(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Superson, Maciej; Szmyt, Katarzyna; Szymańska, Katarzyna; Walczak, Kamil; Wnorowski, Jeremi; Zarębski, Łukasz
Introduction. Recently, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become powerful human therapeutics in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Drugs based on mAbs are approved for the treatment of cardiovascular, respiratory, hematology, autoimmunology, and oncology diseases. Aim. To present the current state of knowledge about the application of mAbs in the therapy of various diseases such as cancer, autoimmune and Alzheimer’s diseases. Material and methods. We conducted a thorough review of the scientific literature from the following databases: EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer Link. Results. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved more than 50 therapeutic mAbs which are applied in various clinical trials. Action of mAb are based on various mechanisms, including directly targeting the cells, modifying the host response, recognizing and degrading molecules as well as delivering cytotoxic moieties. Conclusion. Despite some limitations including side effects, and therapeutic challenges, monoclonal antibodies are an attractive option for the development of new therapies and molecular drug targets against a wide range of common diseases due to their specificity and flexibility. MAbs are considered as a great hope for medicine, and effective and safe drugs in the treatment of various diseases.
Inflammatory bowel disease: clinical aspects
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease is a complex disease which arises as a result of an interaction between environmental and genetic factors leading to immunological responses and inflammation in the intestine. Aim. To review medical approaches used in inflammatory bowel disorders. Materials and methods. An analysis of literature regarding inflammatory bowel diseases, Leśniowski-Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and mataloproteinases. Results. Current evidence suggests that patients with inflammatory bowel disease may have an elevated risk of endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades, great advances have been made in our understanding of the interplay between the inflammatory bowel disease. Conclusions. Inflammatory bowel diseases are increasing in Europe. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by biopsies on colonoscopy.
