The influence of fractions of exogenous RNA, isolated from spleens of C3HA mice and of rats, both intact (control--cRNA) and immunized with homogenate of normal syngenic, allogenic and xenogenic tissues (immune--immRNA), on the cytotoxic properties of splenocytes of C3HA intact mice was compared in the in vitro cytotoxic experiments. The splenocytes treated with different RNA fractions were used as effector-cells. In vitro cultivated MGXXIIa cells of strain specific C3HA mice hepatoma, and K562 cells of human erythroleukemia, both labeled with 3H-uridine, served as target cells. Thus, it is only the cytoplasmic fraction of immRNA isolated from the spleens of rats immunized with tissue antigens of C3HA mice that induced a more pronounced stimulation of cytotoxic activity of splenocytes.

Article Synopsis
- Thyroid hormones influence immune cell responses, impacting inflammation processes in the body.
- The study aimed to investigate how hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism induce inflammation in the colon, using an experiment on 60 male mice.
- Results showed that hyperthyroid mice had colonic mucosal hypertrophy and increased immune cell activity, while hypothyroid mice exhibited colonic mucosal atrophy with minimal immune response, suggesting thyroid status plays a role in regulating inflammation.
The state of physiological functions of the whole organism, its vital activity and adaptation to various changes in the surrounding and internal environment is controlled by neurohumoral mechanisms. The main place in the implementation of those mechanisms belongs to hormones. A clinically relevant problem is currently the relationship between activity of thyroid gland and prolactin.

Cryptosporidiosis causes persistent diarrhoea in infants, immunocompromised patients and elderly persons. Long-term consequences of the disease include increased risk of malignancy, cardiomyopathy and gastrointestinal inflammation. This study aimed to investigate prolonged effects of cryptosporidiosis on innate immunity and growth in neonatal C3HA mice.

Objective: This study evaluated the function and structural consequences of direct exposure of murine hepatoma MH-22a cells to polychromatic polarized light, to determine potential risk of malignancy following irradiation.
Background Data: Visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) light have been actively used for prevention and treatment of complications developed after conventional tumor therapy. However, the safety associated with this irradiation has not been determined.
