Article Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of mortality worldwide. The results of various studies have shown that abnormality in the frequency and function of blood cells can be involved in CVD complications. In this review, we have focused on abnormalities in the expression of the CD (cluster of differentiation) markers of blood cells to assess the association of these abnormalities with CVD prognosis.
Methods: We identified the relevant literature through a PubMed search (1990-2018) of English-language articles using the terms "Cardiovascular diseases", "CD markers", "leukocytes", "platelets", and "endothelial cells".
Results: There is a variety of mechanisms for the effect of CD-marker expressions on CVDs prognosis, ranging from proinflammatory processes to dysfunctional effects in blood cells.
Conclusion: Considering the possible effects of CD-marker expression on CVDs prognosis, particularly prognosis of acute myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis, long-term studies in large cohorts are required to identify the prognostic value of CD markers and to target them with appropriate therapeutic agents.

Exploring the effect of short-term exposure to non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles on selected chromatin determinants in human immune cells and plasmid DNA integrity.

The effect of non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with diameters of 29, 44, and 72 nm on plasmid DNA integrity and the expression of genes involved in the architecture of chromatin was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The cells were incubated with PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 100 µg/mL for 24 hours.

In the past decades, several authors have investigated the possibility that genome size is correlated with metabolic rates, obtaining conflicting results. The main biological explanation among the supporters of this correlation was related to the nucleotypic effect of the genome size, which, determining the cellular volume and hence the surface area-to-volume ratio, influences cellular metabolism. In the present study, I tested a different hypothesis: genome size, influencing red blood cell (RBC) volume, is correlated with capillary density and diameter.

Unlabelled: Piperacillin/tazobactam (PTZ) is known to cause cytopenia but case reports on PTZ causing combined haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia are scarce. We report on a 56-year-old male who developed severe, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and anaemia during two treatment episodes with PTZ. After the first exposure, his blood count rapidly returned to normal after discontinuation of PTZ.

Unlabelled: Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is caused by antibody-mediated destruction of red blood cells. There are two broad categories of AIHA: warm and cold, both categorized by the thermal reactivity of the autoantibodies. Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) occurs at temperatures below normal body temperature and primarily involves IgM antibodies.

Background: Sepsis is characterized by profound immune and metabolic perturbations, with glycolysis serving as a pivotal modulator of immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms linking glycolytic reprogramming to immune dysfunction remain poorly defined.
Methods: Transcriptomic profiles of sepsis were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus.
