Comparative assessment of various methods of studying the skin toxicity of a wound-healing drug

The article presents the results of studying the subacute skin toxicity of a wound-healing cream based on betamethasone dipropionate, gentamicin sulfate, and clotrimazole. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD No. 410), the research was conducted using the classic method. When studying the effect of a wound-healing agent on the body of animals during long-term 28-day dermal application by the classical method in animals of the I, II, and III experimental groups, which received the drug in a dose of 0.5, 2.5, and 5 ml/kg body weight; respectively no significant changes were found in the body weight of the animals and the weight coefficients of the liver, heart, spleen, kidneys, and lungs. At the same time, in the animals of the II and III research groups, a slight increase in the concentration of hemoglobin was noted, respectively, by 1.3 and 3.9 %, the level of urea – 5.3 and 11.2 %, the activity of AST – 9.8 and 14.9 % compared to the indicators of animals of the control group. In these groups, there was a decrease in total protein concentration by 5.5 and 6.8 %, creatinine level by 3.1 and 5.3 %, and ALT activity by 6.5 and 9.7 %. The studies conducted according to the OECD No. 410 make it possible to obtain more informative data on the toxic effect of the investigated agent. In particular, it was established that the use of the researched drug in animals of the I, II, and III experimental groups caused a decrease in the weight coefficients of the spleen mass, respectively, by 19.1 (Р < 0.05), 22.4 (Р < 0.05) and 28.3 % (P < 0.05), hearts – 3.6, 4.6 and 7.7 %, kidneys – 4.9, 6.5 and 10.4 % and animal body weight – 4.5, 5.4 and 6.4 %, hemoglobin concentrations – 2.6, 2.9 and 4.4 %, leukocyte counts – 21.4, 16.1 and 15.1 %, hematocrit values – 1.9, 3, 6 and 4.0 %. The average hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte (MSN) also decreased by 8.3, 6.9, and 5.1 %, and the average erythrocyte (MCV) volume was 5.0, 4.7, and 1.7 %. In addition, an increase in weight coefficients of liver mass was established by 10.8 (P < 0.05), 11.8 (P < 0.05), and 15.6 % (P < 0.05). When studying the effect of the researched agent during 28-day dermal application on biochemical indicators of blood serum in animals of the first experimental group, a decrease in the concentration of total protein by 5.8 % was established. Under these conditions, an increase in creatinine level, urea level, ALT, and AST was established, respectively, by 6.2, 18.8 (P < 0.05), 3.8, and 14.7 % (P < 0.05). It should be noted that the use of the researched product in animals of the II and III experimental groups caused an increase in the level of urea, respectively, by 28.6 and 35.7 % (Р < 0.05), creatinine by 8.4 and 3.5 %, AST – 16.4 (P < 0.05) and 11.3 % and the activity of ALT – 8.5 and 11.0 %

Health vs. Disease in the Context of Verbalization of the Axiological Picture of the World of a Modern Doctor

Статтю присвячено проблемі інтерпретації цінностей та антицінностей у лінгвістичному контексті. Акцентовано на релевантності вирізнення дихотомії цінність – антицінність (нецінність). Визначено, що цінності – це сукупність життєво необхідних матеріальних та духовний понять, які окреслюють базові поведінкові домінанти людини, забезпечують її основні інтереси та найважливіші потреби. Антицінності дефіновано опозиційною (за смислом) до цінностей універсальною категорією загальної аксіологічної парадигми людини. Обґрунтовано думку про те, що цінність для лікаря – це те, на що скерована його робота як компетентного фахівця медичної галузі, а також важливий атрибут його свідомості, який виформовує вектори професійної діяльності. Виділено в обстеженому дискурсі мовні рефлекси вказаних ціннісних орієнтирів сучасного лікаря. Описано закономірності мовної об’єктивації протилежних аксіологічних орієнтирів – здоров’я та хвороби, які увиразнюють функціонування всіх живих організмів, зокрема й людей, на векторі життя – смерть. Зауважено, що всі проаналізовані словесні об’єктиватори відображають модифікацію аксіологічної парадигми в галузі охорони здоров’я. Крім цього, указано на прагматичний потенціал лексем, що вербалізують ціннісний континуум медичної комунікації. Зафіксовані в дискурсі позитивно і негативно конотовані лексеми увиразнюють схвалення, привітність, докір чи критичне ставлення лікаря до пацієнтів. The article is devoted to the problem of linguistic interpretation of values and anti-values. The relevance of their differention and the functioning of dichotomy value – anti-value is pointed out.It is defined that values are a complex of vital material and spiritual, non-material concepts that outline the basic behavioral dominant of a person, provide their main interests and essential needs. At the same time, anti-values are defined as the opposition (meaning) to values as universal category of the general human axiological paradigm.Considering the value aspects of medical communication, presently great attention is paid to the importance of studying doctor’s axiological continuum. In this work health and disease were defined as the principal semantic oppositions. According to the results of analysis, these contrast notions are central to the axiological picture of the modern doctor, and these concepts belong to different parts of the coordinate system – value – antivalence. The author substantiates the opinion that the value for the doctor means the specific notion directed him to be an competent expert in the medical field, an essential attribute of consciousness that determines main vectors of his professional activity.The study of the discourse-textual material made it possible to determine the language reflexes of these values. The paper presents features of the language objectification of opposing axiological landmarks – health and disease. It is indicated that all analyzed verbal objectivists reflect a modification of the health paradigm. In addition, the pragmatic potential of tokens is noted, which verbalize the value component of medical communication. The positive and negative connotations recorded in the discourse express the approval, affability, reproach or critical attitude of the doctor to the patients
