Introduction. The structure of the small intestine in humans and white rats are quite similar. The study of its specific features in white rats is important to supplement and update modern morphological science with data on the course and modelling of certain pathological conditions. Purpose. A detailed study of the anatomical features of the small intestine in white rats is a prerequisite for planning and conducting certain experimental studies. Material and methods. The study was performed on 80 white male rats. The material for the study included removed stomachs with the distal segment of oesophagus, the small and large intestine. Following the removal the organs were fixed with 10% neutral formalin, outer and inner (mucosal) surfaces then were photographed. In other cases, the gastrointestinal tract of animals was filled through the oesophagus with air, physiological saline, and autopolymer plastic (Latacryl-S), and then exposed to acid corrosion, obtaining three-dimensional casts of internal cavities of the stomach, small and large intestine. Results. Having studying the anatomical features of the small intestine of white rats we can distinguish two parts: the initial extra mesenteric part, which can be called the duodenum only by analogy with a similar human section, and its other mesenteric part, in the looped segment of which the border between which the ileal and jejunum division was not found. This segment seems to be designed mainly for the transitive movement of food into the cecum, where their final processing and the formation of faecal masses occur. On the outer surface of the mesenteric small intestine, there are clearly visible groups of lymphoid nodules, known as Peyer's patches.

Experimental Substantiation

Based on the analysis of morphological and morphometric data, the clinical and experimental results of the effect of hypoxia on the wall of the small and large intestine in newborns are presented. The clinical part is based on the study of 58 case histories of patients with necrotizing enterocolitis, which the operating material (resected sections of the small intestine, large intestine) was studied in detail. The experimental work included the modeling of chronic hypobaric hypoxia in different trimesters of pregnancy in 4 groups of white rats (24 females). The offspring was taken out of the experiment at 4-5 days after birth, followed by collection of the small and large intestine areas to study histoarchitectonics. It is proved that hypoxia affects the number of newborn offspring, its weight. The small intestine is most vulnerable to the effect of this factor. Analysis of the morphological and morphometric picture of the operating and experimental material convincingly proves that under the influence of hypoxia the destruction of the intestinal mucosa occurs and the growth of the connective tissue component in the muscle layer occurs. Changes from the microcirculation of blood and lymph provoke the development of pre-ulcerative, ulcerative defects and the formation of necrosis. Disturbance of the drainage function promotes the spread of destruction in the intestinal wall.

Background. Over-the-counter use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs leads to their uncontrolled consumption among the population, which in some cases makes it impossible to prevent and timely detect adverse drug effects, and their effectiveness does not always satisfy clinicians. The purpose was to characterize the cytoprotective properties of cryopreserved placenta extract according to the condition of the mucous membrane of the proximal (esophagus and stomach) and distal (small and large intestine) parts of the gastrointestinal tract on the model of ibuprofen-induced esophagogastroenterocolonopathy. Mate­rials and methods. In vivo experimental studies were performed on 28 male rats. Subchronic ibuprofen-induced gastrointestinal lesions were reproduced by intragastric administration of ibuprofen to rats at a dose of 310 mg/kg. The condition of the gastrointestinal tract mucous membrane was assessed macroscopically on a scale. Results. The therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of esomeprazole statistically significantly (р < 0.05) took place in the proximal parts of the gastrointestinal tract but had little effect on the prevalence of ulcerative lesions in the intestine. At the same time, unlike esomeprazole, which is known to have only gastroprotective activity, cryopreserved placenta extract had a cytoprotective effect both in the stomach and in the distal parts of the gastrointestinal tract — small and large intestine. Thus, the prevalence of ibuprofen-induced both entero- and colonopathy on the background of the study of the extract was almost twice lower than in rats that did not receive correction drugs. Conclusions. It is established that the use of cryopreserved placenta extract in the treatment-and-prophylactic mode has comparable to esomeprazole gastroprotective activity. In addition, it was found that the use of the studied cryoextract was accompanied by a decrease in the multiplicity of ulcerative defects in the small and large intestine of rats, by 4.6 and 3.8 times, respectively, compared to the control animals.

The aim of this study was to examine the morphometric parameters of the thickness of the epithelial plate of the gingival mucosa, the height of the connective tissue papillae and the diameter of the lumen of hemomicrovascular white rats in the dynamics after eight, ten and twelve weeks of chronic opioid exposure. Experimental studies were performed on white male rats of reproductive age. For twelve weeks, rats were injected intramuscularly with the opioid analgesic nalbuphine at increasing average therapeutic doses of 0.212 to 0.3 mg/kg body weight. Fragments of rat jaws were used for histological and morphometric studies. Based on the analysis of the obtained morphometric parameters of the studied components of the gums, it was found that in the late stages of chronic opioid exposure there was a significant decrease in epithelial thickness and connective tissue papillae and a significant increase in the lumen diameter of hemomicrocirculatory progression of inflammatory-dystrophic changes in periodontal tissues.

Introduction. Experimental studies in animals have shown ultrastructural changes in hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, tissue hypoxia of the kidneys, changes in the activity of oxidative processes and antioxidant enzymes, the formation of bioenergetic hypoxia, cell response in the form of infiltration of both lymphoid and macrophage cells to develop due to exposure to vibration. However, there is almost no data about the status of animals’ organs in the post-contact period. Material and methods. The study was carried out in white male rats weighing 220-240 g, were exposed to 40 Hz vibration for 60 days 5 times a week for 4 hours a day. Histological and morphometric analysis was used to assess the sensorimotor cortex tissue and hepatorenal system. Results. A decrease in the total number of brain neurons, astraglial cells in rats in 30, 60 and 120 days of the post-exposure period was found. There was hyperemia in the portal and Central veins, an increase in the number of Kupffer cells in the liver tissue at the 30th, 60th, 120th day after the exposure. Decrease in the area of the Shumlyansky-Bowman capsule was recorded in the experimental rats’ kidney tissue 30 days after the end of vibration exposure; though there were no differences in the number of renal bodies in the tissue of white rats of the experimental and control groups at 60th and 120th day after the end of exposure to vibration. Conclusion. Morphological changes in the tissues of white rats exposed to prolonged vibration presented in the form of a decrease in the total number of neurons and astroglia cells in the brain tissue, a pronounced macrophage response in the liver tissue have been preserved in the post-contact period following the exposure to vibration.

Objective: to study the indicators of tissue respiration and oxidative phosphorylation of the rings of the mucous membrane of the duodenum intact in white rats. Material and methods. We used white male rats with body mass of 180-230 g. The parameters of tissue respiration and oxidative phosphorylation were studied by the polarographic method on the device «Record 4». Results. The work gives the characteristic of the key parametres of tissue respiration and oxidative phosphorylation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine of intact white rats. It shows high respiratory activity both on endogenous, and exogenous substrates, which is caused by the fact that the small intestine perform a great number of energy-dependent metabolic functions. Conclusion. Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids make a great contribution to the energy properties of the small intestine. The intensity of tissue respiration and oxidative phosphorylation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine is consistent with other aerobic tissues.

The largest concentration of the local immune system in the form of the nodular associations of the lymphoid tissue with the epithelium of the mucous membranes (tonsils, single lymphoid nodules and their aggregations, named Peyer’s patches) is located in the gut. The paper is aimed at the study of the quantitative and planimetric correlations between the Peyer’s patches and the area of the small intestine of white rats based on the visual assessment and comparative analysis of some metric values. The study was conducted on 60 white male rats, which were assigned into 2 groups of 30 animals: after the morning feeding (controls) and after a daily fasting. After the removal made in advance, the gut-associated complexes have been studied from the stomach to the cecum. The resulting experimental data have been processed on a personal computer using the EXCEL 2010 (Microsoft Excel Corp., USA) software. No significant difference in the diameter and length of the small intestine of white rats of the first and second groups was found. The total area of the small intestine wall in the control group ranged from 8666 mm2 to 20724 mm2, and from 8496 mm2 to 20573 mm2 in group II (after a daily fasting), ranking equally. Thickness parameters of the small intestine in two groups of animals were almost similar in its unchanged, within the limits of individual variability, longitudinal length. To conduct an accurate quantitative and planimetric analysis of the aggregated lymphoid nodules of the white rat’s small intestine, it was advisable to distinguish 3 groups, namely: small-, medium- and large-sized. Thus, their total number varies from 12 to 28 units. Among them 8 to 17 units (on the average of 12.60±0.400) were small-sized, 2 to 11 (5.800±0.500) were medium-sized, and the large ones were not always found. For example, in the studied samples, they were absent in 6 animals, whereas 1 to 5 units were presented in the rest of animals. The area of single small Peyer’s patches ranged from 1.570 to 9.800 mm2, and their total area was 64.90±2.900 mm2; the area of medium samples individually ranges from 10.60 to 27.50 mm2. Totally, they occupy an average area of 97.60±8.00 mm2. The same value of individual large aggregated nodules is between 31.40 and 60.40 mm2, which totally accounted on the average of 58.40±10.30 mm2. Thus, the average statistical value of the total areas of Peyer’s patches is 220.9±14.40 mm2, accounting for only 2% of the total area of the small intestine wall of white rats, not including single lymphoid nodules, not exceeding 1 mm.

The aim of the paper is to study thymus variability in white rats, which were exposed to formaldehyde, and to compare these data with the indicators in control animals. Materials and Methods. The trial enrolled 72 white male rats, initial body weight 40–50 g. The animals were divided into 2 groups (36 rats in each). The first group consisted of control rats. Animals of the second group were exposed to formaldehyde inhalation, 2.766 mg/m3. To characterize the variability of the organ size, centroids were determined. The superposition of landmark configurations was performed using the generalized Procrustes analysis method, MorphoJ 1.06d program. The principal component analysis and canonical analysis of the obtained data were carried out. Results. One-Way ANOVA revealed a high level of intergroup differences in Procrust distance (F=1.34; p<0.0001). The significant effect of the duration of formaldehyde exposure on centroid size was established. The Kruskal-Wallis criterion was 19.778 (p=0.0014). The analysis of the principal components indicated that each of the first 10 components stands for more than 1 % of Procrustes coordinate variance. In this case, the first 7 components compatibly explain 91.398 % of thymus variability. The proportion of the first main component to the total variance of the Procrustes coordinates is 40.236 %. PC1 (-) shows changes in the thymus shape, mostly affecting the tops of its lobes, the middle part of the right boundary and the entire left thymus boundary. The scattering ellipses of the thymus ordinates in rats exposed to formaldehyde, in the first two canonical variables are located higher than those in the control animals. Conclusion. Formaldehyde inhalation leads to thymus changes in white rat. The most significant differences with control data are determined along the second canonical variable.

The rational organization and implementation of effective disinfection activities plays an important role in the complex of measures for the prevention of infections. The development and introduction of new disinfectants into production is an urgent issue of modern poultry farming. When developing a disinfectant, it is important to determine the cumulative effect of the drug. The purpose of the study was to determine the cumulative and skin-resorptive action of the disinfectant “Zoоdizin”. For the toxicological study of the drug used healthy white male rats and white female rats weighing 200 ± 10 g 1.5 years of age. To study the toxicity of the drug “Zoоdizin” when applied to the skin used the method of immersion of the tails of rats in a test tube with the test substance. The tail was injected 2/3 into a regular tube with a 5 % solution of the drug “Zoоdizin”. The tube was closed with a cork ring whose diameter was slightly larger than the tail diameter. For 15 days, the tubes were placed daily in a water bath at 28–30 °C for 2 hours. Control animals tails were immersed in distilled water. To establish the local action of the drug “Zoodizin” on the mucous membranes of the study drug was introduced into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of the rabbit at a dose of 50 mg, and in the left eye was buried saline in a volume of 0,05 cm3. When studying the cumulative effect of Zoоdizin, no significant changes in the biochemical parameters in the serum of rats were observed. In the study of possible irritant or damaging effect on the skin and the development of contact non-allergic dermatitis found that a single application of disinfectant “Zoоdizin” on the unaffected skin of the back of white rats in the maximum significant recommended concentration of working solutions (2 %) did not cause signs. The single effect of the drug on the intact areas of the skin did not cause skin irritation, but it can be stated that prolonged daily epicutaneous exposure of high concentration (5 %) of the solution of the drug “Zoоdizin”, which is 2.5 times higher than the maximum recommended concentration, caused a general resorption. When assessing the cumulative properties, it was taken into account that the total dose administered to rats was Zodizin 42000 mg/kg body weight and did not result in animal death. It did not allow to calculate the cumulative coefficients for the “lethal effect”. A single effect of the product on the intact areas of the skin did not cause skin irritation, but it can be stated that prolonged daily epicutaneous exposure of a high concentration (5 %) of the Zodizin solution, which is 2.5 times the maximum recommended concentration, caused a general resorption. In the future, it is planned to study the virulidal properties of the biocide “Zoоdizin”.

Цель - исследовать интенсивность экспрессии белка альфа-синуклеина клетками Панета у крыс в норме и условиях длительного бактериофагального инфицирования микробиоты. Материал и методы. Экспериментальные исследования проведены на 12 половозрелых крысах-самцах линии Вистар массой 280-320 г. Крысам основной группы (n=7) еженедельно на протяжении 12 нед ректально вводили 0,5 мл раствора, содержащего смесь бактериофагов против 14 патогенов человека (Microgen, Россия). Однократная доза вводимой бактериофагальной смеси содержала 0,5×10ед./мл каждого фага. Животные контрольной группы (n=5) получали по аналогичной схеме 0,5 мл стерильного изотонического раствора натрия хлорида. После интракардиальной перфузии отбирали фрагменты проксимального отдела подвздошной кишки на уровне 1-3 см выше илеоцекального соединения. Серийные криостатные срезы кишечника использовали для окрашивания гематоксилином - эозином и выявления иммунопозитивного альфа-синуклеина при помощи моноклональных мышиных антител (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) и коммерческого набора, содержащего авидин-биотин-пероксидазный комплекс (АBC Elite; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Результаты. Длительное бактериофагальное инфицирование приводило к значимому снижению относительно контроля количества клеток, иммунопозитивных к альфа-синуклеину. В клетках Панета значимо снижались площади, занимаемые иммунореактивным продуктом к альфа-синуклеину и ацидофильными гранулами. Выводы. В апикальных частях клеток Панета, в области локализации ацидофильных гранул детектируется иммунопозитивный альфа-синуклеин. Дисбиоз кишечника, вызываемый бактериофагальным инфицированием микробиоты, приводит к гранулярному истощению клеток Панета и снижению экспрессии в них иммунореактивного альфа-синуклеина, что свидетельствует о его вовлеченности в механизмы экскреции. Objective - to investigate the intensity of the alpha - synuclein expression by Paneth cells of rat in normal conditions and prolonged bacteriophagal infection of gut microbiota. Material and methods. Experimental studies were performed on 12 adult Wistar male rats weighting 280-320 g. The rats of the main group (n=7) received rectally a 0,5 ml of solution containing a mixture of bacteriophages directed against 14 human pathogens (Microgen, Russia). The solution was introduced weekly for a period of 12 weeks. Each dose of bacteriophagal mixture contained 0,5×10 units/ml of each phage. Animals of the control group (n=5) received 0,5 ml of sterile physiological saline according to the same scheme. After transcardial perfusion, specimens of proximal portion of ileum 1-2 cm upstream the ileocecal junction were obtained. Serial cryostat sections were used for hematoxylin and eosin staining and for detection of immunopositive alpha-synuclein by monoclonal mouse antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and commercially available kit containing avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (АBC Elite; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Results. Prolonged bacteriophage infection led to a significant decrease in the number of alpha-synuclein immunopositive cells compared with control. The area of Paneth cells occupied by the alpha synuclein-immunoreactive product and acidophilic granules significantly reduced. Conclusions. Immunopositive alpha-synuclein was detected in the apical parts of Paneth cells, in the area of acidophilic granules localization. The intestinal dysbiosis caused by bacteriophage infection of microbiota led to granular depletion of Paneth cells and a decrease in the expression of immunoreactive alphasynuclein in them, which indicates its involvement in excretion mechanisms.

The morphological condition of the bile ducts remains one of the most important problems of modern medical science. In order to obtain an analgesic effect in patients with acute cholangitis, opioids are often used. However, information on the effectiveness of opioids in the treatment of pathological conditions of the bile ducts is contradictory. The rapidly progressive destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts associated with the use of narcotic agents has been described. Further study of the effect of opioids on the structural organization of the common bile duct is relevant. In order to establish the morphological state of the common bile duct under conditions of long-term opioid exposure, a study was performed on 24 sexually mature white male rats, aged 3.5-5.0 months and weighing 180-200 g, which were injected intramuscularly with Nalbuphine for 6 weeks. The study material is represented by histological specimens of the common bile duct of white rats. The “Aver Media” computer system was used to photograph microspecimens. The “ImageJ” computer program was used to measure the diameter of the lumen and the wall thickness of the common bile duct. After 2 weeks of Nalbuphine administration to white rats, plethora of wall microvessels and a significant increase in the longitudinal diameter of the lumen of the common bile duct were observed. After 4 weeks of the experiment, the common bile duct was dilated, the transverse and longitudinal diameters of its lumen almost doubled, pathological changes in its wall had all the signs of inflammation. In the later stages of the experiment (introduction of Nalbuphine for 6 weeks), the pathological changes increased and manifested by destructuring the wall of the common bile duct, disorganization of cholangiocytes, thinning of the cell layer due to detachment of cholangiocytes, polymorphism of their nuclei, destruction of intercellular junctions, stratification of its own plate, vacuolar dystrophy of the muscular membrane “varicose” expansion of venules, significant smooth muscle hyperplasia of arterioles, the presence of perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates in the duct wall.
