Abstract
This study assessed the efficacy of an Ammodaucus leucotrichus seed extract to treat rheumatoid arthritis in rat models of this disease. Rheumatoid arthritis was induced in rats using two methods: immunization with 100 µL of Complete Freund Adjuvant (CFA) and immunization with 100 µL of a 3 mg/ml solution of type II collagen (CII) from chicken cartilage. The therapeutic potential of the extract was assessed at different doses (150, 300, and 600 mg/kg/day for 21 days in the CII-induced arthritis model and for 14 days in the CFA-induced arthritis model) and compared with methotrexate (MTX; 0.2 mg/kg for the same periods), a commonly used drug for rheumatoid arthritis treatment in humans. In both models (CII-induced arthritis and CFA-induced arthritis), walking distance, step length, intra-step distance and footprint area were improved following treatment with the A. leucotrichus seed extract (all concentrations) and MTX compared with untreated animals. Both treatments increased the serum concentration of glutathione and reduced that of complement C3, malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase. Radiographic data and histological analysis indicated that cartilage destruction was reduced already with the lowest dose of the extract (100 mg/kg/dose) in both models. These results show the substantial antiarthritic potential of the A. leucotrichus seed extract, even at the lowest dose, suggesting that it may be a promising alternative therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and joint inflammation. They also emphasize its efficacy at various doses, providing impetus for more research on this extract as a potential therapeutic agent for arthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, leukocyte elastase, α1-proteinase inhibitor, autoantibodies to neuroantigens in the blood of patients with adolescent depression with clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) and to study the relation of these biological markers to the features of psychopathological symptomatology of the patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty young adults, aged 16-24 years, with the first depressive episode (F32.1-2, F32.38, F32.8) were studied. Based on the presence of attenuated positive symptoms in the structure of depression, all patients were divided into two groups: with CHR-P (clinical group, n=58) and without CHR-P (comparative group, n=22). The HDRS-21, SOPS, and SANS were used for psychometric assessment of the patients. Serum levels of cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Leukocyte elastase (LE) activity, α1-proteinase inhibitor (α1-PI) activity, and plasma levels of autoantibodies to S100B protein and myelin basic protein (MBP) were assessed. RESULTS Both groups of patients were characterized by the high levels of inflammation as assessed by LE (250.5 (226.2-280.8) nmol/min·ml vs 248.3 (226.8-284.5) nmol/min·ml) and α1-PI activity (44.4 (37.5-50.1) IE/ml vs 45.2 (36.4-49.9) IE/ml). Higher levels (p<0.05) of IL-6 (1.22 (0.64-2.2) pg/ml), CRP (0.93 (0.18-3.18) mg/l), and TNF-α/IL-10 (0.34 (0.2-0.47)) were detected in the group with CHR-P. This group was also characterized by higher levels of antibodies to the S100B protein 0.78 (0.69-0.84 units of opt.density) compared with the group without CRH-P (p<0.05). In each clinical group, different correlations between clinical, psychometric and biological parameters were revealed. CONCLUSIONS The results confirm the involvement of inflammation in the development of depression in youth and indicate a different role of the inflammatory markers analyzed in the formation of CHR-P. The differences in the spectrum of inflammatory markers in depressed patients suggest a more pronounced pro-inflammatory potential in the group with CHR-P.
