The inaccessibility of rat embryos in vivo has prompted several previous attempts to grow them in culture. It has been shown that embryos explanted at head fold or early somite stages with their membranes will develop on the surface of plasma-embryo extract clots (New & Stein, 1964; New, 1966 a) or in homologous liquid plasma or serum (Nicholas & Rudnick, 1934, 1938; Jolly & Lieure, 1938; New, 1966a, b). The explants can conveniently be cultured in watch glasses, as in the standard tissue culture method of Fell & Robison (1929), and development is improved if they are incubated in 60–90% O2 and 3–5% CO2. Under these conditions the older embryos grow well for 30–40 h developing to 25- to 30-somite stages. However, no embryos have been observed to develop much further than this, and those explanted at stages more advanced than 30 somites have always died fairly quickly.

Abstract 1. An in vitro method to observe radiosensitivity of stem cells was developed in the present study. In vivo and in vitro effect of 60Co irradiation on the erythropoietin-induced stem cell differentiation into erythroblasts was observed, using a tissue culture method of polycythemic mouse spleen. Response to erythropoietin was demonstrated by an appearance of heme synthesis and erythroblasts in spleen fragments. 2. A significant correlation between the rate of appearance of erythroblasts and heme synthesis of the spleen fragments was observed. 3. After irradiation, marked impairment of both heme synthesis and production of erythroblasts was observed, yielding D37 values in the vicinity of 70 r in vivo and 120 r in vitro irradiation, respectively. 4. Marked recovery of erythropoietin-induced heme synthesis in the polycythemic mouse spleen was observed 9 days after 300 r irradiation, with an "overshooting" phenomenon on the 12th day.

Background. The creation of polymeric composite materials with pronounced biological activity, which are able to act as implants with local prolonged action of the immobilized substance can be widely used in medical practice. Objective. Study of cellular reactions of surrounding tissues of experimental animals to implantation of polymeric composite materials based on isocyanurate-containing polyurethanes with ifosfamide, study of histotoxicity of the obtained materials by tissue culture method. Methods. Polymeric composite materials based on isocyanate-containing polyurethanes without and with ifosfamide were implanted into the body of white laboratory Wistar rats. Cellular responses of the organism and possible changes in the structure of test specimens after implantation were studied by light microscopy by analysis of histological micropreparations. In order to study the peculiarities of the dynamics of growth and development of fibroblastic elements, the method of tissue culture was used. Results. Conducted biological studies by in vivo and in vitro methods allowed to evaluate the effect of immobilized ifosfamide in the structure of isocyanurate-containing polyurethanes on cellular reactions of surrounding tissues during implantation in experimental animals, as well as the effect of extracts from developed polymer samples on cultured cell growth. Conclusion. It was found that the implantation of isocyanurate-containing polyurethanes with ifosfamide led to the development of intense cellular reactions in the area of implant placement, primarily the reaction of round cell elements. The presence of ifosfamide in the structure of the polymeric implantation material probably affected the proliferation of cellular elements, inhibited regenerative processes in the early stages of the study and delayed the formation of a mature connective tissue capsule around the implanted samples. The tissue culture method showed that when making an extract of isocyanurate-containing polyurethanes with ifosfamide in the culture medium, there was a large variability of cell forms, which led to the appearance of macrophage-like elements.

The author has shown in a series of experiments that the tissue culture method is quite applicable for the study of anaerobic bacteria and their toxins, especially those of them that are significantly weakened by filtration.
