[Mechanisms of realization of protective effect of miliacin during experimental Salmonella infection: effect of endotoxinemia and cytokine production].

Aim: Evaluate the effect of miliacin on the intensity of endotoxinemia and features of cytokine production in experimental salmonella infection.

Materials And Methods: The studies were carried out in 128 male mice (CBAxC57Bl6)F1 divided into 4 groups: I--intact; II--infected; III--infected after administration of miliacin solvent: tween-21; IV--infected after administration of miliacin. Determination of the endotoxin in blood plasma was carried out by using chromogenic LAL-test.

[Protective effect of miliacin during experimental salmonellosis infection].

Aim: Evaluation of influence of triterpenoid miliacin on the development of experimental salmonellosis infection.

Materials And Methods: Studies were carried out in 330 male mice (CBAxC57Bl6)F1. Miliacin was administered 3 times intraperitoneally with the interval of 3 days between administrations at a single dose of 2 mg/kg.

[Registers of health for workers exposed to extremely dangerous toxic chemicals--basis for early diagnosis and prevention of occupational intoxications].

The article deals with results of specification and functioning of a register of health for workers exposed to extremely dangerous toxic chemicals. The authors demonstrated patterns of diseases development in workers according to length of work with toxic chemicals and to work conditions. The identified cause-effect relationships of the diseases development necessitate health registers to minimize negative consequences in work conditions, for early diagnosis and occupational diseases prevention.
