Cows, young cattle and calves of black-and-bark breeds, spontaneously affected by the causative agent Cryptosporidium parvum, were selected for the research. Blood for research was taken from calves in the morning before feeding from the jugular vein. Biochemical parameters of blood serum were determined using a biochemical analyzer of the closed type. Changes in the activity of serum enzymes in the initial stages of the disease are not specific, they indicate a compensatory reaction of liver cells and biliary tract. Effect of Cryptosporidium in calves body accompanied by severe disorders that affect the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and enzymes. These changes lead to structural changes in the organs at the cellular level. Serum infested animals significantly reduced total protein content of 25.5% (P < 0.001), albumin – by 14.6% (P < 0.01), the concentration of glucose in – 21.2% (P < 0.01), carotene content – 12.6% (P < 0.05), the level of calcium and phosphorus – 17.5 and 18% (P < 0.05), respectively, and increased total bilirubin content by 23% (P < 0.001), indicating significant violations of the protein synthesis and detoxification processes in the liver and the tension in the metabolism of their body. Reduced glucose concentration in blood serum is due to the fact that in the body of sick animals there have been increased costs for maintaining the energy needs of its own organism. In conducting studies for 35 days in animals in the experimental group noted an increase in the concentration of circulating immune complexes by 10.5% relative to control. Increasing the concentration of circulating immune complexes in serum of calves, patients with cryptosporidiosis, indicates the presence of specific interaction antigen-antibody and decrease the activity of the humoral link of the immune system. In the determination of immunosuppressive proteins – serum cords in serum of calves, it was found that at 7, 14 days their concentration was within the physiological limits. Increasing the concentration of circulating immune complexes in serum of calves, patients with cryptosporidiosis, indicates the presence of specific interaction antigen-antibody and decrease the activity of the humoral link of the immune system.

The paper contains information about hyperbaric oxygenation impact on humoral and cell components of immune-biological resistance of healthy rats. The following factors are analyzed: potency of oxygen-dependent enzyme systems (myeloperoxidase, oxidase), oxygen-independent systems (leukocyte lysozyme, cationic proteins), killing reactions of peripheral blood neutrophils, their phagocytic and oxidase reserve, complement activity and content of circulating immune complexes in the blood serum of healthy animals, which have been exposed to 60-minute sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation, over time from the 1st to the 30th day post hyperoxia period during experiment. A single session of hyperbaric oxygenation is carried out within 60 minutes (3 absolute atmospheres mode). Mechanisms of adaptation and pathological reactions formation by immune-biological surveillance system of healthy body in early and late post hyperoxia periods during experiment are considered. The paper shows that adaptive responses, which are designed to protect the body against aggressive action of oxygen under the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation, are formed in the bodies of healthy animals. The reactions of oxygen-dependent of phagocytes systems in conditions of hyperoxia manifested in the early stages of the research, persisting to the end of the observation and the reactions of oxygen independent - only at early stages. The humoral responses of healthy organism under hyperbaric oxygen are characterized by the change in complement activity and concentration of circulating immune complexes in blood serum. The received experimental data may be used as a theoretical explanation of indications for use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and different hyperbaric oxygenation regimes.

The article deals with the question of adaptation of the ducks organism during industrial cultivation for action of stress. The complex of successive stage reactions, caused by the functioning of stress-implementing systems, arise in the body of the poultry in response to the influence of destabilizing factors and aimed at neutralizing these factors, preservation of homeostasis. Increasing the influence of technological stress factors leads to a decrease in the immune status of the duck organism. The study of the effectiveness of incorporating into the diet ducks harmless feed additives, which contributes to the normalization of the course of adaptive-compensatory reactions in their body during the critical periods of postnatal ontogenesis and can serve as anti-stress prevention in conditions of industrial growth of this species of poultry remains relevant. The purpose of the work is to find out the implementation of an adaptation syndrome in the system of indices of non-specific resistance of the body of ducks when it is included in the diet of the biologically active feed supplement «Primix Bionorm K» and supplements «Biovir». The experiment was conducted on clinically healthy young ducks of the Pekin breed of egg production line. In the 270-day age, all three groups of ducks were modeled experimental technological stress in the form of prolonged transport. From 240 to 270 days of age, ducks additionally fed the additive «Primix Bionorm K» and was pouring with water an additive «Biovir». The material for research was blood, which was taken until morning feeding after slaughter on 240 days of life (to stress), 270 days of life (stage of anxiety), at 273 and 285 days (stages of resistance). Adaptation of the state of non-specific resistance of the duck of the control group to the control group under conditions of stress in the anxiety stage is characterized by an increase of 17.3% (Р < 0.05) of the value of the bactericidal activity of the blood serum, a decrease of 8.5% of the value of lysozyme activity of the blood serum, by 9.3% of phagocytic activity against the background of growth on 8.7% of the number of circulating immune complexes compared to 240-day-old poultry. At the stage of resistance there is a decrease in the amount of blood serum bactericidal activity by 17.3% (Р < 0.05), an increase in the activity of lysozyme in blood serum by 8.5%, and the number of immune complexes by 20.7% (Р < 0.05), with the stabilization of the studied parameters at the later stages of the development of a stress reaction. In these periods, a decrease in the body weight of control group ducks was set at 5.7 – 6.8%. Feeding of the additive «Primix Bionorm K» during the period of the implementation of the stress syndrome has a positive effect on the indices of the cellular and humoral level of nonspecific resistance in the form of an increase in the amount of bactericidal activity of the serum on 38.2% (P < 0.05), an increase in the activity of phagocytosis by 15.1% (P < 0.05), phagocytic index – by 36.1% (P < 0.05) with a decrease in the number of circulating immune complexes by 15.5%. The presentation of the additive «Biovir» causes an increase in the level of bactericidal and lysozyme activity of the blood serum on 47.3% (P < 0.01) and 18.7% (P < 0.05). The use of additives can reduce the negative effect of transport stress in the duck body, increase nutrient uptake, as indicated by an increase in the body weight of experimental birds in the average by 7.1–10.5% (P < 0.05) during the development of the adaptive syndrome.

Introduction Malignant tumors of the head and neck represent 5% of all malignancies, of which the most common are tumors of the larynx and oral cavity. In the blood serum of patients with malignant tumors increased levels of immunoglobulins and circulating immune complexes have been detected, with a diverse relevance to the clinical course and prognosis of the disease. Aim Due to contradictory findings of the correlation between the humoral immune response and the clinical course of the disease, we examined 42 male patients with laryngeal carcinoma. All patients underwent surgery, of which 15 patients were treated postoperatively with radiotherapy. The changes in the levels of immunoglobulins and circulating immune complexes in the blood serum were recorded and evaluated. Results Analysis of the results showed an immunological disorder of an abnormal level of circulating immune complexes in the blood serum that normalized after the surgical removal of the tumor. The levels of immunoglobulins G and A were abnormal during the whole postoperative period of examination. Conclusion The normalizing of the levels of circulating immune complexes in the blood serum, after surgical removal of the tumor, shows a strong association between the two, and this could consequently mean that it could be used as a prognostic tool, particularly in correlation with other immunological parameters.

The influence of the chronopharmacological scheme of treatment with the use of exogenous Melatonin in the form of the Melaksen drug on the immunity status of psoriasis patients has been studied. The study of the immunity status consisted in determination of the main Manchini classes of immunoglobulins A, M, G, the level of circulating immune complexes by the method of selective precipitation in 3% polyethylene glycol. In addition, we determined the subpopulation of lymphocytes carrying CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD 25, and CD72 antigens by the immunofluorescent method. In has been found that Melatonin in psoriasis patients exerts the immunomodulatory action on the immune system at the combined treatment (due to an increase in the number of -lymphocytes with cytotoxic-suppressive properties at obvious signs of immune disbalance in the form of the increased ratio of Т CD4+ and CD8+).

We observed the processes of lipid peroxidation, characterized by increased content of intermediate and its end products (diene conjugates, lipid hydroperoxides, malonic dialdehyde), in the blood of the pregnant mares. The changes of the data of indicators in the organism of the mares at the 9–11 months of pregnancy were established. The level of diene conjugates in the blood of animals was 3.6 ± 0.12 μmol/l, 33.3 and 44.0%, which was higher compared to non-pregnant mares and mares at 4th month of pregnancy. The concentration of lipid hydroperoxides in the blood of mares increased by 100% and by 42.9% in the blood of non-pregnant mares and mares at 4th month of pregnancy. The concentration of malondialdehyde in the blood of mares increased by 75.0%, 51.2% and 25.0% compared to non-pregnant mares and mares at 4th and 7th month of pregnancy, respectively. The results of our research showed that the mineral-vitamin premix Marmix had a positive influence on the state of lipid peroxidation products, contributed to their lowering in the blood of pregnant mares, which demonstrated antioxidant action and stimulated the function of the immune system. It was established that the bactericidal and lysozyme activity of the blood serum and the concentration of circulating immune complexes increases in the mares with lack of trace elements. It was shown that feeding mares during the 9–11 months of pregnancy with the mineral-vitamin premix Marmix had a positive influence on the state of humoral factors of nonspecific resistance. In particular, the concentration of bactericidal activity of serum increased by 31.0%, lysozyme activity of blood serum – 45.4% and contributed to the decrease of the concentration of circulating immune complexes in serum by 3.8 times. The use of mineral-vitamin premix Marmix during 60 days in feeding pregnant mares caused a restoration of the clinical status, a decrease in the content of lipid peroxidation products.

Contagious ecthyma or contagious pustular dermatitis is a debilitating condition located on the skin of sheep and goats, with a zoonotic character. Contagious ecthyma is a disease with economic and animal welfare implications, rarely being fatal if the host organism suffers from immunosuppression or if secondary infections occur. Similar to other members of the Poxviridae family, immunity to contagious ecthyma is mediated by both innate and adaptive immune responses. Following the invasion of the contagious ecthyma virus, immunoglobulins are mobilized that specifically bind to the contagious ecthyma virus to form immune complexes, which are then eliminated by defense system to protect tissues from damage. The level of circulating immune complexes and immunoglobulins can be quantified and can be an indicator of the stage of infection. In the present study we aimed to investigate whether there is a link between the individual characteristics (sex, age, severity of clinical signs) of sheep with orf symptoms and the evolution of circulating immune complexes and total immunoglobulins. In addition to these investigations, we aimed to follow the evolution of these immunological parameters compared to the evolution in clinically healthy animals. Investigations of the serum revealed that levels of these two parameters (total Ig and CIC), can be influenced by the individual characteristics of sheep affected by the contagious ectima and shows differences compared to clinically healthy animals.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of supplement «Press-Acid» on some parameters of mineral and protein metabolism and resistance of piglets. The study was done in condition «Meta» on two groups of piglets of the F-1 (BWхL) genotype. There were determined indexes of bacterial and lysocim activity of blood serum, calcium and phosphorus in piglets at the age of 21–30–45–75 days. Effect of supplement on the growth rate, morbidity and safety of pigs were revealed. We used hygienic, zootechnical, hematological, biochemical, immunological and statistical methods of analysis. The influence of «Press-Acid», which consist of formic, lactic, citric and fumaric acids, was established for the first time. The concentration of calcium in blood serum of experimental group of piglets were lower than in animals of control group. The level of phosphorus increased in blood serum of experimental animals on 11.83% (30 day), on 3.74% (45%), on 17.65% (75 day) respectively. Concentration of hemoglobin and the amount of erythrocytes increased on 11.8% and on 1.82% (30 day) in animals that feed the supplement. There were established the increase of viability of the pigs with gastro-intestinal diseases which were given the supplement in comparison with that, who did not feed it. Severity of diseases was determined using the Melenberg coefficient which did not higher than 1.2–2.4 score, it was lower on 6,0–9,3 unit than in control group. Using the supplement allowed to increase the intensity of growth of piglets by 3.7% (45 day) and 9.4% (75 day) respectively. Concentration of total protein, albumines and globulins increased on 8.66%, 9.90%, 7.3% respectively. The activity of alaninaminotransphaerasae in the blood serum of experimental animals were lower on 3.45% than in control piglets. Lysocym and bacterial activity of blood serum were higher in experimental group of piglets. Feeding piglets with addition supplement Press Acid promotes higher grow rates in experimental animals, that can be explained increases of oxidative-reducing processes in them organism. Feeding piglets with acidifier «Press-Acid», «Nifulin», zinc oxide, probiotics «Lactisan Complex» promotes growth energy, increase of morphological, biochemical and immunological parameters which indicates a higher level of oxidative reaction in the body. A low coefficient of Melenberg is recorded in the piglets at the age of 1 day. Safety was within 92.1–97.0%. That indicates a more successful elimination of complexes of protein, mineral substances, humoral protection in blood of experimental group of animals.

The study is devoted to the clinical examination of frequently ill children in the North-Eastern regions of Russia and the laboratory detection of markers of herpesvirus infections, as well as pneumocystosis and the establishment of the relationship with their immune status.62 children aged 8—15 years were examined. Samples of serum and blood cells, sputum on markers of herpesvirus infections and pneumocystosis by ELISA, indirect immunofluorescence reaction and rapid culture method were studied. Assessment of humoral immunity and determination of circulating immune complexes was performed by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay and immune turbodimetric analysis.The study shows the etiological role of herpesviruses. Active infection (acute, reactivation) was caused in 9.7% of cases of HSV-1,2, 12.9% — EBV, 6.5% — CMV, 19.4% — HHV-6. This is indicated by a large number of convalescents: with EBVI — 40.3%, HSVI — 27.4%, HHVI-6 — 8.1%, CMVI — 4.8%. Also, a significant number of children were found and latent form. The formation of the circulating immune complexes (CIC) is a physiological mechanism of protection of the body, and their excessive accumulation indicates the development of inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. In the increase in CIC observed mainly in individuals with latent infection: HSVI — 29.4%; HHVI-6 — 20.8%; CMVI — 16.7%, EBVI — 11.9%. It is important to note that in almost half of the cases the increase in CIC level occurred simultaneously with the increase in the concentration of total IgE. A survey of children on Pneumocystis showed that among them, dominated native — 11.3%, in which the sputum was identified pnevmotsisty. It should be noted that one child was found mixed infection with reactivated CMVI. Acute infection was diagnosed only in 6.4% of the patients.
