The purpose of the research was to study the effect of a phytocomplex containing herbal extracts of R. carthamoides, S. coronata, F. ulmaria on blood biochemistry of milking sows, the development and viability of piglets born by the time of weaning. For the experiment, the animals were divided into an experimental (Phytoadditive) and a control (SPK-2 compound feed) groups, 10 animals each. Phytoadditive in dry form was introduced into the diet of pigs of the experimental group during the sucking period (30 days) daily, once per head per day - 10 grams (individually). Before the beginning and at the end of the experiment, the blood of sows was examined for biochemical parameters. The multiplicity, the quality of the piglets born, the weight of the nest and one pig after birth and before weaning, as well as viability were determined. As the result, it was found that the concentration of the investigated extractives in the Phytoadditive was 13.5 g/kg, of which 10.5 g were ecdysteroids and 3.0 g of flavonoid rutin. Significant changes in the total protein content in the blood compared with the beginning of the experiment were noted in experimental pigs from 60.2±0.5 to 67.3±0.2 g/l (P <0.05) and in the control group from 61.0±0.2 to 66.1±0.1 g/l (P <0.05), the "Ca" content from 2.1±0.01 to 2.7±0.02 mmol/l (P <0.05) in the experimental group and from 2.0±0.01 to 2.5±0.02 mmol/l (P <0.05) in the control groups, while being within the normal range. The amount of albumin significantly increased only in the experimental group from 40.8±1.2 to 49.3±2.8 g/l (P <0.05), in the control from 42.2±2.1 to 46.0±1.5 g/l (P> 0.05). The number of piglets with low viability in the experimental group was 2 times less than in the control group. The viability of piglets in the experimental group by the time of weaning was 92.6 %, in the control ‒ 83.2 %.

Purpose: to study the effect of ethanol on the parameters of THC, the percentage of granulocytes and total protein in the hemolymph of the Red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus).Materials and methods. The object of this experiment was 26 males of the Australian red-clawed crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) weighing from 23 to 83 g. The individuals were evenly divided into two experimental groups - with an injection of ethanol and a control group without an injection of 13 crayfish for each group. The injection dose was 2515 mg per 100 g of body weight. A day after the introduction of ethanol, hemolymph was taken with a syringe from the ventral sinus, the syringe was pre-washed with a 4% EDTA-Na2 solution. Three parameters were determined: the total hemocyte count (THC), percent granulocytes and percent total protein content. Counting of hemocytes and determination of granulocytes were performed in a Goryaev chamber under a light microscope. The total protein was determined by the refractometric method.Results. Differences in THC and total protein between the groups were statistically unreliable (p>0,05). THC in the experimental group is 36% more than in the control group. The total protein after the introduction of ethanol actually increased by 0,7%, and relatively by 14%. There were statistically different indicators of the proportion of granulocytes (p<0,05) - the average value of 33,1% in the experimental group versus 24,5% in the control group. A reliable (p<0,05) strong feedback was revealed between the total protein and the mass of individuals in both experimental groups, while in the experimental group there is a visible shift in the values of dependent hemolymph indicators towards an increase in smaller individuals.Conclusion. A single injection of ethyl alcohol with a dosage of 2515 mg per 100 g of body weight into the hemolymph of C. quadricarinatus does not cause significant changes in the THC and total protein after 24 hours. At the same time, the proportion of granulocytes actually increases by 9%, relative to 37%. This may indicate that granulocytes are involved in the formation of cancer defense mechanisms when exposed to toxic substances. The effect of different dosages of ethanol injections and the duration of its effect on hematological parameters requires additional consideration. It is necessary to investigate its effect on other indicators, such as the pH and buffer capacity of the hemolymph, the concentration of hemocyanin, glucose, lactates and calcium.

Tools And Methods

The mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is easily the immediate effects of the environment, while contact with air that is inhaled, so pneumonia is common in dogs. For the treatment of dogs, sick with  catarrhal bronchopneumonia there are a number of tools and methods, but they are not always effective. Moreover, many of these methods have long waiting period of action and significant side effects. Thet is why the purpose of our research  work was to find effective and biologically safe treatment of dogs, sick with catarrhal bronchopneumonia and installation pharmacological effectiveness of complex antihomotoxic preparations Traumel (ad us.vet) and Phosphor-Homakkord (ad us.vet). The material for the study were 40 dogs aged 1 to 3 years old, weighing 34 to 43 kg (German and East-European sheep-dog), sick with acute catarrhal bronchopneumonia. Each animal was subjected to clinical and hematology research. Sick animals were divided in to four groups: ten animals to each group. First and second – control groups, third and fourth – experimental groups. In the first group we used mukaltyn 0.5 g orally twice a day up to recovery, bitsillin 3 50 th. UA / kg once every three days by intramuscular injection, dissolving in 2 ml of isotonic sodium chloride and vitamin B12 1 ml once a day subcutaneously for 10 days. In the second control group instead of bitsillin-3 was used antibiotic combi-kell 1 ml per 10 kg weight of body subcutaneously once every three days up to recover.In the third and fourth groups we used the lymphotropic complex antihomotoxic therapy with using the homeopathic preparations Traumel and Phosphor-Homakkord in conjunction with traditional means. Thus, in the third group was used inside mukaltyn 0.5 g twice a day up to recovery, bitsillin 3 50 th.UA / kg once every three days vnutrishom'yazovo dissolving in 2 ml of isotonic sodium chloride lidasa intradermally 32 IU with 1 ml of 0.5% solution of novocaine 3 days in a row, then 3 times a week, Traumel regional lymphotropic three consecutive days to 1 ml intradermally, then every three days and Phosphor- Homakkord lymphotropic regionally 1 ml 1 every 3 days to recovery . In the fourth experimental group used the same treatment, but instead of bitsillin-3 was used Combi-Kell 1 ml / 10 kg subcutaneously once every three days to recover.The results of our researches show that using of complex anthyhomotoxic therapy is appropriate and therapeutically effective versus conventional therapy.So despite the fact that there are a wide number of preparations and methods for treatment of dogs, sick with catarrhal bronchopneumonia, they are not always effective. As shown by our researches, using of compex anthyhomotoxic lymphotropic with the preparations Traumel and Phosphor-Homakkord reduces the duration and improve the quality of treatment.

The results of the application of a complex of Zinc and Manganese chelates to protein, macro- and micro-mineral exchanges in the body of broiler chickens of the Cobb 500 cross-breed are presented. The administration of Zn and Mn chelates in a dose of 0,2 ml/l for chicken broilers of 23 days of age (1st experimental group) during 14 days influenced the increase in the total protein content to 35,3±0,8 g/l, which is 8 % higher compared with the control – 32,5±0,7 g/l (p<0,01 ) The concentration of total Calcium in serum of broiler chickens 37-day-old (end of trial) was higher in the first experimental group by 7,3 % (2,05±0,06 mmol/l) compared to control – 1,9±0,03 mmol/l. In the second group, where chelates were administered in a dose of 0,4 ml/l of water, the Calcium content was 2,0±0,02 mmol/l, which is 5 % more than the control group. The two-week application of Zn and Mn chelates also led to an increase in the level of inorganic Phosphorus in the serum of the first group to 2,6±0,12 mmol/l (+ 11,5 %) compared with the control group. After administration of chelates Zn and Mn at doses of 0,2 ml/l water, the Zinc content was higher by 4,3% (23,5±0,2 μmol/l) compared to control – 22,5±0,34 μmol/l (p<0,01). In the second group, where the dose of chelates was 0,4 ml/l, the concentration of Zinc was 23,6±0,16 μmol/l, which is more than 4,6 % for control (p<0,01). At the end of the study, the content of Manganese in serum of broiler chickens in the first group was 1,9±0,07 μmol/l (p<0,05), which is 10,4% higher compared with the control – 1,7±0,06 μmol/l (3rd sampling). The level of this element in the second group was 2,0±0,08 μmol/l (p<0,01), which is higher by 16,7 % relative to the control. At the end of the experiment, the coupon concentration in the first and second experimental groups was 12,6 and 9,3 % higher, compared with control, 7,0±0,37 μmol/l. In turn, the serum Ferrum content of the first group was greater by 9,3 % (19,3±0,69 μmol/l), and the second by 6,7 % (18,8±0,47 μmol/l) compared to the bird of the control group.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exercises on a stabilometric platform on the physical fitness and mobility of patients with lung cancer after thoracic surgery. The Experimental Group included 22, and the Control Group consisted of 21 patients. All included patients were enrolled after thoracic surgery due to lung cancer. The Experimental and Control Groups were enrolled in a 3-week in-hospital pulmonary rehabilitation program. The Experimental Group additionally performed daily 20-min training sessions on a stabilometric platform. Agility and flexibility were assessed with the Fullerton test before and after rehabilitation in both groups, and quality of life was assessed with the SF-36 questionnaire. Exercise performance stated as a distance in a 6 min walking test (6MWT) significantly improved in both groups with a medium effect size. The results of the Fullerton test indicated improvements in flexibility in both groups after the completion of the program without a significant difference between the groups and with a small effect size. In the Experimental Group, the best results were observed in the Arm curl (p = 0.0001), Chair stand (p = 0.04), Up and go (p = 0.001) and Chair sit and reach (p = 0.0001) tasks. No deterioration in the quality of life was observed in the Experimental or the Control Group after the completion of the program. Between-group analyses revealed significant differences in the Role-Physical (RP) (p = 0.020) and Mental-Health (MH) (p = 0.025) domains of the SF-36. The rehabilitation program with a stabilometric platform improved agility and flexibility of patients after thoracic surgery without an effect size or significant differences between the Experimental and Control Groups.

The present article reports a study carried out to investigate whether or not awareness of ST culture has any impact on the translation quality of translator trainees. 20 Iranian graduated from English translation took part in this study. They were divided into two groups, one experimental and one control groups. After homogenizing the participants through a TOEFL test, a translation pre-test was given to them and then cultural backgrounds of ST were taught to the experimental group who were later required to use the taught material in their classroom translation practice during one academic semester. The control groups were run traditionally as widely practiced in Iranian graduated translation classes. A translation post-test was given to all the groups at the end of the semester. The statistical results demonstrate a significant difference between the pre- and post- tests in the experimental group as compared with the control group.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and chronic functional disorder, yet few studies have demonstrated the effects of IBS health education. Methods: This study was conducted at the gastrointestinal (GI) clinic of a hospital. A parallel-design control trial for IBS women, in which health education was implemented via individual instruction and the Self-Care Manual for IBS Women, was carried out. The questionnaire utilized in this study covered three areas, namely IBS symptom disturbance and frequency, quality of life, and days of drugs use. The intervention effects were assessed four weeks and eight weeks after the intervention and estimated using the GLMM model (generalized linear mixed model). Results: The experimental and control groups consisted of 31 and 30 participants, respectively. The assessment indicated that health education intervention had significantly reduced symptom frequency in the experimental group after four weeks (β = -2.60, P < 0.01) and after eight weeks (β = -3.30, P < 0.01); significantly reduced symptom disturbances after four weeks (β = -5.01, P < 0.01) and after eight weeks (β = -4.79, P < 0.01). Quality of life for both groups increased after eight weeks, with the experimental group experiencing a greater increase than the control group (β = 15.20, P > 0.05). Drug use decreased by an average of 6.23 days (P < 0.01) and 1.3 days (P > 0.05) in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Conclusions: IBS health education had a positive effect on symptom frequency and disturbance, quality of life and days of drug use.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of granular compound feeds with the introduction of probiotic preparation «Prostor», «Sporotermin» and sorbent «Fungistat-GPK» for fattening young rabbits. Studies of the effectiveness of full-size granulated feed were conducted on a population of young rabbits at the age of 45 days, selected according to the principle of groups of analogues and divided into 3 groups in the conditions of a private farm "O. V. Kuznetsova" 15 individuals were selected in each group. The live weight of the experimental groups exceeded the control group's peers when they reached age: 75 days by 85.0 and 251.0 g or 3.99 and 11.80%, 90 days - by 225, 0 and 435, 0 g or 9.04 and 17.49 % and 105 days-139.0 and 245.0 g or 4.37 and 7.70 %. The average daily increase in the control group was 26.55 g, in the experimental group 27.70 and 29.56 g, respectively. Hematological indicators of blood in the experimental groups indicate an increase in the number of red blood cells at the end of fattening (5,35-6,49 1012/l), and there is an increase in the total protein content in rabbits of the experimental groups to 75.82 and 75.99 g/l, which exceeds the values of this indicator of the control group by 3.45 and 0.17 g/l or 4.75 and 0.23%. This trend indicates an intensification of metabolic processes and the possible receipt of the largest increases in live weight. It was found that rabbits of the experimental groups had a slaughter yield of 63.01 and 65.03%, which exceeded the values of this indicator (56.84%) of the control group. The inclusion of enriched compound feeds in feed rations will help to improve the safety and productivity of reared rabbits and creates prerequisites for the large-scale use of these feed resources in the conditions of industrial rabbit breeding.

The researchers investigated the effect of new probiotic Vetom 1 based on apathogenic bacilli on the biochemical parameters of blood serum, exactly protein, albumins and urea in lactating cows. The experiment was carried out at OOO “Uchkhoz Tulinskoe”. According to the principle of pair-analogues, the researchers arranged a control group and two experimental groups of cows; each group contained 7 cows. The cows of the 1st experimental group were fed with probiotic Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg once a day in the morning before milking; They received Vetom 1 every day during 5 days, then in a day during a month. The cows from the 2nd experimental group received probiotic Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg once a day in the morning before milking, every day during 30 days. The application of the specimen contributed to a decrease in the concentration of total protein in the blood serum within the physiological norm. The aftereffect caused by Vetom 1 when the specimen was applied 5 days every day, then in a day during a month, the authors observed an increase in the concentration of total protein in the blood serum above the physiological standard on the 180 day of application. The similar effect was not observed when Vetom 1 was applied daily. When using Vetom 1, the authors observed a slight increase in the concentration of albumins in the blood serum, both during the period of application and up to 180 days. The specimen contributes to less prominent increase in the concentration of urea in the blood serum in comparison with the control group. Changes in concentrations of albumins and urea occurred within the physiological norm.
