The aim of the work was to study the effect of immunomodulators "Imunofan" and "Fosprenil" on the intensity of nitric oxide (II) formation and the morphological composition of blood in calves. Increased levels of stable nitric oxide (II) metabolites in the blood plasma of calves after the use of immunomodulators indicates the participation of NO in nonspecific immunity reactions. Also the established relationship between the level of stable nitric oxide (II) metabolites and the number of stab neutrophils proves that NO is one of the regulators of neutrophil activity.

BACKGROUND. Oxidative status impairment plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of SLE and lupus nephritis (LN). The data about oxidative status in this disease are incomplete, that’s why it’s necessary to use a new approach to study it. THE AIM: To study oxidative status in SLE patients with kidney involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS:53 patients with SLE were included in this prospective study, among them 40 patients with different severity of kidney involvement, control group were 87 healthy donors. Oxidative stress parameters were measured: antioxidant activity (AOA) of blood plasma and parameters, characterizing the state of the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) – neutrophils, more specifically: specific spontaneous neutrophil activity, specific stimulated activity (peak and integral), coefficient of respiratory burst attenuation, representing the rate of free radical production decrease after stimulation, the higher the value of this parameter, the slower is free radical production decrease. RESULTS. It was shown elevation of neutrophil free radical-producing activity parameters and elevation of blood plasma AOA in patients with LN, comparing to healthy controls. Immunosuppressive therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GCS) and cytostatics (CS) increased blood plasma AOA comparing to monotherapy with GCS. A correlation between oxidative status impairment and intensity of inflammatory reactions was found: correlation of respiratory burst attenuation coefficient with blood sedimentation rate was shown. Reduction of spontaneous free radical-producing neutrophil activity was found in LN patients with NS, which might be the result of neutrophil functional activity attenuation in high disease activity. CONCLUSION. The increased free radical-producing neutrophil activity was shown, which might be the cause of oxidative stress in SLE with LN. It seems warranted investigation of these parameters in samples of larger volume to search targets aimed at neutrophils. The necessity of antioxidant therapy in patients with SLE seems doubtful, as they show significant increase of blood plasma AOA, which might result from compensatory reaction of human organism to oxidative stress and therapy with GCS and CS.

model of chronic gastritis and duodenitis was conducted in 48 immature Wistar rats both gender by intragastric injection of medical bile. Control group consisted of 10 animals. After approximation model of the gastritis and duodenitis rats were divided into five subgroups: the 1st subgroup (before treatment, 9 rats), subgroup 2 (10 animals) received the antioxidant, subgroup 3 (11 animals) – received NO donator, subgroup 4 (10 animals) - received an antioxidant and NO donator, subgroup 5 (8 animals) – received the antioxidant, NO donator and calcium carbonate. In rats with gastritis and duodenitis was observed redistribution of stable metabolites of nitric oxide: decreasing level in the gingival homogenates and increasing in the blood plasma. Level of malondialdehyde and aldehyddehydrogenase in the gingival tissue increased, and in the blood plasma decreased, on a background of catalase activation; content of ketone phenilhydrazone remained in the level of control group. Decreasing markers of oxidation lipids and proteins in the blood plasma, on a background of increasing levels of catalase and nitric oxide metabolites (in 14 times), indicates about a key role of NO in the antioxidant protection of organism in a case of disease.Application of antioxidant could not impact on the indicators of oxidation lipids and proteins. It had been shown decreasing content of the nitric oxide metabolites in the gingival tissues and blood plasma. Drug correction with donator of nitric oxide have to increase markers of oxidation lipids and proteins in the gingival tissues, on a background of high catalase activity and low levels of nitric oxide metabolites. In the blood plasma content of nitric oxide metabolites was higher, which indicated about an active inflammatory process in the stomach and duodenum mucosa. Indicators of the protein molecules fragmentation and malondialdehyde were not differ from those before treatment. Level of catalase was in two times higher, than in the control group, but level of superoxide dismutase was decreased. Complex of antioxidant and donator of nitric oxide helped to stabilise the indicators of oxidation lipids and proteins, although level of nitric oxide metabolites in the gingiva was significantly decreased. Application complex from the antioxidant, donator of nitric oxide and calcium carbonate at the treatment of chronic gastritis and duodenitis restored an oxidative-antioxidative status in the blood plasma and gingival tissues, increasing the production of nitric oxide to a level in the control group.

Abstract High levels of nitric oxide (NO) can signal nitrosative stress, but its analysis is challenging considering the high reactivity, short half-life and transient behavior of this target molecule in biological milieu. In this work, a cardanol-based salophen-modified carbon paste electrode (CDN-salophen/MCPE) was developed and successfully applied to assess NO bioavailability in blood plasma of mice under induced stress. The results revealed that the modifier improved the device performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, charge-transport and fouling resistance. NO reactivity on CDN-salophen/MCPE was higher in 0.1 mol L‒1 H2SO4, and the resulting redox process involves adsorption steps that control the reaction kinetics. Monitoring molecule oxidation by square-wave voltammetry (100 s−1 frequency, 30 mV amplitude, 2 mV scan increment, after electrode preconditioning at 0.9 V for 15 s for analyte accumulation), it was possible to identify and quantify NO with great sensitivity (detection and quantification limit < 0.1 µmol L‒1) and low data variance (RSD ≤ 9.4% for repeatability and reproducibility tests), through a simple, fast and reliable electroanalytical protocol. The robustness acquired with CDN-salophen/MCPE allowed to detect changes in NO content in blood plasma during nitrosative stress, proving its efficiency for research on this subject.

The stable metabolites rate of nitric oxide is reduced three times compared with the rate in the group of control animals in homogenates of rats’ gingival tissue with gastritis and duodenitis. Increasing of the catalase rate with simultaneous increasing of lipids and proteins oxidation was accompanied by decreasing activity of superoxide dismutase. Decreasing of the malonic dialdehyde content and indices protein molecules fragmentation in the blood plasma with simultaneous increasing of catalase and nitric oxide metabolites levels indicates the leading role of nitric oxide in antioxidant protection of the organism in conditions of disease.

Aims: To find out the origin of so-called nitrite - like substance (NLS) that appears in the blood plasma in patients with inflammatory diseases and the mechanism of its occurrence. To justify the possibility of registering its appearance in the blood as a highly sensitive indicator of leukocyte activation. Background: The need for a simple, sensitive and specific method of early diagnosis of inflammation, the key stage of which is the activation of white blood cells. Objective: To find out the origin of so-called nitrite - like substance (NLS) that appears in the blood plasma in patients with inflammatory diseases before the onset of clinical signs. This substance is able to inhibit catalase in the presence of chloride which is typical for nitrite and nitrosoamines. Methods: The catalase activity was determined by the calorimetric method based on the control of the kinetics of heat production accompanying hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Results: Blood plasma contains deposited nitric oxide included in various nitrosyl iron complexes. These complexes effectively interact with the superoxide produced by activated leukocytes. This interaction produces a number of substances that have the ability to inhibit catalase in the presence of chloride. These substances retain the ability to inhibit in the system: hemoglobin-iron chelator, or hemoglobin-mercury salt. Such properties are characteristic of nitrite and nitrosoamines. Normally, these substances are present in plasma in trace amounts. 700 activated cells per microliter (10 times less than normal in human blood) are enough to transform about 30% nitrosyl iron complexes contained in plasma into NLS. Conclusion: The appearance of NLS is a very sensitive indicator of leukocyte activation.

e17508 Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the main causes of death among patients with gynecological tumors. As a rule, patients die from relapses and metastases which rates reach 30-45%. According to research data, treatment of patients with distant metastases is ineffective, and half of them die within 9.7 months, while the average survival is 15.9±0.26 months. The development of many pathological processes is considered to be associated with an increase in free-radical reactions leading to oxidative damage to various biomolecules. The purpose of the study was to analyze some characteristics of the free-radical oxidation and antioxidant defence in metastasizing CC. Methods: The study included 56 patients aged 29-73 years with stage IIB-IV CC after antitumor treatment. The main group – 27 patients who developed metastases within 4 months to 8 years after the CC diagnosis; controls – 29 patients with non-metastatic CC; donors – 19 healthy women aged 27-61 years. The accumulation of carbonyl derivatives in blood plasma proteins was detected in the reaction with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The induced oxidative modification of proteins was stimulated with Fenton's reagent. Free-radical processes was evaluated by the intensity of peroxide-induced luminol-dependent plasma chemiluminescence and the content of nitric oxide metabolites; the intensity of lipid peroxidation - by the content of malondialdehyde (MDA); the activity of catalase and ceruloplasmin was also studied. Results: CC progression was accompanied by increasing lipid peroxidation and spontaneous oxidation of blood plasma proteins. MDA levels in patients with metastases increased by 57.8% compared to donors and by 34.3% compared to patients without metastases (p < 0.05). The concentration of 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrozones increased on average by 4 times compared to donors and by almost 2 times compared to patients without metastases. Patients with metastasizing CC demonstrated elevated levels of products of the interaction of nitric oxide and its derivatives with proteins and peptides - 3-nitrotyrosine and nitrosoglutathione, compared to both donors (by 31.4% and 55.3%) and patients in remission (by 38.1% and 34.5%). Chemiluminescence activity increased by 54.5% compared to donors (p < 0.05) and by 93% (p < 0.01) compared to controls. Catalase activity in the blood plasma of patients with metastases increased by 54.1% compared to donors, but was lower than the values in the control group (by 22.1%). Ceruloplasmin activity was increased only in patients without metastases (by 33%). Conclusions: The process of CC metastasis is accompanied by a greater intensity of oxidative processes of both proteins and lipids, as well as depletion of the adaptive capabilities of the body's antioxidant system.

AbstractNitric oxide (NO) has a contributory role in hemopoietic cell growth and differentiation. The effects of NO on leukemic cell growth have been predominantly studied inin vitrosettings. This study was done to assess the alterations in nitrite level in myeloid leukemias. Thirty-six newly diagnosed cases of myeloid leukemia (16 AML and 20 CML) were enrolled in the study. Neutrophil precursors from the marrow aspirate and peripheral blood were separated into cell bands using the Percoll density gradient method of Borregard and Cowland. The blood plasma and marrow fluid was also collected. Nitrite (stable non-volatile end product of NO) was estimated in the cell bands, blood plasma and marrow fluid using Griess reagent. The mean nitrite level in all cell bands from peripheral blood, bone marrow, blood plasma, and marrow fluid of cases was significantly lower as compared to corresponding value in the controls. No significant difference between AML and CML was seen. On follow-up, analysis of 13 CML patients higher nitrite levels were seen (p>0.05). The significant decrease in nitrite levels in myeloid leukemia suggests a decrease in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity. Further work may unfold molecular targets for therapeutic role of NO modulators.
