[Study of the dynamics of endogenous IL-6 in the culture erythroblastic islands].

It is found that in the process of cultivating the erythroblastic islets (EI) of rat bone marrow, the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) increases in the culture medium. Stimulating erythropoiesis was observed on the 48th hour in cultures, the stimulation was characterized by the growth of endogenous erythropoietin and activation of formation of EI de novo and de repeto. The continuing increase in the concentration of IL-6 in the cultures at the 72nd hour of the experiment was accompanied by a decrease formation of islands de novo and a decrease in the absolute number of EI in culture.

[Studying of the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in regulation of erythropoiesis in erythroblastic islands cultures].

An elevated level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in a cultural system of bone marrow erythroblastic islands was found. It was associated with the suppressed formation of erythroblastic islands de repeto in 24-hr cultures. In 48-hr cultures, an increased level of erythropoietin and intensive formation of erythroblastic islands de repeto and de novo was found.

It was shown that joint cultivation of supernatants with bone marrow erythroblastic islands in liquid culture systems resulted in stimulatory or inhibitory effects on erythropoiesis. Influence of supernatants on erythropoiesis depended on the culture age, erythrocyte production in these cultures and duration of joint cultivation with bone marrow islands. Supernatants of 24 h cultures induced formation of erythroblastic islands de repeto and de novo in cultures.

[About sensitive of erythroblastic islands bone marrow of polycythemic reds to erythropoietin].

The sensibility to erythropoietin oferythroblastic islands of bone marrow which were made in different terms after the creation of transfusion polycytemia is researched. It turned out that the central macrophags of involuting erythroblastic islands are more sensible to erythropoietin than residual macrophags of bone marrow. The capability of residual macrophags to form erythroblastic islands is opened to the bigger inhibitory influence during the development of transfusion polycytemia than to the central macrjphags of involuting erythroblastic islands.

[On erythropoietin level formation in the blood under conditions of acute disturbance of cardiac function].

The erythropoietin levels in the blood of 50 patients with myocardial infarction were studied. The control group consisted of 33 patients with gastroenterologic diseases. Increased erythropoietin production in patients with myocardial infarction was caused by blood hypoxia under conditions of keeping kidney erythropoietin function.

[On the erythropoietin effect on the cell proliferative activity in the culture of th erythroblastic islands of the rat bone marrow in transfusion polycytemia].

The effect of experimental inhibition of the erythropoiesis on ability of the erythroide "crown" cells of erythroblast islands of the bone marrow to respond to the erythropoietin by the increase of the proliferative activity was studied. It was discovered that this ability depended on the degree of the erythropoiesis inhibition and on the class of the erythroblast island maturity. In the culture of the erythroblast islands of the bone marrow on the second 24-hour period after transfusion polycytemia reproduction, the proliferative activity of the erythroid cells in response to brining of the erythropoietin to the culture increased more in the erythroblast islands of the first and second maturity classes than in the reconstructing the erythroblast islands.

Erythroblastic islands of the bone marrow are morpho-fuctional units of erythropoiesis. The functional state of the erythroblastic islands' erythrokariocytes and central macrophages of the bone marrow was first studied by estimation of the content of ribonucleoproteids in its cells (Brashe reaction). Acute blood loss and posttransfusion polycytemia lead to enhancement of the content of ribonucleoproteids in erythrokariocytes and central macrophages of the bone marrow of the rates.

[the effect of colonystimulating macrophage factor on activity of the nuclear organisers in central macrophages of the cultures of the bone marrow erythroblastic islands].

Erythroblastic islands of the bone marrow are morpho-functional units of erythropoiesis. The functional state of erythroblastic islands' cells of the bone marrow was for the first time defined by estimation of activity of the nuclear organisers of the central macrophages in the erythroblastic islands cultivated for 24 hrs in presence of various doses of the colony-stimulating macrophage factor. The findings indicate that increased doses of the colonystimulating macrophage factor was accompanied by a respective enhancement of the activity of nucleolar organisers in central macrophages of erythroblastic islands.

[The effect of various stage maturity of erythrocytes upon proliferatio rate of erythroid cells in "crown" of erythroblastic islands].

Joint cultivation of small amounts of young and mature erythrocytes with bone marrow erythroblastic islands during 24 hours in liquid culture system results in erythropoiesis stimulation due to increase of number of cells in the state of mitosis in island's "crown". Prolonged joint cultivation and/or joint cultivation with plenty of premature and mature erythrocytes leads to inhibition of the erythropoiesis in the state of mitosis in the island's "crown". The maximum of the inhibitory effect was shown by erythrocytes from polycythemia rats.

Comparison of influence of erythrocytes of different stages of maturity, and their amount on erythropoiesis in erythroblastic island culture revealed their dose-dependent and maturity-dependent inhibiting effect on erythropoiesis. Erythrocytes of polycythemic rats inhibit maturing and formation of erythroblastic islands more intensively than erythrocytes of normal on anemic rats.

[Activity of nucleolar organizers in central macrophage culture of bone marrow erythroblastic islands].

The erythroblastic islands of the bone marrow are morphofunctional units of erythropoiesis. In this work the functional state of erythroblastic islands' cells of the bone marrow, for the first time, was defined by the estimation of the activity of the nucleolar organizers of central macrophages in the erythroblastic islands, cultivated during 24 and 48 hours with the presence of various doses of erythropoietin. The findings indicated that the increase in doses of erythropoietin was accompanied by the corresponding increase of the activity of nucleolar organizers in central macrophages of erythroblastic islands.
