a relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress. We examined the impact of oxidative stress on high values of inflammatory parameters. The study included 87 patients with STEMI and 193 controls. We observed a positive correlation between PTX3 and HB-EGF (ρ = 0.24, P = .027), CyPA, and sulfhydryl (SH) groups (ρ = 0.25, P = .026), and a negative correlation between PTX3 and SH groups (ρ = −0.35, P = .001) in patients with STEMI. To better understand the effect of the examined parameters on the occurrence of high concentrations of inflammatory parameters, we grouped them using principal component analysis. This analysis identified the 4 most contributing factors. Optimal cutoff values for discrimination of patients with STEMI from controls were calculated for PTX3 and HB-EGF. An independent predictor for PTX3 above the cutoff value was a “metabolic-oxidative stress factor” comprised of glucose and oxidative stress marker prooxidant-antioxidant balance (odds ratio = 4.449, P = .030). The results show that higher PTX3 values will occur in patients having STEMI with greater metabolic and oxidative stress status values.

AB  - Background:Some observational studies indicate an association  of  25-hydroxy  vitamin  D  (25(OH)D)  insufficiency and  atherogenic  cholesterol  concentrations.  The  aim  of this study was to investigate relationship between 25(OH)D concentrations  and  lipid  parameters  in  end  stage  renal disease  (ESRD)  patients,  separately  for  predialysis,  hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods:We  have  adjusted  25(OH)D  concentrations  for seasonal variability with cosinor analysis, and performed all further analysis using these corrected 25(OH)D concentrations. Concentrations of 25(OH)D and the lipid parameters were  determined  in  214  ESRD  patients  and  50  control group participants. The analysis included the measurement of 25(OH)D by HPLC, apolipoprotein (Apo) AI, ApoB andLp(a) by nephelometry, total cholesterol (TC), high-densitylipoprotein  cholesterol  (HDL-C),  low-density  lipoprotein cholesterol  (LDL-C)  and  triglyceride  (TG)  by  spectrophotometry   and   manually   calculated   ApoB/ApoAI   and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio.Results:ESRD patients with adjusted 25(OH)D concentrations  of  ≤ 50  nmol/L  had  significantly  higher  TC  (P  =0.005) and ApoAI (P = 0.049). Significantly higher HDL-C  (P  =  0.011)  and  ApoAI  (P  =  0.020)  were  found  in hemodialysis patients with the 25(OH)D concentrations of ≤ 50 nmol/L. The other analyzed lipid parameters differed significantly  between  predialysis,  hemodialysis  and  peritoneal dialysis patients with 25(OH)D concentrations of <50 nmol/L. Conclusions:Our study indicate the significant relationship between 25(OH)D repletion and optimal concentrations of lipid parameters in ESRD patients. Further research is necessary  to  explain  whether  joint  evaluation  of  vitamin  D status and lipid abnormalities could improve cardiovascular outcome in ESRD patients.
AB  - Uvod: Opservacione studije ukazuju na povezanost nedostatka 25-hidroksi vitamin D (25(OH)D) i koncentracija aterogenog holesterola. Cilj ove studije bio je da se ispita međusobna povezanost 25(OH)D i lipidnih parametara kod bolesnika sa krajnjim stadijumom bolesti bubrega (ESRD) posebno kod predijaliznih, bolesnika na hemodijalizi i peritonalnoj dijalizi. Metode: Podesili smo koncentracije 25(OH)D za sezonsku varijaciju koristeći kosinor analizu, i u daljem ispitivanju smo koristili korigovane koncentracije 25(OH)D. Koncentracije 25(OH)D i lipidnih parametara su određene za 214 ESRD bolesnika i 50 učesnika kontrolne grupe. Analizirali smo koncentracije 25(OH)D metodom HPLC, apolipoproteina (Apo) AI, ApoB i Lp(a) nefelometrijski, ukupnog holesterola (TC), lipoproteina velike gustine (HDL-C), lipoproteina male gustine (LDL-C) i triglicerida (TG) spektro fotometrijski i ručno preračunavali indekse ApoB/ApoAI i LDL-C/HDLC. Rezultati: ESRD bolesnici sa korigovanim 25(OH)D 50 nmol/L su imali značajno viši TC (P = 0,005) i ApoAI (P = 0,049). Značajno više koncentracije HDL-C (P = 0,011) i ApoAI (P = 0,020) smo dobili kod hemodijaliznih bolesnika sa 25(OH)D koncentracijama 50 nmol/L. Ostali analizirani lipidni parametri su bili značajno različiti između analiziranih grupa bolesnika sa 25(OH)D koncentracijama < 50 nmol/L. Zaključak: Naša studija ukazuje na značajnu povezanost dovoljnih nivoa 25(OH)D i optimalnih koncentracija lipidnih parametara kod ESRD bolesnika. Potrebna su dalja istraživanja da bi se objasnilo da li zajednička procena statusa vitamina D i lipidnih abnormalnosti mogu da poboljšaju kardiovaskularni ishod kod ESRD bolesnika.

AB  - Asymptomatic outdoor dogs can be carriers of Babesia canis, but data describing the development of an acute phase response (APR) are not available. We hypothesised that these dogs have a moderate APR that could be detected by hematological and biochemical changes. Two groups of Babesia-exposed dogs were represented by nine B. canis PCR-positive and twenty B. canis PCR-negative, seroreactive dogs. The control group consisted of ten Babesia-naïve dogs. Serum amyloid A (SAA), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), complete blood count, and biochemistry parameters were analysed by standard methodologies. Protein and lipoprotein fractions were separated using agarose gel electrophoresis (GE), and the dominant diameters of lipoproteins were assessed on gradient GE. Results were evaluated using non-parametric tests and the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve. SAA (median 39.0 μg/mL, range 2.2–48.8 μg/mL), total protein (median 74.7 g/L, range 57.1–98.3 g/L) and the dominant diameter of α-lipoproteins (median 13.31 nm, range 12.09–14.17 nm) in B. canis PCR-positive dogs were higher relative to dogs in the control group or dogs that were PCR-negative but seroreactive (p < 0.001 for both groups). Mild to moderate anemia (4/29), thrombocytopenia (7/29), and leukocyte counts that were close to the upper limit of the reference range were encountered in both Babesia-exposed groups. When compared to controls, Babesia-exposed dogs displayed decreased a PON-1 activity and protein GE pattern consistent with low-grade chronic inflammation (p < 0.001 for both groups). Dogs with detectable amounts of B. canis DNA in blood contain increased levels of SAA and total protein along with α-lipoproteins that display an increased diameter relative to those dogs with positive Babesia serology but undetectable levels of B. canis DNA in blood.

Two groups of Babesia-exposed dogs were represented by nine B. canis PCR-positive and twenty B. canis PCR-negative, seroreactive dogs. The control group consisted of ten Babesia-naïve dogs. Serum amyloid A (SAA), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), complete blood count, and biochemistry parameters were analysed by standard methodologies. Protein and lipoprotein fractions were separated using agarose gel electrophoresis (GE), and the dominant diameters of lipoproteins were assessed on gradient GE. Results were evaluated using non-parametric tests and the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve. SAA (median 39.0 μg/mL, range 2.2–48.8 μg/mL), total protein (median 74.7 g/L, range 57.1–98.3 g/L) and the dominant diameter of α-lipoproteins (median 13.31 nm, range 12.09–14.17 nm) in B. canis PCR-positive dogs were higher relative to dogs in the control group or dogs that were PCR-negative but seroreactive (p < 0.001 for both groups). Mild to moderate anemia (4/29), thrombocytopenia (7/29), and leukocyte counts that were close to the upper limit of the reference range were encountered in both Babesia-exposed groups. When compared to controls, Babesia-exposed dogs displayed decreased a PON-1 activity and protein GE pattern consistent with low-grade chronic inflammation (p < 0.001 for both groups). Dogs with detectable amounts of B. canis DNA in blood contain increased levels of SAA and total protein along with α-lipoproteins that display an increased diameter relative to those dogs with positive Babesia serology but undetectable levels of B. canis DNA in blood.",

AB  - Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate metabolic changes in lipids and oxidative stress parameters in the first trimester of pregnancy with the more specific aim of estimating the significance and strength of researched parameters in the prediction of preeclampsia. Design and Methods. The study included 87 high-risk pregnant (HRG) female subjects, 14 with developed preeclampsia (PEC) and 43 healthy pregnant female subjects matched for gestational age (CG). Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) concentration, lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) and total oxidative status (TOS) were measured as oxidative stress markers, while total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was measured as an antioxidative defense parameter. The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) was calculated as the base 10 logarithm of the ratio of the plasma concentration of triglycerides (TG) to the plasma concentration of highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), with each concentration expressed in mmol/L. Results: The results have shown that lipid indices, especially AIP, were significantly higher in the first trimester of HRG (p < 0.001) and PEC (p < 0.001). Oxidative stress parameters were significantlly higher, while TAC was significantly lower in HRG vs. CG [0.7 ± 0.15 vs 1.1 ± 0.16; (p < 0.001)] and in PEC [0.6 ± 0.12 vs 1.1 ± 0.16; (p < 0.001)] vs. CG. Also, in the HRG, results have shown an independent association of AIP with the preeclampsia development (p < 0.05), while placental growth factor did not show the expected level of significance (p = 0.648). Analysis of the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves indicated that certain parameters included in the research model have very good diagnostic accuracy for preeclampsia (AUC = 0.856). Conclusions: AIP is associated with high-risk pregnancies. Furthermore, our results firmly underscored AIP as a potential marker for preeclampsia prediction.

AB  - Introduction: MicroRNAs have a significant role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Circulating microRNAs could represent a potential biomarker for preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma miR210-3p and miR518b in preeclampsia and healthy pregnancy for the first time by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR). Methods: Thirty-six pregnant women (seventeen healthy pregnancies, nineteen preeclampsia patients) were involved from the Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics “Narodni front” in Belgrade, Serbia. Plasma miR210-3p, miR518b and cel-miR-39 as a spike-in control were measured by ddPCR. Results: MiR518b was significantly elevated in preeclampsia compared to a healthy pregnancy (P = 0.034; 0.302(0.217–0.421) vs. 0.171(0.110–0.266)). MiR210-3p showed no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.951). The adjustment of miR518b was made for a gestational age and smoking status and the difference between the preeclampsia and healthy pregnancy group was more significant (P = 0.026; 0.300(0.216–0.419) vs. 0.172(0.121–0.245)). Plasma miR-518b was significantly higher in the group of preeclampsia patients with proteinuria above the 75th percentile for the group (P=0.033), in women who smoked (P=0.039), and was positively related to uric acid in preeclampsia (P = 0.018, r = 0.536). Plasma miR518b was able to significantly discriminate between preeclampsia and healthy pregnancy, yielding AUC of 0.712 (95%CI:0.539–0.891), P = 0.028. Conclusions: In this study plasma microRNA were measured for the first time in preeclampsia and healthy pregnancies with ddPCR. Placenta-specific miR-518b could serve as a potential biomarker for discriminating preeclampsia and healthy pregnancy, which should be confirmed on a larger study population. This study has failed to confirm the same potential for miR210-3p.
