Toxin Formation

In the etiology of many infectious animal diseases, Pasteurella haemolytica belongs to a specific place. An important factor in the pathogenicity of this microorganism, like the Pasteurella multocida serotype D, is the thermostable exotoxin. It can be obtained from bacterial-purified culture fluid. Although the study of toxin formation among microorganisms is quite popular, however, the features of toxin formation in hemolytic pasteurals, depending on the virulence of the pathogen, the nature of the toxic effects of these objects in vivo remain unclear. Materials for research were 16 isolates of Pasteurella haemolytica, isolated from pathological and biological material obtained during the outbreaks of respiratory pathology in farm animals. Initially, the nature of the research concerned the establishment of the potential for toxin formation in the isolates obtained. The method provided for a comparative analysis of the DNA nucleotide sequences of each of the investigated isolates P. haemolytica and information obtained from the international database. Another part of the work concerned the actual allocation of the major groups of toxic components of Pasteurella haemolytica by extraction to determine their biochemical nature. Exotoxin isolation was carried out from the Pasteurella spp. The components of the sediment and supernatant were separated by ion exchange chromatography on TSK gels. In order to detect the harmful effects of toxin hemolytic pasteurals on the body, they used the method of determining the opsonic index (the ratio of the phagocytic number in the mixture without the products of toxic fractions to the mixture with the toxin-containing fraction). It has been established that an important factor of the pathogenetic effect in Pasteurella haemolytica is the toxic fraction. Electrophoregram analysis of the results of DNA amplification in a comparative aspect with the data of standard samples helped to determine the presence of elements of the genome, which indicate the potential for toxin formation in isolated hemolytic pasteurized isolates from the test material. Toxic fractions isolated from Pasteurella haemolytica broth culture supernatant are substances of protein-carbohydrate nature. The isolated peak toxicogenic fractions of dialysate of a bacterial culture sieve contained protein and carbohydrates within the limits of 12.5–20 μg / ml and 0–20 μg/ml, respectively. In the dialysate of the broth culture supernatant, where 5 groups of toxigenic fractions were identified, the content of protein and carbohydrates in them varied, respectively, in the range from 20 to 95 μg/ml and from 3.3 to 26.62 μg/ml. At reproduction of opsono-phagocytic reaction with participation of toxigenic fractions of hemolytic pasteurel, a sufficiently expressed immunosuppressive effect of these complexes on the body of warm-blooded substances with an opsonic index of 3 ± 0.03 was established. During further research it is planned to determine the dermal necrotic and lethal effects of the isolated toxicogenic fractions of hemolytic pasteuride on the body of warm-blooded ones.

AbstractAn in vitro model for measuring platelet reactivity to a variety of biomaterial candidates for vascular grafts is described. A model consisting of a standard area of test material exposed to freshly labeled In platelets in plasma was evaluated. The platelets were isolated from ACD anticoagulated blood and resuspended in ACD plasma. It has been previously demonstrated that platelets so treated circulate in the body and will deposit on biomaterials exposed to the blood in vivo. The in vitro test consisted of an incubation of the platelets and materials at 37°C for one hour. At the end of the incubation, the platelet rich plasma was removed and the materials washed and removed for gamma counting. Platelet reactivity was normalized as a percentage of the counts on the material to counts in an aliquot of the platelet-plasma incubation media. The maximum uptake of platelets occurred within one hour. Platelets from three species, human, baboon, and dog were tested. Platelet uptake by Dacron and PTFE were in the range of 30–40% and 1–5% respectively. This is in accord with the known reactivity of these two vascular graft materials in vivo.A second series of studies were conducted with physically and pharmacologically inactivated platelets and inert particles. Those studies suggest that the initial results do not represent a biologic event but may reflect the porosity of the materials. This emphasizes the necessity of adequately defining an in vitro model against known in vivo activity.

Angiotensin Peptide

Angiotensin concentrations are affected by multiple molecular components including receptors and enzymes which might be either dissolved in plasma or attached to blood cells or endothelial surfaces throughout the body, giving rise to a concentration determining local enzymatic environment. This environment substantially changes during blood collection leading to a rapid and fundamental shift in angiotensin peptide levels. Therefore, a clearly defined and properly controlled sample stabilization procedure is essential for the accurate measurement of in vivo angiotensin peptide levels. Surprisingly, standard samples collected by anti-coagulation with heparin can be used for analyzing the human RAS under well-defined steady-state conditions, allowing RAS-Fingerprint based conclusions about the activities of circulating enzymes involved in angiotensin metabolism. The mass spectrometry based measurements of in vivo RAS-Fingerprints (immediate sample stabilization) or heparin plasma derived ex vivo RAS-Fingerprints in plasma or whole blood provide unique insights into the physiology of the human RAS. RAS-Fingerprinting provides an integrated view about the activity of the enzymes involved in angiotensin metabolism in a plasma sample and therefore represents a powerful tool for characterization of the patient specific “Biochemical Hardware”, which determines angiotensin peptide levels in vivo. The assay is compatible with undiluted plasma and whole blood and can be further applied to long-term stored frozen plasma samples. The utilization of RAS-Fingerprinting in clinical studies will substantially enhance our understanding of the human RAS and could lead to the development of personalized approaches for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the near future.

The mouse is a widely used model in experimental genetics especially for the genetic dissection of fat and lean tissue deposition in farm animals and humans (Bünger & Hill 2005). The body composition of mice has been recently measured in vivo and using carcasses with newly developed technologies and special equipment such as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry topographic scanners, like the PIXImus series, or micro computed axial tomography scanners (Medlin 1999). These methods, although accurate, are still relatively expensive. The aim of this study was to assess whether a computerised tomography (CT) scanner designed for scanning of humans, was capable of providing sufficiently accurate estimate of the body composition of mice of different lines, to prepare the ground for studies in mice as model animals to fast-track experiments in farm animals in a cost-effective way.

Dietary polyphenols have been shown to scavenge free radicals, modulating cellular redox transcription factors in different in vitro and ex vivo models. Dietary intervention studies have shown that consumption of plant foods modulates plasma Non-Enzymatic Antioxidant Capacity (NEAC), a biomarker of the endogenous antioxidant network, in human subjects. However, the identification of the molecules responsible for this effect are yet to be obtained and evidences of an antioxidant in vivo action of polyphenols are conflicting. There is a clear discrepancy between polyphenols (PP) concentration in body fluids and the extent of increase of plasma NEAC. The low degree of absorption and the extensive metabolism of PP within the body have raised questions about their contribution to the endogenous antioxidant network. This work will discuss the role of polyphenols from galenic preparation, food extracts, and selected dietary sources as modulators of plasma NEAC in humans.

Summary. The disbalanced feeding and the uneven distribution of micro- and macroelements in the environment leads to a trace element, in particular hypomelanosis. To accelerate the growth and preservation of young farm animals include in the diet of various biological additives and drugs, which include selenium. For stimulation of weight gain in the livestock industry, as well as for the prevention and treatment of pathological processes in addition to micro - and macrouse amino acids, primarily methionine. The aim of this work was to study the influence of composition of DAFS-25+Polizon on morpho-biochemical parameters of blood and functional state of the liver in fattening bulls of black-motley breed in the conditions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Experiments using were conducted on bull-calves of black-motley breed of the properties in the properties age from 6 to 15 months. The first experimental group during the experiment was additionally given the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg, the animals of the control group received a standard diet. To assess the impact of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon on metabolism cattle studied morphological and biochemical indicators of blood and conducted histological examination of the liver. It is established that the use of the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg increases the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the experimental group and reduces the amount of white blood cells. The serum content of total protein, phosphorus and calcium increases in the group of experimental animals. Microscopic examination of the liver revealed no changes in the structure of the organ and hepatocytes in the experimental group, whereas in the control group hemodynamic disorders and dystrophic changes in liver cells were observed. Thus, the use of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg of live weight in fattening bulls black-and-white breed contributes to the increase of redox processes in the body, stimulation of metabolism, prevent the development of liver disorders of cellular mechanisms of metabolism, optimizes the structure of the liver, which generally provides higher productivity.

Цель исследования. Доказательство гипотезы, что репрограммированные in vitro на М3 фенотип макрофаги при введении в организм будут существенно ограничивать развитие солидной карциномы in vivo . Методика. Рост солидной опухоли инициировали у мышей in vivo путем подкожной инъекции клеток карциномы Эрлиха (КЭ). Инъекцию макрофагов с нативным М0 фенотипом и с репрограммированным M3 фенотипом проводили в область формирования солидной КЭ. Репрограммирование проводили с помощью низких доз сыворотки, блокаторов факторов транскрипции STAT3/6 и SMAD3 и липополисахарида. Использовали две схемы введения макрофагов: раннее и позднее. При раннем введении макрофаги вводили на 1-е, 5-е, 10-е и 15-е сут. после инъекции клеток КЭ путем обкалывания макрофагами с четырех сторон область развития опухоли. При позднем введении, макрофаги вводили на 10-е, 15-е, 20-е и 25-е сут. Через 15 и 30 сут. после введения клеток КЭ солидную опухоль иссекали и измеряли ее объем. Эффект введения макрофагов оценивали качественно по визуальной и пальпаторной характеристикам солидной опухоли и количественно по изменению ее объема по сравнению с группой без введения макрофагов (контроль). Результаты. Установлено, что M3 макрофаги при раннем введении от начала развития опухоли оказывают выраженный антиопухолевый эффект in vivo , который был существенно более выражен, чем при позднем введении макрофагов. Заключение. Установлено, что введение репрограммированных макрофагов M3 ограничивает развитие солидной карциномы в экспериментах in vivo . Противоопухолевый эффект более выражен при раннем введении М3 макрофагов. Обнаруженные в работе факты делают перспективным разработку клинической версии биотехнологии ограничения роста опухоли, путем предварительного программирования антиопухолевого врожденного иммунного ответа «в пробирке». Aim. To verify a hypothesis that macrophages reprogrammed in vitro to the M3 phenotype and injected into the body substantially restrict the development of solid carcinoma in vivo . Methods. Growth of a solid tumor was initiated in mice in vivo with a subcutaneous injection of Ehrlich carcinoma (EC) cells. Macrophages with a native M0 phenotype or reprogrammed towards the M3 phenotype were injected into the region of developing solid EC. Reprogramming was performed using low doses of serum, STAT3/6 and SMAD3 transcription factor blockers, and lipopolysaccharide. Two schemes of macrophage administration were used: early and late. With the early administration, macrophages were injected on days 1, 5, 10, and 15 following the injection of EC cells at four sides of the tumor development area. With the late administration, macrophages were injected on days 10, 15, 20, and 25. At 15 and 30 days after the EC cell injection, the solid tumor was excised and its volume was measured. The effect of macrophage administration was assessed both qualitatively by visual and palpation characteristics of solid tumor and quantitatively by changes in the tumor volume compared with the group without the macrophage treatment. Results. M3 macrophages administered early after the onset of tumor development exerted a pronounced antitumor effect in vivo , which was significantly greater than the antitumor effect of the late administration of M3 macrophages. Conclusion. The observed significant inhibition of in vivo growth of solid carcinoma by M3 macrophages makes promising the development of a clinical version of the biotechnology for restriction of tumor growth by in vitro pre-programming of the antitumor, innate immune response.

<div>The use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer has received increasing attention overthe recent years. However, the application of the currently approved photosensitizers (PSs) is somehow limited by their poor aqueous solubility, aggregation, photobleaching and slow clearance from the body. To overcome these limitations, there is a need for the development of new classes of PSs with ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes currently gaining momentum. However, these compounds generally lack significant absorption in the biological spectral window, limiting their application to treat deep-seated or large tumors. To overcome this drawback, ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes designed in silico with (E,E’)-4,4´-bisstyryl 2,2´-bipyridine ligands showed impressive 1- and 2-Photon absorption up to a magnitude higher than the ones published so far. While non-toxic in the dark, these compounds were found phototoxic in various 2D monolayer cells, 3D multicellular tumor spheroids and be able to eradicate a multiresistant tumor inside a mouse model upon clinically relevant 1-Photon and 2 Photon excitation.</div>

Hyperlipidemia is the immediate results of the excessive fat intake in food. This results in the elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This leads to heart conditions like CAD, hypertension, congestive heart failure as risk factors which can be lethal. There are many drugs to treat and control the lipids levels in the body. These drugs are either designed to prevent LDL accumulation and VLDL synthesis. Some drugs also lower the elevated levels of saturated lipids in the body. But many drugs are known to cause side effects and adverse effects; therefore, alternatives to the drugs are the subjects for current investigations. Herbs and medicinal plants are used as treatment sources for many years. They have been used in the Indian medical systems like Ayurveda, Siddha etc. As the application of herbs in the treatment is growing, there is an urgent need for the establishment of Pharmacological reasoning and standardization of the activity of the medicinal plants. Chloris paraguaiensis Steud. is Poyaceae member that is called locally as Uppugaddi. Traditionally it is used to treat Rheumatism, Diabetes, fever and diarrhoea. The chemical constituents are known to have anti-oxidant properties and most of the anti-oxidants have anti-hyperlipidemic activity too. Since the plant has abundant flavonoid and phenol content, the current research focusses on the investigation of the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of the plant Chloris extracts. Extracts of Chloris at 200mg/kg showed a comparably similar anti hyperlipidemia activity to that of the standard drug. The extracts showed a dose based increase in the activity at 100 and 200mg/kg body weight.

Oxidation is an essential reaction in the human body, which determines the expression of proteins in the body. This results in the altered expression like rapid growth resulting in cancers and other disorders. Many synthetic drugs are available in the market that is effective in limiting the free radical generation and the reaction of radicals with cells. Unfortunately, all those synthetic drugs were found to cause side effects and adverse effects in the body. But given the accuracy of the predictability of the results and administration, this research focuses on testing the anti-oxidant efficiency in rat models testing the biochemical parameters. Investigations have also been done on the anti-oxidant activity of Tectona, but every research was concentrated to prove the anti-oxidant activity only. extract had been tested for anti-oxidant activity by estimating various tissue parameters and it showed better activity. As predicted, there is a significant difference in the and results which can be explained are due to the physiological conditions that exist inside the body.
