The brilliant book “What is life? The Physical aspect of the living Cell” authored by the prominent Nobel Prize-winning austrian physicist erwin Schrödinger became a successful attempt to bridge the gap between physics and biology. The philosophical thought of one of the founders of quantum mechanics inspired him to look closer at the enigma of life through the lens of quantum physics. a prominent physicist was focused on the thermodynamics of the living organisms and the nature of heredity. Schrödinger introduced the concept and notion of “negative entropy”, suggested the idea of a genetic code and argued that the genetic material had to have a non-repetitive molecular structure. He considered a molecule as a solid – aperiodic crystal that forms the hereditary substance. Despite the fact that his book provoked different interpretations and his ideas were modified by later scientific development, it was Schrödinger who paved the way for the future research of genes: his book inspired the next generation of scientists to look for a secret life code, which was eventually found. His outstanding writing is still one of the most profound introductions into the subject and raises new questions. Schrödinger’s genius reshapes our view on the nature and essence of life creating a launching pad for the new transdisciplinary paradigm, which can contribute to the development of a unified theory of everything in the spirit of Schrödinger’s philosophy.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between D-dimer levels and different biomarkers of renal diseases to identify the relationship between hypercoagulation and chronic kidney disease (CkD). To achieve this aim, we conducted a one-step prospective observational study involving 140 patients with CkD who were hospitali zed in Ivano-Frankivsk regional Clinical hospital in Ukraine during 2018-2019. of these patients, 100 patients (71.4%; 95% CI 53.4-76.7) had glomerulonephritis (GN) and 40 patients (28,6%; 95% CI 21.3-36.8) had diabetic nephropathy (DN). all patients underwent standard examination, which included general clinical, biochemical and instrumental research methods. D-dimer was quantitatively determined in blood serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ElISa). The 140 patients were divided into two groups according to the level of D-dimers: normal level (<0.5 mg/l) and elevated level (≥0.5 mg/l). Elevated D-dimer levels were associated with an increased age of patients, decreased glomerular filtration rate, decreased blood albumin level, increased daily protein excretion and a tendency to develop thromboembolic complications during 1 year of monitoring. D-dimer is a biological marker that can detect hypercoagulation at an early preclinical stage in patients with CkD and identify patients with an increased cardiovascular risk, thereby promoting the earliest use of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants and, consequently, it can reduce mortality .
该研究的目的是评估d -二聚体水平与肾脏疾病的不同生物标志物之间的关系,以确定高凝与慢性肾脏疾病(CkD)之间的关系。为了实现这一目标,我们开展了一项为期一步的前瞻性观察性研究,纳入了2018-2019年在乌克兰伊万诺-弗兰科夫斯克地区临床医院住院的140例CkD患者。其中100例(71.4%);95% CI 53.4-76.7)有肾小球肾炎(GN), 40例(28.6%;95% CI 21.3 ~ 36.8)为糖尿病肾病(DN)。所有患者均接受标准检查,包括一般临床、生化和仪器研究方法。采用酶联免疫吸附法(ElISa)定量测定血清中d -二聚体的含量。140例患者根据d -二聚体水平分为正常组(<0.5 mg/l)和升高组(≥0.5 mg/l)。d -二聚体水平升高与患者年龄增加、肾小球滤过率降低、血白蛋白水平降低、每日蛋白质排泄增加以及在1年监测期间发生血栓栓塞并发症的倾向有关。d -二聚体是一种生物标志物,可以在CkD患者的早期临床前阶段检测到高凝,并识别心血管风险增加的患者,从而促进抗血小板药物和抗凝剂的早期使用,从而降低死亡率。

The interaction of the fifth kringle of Glu-plasminogen with fibrin triggers activation and initiation of fibrinolysis, yet the site on fibrin that binds kringle 5 remains unknown. The aim of our work was to determine an amino acid sequence in the D-fragment of fibrin(ogen) molecule, which is complementary to the lysine-binding site (LBS) in kringle 5. We studied the interaction between kringle 5 of plasminogen with polypeptide chains of the D-fragments of fibrin and cyanogen bromide fragments FCB-2 and t-NDSK and showed that kringle 5 bound specifically to αand γ-chains of the D-fragment and the α-chain of FCB-2. Tryptic peptides of D-fragment α-chain were obtained, separated by their ability to bind with the immobilized kringle 5, and then all studied peptides were characterized by MALDI-TOF analysis. The critical amino acid residues of the α-chain of D-fragment, which provide its interaction with kringle 5, turned out to be α171Arg and/or α176Lys. The binding site of Glu-plasminogen complementary to the LBS of kringle 5 is located within Аα168Ala−183Lys, a sequence in a weakly structured loop between two supercoils in the α-chain of the Dfragment of the fibrin(ogen) molecule.

Obtaining new monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) towards fibrin(ogen) and its fragments is an important task for studying mechanisms of blood clot formation, searching for novel antithrombotic agents and developing immunodiagnostics. The aim of the present work was to create and characterize a new mAb towards the fibrin(ogen) αС-region. We surmise that having a specific mAb towards this flexible part of the molecule will allow us to study the role of the αС-region in fibrin polymerization and also to develop an approach for detecting the earliest forms of soluble fibrin by sandwich ELISA. Using hybridoma technology we оbtained mAb 1-5A to the αC-region of fibrinogen.. It was characterized using several variations of ELISA and Western blot. Application of specific proteases together with MALDI-TOF analysis allowed us to localize its epitope that is located in fragment 537-595 of the Aα-chain of fibrin(ogen). МAb 1-5A can be used as a detecting tag-antibody in sandwich ELISA for the quantification of the earliest forms of soluble fibrin which are uncleaved by plasmin and preserved C-terminal portions of αC-regions. These earliest forms of soluble fibrin are direct evidence of blood coagulation system activation, thrombin generation and the danger of intravascular thrombus formation. Their determination will provide additional, more accurate information about the state of the blood coagulation system and the risk of blood clotting, which is very important for the timely and correct selection of adequate antithrombotic therapy. MAb 1-5A effectively binds the αC-containing molecules of fibrinogen and fibrin in blood plasma. It also can be used for studying protein-protein and protein-cellular interactions of the αC-regions of fibrin(ogen).

Two BβN-domains of fibrinogen are formed by the N-terminal portions of its two Bβ chains including amino acid residues Bβ1-65. Although their folding status is not well understood and the recombinant disulfide-linked (Bβ1-66)2 fragment corresponding to a pair of these domains was found to be unfolded, some data suggest that these domains may be folded in the parent molecule. In contrast, their major functional properties are well established. Removal of fibrinopeptides B (amino acid residues Bβ1-14) from these domains upon fibrinogen to fibrin conversion results in the exposure of multiple binding sites in fibrin βN-domains (residues β15-65). These sites provide interactions of the βN-domains with different proteins and cells and their participation in various physiological and pathological processes including fibrin assembly, fibrin-dependent angiogenesis, and fibrin-dependent leukocyte transmigration and thereby inflammation. The major goal of the present review is to summarize current view on the structure and function of these domains in fibrinogen and fibrin and their role in the above-mentioned processes.

Remodeling of adipocytes in mesentery (aM) associated with nutritional overload from high fructose diet (hFD) is a source of several comorbidities. however, its pathogenesis is still unclear and there are no specific effective drugs for AM remodeling. Recently hydrogen sulfide (H2S) demonstrated potent cytoprotective actions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of AM remodeling in rats fed hFD and with h2S pre-treatment. adult male rats on standard diet (SD, control group) or hFD that underwent acute water-immersion restraint stress (WIS) were evaluated for subcellular aM adaptive responses by electron microscopy. The effects on AM of exogenous sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, 5.6 mg/ kg/day for 9 days) and the Н2S-releasing aspirin (aSa) derivative (h2S-ASA [ATB-340], 17.5 mg/kg/day) vs conventional ASA (10 mg/kg/day) vs vehicle were investigated. Serum glucose level, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and activities of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) were examined biochemically using spectrophotometry. In the HFD groups, treatment with NaHS protected aM, as mesenteric microvascular endothelial and sub-endothelial structures were observed vs the vehicletreated group that had signs of endothelial dysfunction, aM damage and dysfunctional mitochondria. The effect of H2S-aSa was characterized by protection of aM against hFD and WIS-induced injury, with lower TBARS blood level and increased CSE and CBS activities. Carbohydrate overload for 4 weeks is sufficient to cause AM oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial changes. H2S plays an important role in mesenteric adipocyte cellular survival against HFD-induced oxidative stress by decreasing overproduction of TBaRS and mitochondrial dysfunction. The use of h2S could lead to a novel approach for anti-obesity treatment.

In an effort to develop novel anti-inflammatory agents, a series of thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines were synthesized and modified at the N3 position. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by 1h NMr spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The synthesized substances were preselected via molecular docking to be tested for their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. Evaluation of compounds using the carrageenaninduced rat paw edema method showed strong anti-inflammatory action of some compounds (1, 2, 8) which exceeded that of ibuprofen.
