Цель исследования - изучение динамики морфологических изменений роговицы и заднего отдела глаза крыс при длительной гипергликемии. Методика. Исследование выполнено на 36 самцах крыс Wistar. Сахарный диабет индуцировали внутрибрюшинной инъекцией стрептозотоцина (65 мг/кг), после чего ежедневно вводили подкожно малые дозы инсулина (2 ЕД/кг). На 50-е, 58-е и 66-е сут эксперимента производили энуклеацию глаз у глубоко наркотизированных животных. Гистологические срезы фрагментов глаз окрашивали гематоксилин-эозином, проводили морфометрию параметров роговицы и сетчатки. Результаты. Средняя концентрация глюкозы и кетоновых тел крови в группе сахарного диабета составила 29,8 ммоль/л и 0,889 ммоль/л, в контрольной группе - 6,2 ммоль/л и 0,847 ммоль/л соответственно. Анализ гистологических срезов глаз выявил признаки отека роговицы, хориоидеи и наружных слоев центральных отделов сетчатки до появления других качественных и количественных морфологических изменений. Заключение. Оценка толщины роговицы, хориоидеи и наружных слоев центральных отделов сетчатки может служить предиктором развития диабетической ретинопатии. The aim was to study morphological changes in the cornea and the posterior part of rat eye during prolonged hyperglycemia. Methods. The study was performed on 36 Wistar male rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced by an injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, i.p.) followed by daily injections of low doses of insulin (2 U/kg, s.c.). Eyes were enucleated from deeply anesthetized rats on days 50, 58, and 66 of the experiment. Histologic sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and morphometry of the cornea and the retina was performed. Results. Mean blood concentrations of glucose and ketone bodies were 29.8 mmol/L and 0.889 mmol/L, respectively, in the diabetic group and 6.2 mmol/L and 0.847 mmol/L, respectively, in the control group. The histological analysis revealed signs of edema in the cornea, choroid and outer layers of the central retina, which preceded other morphological changes. Conclusion. Evaluating thickness of the cornea, choroid and outer layers of the central retina may serve for prediction of diabetic retinopathy.

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus occupy a significant niche in the structure of diseases with high disability and mortality impact and pose major healthcare and social issues. It should be stressed that 50-80% of fatal cases in patients with diabetes are associated with cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine the histostructural characteristics and to perform morphometric analysis of the components of the aortic wall and its hemomicrocirculatory bed of the aorta in 6 and 8 weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. The material for the histological study included the sections of the wall of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta taken from 26 sexually mature white male rats weighing 100 - 160 g. For morphometric examination, a series of photos of the aortic wall was taken using a Meiji MT4300 LED microscope with an x40 objective, x10 ocular. The measurements were carried out using the Image J software. The development of micro - and macroangiopathies in experimental animals with 8-week streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was histologically confirmed. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in all morphometric parameters of the components of the aortic wall and the vessels of its hemomicrocirculatory bed after 8 weeks of experimental diabetes as compared with the normal values, control values, and in values obtained at the 6-week period of the experiment. The study has demonstrated clear dependence between the severity of destructive changes in the aortic wall and sections of its hemomicrocirculatory bed and the duration of the experiment.

The objective of the research was to determine the morphological features of the duodenal wall of animals within 14-56 days of developing streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus using light optical microscopy. Materials and Methods. The research was carried out on 40 white nonlinear adult male rats. Diabetes mellitus was simulated by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (Sigma, USA) at a dose of 60 mg/kg body weight. The material was taken from the duodenum on the 14th, 28th and the 56th days after the onset of experimental diabetes mellitus. For histological study, the preparations were made using the conventional method, which included the staining of sections with hematoxylin and eosin. Results. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was experimentally found to lead to dystrophic changes in the epithelial components of the duodenal mucosa from the 14th day of developing. There were observed a shortening of the villi of the mucous membrane and a lack of distinctness of striated border contours on the apical surface of epitheliocytes. Between the connective-tissue fibers of the lamina propria of the mucosa and thin-walled vessels, the cellular elements, including mainly macrophages, lymphocytes, were found. There was a shortening of the villi, edema and histiolymphocytic infiltration of the villous stroma 28 days after developing experimental diabetes mellitus. The epithelium covering was discontinuous; numerous areas of desquamation were found at the apex of the villi. Fifty-six days after developing experimental diabetes mellitus, the destruction and desquamation of the epithelium of the villi and crypts were observed. The surface of the duodenal mucosa smoothed down due to the shortening and flattening of the villi (indicating their atrophy), while the crypts elongated and their depth increased. Conclusions. Histological study of the duodenal wall of diabetic animals showed pronounced desquamation at the apex of the villi, destructive and dystrophic changes in the surface epithelium, edema and increased cellular infiltration of the lamina propria of the mucosa. Thus, in diabetes mellitus, structural changes in the duodenal wall of rats are characterized by the dystrophic processes, which can be considered as the morphological reflection of enteropathy.

Background. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, as well as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease (probably caused by atherosclerosis), are the leading cause of disability and mortality in people with diabetes. Objective. The purpose of our study was to determine the histostructural features and morphometric analysis of the components of the aortic wall and its hemomicrocirculatory bed after 2 and 4 weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. Methods. The samples for the histology were the sections of the wall of the ascending part, the aortic arch, and the descending part of the aorta of 26 mature white male rats weighing 100 - 160 g. For morphometric examination, a series of images of the aortic wall was taken using a Meiji MT4300 LED microscope with an x40 objective, x10 eyepiece. Results and conclusion. The measurements were carried out using the ImageJ software. The development of micro- and macroangiopathies in experimental animals with 8-week streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was histologically proved. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference of all morphometric parameters of both - the components of the aortic wall and the vessels of its hemomicrocirculatory bed after 4 weeks of experimental diabetes in comparison with the norm, control, and the 2-nd week of the experiment. An explicit dependency of the severity of destructive changes in the wall of the aorta and links of its hemomicrocirculatory bed of vessels on the duration of the experiment was determined.

The work is a fragment of the research project “Pathogenetic features of the allergic and inflammatory processes course and their pharmacocorrection”, conducted by the Department of Pathological Physiology, Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University (state registration No. 0116U004503). The aim of the work: to study the morphological features of the colon in the dynamics of the development of experimental acute peritonitis on the background of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods. The experiment used 48 white male rats. Diabetes mellitus in experimental animals was simulated by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (Sigma) at a rate of 60 mg/kg, acute disseminated peritonitis – the introduction of 0.5 ml of 10 % filtered fecal suspension into the abdominal cavity. A morphological study of the colon in animals removed from the experiment on the first, third and seventh days of acute peritonitis on the background of concomitant diabetes mellitus was performed. Results and Discussion. Morphological examination of the colon of animals on the first day of experimental acute peritonitis in conditions of concomitant streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus revealed an increase in the size of the crypts due to stroma edema and lymphohistiocytic infiltration, slight perivascular edema in the subclavian edema. On the third day, thickening of the mucous membrane of the colon, a sharp increase in the depth of the crypts, uneven blood supply to the vessels in the submucosal layer with a predominance of perivascular edema were verified. On the seventh day, a decrease in the thickness of the mucous membrane due to the expansion of the crypts was visualized. Part of the epitheliocytes was in a phase of increased secretory activity, the other part was dystrophically altered, which stimulated increased lymphocytic and histiocytic infiltration. These changes were accompanied by activation of reactive processes and hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles on the first day of peritonitis on the background of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, and as the severity of purulent inflammation – hypoplasia of the lymphoid tissue and a decrease in local reactivity(the third and seventh days of the development of acute peritoneal burning in conditions of combined pathology).

One of the four discrete isoenzymes of carbonic anhydrase hitherto characterized, CA III, has the lowest turnover rate and the greatest resistance to inhibition by sulphonamides. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus resulted in a reduction in acetazolamide-resistant activity of carbonic anhydrase in the liver, but not in tonic skeletal muscle, of adult male rats. The hepatic activity declined with apparent first-order kinetics [calculated rate constant (k) 0.089 day-1] to a minimum of approx. 6% of control values; the reduction in activity was moderated by administration of insulin.
