Цель исследования. На 2 моделях острых генерализованных судорог (ОГС), вызванных конвульсантом пентилентетразолом (ПТЗ), изучить эффективность сочетанного применения ноотропа цитиколина - препарата с противосудорожным действием, нейрорегенеративной, нейропротекторной активностью и антител (АТ) к глутамату, обладающих противосудорожной активностью. Методика. Эксперименты выполнены на мышах-самцах линии C57Bl/6 (n = 87) массой 22-28 г. Эффективность сочетанного применения цитиколина и АТ к глутамату изучали на двух моделях ОГС. Выполнено 2 серии экспериментов. В 1-й серии ОГС вызывали внутривенным введением 1% раствора ПТЗ со скоростью 0,01 мл/с. Для изучения эффективности сочетанного применения препаратов определяли минимальное противосудорожное действие цитиколина (Цераксон, «Nicomed Ferrer Internaсional, S.A.») и АТ к глутамату при их внутрибрюшинном введении. С этой целью цитиколин вводили в дозах 500 и 300 мг/кг за 1 ч до введения ПТЗ, АТ к глутамату - в дозах 5 и 2,5 мг/кг за 1 ч 30 мин до введения ПТЗ. АТ к глутамату получали путем гипериммунизации кроликов соответствующим конъюгированным антигеном. Во 2-й серии ОГС вызывали подкожным введением ПТЗ в дозе 85 мг/кг. Для изучения эффективности сочетанного действия изучаемых препаратов последние вводили в минимально действующих дозах, установленных в 1-й серии экспериментов. Контролем во всех сериях опытов служили животные, которым вводили в аналогичных условиях и в том же объеме физиологический раствор. Результаты. Показано, что сочетанное применение цитиколина и АТ к глутамату в минимально действующих дозах (300 и 2,5 мг/кг соответственно) при моделировании ОГС не вызывало повышения судорожной активности мозга и усиления противосудорожных свойств препаратов. Заключение. Cочетанное применение цитиколина и АТ к глутамату в минимально действующих дозах не вызывало повышения судорожной активности мозга, что свидетельствует о безопасности совместного применения препаратов. Проведенное исследование может служить также экспериментальным обоснованием возможности использования сочетанного применения данных препаратов при судорогах с целью замедления прогрессирования нейродегенеративных процессов и благоприятного влияния на когнитивные функции. Aim. To study the effectivity of a combination of citicoline, a nootropic substance with neuroregenerative, neuroprotective, and anticonvulsant actions, and glutamate antibodies (АB) with an anticonvulsant action in two models of acute generalized convulsions (AGC) caused by the convulsant pentylenetetrazole (PTZ). Methods. Experiments were conducted on C57Bl/6 mice (n = 87) weighing 22-28 g. Effects of combined citicoline and glutamate АB were studied on two models of AGС. In the first series of experiments, AGС was induced by intravenous infusion of a 1% PTZ solution at 0.01 ml/sec. In the second series, AGС was induced by a subcutaneous injection of PTZ 85 mg/kg. To evaluate efficacy of the drug combination minimum intraperitoneal anticonvulsant doses of citicoline (Tserakson, Nicomed Ferrer Internacional, S.A.) and glutamate АB were determined. To this purpose, citicoline was administered at 500 and 300 mg/kg 1 h prior to PTZ, and glutamate АB was administered at 5 and 2.5 mg/kg 90 min prior to PTZ. Glutamate АB was obtained by hyperimmunization of rabbits with a respective conjugated antigen. In the second series of experiments, AGС was induced by a subcutaneous injection of PTZ 85 mg/kg. To evaluate the effect of the drug combination, the drugs were administered at the minimum effective doses determined in the first series of experiment. Control animals were injected with the same volume of saline in the same experimental conditions. Results. The combination of citicoline and glutamate AB used at minimum effective doses of 300 and 2.5 mg/kg, respectively, did not increase the seizure activity in the brain and enhanced anticonvulsant properties of the drugs in two models of AGС. Conclusion. The combination of citicoline and glutamate AT at minimum effective doses did not increase the convulsive activity in the brain, which supported safety of the drug combination. Besides, this study can serve as an experimental justification for using the drug combination in convulsions to favorably influence cognitive functions and slow progression of neurodegenerative processes.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.

To study the possibility and effectiveness of using succinylated gelatin (SG) for injecting endoscopic hemostasis. Material and methods. 70 albino non-linear rats. 0.5 ml of the solution has been injected into the anterior wall of the stomach with a syringe after laparotomy. A mixture of 0.9 % NaCl solution and epinephrine hydrothartrate (1.8 mg/1 ml) has been used in a ratio of 1:20 for the control group (35 animals). A mixture of a solution of SG (40 mg/1000 ml of injection water) and epinephrine hydrothartrate (1.8 mg/1 ml) in a ratio of 1:20 for the experimental group (35 animals). Right after the injection and in 1, 3, 6, 12 hours, after laparotomy, the stomach wall has been taken for histological examination, during which the thickness of the stomach wall (TSW) has been determined. Results. As soon as the injection has been given, the TSW in animals of both groups hasn`t differed significantly. The TSW has significantly increased in both of the groups, and the parameters of indicators in the experimental group have significantly raised in 1 h after the injection. In 3, 6, and 12 hours, the TSW in both groups has been decreasing. The parameters of indicators in the experimental group of animals have been significantly higher than in the control one all the time during the study. The indicators have barely differed from the initial ones in the control group 12 hours later, whereas in the experimental one they have been significantly higher. Histological studies have shown that the structure of stomach tissues in both groups hasn`t varied. The SG injection has not caused any negative effects on the tissues of the stomach wall. The thickness of the submucosa hasn`t been much modified right after the injection. The thickness (26.95±5.34 microns) has increased in the experimental group 12 hours later than in the control one (15.45±4.38 microns, p<0.01). Most of the vessels of the experimental group have remained compressed 12 hours later, whereas the diameter of the vessels of the control group has been growing. Conclusions. 1. The TSW hasn`t differed right after the injection (a mixture of 0.9 % NaCl and epinephrine solution and a mixture of SG and epinephrine solution) into the stomach wall. 2. 1 h later after the injection, the TSW has increased and its parameters after injection of a mixture with SG have been significantly higher. 3. In 3,6,12 h and later on, the TSW has been gradually reducing and its parameters after injection of a mixture with SG have been significantly higher each time. The thickness of the submucosa and the degree of compression of the vessels have also been considerably higher. 4. No negative changes in the structure of stomach tissues after injection of the mixture with SG have been detected. This allows it to be used for performing endoscopic hemostasis by injection therapy in clinical conditions.

Research on the composition of new types of food products, including those enriched with physiologically functional ingredients, is relevant and promising, since it allows us to organize public nutrition on a scientific and hygienic basis. The aim is experimental justification of the use of wild medicinal raw materials in food production. The methodological basis is a systematic analysis of the technology for the production of bakery products, non-alcoholic carbonated drinks and poultry sausages enriched with wild medicinal raw materials. In accordance with the chosen method, the problem of choosing and justifying the use of wild-growing phyto-enrichment agents of different species has been solved. It has been established that the introduction of phyto-enrichment agents has a positive effect on maturation processes of the dough. The use of wild medicinal raw materials is more justified in the form of herbal infusions. In the production of non-alcoholic carbonated drinks, drinks containing hawthorn, echinacea grass, linden flowers, lingonberry leaves, rose hips and thyme herbs have the most harmonious taste. In the production of sausages, wild-growing medicinal raw materials can be used as water-alcohol infusions and crushed raw materials. A water-alcohol infusion of fireweed narrow-leaved has the greatest inhibitory effect on the development of bacteria.

This paper describes a theoretical study on the formation of stratified combustible mixtures in closed long vertical flame tubes. The concentration profiles of the fuel (methane) in air, just before ignition took place, were predicted using a one-dimensional model involving molecular and convective diffusional processes. Phenomenological and experimental justification of the one-dimensional assumption was given and some of the predicted data were compared with experiment for different test conditions. The model appears to have successfully predicted the concentration profiles in some situations where other models failed.
