Abstract

In recent years, the role of sluggish nonspecific inflammation in the pathogenesis of hypertension has been proven. Oxidative stress that develops in hypertension leads to damage of endothelial glycocalyx with impaired barrier and adaptive functions of endothelium. Activation of transcription factor NF-kB leads to increased synthesis of free oxygen radicals, adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1, P-selectin, E-selectin) and proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1, IL-6), triggering the inflammatory process in the endothelium. Modern antihypertensive drugs, affecting various pathogenetic mechanisms of arterial hypertension development, do not fully affect the immune component of arterial hypertension. Therefore, the search for various methods affecting the immunologic reactivity of hypertensive patients remains relevant in our time.

The aim of the study was to reveal the effect of interval hypoxytherapy on the state of immunologic reactivity of patients with hypertension stage I.

One hundred seventy male patients of 30-45 years old (mean age 38.36±1.64 years) with hypertension stage I (n = 170) who underwent combined treatment including drug therapy and normobaric interval hypoxic therapy in hypoxia-normoxia mode (oxygen content in hypoxic gas mixture was 20.9%) were examined. Indices of redox status and immunologic reactivity before and after interval hypoxytherapy were studied.

Having a significant antioxidant effect, interval hypoxytherapy led to the subsidence of oxidative stress, which was indicated by an increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in blood erythrocytes and a decrease in the content of malonic dialdehyde in blood as a result of a decrease in the generation of free oxygen radicals and suppression of lipid peroxidation processes. Interval hypoxytherapy resulted in a statistically significant increase in the initially decreased content of CD3+T lymphocytes (p < 0.05), CD3+CD4+T lymphocytes (p < 0.02), CD3+CD8+T lymphocytes (p < 0.02). Initially increased number of B-lymphocytes CD19+, CD16+ lymphocytes, CD95+ lymphocytes significantly decreased. An important result of interval hypoxytherapy was a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect: statistically significant decrease in the content of pro-inflammatory interleukins IL-1β (p < 0.02), IL-6 (p < 0.01) and increase in the content of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 (p < 0.005) and IL-10 (p < 0.005), which led to the subsidence of sluggish nonspecific inflammation.

Suppression of oxidative stress and normalization of immunological reactivity of hypertensive patients after interval hypoxytherapy led to the subsidence of sluggish nonspecific inflammation, reduction of endothelial dysfunction and restoration of the structure and tone of the vascular wall with a decrease in blood pressure and improvement of the clinical course of hypertension.
