[NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF AMINOGUANIDINE IN EXPERIMENTAL OBSTETRIC ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME].

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of aminoguanidine on the content of autoantibodies in the serum, nitric oxide synthesis (NO), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) content and indicators of free radical oxidation in the cerebral hemispheres of BALB/c mice with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) on the 18th day of pregnancy. An increase in the content of autoantibodies to brain proteins (120 kDa, 150 kDa, and >170 kDa) was detected in the serum of BALB/c mice with APS on the 18th day of pregnancy. An increase in the content of GFAP (total), GFAP (49-37 kDa), NO2¯, NO3¯ and prooxidant-antioxidant system imbalance in the cerebral hemispheres of pregnant mice with APS 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.

[MIELIN BASIC PROTEIN IN THE BRAIN TISSUE OF THE BALB/C MICE WITH EXPERIMENTAL ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME AND AFFECTION WITH NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHESIS MODULATORS].

The aim of the research was to study the content of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres of the BALB/c mice with experimental antiphospholipid syndrome as well as in cases of introduction of L-arginine and aminoguanidine. The research was performed using 50 female BALB/c mice, in which APS was simulated. L-arginine (25 mg/kg) and aminoguanidine (10 mg/kg) were used for correction.

The influence of enterosorption on some haematological and biochemical indices of the normal rats after single injection of melphalan.

Aim: One of the most prominent side effects of intensive cancer chemotherapy is bone marrow suppression which is an independent negative prognostic factor for the time to tumor progression. The aim of the study was to evaluate the myeloprotective possibilities of carbon enterosorbents in the case of usage of alkilating drug melphalan (L-PAM).

Materials And Methods: L-PAM was injected intravenously to healthy inbred rats to cause the myelosuppression.

[The liver and kidneys biochemical indices at the experimental pancreatitis in case of the administration of nitric oxide synthesis modulators and recombinant superoxide dismutase].

The rats liver and kidneys function indices were studied in case of administration of recombinant superoxide dismutase drug, precursor of nitric oxide L-arginine and the blocker of inducible NO-synthase aminoguanidine. The disturbances in functioning of prooxidant-antioxidant system (a decrease of activity of superoxide dismutase, katalaze, amount of restored glutathione, growth of the level of hydroperoxide lipids, TBA-active products), mitochondrial electron-transport pathways (a decrease in activity of succinatedehydrogenaze, cytochrome oxydaze), a rise of nitrite-anion level in the liver and kidneys, increase of alpha-amylase activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha serum concentration were established on the model of pancreas injury in white male rats. Under these circumstances aminoguanidine attenuated the oxidative stress in the liver and kidneys due to normalization of nitric oxide synthesis.
