THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FUNCTIONAL AND ETIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC FOR TREATMENT STRATEGY DECISION IN PATIENTS WITH DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY by Yu. V. Frolova

“…We performed blood PCR analysis in all the patients: Genome of herpes simplex virus type 1 was reported in 14 (9%), type 2 — in 7 (4%), type 6 — in 12 (8%) patients; of cytomegalovirus — in 20 (13%), of Epstein-Barr virus — in 24 (15%), of parvovirus B19 — in 29 (19%); we performed morphological study of the myocardium to detect cardiotropic viruses genome in 66 patients: genome of herpes simplex virus type 6 was found in 13 (23%), of cytomegalovirus — in 7 (12%), of Epstein-Barr virus — in 9 (15%), of parvovirus B19 — in 24 (42%). Depending on etiological factors, initial functional state of the patient as well as the severity of valvular regurgitation and the degree of interventricular dyssynchrony, 24 patients were implanted with cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and 38 patients — with cardiac resynchronization therapy with cardioverter defibrillator function (CRT-D): in total, 62 patients with DCM; 24 patients underwent organ conserving reverse cardiac remodeling; orthotopic heart transplantation was performed in 13 patients; conservative treatment group consisted of 57 patients with DCM for whom surgical treatment was not recommended or impossible at the moment of the examination. …”

Structure and function of A41, a vaccinia virus chemokine binding protein. by Mohammad W Bahar, Julia C Kenyon, Mike M Putz, Nicola G A Abrescia, James E Pease, Emma L Wise, David I Stuart, Geoffrey L Smith, Jonathan M Grimes

“…The biological and structural data suggest that A41 functions by forming moderately strong (nM) interactions with certain chemokines, sufficient to interfere with chemokine-glycosaminoglycan interactions at the cell surface (microM-nM) and thereby to destroy the chemokine concentration gradient, but not strong enough to disrupt the (pM) chemokine-chemokine receptor interactions.…”
