[Multiple sclerosis and melanoma]

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, mainly in young people. The clinical picture of MS has a variety of neurological symptoms, which manifests itself during periods of exacerbation or progression and stabilizes at the moments of remission. The widespread introduction of new drugs with immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory mechanisms of action has led to the development of special risk management plans for monitoring patients during therapy and preventing adverse events and new comorbid conditions. This article presents a review of the literature and a case report on the combination of MS and melanoma in patients. Melanoma can rarely develop in patients treated with DMD, so it is necessary to introduce such a specialist in dermatology and venereology into a multidisciplinary team.

[The role of mitochondria in pathological mechanisms of innate immunity in multiple]

The review discusses the role of mitochondria in multiple sclerosis (MS). Previously, damage to the mitochondria was regarded as a manifestation of secondary damage to axons and neurons, i.e. as a marker of neurodenegation. Recently, the role of mitochondria in the early stages of MS development, when they could participate in the activation of innate immunity and trigger activation of autoimmune responses of acquired immunity, has been increasingly discussed. The role of polymorphism mitochondrial DNA changes in MS is discussed.

[Norepinephrine and intestinal microbiome in the early stages of demyelination: clinical-immunological parallels]

Biogenic amines are key mediators of neuroimmune interaction and may influence on multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis and MS course. At the same time, the role of biogenic amines in immunoregulation of early stages of demyelination, in particular clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is still unclear. This literature review addresses a role of norepinephrine in the regulation of neuroimmune interactions in the early stages of the demyelination. Neuropsychological disorders, immunological characteristics, gut-brain axis as well as the role of norepinephrine in these interactions in patients with CIS, RIS and early MS are discussed.
