SUMMARYThis study aimed to develop and test the in vitro and in vivo effectiveness of diminazene aceturate encapsulated into liposomes (L-DMZ) on Trypanosoma evansi. To validate the in vitro tests with L-DMZ, the efficacy of a commercial formulation of diminazene aceturate (C-DMZ) was also assessed. The tests were carried out in culture medium for T. evansi, at concentrations of 0·25, 0·5, 1, 2 and 3 μg mL−1 of L-DMZ and C-DMZ. A dose-dependent effect was observed for both formulations (L-DMZ and C-DMZ), with the highest dose-dependent mortality of trypomastigotes being observed at 1 and 3 h after the onset of tests with L-DMZ. The results of in vivo tests showed the same effects in the animals treated with L-DMZ and C-DMZ in single doses of 3·5 mg kg−1 and for 5 consecutive days (3·5 mg kg−1 day−1). It was possible to conclude that T. evansi showed greater in vitro susceptibility to L-DMZ when compared with C-DMZ. In vivo tests suggest that treatment with the L-DMZ and C-DMZ showed similar efficacy in vivo. The potential of the formulation developed in this study was clearly demonstrated, as it increased the efficacy of the treatment against trypanosomosis, but more studies are needed to increase the effectiveness in vivo.

Цель исследования - оценка влияния на ангиогенез конструкций из волокнистого поликапролактона, модифицированного плазмидой с геном сосудистого фактора роста, при имплантации крысам. Методика. Эксперименты выполнены на 24 крысах-самках Вистар в возрасте 2 мес, массой 180-200 г. В работе исследовали плоские каркасы размером 1 см х 1 см, полученные методом эмульсионного электроспиннинга из раствора поликапролактона. Материал каркасов витализировали плазмидой VEGF-165 (геннотерапевтический препарат Неоваскулген), введенной внутрь двух типов волокнистых материалов в разных концентрациях: низкой - 0,005 мг/мл, и высокой - 0,05 мг/мл. Образец и контроль (материал без витализации) одномоментно имплантировали подкожно в два сформированных симметричных кармана в межлопаточной зоне. Окружающие каркас ткани на 7-е, 16-е, 33-и, 46-е и 64-е сутки извлекали, проводили гистологическое исследование: изучали тканевую реакцию с морфометрической оценкой плотности распределения и диаметра сосудов в области имплантации, а также оценивали степень биодеградации волокнистого материала. Результаты. Признаков тканевой реакции отторжения при имплантации как контрольного, так и модифицированного материала не выявлено. Показано, что при экспозиции материала in vivo наряду с резорбцией материала происходят изменения количества и диаметра сосудов. Выявлен дозозависимый эффект стимуляции ангиогенеза при увеличении концентрации Неоваскулгена в образцах. Для витализированных материалов отмечено увеличение плотности распределения сосудов на 46% (высокая концентрация, 33-и сут) по сравнению с контролем. После прекращения воздействия препарата, плотность распределения сосудов приближалась к значениям в контроле. Заключение. Разработанная методика витализации полимерных каркасов с внесением раствора геннотерапевтического препарата Неоваскулген внутрь микроволокон обеспечивает пролонгированный и дозозависимый эффект на рост сосудов в зоне имплантации. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect on angiogenesis of a biocompatible, biodegradable material-derived scaffold implanted into rats and functionalized using a plasmid with a vascular growth factor gene. Methods. Experiments were performed on 24 female Wistar rats aged 2 months weighing 180-200 g. We investigated 1 cm x 1 cm flat scaffolds obtained by electrospinning from polycaprolactone functionalized scaffolds with a VEGF-165 plasmid (gene therapy drug, Neovasculgen) incorporated inside the fibers at two concentrations, low (0.005 mg/ml) and high (0.05 mg/ml). The sample and control were simultaneously implanted subcutaneously into two formed symmetrical pockets in the interblade zone. At 7, 16, 33, 46, and 64 days, the scaffolds were removed, and histological examination was performed; the tissue reaction was studied including morphometric evaluation of density and diameter of blood vessels in the implantation area, and the area of the image occupied by the material was measured. Results. Tissue rejection was absent after implantation of either control or modified material. When the material was exposed in vivo , besides resorption of the material, blood vessel number and diameter changed. As the Neovasculgen concentration in samples increased, a dose-dependent effect of angiogenesis stimulation became evident. Vascular density was increased by 46% (high concentration, 33 days) in functionalized matrices compared to the control. After cessation of the drug treatment, the vascular density approached the control values. Conclusion. The developed technique for functionalizing polymeric scaffolds by administration of a solution of the gene therapy drug, Neovasculgen, into microfibers provides a prolonged and dose-dependent effect on growth of blood vessels in the implantation zone.

The effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the levels of total serum leucocytes, granulocytes including neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils, as well as on monocytes and leucocytes were measured in pigs selected from a clean (minimal disease) herd. Thirty pigs were fed different rates of dietary CLA (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 g CLA-55/kg diet) for 8 weeks. Blood samples were collected at the end of the study for assessment of haematological and humoral responses to CLA supplementation. No difference in total white blood cells including the neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts was observed among different dietary groups. A dose-dependent reduction (P = 0.02) in eosinophil concentrations suggests that CLA exerts anti-inflammatory activities. A 2-fold increase in the level of basophils was recorded in pigs fed lower levels of CLA (1.25 and 2.5 g CLA/kg diet) but the levels decreased gradually (P = 0.05) and were below the detection limit at the highest rate (10 g/kg) of CLA supplementation. The level of IgG was reduced by over 50% in CLA-fed pigs (P < 0.001), although the response was quadratic in nature (P < 0.001). T-cell population analysis showed that CD4+ cells tended (P = 0.06) to be reduced linearly with increasing inclusion of CLA in the diet. Our results suggest that dietary CLA modulates haematological and humoral responses in a dose-dependent manner.
