One month later, treatment with liposome-encapsulated dextrazide (LEDZ, a conjugate of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) and 40 kDa oxidized dextran encapsulated in phosphatidylcholine liposomes), INH, or a combination of LEDZ with INH was started. The doses of LEDZ (liposome suspension) and INH were 0.025 ml/10 g body weight and 5 mg/kg body weight, respectively. All the substances were administered 2 times a week via inhalation or intraperitoneally (a total of 40 doses). We studied the number and the size of tuberculous granulomas, the size of destruction foci and inflammatory infiltrates in the lungs and liver, the amount of fibrous connective tissue, and the dynamic of these parameters. LEDZ+INH inhalations were most effective by the therapeutic ratios in comparison with inhalation and intraperitoneal injections of INH.Transcription profiles of genes of local immune response were determined in the vagina of women with bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, and vulvovaginal candidosis for detection of the most specific immune markers for these vaginal infections. Laboratory diagnosis of the vaginal infections was performed microscopically; the inflammatory reaction in the vagina (leukorrhea) was defined as the presence of >10 white blood cells per field of view. Transcription profiles of IL1b, IL10, IL18, TNFα, TLR4, GATA3, and CD68 were determined using reverse-transcription quantitative real-time PCR. The strongest predictors of aerobic vaginitis were increased levels of IL1b and IL10 mRNA. Bacterial vaginosis was strongly associated with reduced levels of IL18 and GATA3 mRNA. Increased levels of IL1b and TLR4 transcripts showed significant discriminatory power for vulvovaginal candidosis and leukorrhea. The results of this study suggest differential expression of local immune response genes in the va
