Abstract
The field of immunology is one of the most rapidly growing areas of scientific experimental and clinical research. Foundations of immunology lay in molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, molecular biotechnology, molecular genetics and clinical medicine. In many countries, including Slovenia, rheumatology covers systemic autoimmune diseases. We have been involved in these studies for more than 15 years. Our recent program deals with three diseases in which the disturbances in humoral immunity play at least a very important if not a crucial role in the pathogenesis of the diseases. The program integrates a/clinical and laboratory research of antiphospholipid syndrome and antiphospholipid antibodies, b/clinical studies of Sjoegren's syndrome with special emphasise on salivary glands together with the detection of antibodies against sinthetic peptides of muscarinic acethylcholine receptors, c/the epidemiological study of arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis with the studies of functional characteristics of small and middle size artery walls.
Significance for science
Autoimmunity, inflammation, atherosclerosis and thrombosis, are of high priority in the developed countries. The pathogenesis of each of them has been extensively studied in the last two decades. They are frequently associated with systemic autoimmune diseases mainly managed by rheumatologists. However, the interrelations of these processes are still insufficiently understood. Research results contributed to the understanding of the association of studied diseases and represent the basis for future research.
Significance for the country
The role of the program concerning Slovenia’s socio-economic importance include: - the development of the discipline (rheumatology and internal medicine); - the improvement of the technical level of research (introducing or using new techniques available elsewhere in Slovenia and worldwide); - the improvement of diagnostic methods for autoimmune diseases; - the education of specific knowledge in autoimmunity; - the overall improvement of health status and quality of life in Slovenia.
