P135: The Role of Amyloid Beta-Peptides and Tau Protein in Alzheimer\'s Disease

Alzheimer's desease is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder, and cognitive problems such as defects in learning and memory are of its symptoms.  Among the factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease are biochemical disorders in protein production, oxidative stress, decreased acetylcholine secretion and inflammation of the brain tissue. Extra-neuronal accumulation ...

High Sensitivity C–Reactive Protein and Im-munoglobulin G against Chlamydia Pneumo-niae and Chlamydial Heat Shock Protein-60 in Ischemic Heart Disease

Background: Inflammation and infectious agents such as Chlamydia pneumoniae have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Objective: To evaluate the serum high sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) and antibodies against Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydial heat shock protein-60 (Cp-HSP60) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: 62 patients with IHD having either acute my...

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the ischemic brain.

Cerebral ischemia, a pathological condition in which brain tissue experiences a shortage of cerebral blood flow, is associated with cerebrovascular disease, brain trauma, epilepsy, and cardiac arrest. A reduction in blood flow leaves the brain tissue unsupplied with oxygen and glucose, thus leading to cell death in the ischemic core as well as subsequent peripheral injury in the penumbra. Neuro...

[Epilepsy in patients with ischemic brain disease].

The paper presents the results of follow-up study of 610 patients with ischemic stroke. In 52 patients (8.6%) there was observed symptomatic epilepsy conditioned by local causes (2 and more epileptic fits in anamnesis). The age of the onset of epileptic seizures was in the range 50-69 years, and men prevailed. From all 52 patients with episyndrome 36 had only one stroke, 16 patients-two and mor...
