A burn wound occurs as a result of exposure to high-temperature skin or chemicals and is a serious injury with systemic effects. The problem of treatment of thermal trauma is urgent for modern medicine. Despite the fact that the overall mortality rate has dropped significantly in recent years, research about the development of new treatments and technologies for patients with skin burns is extremely important. The aim of the study is to research the features of electron microscopic changes in the skin of rats during the month after burns of II-III degree against the background of the introduction of the first 7 days of 0.9% NaCl solution. Studies were performed on 180 laboratory white rats-males weighing 155-160 g. In the course of the experiment, the animals were divided into 2 groups: 1 – rats without thermal injury, which were infused with 0.9% NaCl solution at a dose of 10 ml/kg; group 2 – rats which infused 0.9% NaCl solution at a dose of 10 ml/kg for 7 days after skin burns. Burning skin damage was caused by applying to the lateral surfaces of the trunk of rats for 10 seconds four copper plates, heated in water at a constant temperature of 100 C. The total area of skin lesion in rats was 21-23%. Shaving of the lateral surfaces of rats’ trunk, catheterization of veins, staging of skin burns, and decapitation of animals (after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days) were performed under intravenous propofol anesthesia (calculated at 60 mg/kg body weight). Preparations for electron microscopic examination were prepared according to the standard procedure. The data obtained were studied using a PEM-125K electron microscope. Electron microscopic studies of the skin of animals after thermal trauma under the conditions of application of 0.9% NaCl solution have found that in the early stages of the experiment – the stage of shock and early toxemia (1, 3, 7 days) compensatory and adaptive changes of its structural components are combined with signs of destructive disorders. In the epitheliocytes of the epidermis of the affected area of the skin is the destruction of nuclei and cytoplasm. Vascular disorders in the dermis are combined with changes in fibroblasts, an intercellular substance of fibrous connective tissue. In the late stages of the experiment – the stages of late toxemia and septicotoxemia (14, 21 and 30 days), there is a further development and deepening of destructive-dystrophic changes of all structural components of the affected skin, they become irreversible. The processes of granulation tissue formation, its transformation into connective tissue, as well as marginal epithelialization are slow. This morphological condition of the burn wound indicates the need for the use of corrective drugs to reduce destructive changes and the activation of regenerative processes in the area of skin lesions.

Burn disease is a complex of pathological changes that occur in the body due to the action of a thermal agent and are life-threatening. The problem of skin burns still remains relevant today. Insufficiently studied features of pathogenesis and methods of treatment of thermal trauma are the cause of considerable interest of scientists in this problem. The aim is to study the features of microscopic changes in the skin of rats during the month after grade II-III burn on the background of the introduction of the first 7 days of 0.9% NaCL solution. The studies were performed on 360 laboratory white male rats weighing 155-160 g. During the experiment, the animals were divided into 4 groups: 1st, 2nd groups – rats without thermal trauma infused with 0.9% NaCl solution and HAES-LX-5% at a dose of 10 ml/kg. In the 3rd, 4th groups, rats were infused with 0.9% NaCl solution and HAES-LX-5% at a dose of 10 ml/kg after skin burns. Burning skin damage was caused by applying to the lateral surfaces of the trunk of rats for 10 seconds four copper plates, heated in water at a constant temperature of 100°C. Histological preparations were prepared by standard procedure and examined using an OLYMPUS BH-2 light microscope. Conducted microscopic studies of the skin of animals after thermal trauma under the conditions of application of 0.9% NaCl solution found that in the early stages of the experiment (1, 3, 7 days) compensatory and adaptive changes of its structural components are combined with signs of destructive disorders. In the later periods of thermal trauma (14, 21 and 30 days), the destructive changes of the structural components of the skin in the lesion area deepen, and the process becomes irreversible.

For pathogenetically grounded therapy of burn disease, aimed at reducing the severity of the pathological process, the rapid recovery of microcirculation and stimulation of reparative processes, it is necessary to study the fine mechanisms of reparative regeneration in the skin on the microscopic and biochemical levels. The purpose of the study is to investigate the state of elastic and collagen fibers, as well as glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in the intercellular substance of the dermis of rats 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days after the burning of the II-III degree, with the background of the injection during first 7 days of 0.9% NaCl solution. An experimental study of structural changes in the skin after burn injury was performed on laboratory white rats, males weighing 150-160 g. Rats were divided into 2 groups, which previously, under the conditions of propofol anesthesia 60 mg/kg internally, catheterization of the femoral vein and depilation lateral surfaces of the trunk of rats. Group 1 - animals without thermal trauma of the skin, which once a day for the first 7 days were injected intravenous infusion of 0.9% NaCl solution in a dose of 10 ml per kg. Group 2 - animals who were also injected once a day with the first 7 days of infusion of 0.9% NaCl solution in a dose of 10 ml per kg after 2-3 degree skin burns, with a total area of 21-23% of the body surface of the rat. Euthanasia of rats was performed after propofol anesthesia (60 mg/kg i/v) by decapitation. Changes in the histochemical structure of bits of skin from the edge of the wound were studied after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days from the beginning of the experiment. Histological sections 5-6 microns thick were stained with Weigert’s elastic stain and dyed with picric acid by Van Gieson’s method (for the detection of elastic and collagen fibers); the PAS + Hale reaction was performed by the Moury method (detection of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in the intercellular substance of the dermis). The histochemical investigations of the area of the II-III degree of skin damaged by burns on the background of the injection of 0.9% NaCl solution found that the degree of change depends on the duration of the experiment. In the early stages of the experiment, the reorganization of the intercellular substance of the dermis manifests itself as damage to the fibrous structures of its papillary and reticular layers. Histochemically, the components of amorphous connective tissue substance are dominated by glycoproteins, the content of acidic glycosaminoglycans is small. In the late stages of the experiment (after 14, 21 and 30 days) in the connective tissue of the affected skin in the central and marginal regions poorly structured collagen and elastic fibers are observed. The pronounced “Hale”-positive coloration reflects an increase in the content of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the amorphous substance of the connective tissue. Thus, the experimental thermal trauma of skin II-III degree on the background of the introduction during the first 7 days, 0.9% of the NaCl solution is histochemically characterized by reorganization of the intercellular substance of the connective tissue of the dermis. In the early stages of the experiment there is damage to the fibrous structures of the papillary and reticular layers, the prevalence of glycoproteins and the insignificant content of acidic glycosaminoglycans in the amorphous substance, indicating a significant inhibition of adaptive-compensatory processes. In the long term, after the thermal defeat in the dermis, histochemically, an increase in the amount of acid glycosaminoglycans is detected and the PAS positivity of the collagen fibers of the intercellular substance is well expressed. This indicates a slow updating of the amorphous substance and fibrous structures of the connective tissue of the dermis, a violation of regenerative processes.

Results of light and electron microscopic examinations of cysts of unknown etiology (CUEs) occurring in the gills of Atlantic mackerel, red hake, white hake, cod, haddock, and silver hake are presented. CUEs were found also in gills and viscera of winter flounder, Atlantic croaker, spot, windowpane flounder, and sand lance. CUEs measured 150–400 μm in diameter and consisted of an external fibrous cuticle, usually a thick median band, and a central core that frequently contained eosinophilic vesicles. Structures resembling mitochondria were found in the band and in vesicles of the core, but no other organelles were apparent. Cytochemical staining and ultramicroscopy revealed aggregates of glycogen in the core ground substance; no structural components were stained with Sudan black B or by the Feulgen technique. Extensive encapsulation of CUEs by fibroblasts was typical. Of 717 mackerel examined, 76.8% had CUEs in the gills; numbers ranged from 1 to 353 per fish. The prevalence and intensity of occurrence of CUEs increased with the age of the mackerel.

BACKGROUND: Postmenopausal women experience undesired symptoms that adversely affect their quality of life. In the recent years, a specific 12 - week fractional CO2 laser treatment has been introduced, with highly significant relief of symptoms.AIM: The aim of this paper is the identification of the early modifications of structural components of atrophic vaginal mucosa induced by laser irradiation, which is responsible for the restorative processes.MATERIAL AND METHODS: We investigated by microscopical, ultrastructural and biochemical methods the modifications of the structural components of postmenopausal atrophic vaginal mucosa tissues after 1 hour following a single fractional laser CO2 application.RESULTS: In one hour, the mucosal epithelium thickens, with the maturation of epithelial cells and desquamation at the epithelial surface. In the connective tissue, new papillae indenting the epithelium with newly formed vessels penetrating them, new thin fibrils of collagen III are also formed in a renewed turnover of components due to the increase of metalloproteinase - 2. Specific features of fibroblasts support stimulation of their activity responsible of the renewal of the extracellular matrix, with an increase of mechanical support as connective tissue and stimulation of growth and maturation to epithelium thanks to new vessels and related factors delivered.CONCLUSION: We found the activation of regenerative mechanisms expressed both in the connective tissue - with the formation of new vessels, new papillae, and new collagen - and in the epithelium with the associated thickening and desquamation of cells at the mucosal surface.

The effect of monosodium glutamate on lymphoid organs remains insufficiently studied. Also, no less relevant is the issue of correction of changes caused by the action of monosodium glutamate. The aim of the study was to study the electron microscopic changes in the parenchyma of the lymph nodes of rats under the action of monosodium glutamate for six weeks and during correction with melatonin. The experimental study was performed on 66 white male and female rats of reproductive age. The structure of mesenteric lymph nodes of white rats under the conditions of physiological norm at the electron microscopic level was studied in 10 intact animals. Experimental animals were divided into 4 groups, each with 10 animals. The control was 16 white rats, which instead of a high-calorie diet (HCD) received a standard diet of vivarium. HCD was achieved by adding to the diet of monosodium glutamate at a dose of 0.07 g/kg body weight of rats. The dose of melatonin was 10 mg/kg body weight of rats, administered orally daily at the same time in the afternoon. The electron microscopic structure of the mesenteric lymph nodes of male and female rats of reproductive age of the intact and control groups corresponds to the species norm. The study showed that monosodium glutamate causes changes in the parenchyma of the lymph nodes as in alimentary obesity. After six weeks of HCD, the number of apoptically altered lymphocytes increases. That part of lymphocytes, which has no signs of karyorrhexis or karyolysis, has a karyolemma with deep intussusception, the cytoplasm is enlightened, the tubules of the granular endoplasmic reticulum in cells with signs of edema, dilated, mitochondrial ridges swollen, damaged. There are profound destructive changes in the cellular composition of the organ and violations at the level of all parts of the vascular bed. After six weeks of melatonin correction, the number of macrophages and plasma cells decreased, in some lymphocytes the nucleolus is not clearly expressed, the karyolemma is uneven, the cytoplasm is enlightened, the number of osmophilic (fatty) inclusions decreases both in the intercellular space and in the cytoplasm of the cell. Therefore, the introduction of melatonin led to a significant restoration of the structural organization, and hence the function of this organ.

Meetings of medical societies. Society of Physicians at Kazan University. General Sessions Session 4 March 1930 L.I. Vilensky. Towards the doctrine of the intravital coloration of the reticuloendothelial system in experimental animals. On the basis of a study of 267 animals of various species (rabbits, rats, pigs, white mice, white rats and dogs) the vivo coloring of trypanblau, pyrrholblau, carmine and collargol, the author comes to the following conclusions: 1) All active cellular elements of the indifferent connective tissue that has retained the embryonic properties of the mesenchyme. 2) Teaching-Aschoff's, in the light of intravital coloration, should be expanded, as the teaching of an active mesenchyme, scattered throughout the body, but united by common physiological properties. 3) The process of gradual absorption of colloidal paint in individual elements of the reticulo-endothelial system has a certain pattern, which is exactly the same in different animals.

Swelling tests in a series of isotonic and isoionic solutions of varying calcium-tosodium ratios were conducted on isolated dermal connective tissue of the holothurian Thyonella gemmata Verrill. The tissue swelled rapidly and attained a maximum volume increase of approximately 40 % when transferred from distilled water to NaCl solution; however, the volume did not change significantly in isotonic CaCl2 solution. At Ca2+/Na+ ratios ≤0.04 the tissue swelled at its maximum rate. The rate decreased with increasing calcium concentration, until at Ca2+/Na+ ≥0.40 no detectable swelling occurred. Similar results were obtained for Pentacta pygmaea Goldfuss. When tissues previously swollen in NaCl were placed in CaC2, the volume decreased significantly. Uniaxial tensile tests indicated that the elastic modulus of the tissue was much greater in Ca2+ solutions than in Na+ solutions. We hypothesize that dermal stiffness in holothurians is regulated by cation-sensitive crosslinks

AbstractHistological and histochemical observations reveal that there are two clusters of acidic polysaccharide secreting glands at the opening of the mouth into the oesophagus in Pagurus bernhardus and Clibanarius longitarsus. Below these there are structurally similar glands in the connective tissue of the oesophagus. The epithelial cells lining the hepatopancreatic main duct show secretory activity and they secrete acidophilic granular secretions, which are chemically similar to vertebrate pancreatic zymogen granules. Electron microscopic studies reveal the presence of secretory cells in the hepatopancreatic duct and the synthesis of zymogens within these cells. The time of release of these granular secretions synchronizes with the release of the food material into the midgut.
