The aim of the study is to increase the morphological and functional status of cows depending on their physiologi-cal state. The morphological composition of blood is one of the main informative systems and has long attracted the attention of researchers. Blood, as a co-single tissue, has been studied well enough. Its indicators are the main fac-tors in determining the state of an animal health, as well as pointing out the presence of pathological processes in inside the organism. To determine the effect of complex use of STEMB (embryonic stimulator) and Uteromastin on the blood parameters of cows in comparison with individual administration three groups of pregnant cows (7.0-8.0 months) were formed separately, each with 20 heads in compliance with the method of groups-analogues (experimental-1, experimental-2, experimental-3). Animals in groups to be examined were provided the same con-ditions both in feeding and keeping. Animals of the first experimental group 25-30 days before calving were admin-istered STEMB drug hypodermic in the neck at a dose of 0.075 ml per 1 kg of live weight with an interval of 7 days three times, animals of the second experimental group were administered the drug Uteromastin 8-10 hours after calving intrauterine at a dose of 150 ml once. Cows of the third experimental group were administered drugs STEMB and Uteromastin in these doses (mixed). The influence of the complex use of drugs STEMB and Utero-mastin on morphological, biochemical and immunobiological parameters of blood of cows were studied on the 15th day after calving. The use of the drugs STEMB and Pteromalid complex improves cellular composition of the blood and indices of the blood serum, which enhances immunotoxicol system of organism of cows.

Procalcitonin Level

The study of the protein composition of the ejaculate is devoted to a significantly smaller number of studies than the characterization of the cellular composition of sperm and the characterization of spermatozoa. Objective: to investigate the concentration of procalcitonin (PCT) in seminal plasma and serum in normal conditions and with oligozoospermia. Materials and methods. 88 men were examined (the main group - 40 men with oligozoostantenospermia, the comparison group - 48 men with a normal concentration of spermatozoa). Results and discussion. The concentration of PCT in seminal plasma in the examined patients (n = 88) was almost 10 times higher than its serum content and amounted to 0.349 ± 0.370 ng/ml versus 0.037 ± 0.027 ng/ml (p0.000001). In patients with oligozoospermia the contents of the PC has exceeded the value of the comparison group (p = 0,0095). Serum PCT concentrations in blood serum did not differ between groups (p = 0.605). There were no statistically significant correlations between the level of PCT and other indicators of sperm (sperm concentration, their total content and volume of ejaculate). Summary. The content of PCT in seminal plasma does not depend on its level in blood serum. A higher content of PCT in the ejaculate compared to serum indicates its local production in the reproductive system. The increased procalcitonin level in seminal plasma may indicate decreased fertility of the ejaculate.

In 1968, Sugimura and Yanagawa described a small 25 nm virus like particle in association with the Matsuda strain of infectious canine hepatitis virus (ICHV). Domoto and Yanagawa showed that this particle was dependent on ICHV for its replication in primary dog kidney cell cultures (PDK) and was resistant to heating at 70°C for 10 min, and concluded that it was a canine adeno-associated virus (CAAV). Later studies by Onuma and Yanagawa compared CAAV with the known human serotypes (AAV 1, 2, 3) and AAV-4, known to be associated with African Green Monkeys. Using the complement fixation (CF) test, they found that CAAV was serologically related to AAV-3 and had wide distribution in the dog population of Japan.

Host Cell Interaction

The cause of bluecomb disease in turkeys is unknown. Filtration of infective intestinal contents suggests a viral origin. To date, it has not been possible to isolate the etiologic agent in various cell cultures. The purpose of this work was to characterize as many virus-like entities as were recognizable in intestines of both healthy and bluecomb-infected turkeys. By a comparison of the viral populations it was hoped that some insight might be gained into the cause of this disease. Studies of turkey hemorraghic enteritis by Gross and Moore (Avian Dis. 11: 296-307, 1967) have suggested that a bacteriophage-host cell interaction may bear some causal relationship to that disease.

The purpose of this paper is to present observations on the fine structure of rat granulosa cell cultures grown in the presence of an adenohypophyseal explant and to correlate the morphology of these cells with progestin secretion. Twenty-six day old immature female rats were given a single injection of 5 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMS) in order to obtain ovaries with large vesicular follicles. At 66 hrs. post-PMS administration (estrus indicated by vaginal smear cytology), the ovaries were removed and placed in a petri dish containing medium 199 and 100 U penicillin/streptomycin (P/S)/ml. Under a 20X magnification dissecting microscope, some 5-8 vesicular follicles/ovary were punctured and the granulosa cells were expressed into the surrounding medium. The cells were transferred to centrifuge tubes and spun down at 1000 rpm for 5 mins.

A new virus, established as a member of the herpesvirus group by electron microscopy, was isolated from spontaneously degenerating cell cultures derived from the kidneys and lungs of two normal tree shrews. The virus was found to replicate best in cells derived from the homologous species. The cells used were a tree shrew cell line, T-23, which was derived from a spontaneous soft tissue sarcoma. The virus did not multiply or did so poorly for a limited number of passages in human, monkey, rodent, rabbit or chick embryo cells. In the T-23 cells, the virus behaved as members of the subgroup B of herpesvirus, in that the virus remained primarily cell associated.

Last year we reported on the use of reflected light interference microscopy (RLIM) for the direct color photography of the surfaces of living normal and malignant cell cultures without the use of replicas, fixatives, or stains. The surface topography of living cells was found to follow underlying cellular structures such as nuceloli, nuclear membranes, and cytoplasmic organelles, making possible the study of their three-dimensional relationships in time. The technique makes possible the direct examination of cells grown on opaque as well as transparent surfaces. The successful in situ electron microprobe analysis of the elemental composition and distribution within single tissue culture cells was also reported.This paper deals with the parallel and combined use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the two previous techniques in a study of living and fixed cancer cells. All three studies can be carried out consecutively on the same experimental specimens without disturbing the cells or their structural relationships to each other and the surface on which they are grown. KB carcinoma cells were grown on glass coverslips in closed Leighto tubes as previously described. The cultures were photographed alive by means of RLIM, then fixed with a fixative modified from Sabatini, et al (1963).
