[Liver and Its Lymph Region at Benzo[a]pyrene Effects in an Experiment].

Background: Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is the widespread environmental toxicant with carcinogenic activity. BaP undergoes metabolic activation in the liver microsomal monooxygenase system, and its regional lymph nodes act as peripheral filters, purifying lymph formed in the liver. It remains an open question about the significance of the integral liver and lymphatic system work in supporting processes of adaptation and resistance to the BaP effects.

[Micro- and ultrastructural characteristics of liver and nuclear endonuclease activity in hepatocytes after the combined exposure to industrial frequency magnetic field and continuous illumination].

The effects of combined action of the industrial frequency magnetic field (MF) and continuous illumination (CI) on microcirculation, ultrastructural features of liver cells and apoptosis were studied in Wistar rats (n=56). It was found that in the liver of rats exposed to MF, CI and CI+MF for 14 days, parenchyma relative area was reduced, and that occupied by the sinusoidal capillaries was increased together with the liver vascularization coefficient. Combined exposure resulted in most pronounced ultrastructural changes (plasma membrane lysis in hepatocytes and endothelial cells, doubling of osmiophilic layers in tight intercellular junctions).

[Morphological criteria of the state of the microcirculation and the lymphatic drainage in the synovial membrane of the knee joint under normal and pathological conditions].

Using transmission electron microscopy, the ultrastructural organization of the endothelium of blood and lymphatic capillaries and the structures of the interstitium of synovial membrane were studied in the patients with osteoarthrosis of a knee joint of I-II and II-III stages. Material, obtained from the patients with traumatic lesions of the knee joint components, was used as a control. The structural signs indicative of the microcirculation and lymphatic drainage disturbances were detected in the synovial membrane and were most expressed in II-III stages of osteoarthrosis.

[Preclinical toxicological study of the new enterosorbent noolit].

The safety of the new enterosorbent noolit has been evaluated within the framework of its preclinical characterization. Single introduction of noolit to rats and mice (females and males) in maximum doses for intragastric administration (5.0 - 20.

[Sanatorium rehabilitation of patients with chronic prostatitis].

A total of 75 males from married couples with circulatory prostatitis aged 19-47 were examined and treated in Barnaulsky sanatorium. The patients were trained by walking with the load power 80-110 W for 2.5 to 3 hours.

[Mesenteric lymph nodes in the newborns with inflammatory and non-inflammatory abdominal diseases].

Light microscopy was used to study mesenteric lymph nodes in 46 neonatal infants who had died from small bowel atresia, inflammatory abdominal processes and diseases. There were no lymphoid follicles with germinative centers in the mesenteric lymph nodes of all neonatal infants, which seemed to result from the lack of antigenic stimulation during intrauterine development. Medullary substance malformation in the lymph nodes promotes the occurrence of inflammation in the region of their lymph collection and favors the progression and generalization of a pathological process.

[Lymphatic system and water homeostasis].

Using the methods of light and electron microscopy as well as histochemistry, the complex study of structural-cellular state of the wall of small intestine and its grouped lymphoid nodules, mesenterial and iliac lymph nodes and thymus was performed in rats subjected to the changes of a type of drinking water. Tap, distilled and radon waters were used. The organism was found to respond to the changes in the type of drinking water by both non-specific (increase in sectional area of lymphatic vessels and the number of eosinophilic granulocytes in the wall of small intestine, in lymphoid nodule number containing germinal centers in lymph nodes, in proportion of thymus connective tissue component, increased lymphocyte dehydrogenase activity) and specific reactions, which were characteristic only to a given type of water.

[Regional lymphatic drainage and lymphodetoxication].

Drainage and detoxication functions of lymphatic system at regional level are discussed. Lymphodetoxication is regarded as a unity of biophysical, biochemical and immune actions upon the lymph in lymphoid structures of an anatomical region. Regional lymphatic drainage is considered as a three-component mechanism, that includes interstitial pathways of non-vascular microcirculation, regional lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.

[Effect of the enteric sorbent noolit on the psychoemotional status in mice].

The enterosorbent noolit (representing a mineral matrix base with immobilized lithium and silicon compounds) significantly affects the psychoemotional state of mice with depression model induced by prolonged social emotional stress. Noolit administration produces a pronounced anxiolytic and antidepressant effect and reduced the level of behavioral deficiency in the test animals.

[Morphological changes of lymphatic system in patients with the lymphedema of lower extremities].

Morphological changes in inguinal lymph nodes, lymphatic collector and subcutaneous space were studied up in patients with the lower extremities lymphoedema. While the lower extremities lymphoedema occurs in inguinal lymph nodes the connective tissues spreading in two variants is observed. In the first one fibroblasts and collagen fibres appears in medullar substance (chordae medullaris and medullar sinuses) and in the second the sclerosis process begins from cortical plateau and paracortical zone.

[The ultrastructural changes in the cellular lining of lymph node sinuses in organochlorine pesticide poisoning].

In conditions of exotoxicosis arising after the effect of 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid cytoplasmic cells of littoral cells of marginal and medullary sinuses undergo alike changes and their cell organelles (rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, micropinocytotic vesicles and mitochondria) mass is reduced. These changes are more pronounced in littoral cells of marginal sinus when the dos under the effect of 4 permissible doses of the poison. Intensity of intracellular structures reaction to the toxicant action depends on the cell localization on the lymph passage insid within the lymph node (marginal or medullar sinuses).

[The artificial lymph node].

Adsorption of lymphocytes on the sorbents in correction of inflammatory lesions has significant clinical perspectives as the cells and active biological substances they secrete function actively in inflamed tissues acting in the site of its application: every cell adsorbs and inactivates foreign substances, every cytokin affects certain target cells. The products of these cells functioning and dissociation as well as the products of immune system reaction to them remain on the sorbent and are eliminated together with granules during bandaging or by the end of the treatment thus do not entering the organism. Lymphocytic monolayer on the sorbent does not prevent its specific action in pathologic nidus.

[The state of the lymphatic system in inflammation of the internal sexual organs].

In conditions of experimental inflammation of internal sexual organs in female rats fast and adequate reorganization of its lymphatic bed was found. In the nidus of inflammation sufficient drainage of tissues was retained. Loose and widened sinuses of ileal lymph nodes provided sufficient intranodal lymphodynamics.

[The valves of the marginal sinus of the lymph nodes].

Popliteal lymph nodes of male Wistar rats were studied in scanning regime of electron microscope. On the base of the data obtained it is concluded that on the lymph node surface and in the thickness of a capsule afferent lymphatic vessels branch into thin rami supplied with valves from the inside of the capsule in the site of falling into marginal sinus. Valvular apparatus found obviously gives possibility to regulate lymph flow in the lymph node.

[The structural organization of the regional lymph nodes of the heart in the acute period of experimental myocardial ischemia].

Anterior mediastinal and popliteal lymph nodes were studied morphologically and cytologically in male Wistar line rats in an acute period of experimental ischemia resulting from ligation of the left coronary artery. Three stages of structural-functional changes were demonstrated. In first stage increase of cortical substance square, widening of intermediate sinuses and macrophage number increase in all lymph node zones were observed in both groups after ligation of the artery.

[Lymphogenic introduction into lesser circulation of orally administered rifampicin in standard and liposomal forms].

Pharmacokinetics of water and liposomal suspensions of lipophilic antibiotic rifampicin introduced intragastrically through a tube was studied in experiments on Wistar rats. After administration of water suspension rifampicin concentration reached its peak in all the tissues in 3 hours, lung concentration being 1.6 and 1.

[Healing effects of several ecological exposure factors on the lymphatic system].

The structural and functional responses of lymph nodes to environmental influences have common stereotypic features; however, they can vary with the nature of an influencing factor and the functional specialization of the lymph node. In this view, the morphological and functional status of lymph nodes can be regarded as markers of environmental impact on the lymphatic system. Approaches to correcting blood and lymph circulation have been developed via combined exposure of the body's internal environment to sorbent therapy, balneological procedures at the Siberian resorts, biological flavonoids, and derivatives of Siberian raw plant materials.

[Changes in the hepatocytes of adult male rats subjected to the action of 3,4-benzopyrene at different periods of ontogeny].

The effects of benzpyrene (BP) were studied in 32 male Wistar rats. Treatment of intact mature animals with benzpyrene causes transformations of hepatocytes. Antenatal treatment with BP initiates a complex of compensatory-adaptational reactions in the liver of progeny and the effect retains at the postnatal period.

[The transport of colloidal gold-labelled albumin after its intra-abdominal administration in peritonitis].

We studied transportation of the colloidal gold labelled albumin 0.5-24 hours after intraabdominal administration of the tracer in normal rabbits and rabbits with experimental diffuse peritonitis (total 24 rabbits). Evacuation of foreign protein goes through the mesothelial stomata to the lymphatic vessels of diaphragm and further to the mediastinal lymph nodes.
