Bone Marrow Stem Cell and Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane for the Treatment of Nonhealing Wound After Radiation Therapy.

Objectives: In this study, our aim was to create a bioactive wound dressing that combined decellularized and lyophilized human amniotic membrane and freeze-dried rat bone marrow stem cells for the treatment of nonhealing wounds.

Materials And Methods: For the decellularized human amniotic membrane, sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1% Triton X-100 were used. The mononuclear fraction of bone marrow stem cells was isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll Paque Plus (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA, USA).

Antitumor and adjuvant effects of phagelysates of E.coli in mice with Ehrlich carcinoma.

Aim: To augment anti-tumor host response and overcome the tumor-induced immunosuppression is of paramount importance especially when patient is subjected to radio-/chemotherapy and immune system suffers significantly. Various immunological methods have been employed as supplemental antitumor therapies. We were aimed to investigate the antitumor potential of phagelysates of gram-negative bacteria and their adjuvant effects for conventional chemotherapy in experiment.

[Application of bacterial thermo- and phagelysates for suppression of malignant tumor growth in experimental studies: 2 comparative analysis of anticancer efficacy of thermo- and phagelysates of Ps. aeruginosa and E. coli].

In the presented work antitumor effects of thermo- and phagelysates of Ps.aeruginosa and E.coli on Ehrlich carcinoma growth in mice have been studied.

[Application of bacterial thermo-and phagelysates for suppression of malignant tumor growth in experimental studies: 1. Anticancer efficacy of thermo- and phagelysates of E.coli].

Immunotherapy is considered as one of the promising treatment strategies for patients with malignant tumors. In the presented work antitumor effects of E.coli thermo- and phagelysates on Ehrlich carcinoma growth in mice have been studied.

[New solution for cells and organs tissue conservation].

One of the major problems in organ and tissue transplantation is the conservation of donor's material from the moment of its impressments till its grafting in the recipient's organism. The new direction in transplantation is a method of liver tissue micro-fragments transplantation in bio-container Kakabadze, which was elaborated at the Department of Clinical Anatomy of Georgian State Medical Academy. In this work the results of investigation of hepatocytes' viability in micro-fragments were studied.

Heterotopic auxiliary liver in an isolated and vascularized segment of the small intestine in rats.

Background: Development of an auxiliary liver is of interest for treating several conditions. To examine whether an isolated intestinal segment will support development of a heterotopic auxiliary liver, we studied the fate of liver microfragments in rats.

Methods: Small intestinal segments with intact circulation were created, and the small intestinal mucosa was removed.

[Organization of simple sequences in the Drosophilia melanoga ter genome].

Fragments of Drosophila melanogaster DNA that intensively hybridize with simple sequences poly[(dG-dT).(dC-dA)], poly[(dA).(dT)] and poly[(dG-dA).

Nuclear proteins from Drosophila melanogaster embryos which specifically bind to simple homopolymeric sequences poly [(dT-dG).(dC-dA)].

The binding of nuclear proteins from Drosophila melanogaster embryos to simple homopolymeric DNA sequences was studied. Nuclear proteins were electrophoresed, transferred onto nitrocellulose and incubated with labelled synthetic homopolymers or natural fragment containing simple sequences. Several protein bands were found in the 65-72 KDa region, which specifically bind both poly [(dG-dT).

Strand-specific transcription of the simple sequences poly[dG-dT):(dC-dA)] and poly[(dG-dA):(dC-dT)] in D. melanogaster embryos revealed by S1 nuclease treatment.

The transcription of different strands of the simple sequences poly[(dG-dT):(dC-dA)] and poly[(dG-dA):(dT-dC)] in Drosophila melanogaster embryos was studied. After selective labelling of one strand, the polymers were hybridized with immobilized RNA and hybrids were treated on filters with S1 nuclease. Appropriate control has shown that this treatment destroys sandwich-like complexes and leaves only true hybrids.

[Nuclear proteins from Drosophila melanogaster specifically binding to simple homopolymeric sequences of poly[d(T-G)].poly[d(C-A)] type].

Binding of simple homopolymeric sequences to Drosophila melanogaster nuclear proteins has been studied. Proteins with Mr 65-72 kDa have been found, which specifically bind to synthetic poly[d(T-G)].poly[d(C-A)], as well as to D.
