Ontogenetic variations of proteins in neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus of rats' hypothalamus under a modified light regime.

Proteins can be key biochemical markers for evaluating the functional activity of nervous system cells. They are involved in the proliferation and differentiation of nerve and glial cells and the arrangement of many metabolic functions of the brain. This study aimed to analyze the concentration of proteins in the neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus (LPON) of the hypothalamus in mature and old rats under standard and altered lighting conditions.

The use of hydrolyzed formulas as a method of correction of feeding and clinical rehabilitation of infants with atopy signs.

Our study showed that in formula-fed babies, the use of mixture X (containing 2'-FL (2'-fucosyllactose) - a type of milk oligosaccharide, as well as carefully studied Bifidobacterium lactis, DHA, ARA, and nucleotides) as the main product for feeding could ensure children's body with all the necessary nutrients. Furthermore, it can minimize the progression of clinical signs of atopic dermatitis and reduce the use of drugs. In addition, there was an improvement in height and weight parameters, proportional development of the child (p<0.

Management of antibacterial therapy of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract in children and regional peculiarities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain an urgent issue in clinical pediatrics. Empirical selection of antibacterial therapy becomes more complicated, and antibacterial drug indication is not always clinically substantiated. This study aimed to compare the antibacterial susceptibility pattern of the main group of urinary tract infectious agents from 2009-2016 with intermediate results from 2020-2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, among children in the Chernivtsi region.

Morphohistochemical alterations of neurons of the supraoptic nucleus of the rat hypothalamus at different durations of the photoperiod and melatonin administration.

We studied the morphologic and histochemical organization of neurons of the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus in rats exposed to different durations of photoperiod and injection of melatonin. Morphometric and histochemical analyses of neurons were performed after staining brain histological sections for RNA. Prolonged illumination leads to more pronounced changes in the parameters of hypothalamic structures at 2 a.

CHANGES OF PROTEINURIA AND ACID-REGULATING KIDNEY FUNCTION IN MATURE RATS WITH SLOW AND RAPID ACETYLATION TYPE UNDER CONDITIONS OF SUBACUTE CADMIUM-NITRATE INTOXICATION.

The experiments conducted on non-linear mature laboratory albino rats determined that under conditions of subacute cadmium-nitrate intoxication the indices of proteinuria and acid-regulating renal function depend on acetylation phenotype. Unlike rapid acetylators considerable increase of protein concentration in urine (192,8%, р<0,05) and standardized by glomerular filtration protein excretion (141,7%, р<0,05) are indicative of higher susceptibility of rats with slow acetylation type to nephrotoxic action of cadmium chloride and sodium nitrate. Lack of protein loss with urine and adaptive-compensative character of acid-regulating renal function changes directed to elimination of hydrogen ions excess from the body give evidence concerning less intensive damage of the nephron tubular portion in rats with rapid acetylation type, and at the same time do not exclude development of nephropathy.
