NANOPARTICLES AND COLORECTAL CANCER: CAN THE USE OF METAL NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITIONS AFFECT OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS AND COLON HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES UNDER DMH-INDUCED CARCINOGENESIS.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) - a significant global health challenge. Exploring biological markers of oxidative stress is crucial, as they can play an essential role in initiating the transition from an organ's "healthy state" to a "malignant injury." There is substantial promise in investigating the level of 8-isoprostane (8-isoPGF2α) as a novel and dependable marker of oxidative stress.

[MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE LIVER OF MICE WITH ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME AND ADMINISTRATION OF NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHESIS MODULATORS].

The aim of the research is to study the effect of L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide, and aminoguanidine, the inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase, on morpho-functional changes in the liver of BALB/c mice with antiphospholipid syndrome. The study was carried out on 50 female BALB/c mice modelled with antiphospholipid syndrome. L-arginine (25 mg/kg) and aminoguanidine (10 mg/kg) were used for its correction.

[VIOLATION OF THE PROOXIDANT-ANTIOXIDANT BALANCE IN THE SPLEEN TISSUE UNDER EXPERIMENTAL CARCINOGENESIS].

This study was devoted to the investigation of antioxidant homeostasis in spleen tissue of white rats in the dynamics of development of colon adenocarcinoma induced by the introduction of sym-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). The effectiveness of the antioxidant barrier (Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, reduced glutathione) and oxidative damage products (TBARS, advanced oxidation protein products, diene and triene conjugates, Schiff bases) were measured in the homogenate of spleen tissue. A violation of the redox balance due to the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products, a decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant mediators of non-enzymatic nature was established.

[PRODUCTION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF APOPTOSIS IN BLOOD LEUKOCYTES IN EXPERIMENTAL ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME].

The aim of the study is to investigate the processes of apoptosis and the level of formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood cells of BALB/c female mice in experimental antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The content of living, apoptotic and necrotic cells in blood leukocytes was evaluated. Apoptosis in cells was detected using Annexin V conjugated to GFP and propidium iodide.

CHANGES OF CYTOLYSIS INDICATORS IN RATS' BLOOD RESULTED FROM SIMULTANEOUS INTOXICATION WITH TOBACCO SMOKE AND SODIUM NITRITE AFTER USING MILDRONATE.

The article is devoted to an experimental study of the effect of tobacco smoke and the effect of sodium nitrite on the background of tobacco intoxication on the body of rats of different age groups and to identify violations caused by these toxicants. It has been established that under the conditions of nitrite-tobacco intoxication, a more pronounced cytolysis of the cells takes place, which leads to a change in the permeability of the plasma membranes than in case of poisoning with only tobacco smoke. Immature rats were the most sensitive to the action of toxicants, in which the activity of membrane-dependent enzymes was more statistically significant (ALT activity in the serum increased 7,7 times, AST - 5 times, GGTP - 4,1 times, LDH - 1,8 times; p ≤ 0.

Hepatoprotective Effect of Melatonin in Toxic Liver Injury in Rats.

toxic liver injury results in nitrooxidative stress. Melatonin is a potent free radical scavenger, an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor and an activator of antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of exogenous melatonin on animals with acute toxic hepatitis.

HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES IN SPLEEN UNDER CONDITIONS OF TOXIC CARCINOGENESIS.

Under development of dimethylhydrazine-induced adenocarcinomatosis of the large intestine in white outbred male rats morphological changes of the structural components of the spleen were studied. It was found, that the progression of experimental carcinogenesis is accompanied by severe violations of the morphological state of all structural components of the spleen, manifested by destructively degenerative changes of the stroma, red and white pulp and significant vascular disorders. The severity of the pathomorphological changes in the spleen increases directly proportionally to the increase of the duration of the oncogenic factor impact.

EFFECT OF TOBACCO SMOKE ON ROS PRODUCTION AND INFLAMMATION IN RATS OF DIFFERENT AGE.

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of tobacco smoke on the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and level of cytokines in blood of rats of different age groups. For the purpose of carrying out the dosage, the beards of the white mongrel male rats were sub-divided into three groups: immature, mature and senile rats. Rat experimental groups were exposed to tobacco smoke daily for 45 days.

SORPTION CORRECTION OF NEPHRON SUB-MICROSCOPIC CHANGES CAUSED BY NEOPLASTIC CHRONIC INTOXICATION WITH THE APPLICATION OF CYTOSTATIC THERAPY.

The electron microscopic changes of the nephron structural components under conditions of dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced carcinogenesis with the development of colorectal adenocarcinoma in situ were evaluated. Destructive changes in epitheliocytes of proximal and distal tubules of the nephron, microcirculation disturbances in renal corpuscles and tubular structure are evidences of disorder in urine formation stages. Аdministration of cytostatics aggravates the degree of destructive changes in the kidney.
