Objective – to present the morphological characteristics of lysosome-dependent hepatocyte cell death. Material and methods. The object of the study was intravital liver biopsy samples of 18 patients with chronic HCV infection, obtained after they had signed informed consent. Liver biopsies were studied in a JEM-1011 electron microscope (JEOL, Japan) at magnifications of 10,000 - 60,000 at accelerating voltage of 80 kW. To obtain images, we used an Olympus Mega View III digital camera with iTEM image processing software (Olympus, Germany). Results. The illustrations and description show the interrelated sequential stages of lysosome-dependent cell death (LDCD) and autophagy-dependent cell death (ADCD) of hepatocytes in chronic hepatitis C. The process of autophagosome formation is presented, three types of autophagy are described (macroautophagy, microautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy). One of the main forms of autophagy, mitophagy, is illustrated in detail. The features of autophagy, its proviral and antiviral mechanisms, as well as the role of HCV in apoptosis associated with autophagy, are described.Conclusions. Autophagy-dependent hepatocyte death in chronic hepatitis C is a highly regulated and conservative cellular mechanism for maintaining cell homeostasis and promoting cell survival. HCV-induced autophagy suppresses apoptosis to promote cell survival. The autophagic response caused by HCV reduces the antiviral innate immune response in HCV infected hepatocytes, contributing to the chronicity of the infectious process. Visualization of the autophagy process allows for a more accurate assessment of the mechanisms and ultrastructural components of various types and stages of autophagy. Changes in all structural components of autophagy are not isolated, being characterized by a complex of specific signs associated with each other and united by the apoptosogenic mechanism of the pathogenesis of HCV infection.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45155279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immune-mediated graft dysfunction with the prevalence of 40% is one of the main problems of modern transplantology. Although percutaneous liver graft biopsy is associated with the development of different complications occurring in 2,2% of cases and can also lead to fatal outcome. Objective – to develop a noninvasive method of graft dysfunction diagnostics in the late post-transplant period using terminally differentiated effector CD8+ T-lymphocytes. Material and methods. There was carried out a single center observational retrospective case-control pilot study, including 45 recipients after orthotopic liver transplantation. According to the postoperative clinical course the patients were stratifed into 2 groups depending on the presence of graft rejection episodes. All patients got immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation. Immunophenotypes of the recipients were determined by flow cytometry method. Percutaneous liver graft biopsy was performed in all patients, the results of histological examination were evaluated according to the international Banff schema for grading liver allograft rejection. Results. The results of liver biopsies showed that 14 (31%) out of 45 patients had morphological signs of rejection. The patients with rejection had a reliably higher level of CD8+ Temra cells absolute number (0,23 (0,14;0,38) x 109/l) in comparison to those without rejection (0,09) (0,034;0,16) x 109/l (p=0,034)). The results of ROC-analysis have shown that the most optimal cut-off threshold of CD8+ T-lymphocytes level in immune-mediated graft dysfunction diagnostics in the late post-transplant period is 0,1882x109/l; sensitivity and specifcity in this case being 73,33 (95%; 44,9-92,0) and 96,55 (95%; 82,2-99,4) respectively. Conclusions. The increase of terminally differentiated effector CD8+ T-lymphocytes absolute number has diagnostic importance in patients with immune-mediated graft dysfunction in the late post-transplant period. High sensitivity and specifcity of cut-off threshold of CD8+ Temra lymphocytes absolute number in patients after liver transplantation as well as reliable difference between cell number in patients with normal postoperative period and in patients with immune-mediated graft dysfunction allow considering T-lymphocyte subpopulation as a rejection predictor in the late post-transplant period. The correlation between CD8+ T-lymphocyte absolute number and the results of histological examination makes the former an alternative and, what is more, safe noninvasive method in early diagnostics of liver graft rejection.","PeriodicalId":34878,"journal":{"name":"Gepatologiia i gastroenterologiia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69173092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monitoring of enteric viruses in wastewater is a new epidemiological approach allowing to detect the intensity of their circulation in humans. The aim of the study is to conduct and analyze parallel monitoring studies of wastewater and biological material from patients with acute viral intestinal infections (AEI) selected from different regions of the Republic of Belarus in terms of their actual pathogens. Material and methods. 403 samples of wastewater and 381 samples of feces from patients with AEI, collected in different regions of Belarus, were examined by real-time PCR. Results. In patients with AEI, rotaviruses A (20,4%) and noroviruses of the genogroup 2 (10,2%) were most often detected, while adenoviruses F (2,2%), enteroviruses (0,8%) and noroviruses 1 (0,3%) were found quite rarely. Adenoviruses F (25,9%), rotaviruses A (18,4%) and enteroviruses (13,4%) dominated in wastewater samples while noroviruses 2 (6,8%) and noroviruses 1 were detected much less frequently (1,5%).
