MODIFICATION OF THE TUMOR/INDUCED BYSTANDER EFFECT BY IRRADIATION UNDER COCULTIVATION OF LYMPHOCYTES FROM PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOCYTES FROM HEALTHY DONORS.

Objective: Study the tumor-induced bystander effect of blood cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)patients on non-transformed bystander cells (peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of conditionally healthy individ-uals) and the possibility of its modification after the impact of ionizing radiation.

Materials And Methods: We carried out cocultivation and separate cultivation of blood samples from conditionallyhealthy volunteers and patients with CLL according to our technique. Using the Comet assay, the relative level ofDNA damage was evaluated.

[Effect of vasopressin on the membrane potential of rat hepatocytes].

The current-voltage relationship of rat hepatocytes was investigated and its linear dependence was shown. On liver slices, we have investigated the effects of vasopressin on membrane potential of rat hepatocytes using microelectrode technique. Vasopressin evoked membrane hyperpolarization to -50 mV, suggesting that vasopressin activated synthetic processes in hepatocytes.

[Effect of magnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 on viability, attachment and spreading of cells isolated from fetuses and new-born rats].

This study shows that toxic effect of non-modified nanoparticles of Fe3O4 in vitro depends on metabolic and morphological condition of cells, derived from fetuses and newborn rats. During the cultivation of cells with magnetic nanoparticles, the new-born rats. During the cultivation of cells with magnetic nanoparticles, the latter bind to the cell surface and penetrate into the intracellular space.

[Changes in ratio of lipid components in the rat bile after applying bombesin neuropeptide].

Changes of lipid components ratio in the rat bile after bombesin neuropeptide infusion (1 microg per 100 g of body weight) were studied in the acute experiment using the thin-layer chromatography. The cholates-to-cholesterol, phospholipids-to-cholesterol, cholesterol-to its esters ratios and also the potent cholesterol crystallization index were calculated and analyzed. Obtained data indicate that bombesin takes influence on the colloidal parameters of bile enhancing the secretion of phospholipids, cholesterol and its esters and free fatty acids.

[Effect of natural tachykinins on the bile production in rats].

We studied the changes of biligenesis and bile chemical composition under the influence of endogenous mammalian tachykinins in the acute experiments on the rats with biliary duct cannulated. We have shown that substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B changed volume of bile secretion and this liver reaction was accompanied by the essential changes of the bile chemical composition. Above mentioned peptides strengthen solubilisation abilities of the bile that diminishes its lithogenicity.
