[Diabetes mellitus and cancer: a system of insulin-like growth factors].

Diabetes mellitus and malignant tumors are among the most common and complex diseases. Epidemiological studies have shown a strong relationship between these pathologies. The causality of this relationship has not yet been unambiguously established, but a number of probable biological mechanisms have been proposed to explain it through the effects of hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia on the process of oncogenesis.

Method to Create Multiple Primary Malignant Neoplasms with Stimulation of Tumor Growth under Conditions of Primary Immunodeficiency in Experiment.

The experimental model of synchronous multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMT) was created. B16/F10 melanoma (0.5 ml of suspension diluted 1:20 in saline) and sarcoma 45 (0.

DNA damage in circulating leukocytes measured with the comet assay may predict the risk of death.

The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, mortality by cause, and cancer incidence associated to DNA damage, a cohort of 2,403 healthy individuals (25,978 person-years) screened in 16 laboratories using the comet assay between 1996 and 2016 was followed-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated a worse overall survival in the medium and high tertile of DNA damage (p < 0.

Experimental Modeling of Multiple Primary Malignant Processes with One Tumor Suppressed by Another under Conditions of Primary Immunodeficiency.

The phenomenon of multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMT) is characterized by the presence of several primary neoplasms in the same patient. An experimental model of MPMT with one dominating tumor was developed. Female BALB/c nude mice received simultaneous subcutaneous inoculation of Guerin's carcinoma (5×10 tumor cells in 0.

The hCOMET project: International database comparison of results with the comet assay in human biomonitoring. Baseline frequency of DNA damage and effect of main confounders.

The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those factors that can explain the large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variation. International collaborative initiatives such as the hCOMET project - a COST Action launched in 2016 - represent a valuable tool to meet this challenge.

[Influence of malignant growth and chronic neurogenic pain on neurosteroid levels in rat brain].

The aim of the study was to determine the level of sex steroid hormones in white matter of the brain of rats with tumors combined with chronic neurogenic pain (CNP), which was modeled by bilateral sciatic nerve ligation. The study included albino male rats (n=74). In the main group, M1 sarcoma was transplanted subcutaneously (n=11) or into the subclavian vein (n=11) 45 days after CNP modeling.

[The activity of redox-regulatory systems in the primary and recurrence tumors in vulvar cancer].

The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione transferase (GST), the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were investigated in the samples of the tumor, peritumoral zone and healthy tissue, taken at the line of resection, were obtained from 14 patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, and 13 patients with local recurrence appeared in the period from 3 months to 7 years. by conventional spectrophotometric methods. The content of GSH and the activity of SOD, GPx, GR, GST were significantly increased, while MDA was decreased in the tissue of the primary carcinoma of the vulva in compared with the healthy tissue.

[The activity of redox-regulatory systems in the tumor and its surrounding tissues in various histological types of tumor].

According to modern concepts cancer is a complex dynamic system having multiple relationships with both the immediate environment and with remote nonmalignant tissues and organs. Changes in the redox balance in them can result in disruption of the normal tissue control. Understanding of the biology of redox processes in a particular tumor and its surroundings, and of their functioning mechanisms is necessary for the development of new anti-cancer strategies based on the effects on the redox state of the tumor and surrounding tissue.

[The level of endogenous intoxication iт oncologic gynecologic patients.].

The leading role of syndrome of endogenous intoxication in structure of clinical manifestations of tumor disease conditions actuality of studying components determining its development, in dynamics of malignant process and under anti-tumor therapy. Among all studied groups of oncogynecological patients, the most expressed decreasing of functional activity of albumin binding toxic compounds is observed under ascitic form of ovary cancer. In the group of patients with ovary cancer of stage I-II and also in condition of remission of process in patients with ovary cancer of stage III, the values of total and effective concentration of albumin and its binding capacity, on the contrary, are approaching to donor values.

[Specific biological features of opportunistic bacteria determining dysbacteriosis in the composition of the large intestine normal microflora].

Dysbiotic manifestations in the gastrointestinal tract are widely spread. They are characterized by a prolonged, persistent course with the tendency to transition to the chronic form and poorly respond to corrective treatment. The occurrence of high concentrations is 70% for Klebsiella oxytoca, while for K.

[State of normal intestinal microflora in preschool children living in the ecologically adverse region].

In children living in an ecologically unfavorable area the quantitative content of bifidobacteria and enterococci appeared to be considerably decreased while the level of sulfate-reducing clostridia, on the contrary, elevated. The suppression of bifidoflora leads to decreased immune responsiveness that promotes different somatic diseases. Bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis, allergic diseases, diseases of digestive organs, acute respiratory virus infections are more often registered in children living in ecologically unfavorable Central district than in children living in the ecologically favorable Lenin district.

[Formation of intestinal microflora in children during the first year of their life].

In 525 young children the state of intestinal microbiocenosis was studied every month of the first year their life. The study revealed that the process of the microflora formation lasted throughout the first year of their life and was characterized by dysbiotic disturbances. During this period the aggravation of dysbiotic changes in the intestine of these children on months 3, 6-7 and 11-12 was of particular importance.
