Chemiluminescence activity of neutrophil granulocytes under the influence of magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite (<i>in vitro</i>)

The article presents the results of studying and evaluating the impact of magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite on neutrophil granulocytes in human blood (in vitro) in order to determine their bio compatibility and eco toxicity. The subject soft here search were blood neutrophil granulocytes of 29 conditionally-healthy donors of blood, as well as magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite (NP), the preparation dose in minimum concentration reached 25 mg, in maximum concentration it reached 50 mg per 106 cells/ml. We implemented the sol of magnetic NP, obtained by biogenic synthesis in International Scientific Centre for Studying Extreme States of an Organism. Functional activity of blood neutrophil granulocytes has been determined by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Magnetic NP were introduced into pilot samples straight before chemiluminescent analysis, and also after the incubation with in 30 minutes under 37 °С entigrade. As a result of thee stimation of the early response of neutrophil granulocytes to the influence of minimum concentration of magnetic NP in vitro we found statistically true decrease of the intensity (1.6 times), the area under the curve (2.1 times) in zymosan-induced chemiluminescent response, the activation index (2.3 times). When evaluating the late response of neutrophil granulocytes to the influence of maximum concentration of magnetic NP in vitro we have found statistically true lowering of the time of reaching the peak (10 times) of spontaneous chemiluminescence. More over we marked consider able lowering of maximum intensity 6 times and the reduction of the area under the curve of zymosan-induced chemiluminescence 5.6 times under the influence of magnetic NP under the lowering of activation index 3.7 times. The authors determined that magnetic NP were intensively decreasing the functional activity of neutrophil granulocytes. The intensity of the impact is higher under the preliminary incubation of the cells with magnetic NP. At the same time, short effect of magnetic NP to neutrophil granulocytes can be a modulating one and depends on the initial level of cell reactivity. We revealed that magnetic NP influence concerns only activated cells

Effectiveness and safety of therapeutics used for treatment of experimental or spontaneous <i>Mycoplasma</i> infections

Mycoplasmoses of cattle and small ruminants,  pigs and poultry are widely spread and the infection process is frequently associated with other diseases. Mycoplasma spp. cause inflammatory respiratory diseases, diseases of joints and meninges, keratoconjunctivitis, mastitis and endometritis,  abortion and stillbirths. Etiotropic therapy of mycoplasmal infections consists in prescribing antibiotics: enrofloxacin, difloxacin, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxycycline, tylosin, tilmicosin, tylvalosin, tiamulin, florfenicol, lincomycin, spectinomycin, tulathromycin. The results of studies described in different publications show high sensitivity of Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma gallisepticum to tetracyclines, tiamulin and tylvalosin. Isolates with increased resistance to tilmicosin are also resistant to tylosin and lincomycin. Treatment of respiratory infections in lambs, the main causative agents  of which are Mannheimia haemolytica and Mycoplasma, has been successful with the use of fluoroquinolones, tilmicosin, tulathromycin, chlortetracycline, enrofloxacin, doxycycline, and oxytetracycline. Isolates of Mycoplasma bovis are largely sensitive to oxytetracycline, florfenicol and tulathromycin.  Enrofloxacin has a less pronounced therapeutic effect. Tilmicosin and oxytetracycline are effective in the treatment of respiratory diseases of young cattle, associated with Mycoplasma spp. Tulathromycin and tilmicosin have a significant therapeutic effect in the treatment of pneumonia in weaned piglets experimentally infected with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Multiple (course) use of enrofloxacin significantly increases the therapeutic effect. Tilmicosin is effective in the control of other bacterial infections of pigs (pasteurellosis, streptococcosis, hemophilic polyserositis, infectious atrophic rhinitis).The general prophylaxis of mycoplasmal infections is to comply with veterinary and sanitary standards and to implement quarantine measures in the infection outbreak

Chronic endometritis and infertility — in vitro fertilization outcomes: systematic review and meta-analysis

Background. The relevance of the problem is related to the high prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE); its role in female infertility, implantation failures during assisted reproductive technology procedures, and recurrent miscarriage; as well as the lack of a unified strategy in the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The present systematic review with a meta-analysis focuses on evaluating the impact of CE and its therapy on the outcome of in vitro fertilization. In addition, the effect of CE of various severity on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies is analyzed. Objective. To analyze the effect of CE of varying severity and its treatment on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization. Methods. Using PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Embase, ELibrary, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), WHO International Clinical Trials Registry, and Russian Science Citation Index, a systematic search was conducted for articles published over the past 12 years that met the following criteria: randomized controlled trial examining the effect of CE of varying severity on fertility and ways to treat it. The following indicators were calculated: ongoing pregnancy/live birth, clinical pregnancy, and miscarriage rates. A total of 4145 patients (from ten studies) were included. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 11.0 software (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK). The heterogeneity was considered low at I2 &lt;30%, moderate at 30–50%, and high at &gt;50%. Results. Women with CE exhibited lower ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 1.97; p = 0.02) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 2.28; p = 0.002) as compared to women without it. CE treatment increased the ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 5.33; p &lt; 0.0001) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 3.64; p = 0.0001). In vitro fertilization outcomes were comparable in women treated for CE and women without CE (ongoing pregnancy/live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and miscarriage rate: p = ns). Women with severe CE exhibited lower ongoing pregnancy/live birth (OR 0.43; p = 0.003) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR 0.40; p = 0.0007). Mild CE showed no significant effect on in vitro fertilization outcomes (ongoing pregnancy/ live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and miscarriage rate: p = ns). Conclusion. The conducted meta-analysis showed that CE significantly reduces the ongoing pregnancy/live birth and clinical pregnancy rates in infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Noteworthy is that antimicrobial therapy in such patients improves the results of assisted reproductive technologies, which are comparable to those of patients without CE. The negative impact of this pathology on the implantation capacity of the endometrium is most often observed in the severe form, while its mild form has virtually no effect on the in vitro fertilization outcome

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF POST-STROKE REHABILITATION WITH THE USE OF HAND EXOSKELETON CONTROLLED BY BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

Aim - to evaluate the efficiency of the motor recovery rehabilitation procedure with the use of hand exoskeleton controlled by the brain-computer interface (BCI). Materials and methods. 60 post-stroke patients participated in the study. 46 patients had ischemic stroke and 14 had hemorrhagic stroke. 42 patients of the main experimental group were trained in kinesthetic motor imagery using hand exoskeleton controlled by BCI, 18 patients of the control group carried out the imitating procedure. Exoskeleton - BCI system consists of encephalograph NVX52 («Medical Computer Systems», Russia), personal computer and hand exoskeleton («Android Technique», Russia). Motor functions were estimated by neurological scales ARAT and Fugl-Meyer. Results were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon and x2 tests, Spearman's correlation and RM-ANOVA using Statsoft Statistica v. 6.0. Results. It is shown that post-stroke patients are able to control BCI with the same efficiency as healthy subjects, regardless of the duration, severity and localization of the disease. Ten days of BCI training significantly improved patients’ motor functions according to neurological scales ARAT and Fugl-Meyer. Improvement was mainly provided by the small movements of the hand. According to several sections of neurological scales, improvement in the main group is significantly higher than in the control group. However, according to general scores, statistically significant difference between two groups was not observed. Conclusion. It is shown that the rehabilitation procedure using hand exsoskeleton controlled by BCI significantly improves motor functions of the paretic arm regardless of the duration, severity and localization of the disease. Increase of the training duration enhances the rehabilitation efficiency

Электрофоретическая подвижность эритроцитов у больных с тяжелыми формами интоксикации

Objective: to study the diagnostic and prognostic value of changes in red blood cell electrophoretic mobility (RBCEM) in patients with infectious and noninfectious forms of intoxication.Materials and methods. A cytoferometer (Opton) was used to determine RBCEM; venous blood samples taken on heparin were studied. Thirty patients with peritonitis (infectious intoxication) and 22 patients with a pancreatic tumor and mechanical jaundice (noninfectious intoxication) were examined. All the patients received standard therapy for this disease. Eight out of 30 patients died on days 3—10 postoperatively.Results. On postoperative days 1—2, the values of RBCEM were outside the lower normal range in 90% of the patients with peritonitis (p&lt;0.01). At the same time the patients with a good outcome of the disease differed from those who subsequently died (p&lt;0.05), but they did not differ in the severity of the disease (APACHE II scale) and the results of laboratory and clinical blood tests. On days 7—14 versus days 1—2 after surgery, the survivors, unlike the deceased, showed an increase in RBCEM (p&lt;0.05) and a reduction in disease severity by the APACHE II scale (p&lt;0.05). On admission, in 95% of patients with pancreatic tumor, the values of RBCEM were beyond the lower normal range (p&lt;0.01). Seven-day disintoxicant therapy caused a rise in this index.Conclusion. Intoxication with infectious and noninfectious agents leads to lower RBCEM. In patients with general peritonitis, the values of this index and its changes are of diagnostic and prognostic value in evaluating the severity and outcome of the disease and the efficiency of performed therapeutic measures. Цель. Изучение диагностической и прогностической значимости изменений электрофоретической подвижности эритроцитов (ЭФПЭ) у больных с инфекционной и неинфекционной формами интоксикации организма.Материалы и методы. Для определения ЭФПЭ был использован цитоферометр фирмы «Opton», материалом для исследования служила венозная кровь, взятая на гепарине. Обследование проведено у 30 больных с перитонитом (инфекционная форма интоксикации) и у 22 больных опухолью поджелудочной железы с механической желтухой (неинфекционная форма интоксикации). Всем больным проводили стандартизированную терапию для данного заболевания. Из 30 больных перитонитом 8 умерли на 3—10 сутки после операции.Результаты. На 1—2-е сутки после операции у 90% больных с перитонитом величины ЭФПЭ находились за пределами нижней границы нормы (р&lt;0,01). При этом больные с благоприятным исходом заболевания отличались от впоследствии умерших более высокими значениями этого показателя (р&lt;0,05), но не различались по тяжести состояния (шкала АРАСНЕ II), результатам лабораторно-клинического анализа крови. На 7—14-е сутки после операции у выживших больных, в отличие от умерших, наблюдалось увеличение ЭФПЭ (р&lt;0,05) и уменьшение тяжести их состояния по шкале АРАСНЕ II (р&lt;0,05) по сравнению с 1—2 сутками послеоперационного периода. При поступлении в стационар у 95% больных с опухолью поджелудочной железы величины ЭФПЭ были меньше нижней границы нормы (р&lt;0,01). Проведение дезинтоксикационной терапии в течение 7 суток сопровождалось увеличением значений этого показателя.Заключение. Интоксикация организма инфекционными и неинфекционными агентами приводит к снижению ЭФПЭ. У больных с разлитым перитонитом значения этого показателя и его динамика имеют диагностическую и прогностическую значимость для оценки тяжести и исхода заболевания, эффективности проводимых лечебных мероприятий.

Investigation of oncolytic potential of vaccine strains of yellow fever and tick-borne encephalitis viruses against glioblastoma and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines

Introduction. Flaviviruses, possessing natural neurotropicity could be used in glioblastoma therapy using attenuated strains or as a delivery system for antitumor agents in an inactivated form. Objective. To investigate the sensitivity of glioblastoma and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines to vaccine strains of yellow fever and tick-borne encephalitis viruses. Materials and methods. Cell lines: glioblastoma GL-6, T98G, LN-229, pancreatic carcinoma MIA RaCa-2 and human pancreatic ductal carcinoma PANC-1. Viral strains: 17D yellow fever virus (YF), Sofjin tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Virus concentration were determined by plaque assay and quantitative PCR. Determination of cell sensitivity to viruses by MTT assay. Results. 17D YF was effective only against pancreatic carcinoma tumor cells MIA Paca-2 and had a limited effect against PANC-1. In glioblastoma cell lines (LN229, GL6, T98G), virus had no oncolytic effect and the viral RNA concentration fell in the culture medium. Sofjin TBEV showed CPE50 against MIA Paca-2 and a very limited cytotoxic effect against PANC-1. However, it had no oncolytic effect against glioblastoma cell lines (LN229, T98G and GL6), although virus reproduction continued in these cultures. For the GL6 glioblastoma cell line, the viral RNA concentration at the level with the infection dose was determined within 13 days, despite medium replacement, while in the case of the LN229 cell line, the virus concentration increased from 1 × 109 to 1 × 1010 copies/ml. Conclusion. Tumor behavior in organism is more complex and is determined by different microenvironmental factors and immune status. In the future, it is advisable to continue studying the antitumor oncolytic and immunomodulatory effects of viral strains 17D YF and Sofjin TBEV using in vivo models
