The paper presents results of clinical and laboratory investigation of 106 patients with chronic brain ischemia (CBI) I—II stages, included detection levels of circulating desquamated endothelial cells, endothelin-1, autoantibodies to encephalitogenic protein, neuron-specific enolase and protein S100. Reliable changes of immune status as well as signs of endothelium dysfunction progressed with stage of CBI. Direct correlation between intensity of endothelium dysfunction and activity of neurodegererative process in brain was revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
