Цель исследования - изучение влияния электромагнитного излучения дециметрового диапазона на показатели антиоксидантной защиты в эритроцитах и плазме крови крыс. Методика. Эксперименты выполнены на крысах находившихся под влиянием электромагнитного поля дециметрового диапазона в течение 3-х мес. Проведен хемилюминесцентный анализ эритроцитов и плазмы крови животных. Интенсивность свободно радикального окисления в эритроцитах и плазме крови оценивали по показателям: максимальной интенсивности хемилюминесценции (Imax); светосуммы (S); светосуммы после максимального значения хемилюминесценции S(imax); коэффициентам Zlmax и Dec. Спектрофотометрически определяли содержание восстановленного глутатиона в эритроцитах. В плазме крови определяли содержание церулоплазмина, меди и железа. Анализ этих показателей был проведен в динамике исследования через 30, 60 и 90 сут. Результаты. Длительное (в течение 3 мес) нахождение животных в условиях действия электромагнитного поля приводит к изменениям показателей хемилюминесценции эритроцитов. Изменение показателей Imaх, S, Simax свидетельствует о нарушении процессов свободнорадикального окисления. В эритроцитах периферической крови крыс при этом установлено повышение содержания глутатиона. В плазме крови выявлено увеличение концентрации церулоплазмина и меди, снижение содержания железа. Заключение. Длительное нахождение животных в условиях действия электромагнитного поля приводит к нарушению равновесия в прооксидантно-антиоксидантной системе в эритроцитах. Антиоксиданты глутатион и церулоплазмин являются мишенью для действия электромагнитного излучения дециметрового диапазона. Установлено влияние длительного электромагнитного излучения на показатели минерального обмена: снижение содержания железа и увеличение содержания меди в плазме крови. The aim of the research was to study the effect of decimeter-range electromagnetic radiation on indexes of antioxidant defense in rat erythrocytes and blood plasma. Methods. Experiments were performed on rats exposed to decimeter-range electromagnetic field for three mos. Chemiluminescent analysis of erythrocytes and blood plasma was performed. Intensity of free-radical oxidation in erythrocytes and plasma was evaluated by parameters of maximum chemiluminescence intensity (Imax), light sum (S), the light sum after the maximum chemiluminescence value (imax), and ZImax and Dec coefficients. The content of reduced glutathione in peripheral blood erythrocytes and the plasma contents of ceruloplasmin, iron and copper were measured spectrophotometrically at 30, 60, and 90 days. Results. A long-term exposure of animals to the electromagnetic field for 3 mos. led to changes in chemiluminescent parameters of erythrocytes. The changes in Imax, S, and Simax indicated impairment of free-radical oxidation processes. The content of glutathione was increased in peripheral blood erythrocytes. The plasma contents of ceruloplasmin and copper were increased whereas the content of iron was decreased. Conclusion. The long-term exposure of animals to the electromagnetic field results in an imbalance of the erythrocyte pro-/antioxidant system. The antioxidants glutathione and ceruloplasmin are targets for the decimeter-range electromagnetic radiation. The study demonstrated the effect of long-term electromagnetic radiation on indexes of mineral metabolism evident as a decrease in the content of iron and an increase in the content of copper in the blood plasma.

Introduction.Pathological changes in human body due to light exposure at night are triggered by circadian disruption, inhibition of melatonin secretion by the pineal gland at night that leads to its reduction in blood. Clinical and experimental data indicate high importance of free radical oxidation inthe pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases. The aim of the study – to explore the influence of a melatonin deficiencyin addition to pleurisy on free radical oxidation in the tissues of the lungs of rats exposed to light for 30 days.Research Methods. Experiments were carried out on male albino Wistar rats. The animals were randomized into four groups with 7 animals in each: an intact group, 30 day pineal gland hypofunction, carrageenan pleurisy, 30 day pineal gland hypofunction with carrageenan pleurisy. Pineal gland hypofunction was modeled by 1500 lx fluorescent lamps around the clock. The experimental pleurisy was induced in anesthetized animals by intrapleural injection of 0.1 ml of carrageenan. Superoxide (•О2-) products were determined by the reaction with nitro blue tetrazolium under the influence of NADH, NADP and pirogenal. The concentration of diene conjugates was determined by I.D. Stalna technique, TBA-active products – by I.D. Stalna, T.H. Harishvili method, trienes, ketodienes, - by a modified method based on the molar extinction coefficient.Results and Discussion.Assessingthe intensity of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, a significantincrease of the •О2-level in all sources of its generation in the tissues of the lungs has been observed both in the control group with pleurisy and in the rats with 30-day pineal gland hypofunctionandpleurisy, compared to the intact animals.The chronic pineal gland hypofunction in the animals with experimental pleurisy lead to •О2- generationby the microsomal electron transport chain (ETC) by 54.6 % (р<0.05) when compared with carrageenan group of rats. No significant changes in concentration of the lipid peroxidation products has been observed in the animals with pleurisy during long-term light exposure.Conclusions. Chronic hypofunction of the pineal gland with the carrageenan-induced pleurisy causes activation of the free radical processes in the rats’ lung tissues and occur as hyperproduction of the superoxide anion radical by the microsomal chain of oxidation. This fact denotes probable abnormalities in the function of the microsomal electron transport chains especially under the condition change of properties of dehydrogenases.

Aim. To study the effects of combined dressings on the processes of free radical oxidation in patients with purulent wounds.Methods. The performance of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of whole blood from 30 healthy donors and 122 patients with purulent wounds, as well as tissue chemiluminescence of festering wounds tissue homogenates were examined before and after the treatment. To assess the free radical oxidation in vitro, spontaneous and zymosan-induced whole blood chemiluminescence measurement, iron-induced chemiluminescence assessment of festering wounds tissue homogenates were performed. The distribution of chemiluminescence parameters compared to normal expected distribution was analyzed to group homogeneity on these criteria.Results. Group of donors was homogeneous in composition that allowed the calculation of mean values. By changing in whole blood chemiluminescence of patients with soft tissue festering wounds, they were allocated to two groups, in which a marked increase or decline of the investigated parameters was seen. Increased luminol-dependent blood chemiluminescence indicates excessive free radicals generation by phagocytes and is characteristic of acute inflammation. Decreased intensity of chemiluminescence was observed in the blood of patients who showed reduced functional activity of phagocytes, which, together with the clinical features indicate a long-term smoldering inflammation. The comparative assessment of «Poliderm», «Voskopran», «Polysorb», «Levomekol» medications, used for local treatment of suppurative wounds, influence on free radical oxidation in model systems in vitro, was performed.Conclusion. There is a triple increase in chemiluminescence intensity in the acute phase of the inflammatory process, marking increased production of reactive oxygen radicals with microbicide activity); in long-term smoldering processes, chemiluminescence decreases by half, indicating reduced efficiency of protective mechanisms

The research results of level glycemia, contents of free radical oxidation products (thiobarbiturate-reactive substances, oxidized-modified proteins) in blood plasma and heart of diabetes mellitus rats with chronic alcohol intoxication are presented. It is shown, that at presence of a diabetes mellitus the chronic alcohol consumption does not change blood plasma levels of the oxidized-modified proteins, thiobarbiturate-reactive substances and glucose. However the contents of thiobarbiturate-reactive substances and oxidizing modification of proteins products in animals heart is more considerably increased at combination of the diabetes with chronic alcohol consumption, in comparison with changes at the diabetes mellitus outside of alcoholization and with changes at the isolated chronic alcohol influence. Found out alcohol-induced free radical processes hyperactivation in heart at the diabetes is capable to render additional injuring influence.

Introduction. Wound healing according to modern concepts is a coordinated process that passes through certain stages with the participation of different cells and products of its vital functions that regulate the healing process. It is well known that in patients with diabetes there is a violation of the process of wound healing, although until now, all the features of diabetes underlying such an inclination have not been fully understood.The aim of the study – to identify the features of oxidative stress on the background of diabetes mellitus in the rat's homogenate when different methods of closing wounds had been used. Research Methods. The experiment was conducted on 60 male rats weighing 280–320 g, which pre-simulated diabetes mellitus and surgical wounds. To detect the activation of free radical oxidation processes, the content of active forms of oxygen (AFC), lipid hydroperoxides (HPL), diene conjugates (DK) and trienic conjugates (TC) and oxidation modifications of proteins (OMP370 and OMP430). To study the antioxidant defense system, activity of superoxide dismutase was determined. Also, the activity of catalase and sulfhydryl groups (SH-groups) was determined.Results and Discussion. The research conducted by us showed that during the wounded process, on the background of diabetes, the activity of free radical oxidation processes increased. However, in the animal skin homogenates, which are labeled "Dermabond", all indices are significantly lower than in the group of animals that have been sewed over the course of all research periods. In the early stages of scar formation (3 days), an increase in the activity of the antioxidant defense system in both groups was observed. At the same time, in the experimental group of animals, which imposed the nodal seams, the activity of SOD and catalase significantly exceeded the skin index of animals, which applied glue and made (199.81±7.59) UM and (175.02±8.31) cat/kg, respectively.Conclusion. The use of skin glue reduces the intensity of the course of free radical oxidation in the cells of the scar tissue of the postoperative wound in conditions of diabetes mellitus in comparison with the imposition of nodal sutures on it: in the skin of animals, which is applied to the "Dermabond" glue, all indicators are significantly lower than in the group of animals, which imposed seam joints, throughout all research periods.

Aim. To study the processes of free-radical oxidation, antioxidant defense, energy metabolism, electrolyte metabolism, and cytokine system reflecting the state of the non-specific defense of the body in workers exposed to complex of toxic substances under the conditions of manufacturing, substantiating the importance of indicators of preclinical diagnosis of disease development risk.Methods. The study included 90 workers of JSC «Experimental Plant Neftekhim», 95 workers of JSC «Kaustic» and 101 workers of JSC «Ufa plant of elastomeric materials, products and structures». Materials for the study were blood, mixed saliva, gingival fluid and urine. The laboratory studies were performed to evaluate the free radical oxidation processes, antioxidant defense, energy metabolism, electrolyte metabolism, and cytokine system. Taking into account the features of industrial factors, particularly their effects on the workers bodies, routes of toxic compounds entry by inhalation, oral cavity and skin of the hands, three professional groups were formed (A, B, C). Group A included employees having constant contact with chlororganic compounds. The group B included persons who have constant contact with the higher and lower aromatic hydrocarbons. A group C consisted of employees who have constant contact with a mixture of chemicals: rubber compound containing carcinogens - benzo(a)pyrene, NDMA, nitrosodiethylamine; white carbon black, rubber dust, talc, amine compounds, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide. The control group consisted of employees of administrative and managerial staff.Results. The study revealed that one of the major pathogenetic mechanisms of action of chemical and petrochemical industry hazards is activation of free radical oxidation.Conclusion. Among the mechanisms of the influence of chemical contaminants of working environment a leading role play intensification of free radical oxidation processes, failure and/or inhibition of the antioxidant defense components.

Chronic Hyperglycemia

: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and DM-induced vascular complications are a significant global healthcare problem causing a decrease in patient quality of life. The main reason for the disability and mortality of patients is rapidly progressing micro- and macroangiopathies. Currently, free radical oxidation is recognized as one of the main mechanisms in the development of DM and associated complications. Under normal physiological conditions, the level of free radicals and antioxidant defense capabilities is balanced. However, imbalance occurs between the antioxidant defense system and pro-oxidants during chronic hyperglycemia and may invoke formation of excess free radicals, leading to activation of lipid peroxidation and accumulation of highly toxic products of free radical oxidation. This is accompanied by varying degrees of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance in DM patients. Simultaneously with the activation of free radical generation, a decrease in the activity of antioxidant defense factors (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, vitamins C and E) and an acceleration of diabetic complications is seen. Therefore, we hypothesize that antioxidants may play a positive role in the treatment of DM patients to prevent DM-induced vascular complications. However this has not been sufficiently studied. In this review, we discuss recent insights into the potential underlying mechanisms of oxidative stress induced diabetic complications, and implications of antioxidants in mitigation of DM-induced vascular complications.

Purpose of the study: to assess the state of lipid peroxidation processes in patients with kidney cancer in relation to the clinical factors of the prognosis of the disease and against the background of surgical intervention.Material and methods. For the study, we used blood plasma samples from 300 patients with kidney cancer T1–4N 0–1M0–1, obtained before surgery and 8–9 days after surgery. Oxidative stress was assessed by the intensity of free radical processes by the method of induced biochemiluminescence on the BKhL-07 biochemiluminometer apparatus (Medozons Co., Russia), the activity of lipid peroxidation processes was assessed by the accumulation of initial products in the blood plasma – diene conjugates (DC), triene conjugates (TC) and fial Schiff bases (OSh) according to I. A. Volchegorsky et al. method. (1989). Statistical processing of the results was carried out using Statistica 12 and Microsoft Offie Excel 2010 programs.Results. In patients with kidney cancer, there was a decrease in the level of DC, an increase in OSh and the ratio of Osh / (DC + TC) compared with the control (p ≤ 0.05), against the background of depletion of the resources of the antioxidant defense system. The content of DC did not differ from the norm with the size of the primary tumor of the kidney pT1–pT2 and decreased (p ≤ 0.05) in the case of the presence of the tumor pT3–pT4. At the same time, there was an increase in the OSh content (p ≤ 0.05). In patients with thrombi in the inferior vena cava system, a decrease in the level of DC was observed (p ≤ 0.05), the OSh level did not differ from that of healthy individuals. In the postoperative period, there was an increase in the content of DC (p ≤ 0.05) and a decrease in the Osh / (DC + TC) coeffiient (p ≤ 0.05) compared with the initial level.Conclusion. Kidney cancer is accompanied by the activation of free radical oxidation processes against the background of depletion of the resources of the antioxidant defense system. Changes in the pro-antioxidant homeostasis are interrelated with the size of the primary tumor and the presence of a tumor thrombus. In the postoperative period, the activity of free radical oxidation processes in the patient’s body decreases.
