Aims: To follow the IFNγ receptor expression on monocytes and granulocytes of cardiac surgical patients with respect to the type of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Expression of IFNγ receptor on monocytes and granulocytes of 26 cardiac surgical patients operated with the use of either "standard" or "miniaturised" CPB was determined by flow cytometry. Results: The significant increase in IFNγ receptor expression on monocytes on the 1(st) and on the 3(rd) postoperative days was revealed in both groups of patients (p<0.001) irrespective of the type of CPB used, being non-significantly different between groups. In contrast, the expression of IFNγ on granulocytes displayed significant differences in terms of the CPB used. Whereas, in "standard" CPB patients, granulocyte INFγ receptor expression reached its maximum immediately after surgery (p<0.01), in "miniivasive" CPB patients, the peak in INFγ receptor expression was postponed to the 1(st) postoperative day (p<0.05). Statistically significantly higher IFNγ receptor expression on granulocytes was found in "standard" CPB patients (p<0.05). Conclusion: Compared to "miniaturised" CPB patients, the significantly higher IFNγ receptor expression on granulocytes was found in "standard" CPB patients (p<0.05) on the 1(st) postoperative day.

We evaluated the influence of methylprednisolone in cardiopulmonary bypass fluid on scavenger receptor for hemoglobin CD163 molecule expression on monocytes of patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass with either exposure to methylprednisolone present in the cardiopulmonary bypass fluid (20 patients), or without methylprednisolone in the cardiopulmonary bypass fluid (22 patients) and operated on without cardiopulmonary bypass (42 patients). The dynamics of CD163 expression was also followed in patients operated on without cardiopulmonary bypass. This study was a retrospective analysis of a comparison of two studies. The expression of CD163 was determined quantitatively by standardized flow cytometry technique. The similarities in the dynamics of CD163 monocyte expression, comparing the patients operated on with or without cardiopulmonary bypass, were found. Compared to the preoperative level, CD163 monocyte expression was significantly elevated on the 1(st) postoperative day. Monocyte CD163 expression on the 1(st) postoperative day was evidently similar in both groups of patients operated without cardiopulmonary bypass (median value of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) 18,896; interquartile range from 27,538 to 57,711; median value of MFI 18,863; interquartile range from 16,514 to 26,559; n.s.), suggesting high reproducibility of our flow cytometric method; the monocyte CD163 expression was significantly higher (median value of MFI 37,902; interquartile range from 27,538 to 57,711) on the 1(st) postoperative day in patients exposed to methylprednisolone compared to patients without this exposure (median value of MFI 20,995; interquartile range from 16,321 to 29,623) (p<0.001). We concluded that the expression of hemoglobin scavenger receptor CD163 on monocytes of cardiac surgical patients is induced by methylprednisolone present in cardiopulmonary bypass fluid.

Expression of ZAP-70 measured by flow cytometry belongs to the most powerful prognostic parameters in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, many technical factors such as setting of the positivity threshold may significantly influence results.. Quantification using mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) may eliminate the subjective error which is inevitable in the isotype control method. The aim of the present project was therefore to assess the prognostic significance of ZAP-70 using three different methods. Between 2005 and 2010 we measured ZAP-70 expression in 157 patients with CLL (108 males, 49 females, median age 60 years [range, 31-82]; low/intermediate/high Rai risk in 41/48/11%). Expression of ZAP-70 was determined by flow cytometry using phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated monoclonal antibody, clone 1E7.2. Evaluation was performed by 1) percentage of positive cells compared to isotype control (cut-off 20%), 2) MFI ratio of T-cells/CLL cells (cut-off 3.0); 3) MFI ratio of ZAP-70/isotype control on CLL cells (cut-off 2.5). MFI method with T-cells/CLL cells ratio was the best in the identification of patients with unfavourable outcome: ZAP-70 positive patients had significantly shorter time to treatment (TTT, median 24 vs. 55 months, p=0.0001) and overall survival (OS, median 97 vs 174 months, p=0.0074). The differences in TTT a OS were not significant with the use of isotype percentage and MFI isotype methods. Combined analysis of ZAP-70 with CD38 expression or IgVH mutation status lead to identification of a subgroup with the longest TTT and OS (ZAP-70 and CD38 negative, p<0.0001 and p=0.012; ZAP-70 negative and mutated IgVH genes, p<0.0001 and p=0.0019). In conclusion, our results suggest that measurement of ZAP-70 expression in CLL by MFI using T-cells/CLL cells ratio might be the optimal method for accurate prediction of clinical course. Combined analysis of ZAP-70 with CD38 or IgVH mutation status further refined individual patient´s prognosis.
