Особенности аутофагии в цитоплазме эндотелиоцитов кровеносных капилляров при тяжелой ожоговой септикотоксемии

Abstract

Burn injury and its consequences are an important medical and social problem, given the high mortality and disability rates. The leading cause of death in patients with extensive and deep burns is burn septicotoxemia. Material and methods . The material was the heart muscle of the anterior, posterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle of those who died from burn disease during septicotoxemia. The control group included cases of male mortality as a result of “acute coronary death”. The study of the ultrastructure of endotheliocytes of blood capillaries of the myocardium has been carried out. Results and discussion. Ultrastructural analysis of endotheliocytes of blood capillaries of the myocardium showed that in burn septicotoxemia, intracellular degradation processes are observed in the form of swelling of the cytoplasm and organelles, a decrease in the concentration of vesicular structures, as well as activation of autophagy due to the appearance of autophagosomes and autolysosomes in the cytoplasm. Activation of autophagy should be considered as a naturally developing compensatory reaction aimed at preserving the cellular pool of endotheliocytes of the blood capillaries of the myocardium in response to the alterative effect caused by burn septicotoxemia. Conclusion. The obtained data can serve as a justification for the manifestation of left ventricular contractile insufficiency, which is a consequence of endothelial dysfunction and microcirculatory disorders in the myocardium in burn septicotoxemia.
