[Where intestinal epithelial stem cells are localized? About molecular markers].

Using stem cells as an example the review considers a new history and methodology of search for stem cells (SC), found in tissues of adult Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster organisms. These studies of SC resulted in several original hypotheses explaining their unusual features. Impressive progress recently achieved in this direction (2008-2010) is associated with employment of new methods of somatic recombination for long-term registration of various strains of differentiated cells, early and distant SC progeny.

[Survival/death modifiers of intestine epithelium stem cells and thanatological mechanisms].

Till now the thanatological mechanisms that regulated the proliferation and the clearance of the stem cells (SC) in fast renewal systems of organism--intestinal epithelium remain insufficiently investigated as in haematopoietic system too. The relevance of such researches is supported by an essential role of these mechanisms in pathogenesis of widely widespread inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases. In particular inhibition/disregulation of elimination for the "undesirable", mutant cells leaving from under immune and own control is one of the reasons for neoplastic cell expansion.

[The influence of some retarding agents NOS of dihydrothiazine-thiazoline rank on postradiational of recovery endogenous CFU-S-8 of mice].

In this work the attempt to estimate a nitric oxide (NO*) role in regulation of the number of pool haemopoietic stem cells at the irradiated mice was made. With this purpose the number of new compounds from dihydrothiazine-thiazoline line was synthesized, their NO-inhibiting activity was investigated in vivo by the method of ESR-spectroscopy of spin trap and their influence on an output endogenous spleen colonies (CFU-S-8) after the total sublethal y-irradiation of mice in a doze of 6 Gy was also investigated. Was shown, that the tested compounds reduced the contents of NO* in a liver tissue of mice which have received an injection of nitric oxide synthesis inductor - lipopolysaccharide, and also increased an output CFU-S-8 forming endogenous colonies in the spleen of the irradiated mice.

[NO-inhibiting activity of radioprotectors].

The effect of radioprotectors of different structure on the syntheses of nitric oxide induced by endotoxin in mice was studied. Using ESR-spectroscopy and spin trap techniques, it was shown that compounds of different chemical structure, such as aminothiols, isothiuronium derivatives, thiazolines, indolylalkylamines and others, suppressed the nitric oxide production in a whole body. The analysis of the relevant literature has confirmed the phenomenon described by the authors: radioprotectors show NO-inhibiting activity.

[Evaluation of cell membrane permeability for Ca2+ and adenylate cyclase in sheep peripheral blood cells, exposed to low doses of radiation].

Chronic irradiation of sheep with doses of 2.6 and 12.9 mC.

[Experimental assessment of the cardiovascular system functional state in rats after chronic gamma-irradiation in various absorbed doses].

Prolonged anthenatal gamma-irradiation of rats with total doses of 1.25; 1.9 and 2.

[Pharmacological and radioprotective properties of some gamma-pyrone derivatives (flavanones and flavanols)].

In experiments set up on mice, rats and guinea pigs 8 gamma-pyron derivatives were studied. They proved to be little toxic, do not change significantly the arterial pressure and respiration, exercise a depressing action on the central nervous system, produce a marked antiphlogistic (normal and irradiated animals), radio-protective and antihistaminic effects and influence norephinephrine, homovanillic acid and dopamine metabolism in the brain.
