The plasma samples of 34 primary donors (22 men and 12 women) for the first time given the plasma by automated plasmapheresis (control surveillance), and 54 active donors of blood plasma (40 men and 14 women) being donors with non-less 14 days interval between donations, have been examined. The active male donors’ plasma averaged at 18,63±1,71 with individual index fluctuations from 2 to 78, female donors’ – 14,09±1,95 with individual index fluctuations from 2 to 45. The method of plasma obtaining is a manual plasmapheresis method. The surveyed groups were homogeneous for age and sex. Hematologic and biochemical parameters of all those persons have been examined and, basing on the conclusion of the professionals, everyone was admitted to the plasma donation. The content of middle mass molecules in plasma were determined by method of N.I. Gabrieljan, V.I. Lipatovoj (1984). The content of biogenic amines free fractions in plasma were determined by fluorometric method of B.V. Mikhailichenko, S.V. Vydyborets (1999). Analysis of the results showed that in the donor plasma samples obtained by manual plasmapheresis level of middle mass molecules, histamine, serotonin is significantly higher. The significance of obtained results has also been discussed.

The objective: the study of the content of molecules of average weight (MSM) in blood plasma obtained from donors of different methods to select the priority method. Patients and methods.The plasma samples of 34 primary donors (22 men and 12 women) for the first time given the plasma by automated plasmapheresis (control surveillance), and 152 active donors of blood plasma (110 men and 42 women) being donors with non-less 14 days interval between donations, have been examined. The active male donors’ plasma averaged at 18.63±1.71 with individual index fluctuations from 2 to 78, female donors’ – 14.09±1.95 with individual index fluctuations from 2 to 45. According to the method of plasma obtaining, the active plasma donors were divided into two groups: manual plasmapheresis method – I (first) observation group – 40 men and 14 women: method of automatic plasmapheresis – II (second) group of observations – 70 men and 28 women. The surveyed groups were homogeneous for age and sex. Results. Hematologic and biochemical parameters of all those persons have been examined and, basing on the conclusion of the professionals, everyone was admitted to the plasma donation. The content of middle mass molecules in plasma were determined by metod of Gabrieljan N. I., Lipatovoj V. I. (1984). Analysis of the results showed that in the donor plasma samples obtained by manual plasmapheresis level of middle mass molecules is significantly higher. The significance of obtained results has also been discussed. Conclusions. When manual plasmapheresis in the obtained samples of blood plasma revealed significantly higher content of molecules of average weight (MSM) compared to samples from donors who underwent automated plasmapheresis. A method of automatic plasmapheresis is pain gentle, compared with the method of manual plasmapheresis, allows to obtain the plasma with the contents of the MSM are not different from the original.

Abstract Background & aims: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are considered markers of insulin resistance (IR) in subjects with obesity. In this study, we evaluated whether the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the branched-chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) gene can modify the effect of a dietary intervention (DI) on the plasma concentration of BCAAs in subjects with obesity and IR. Methods: A prospective cohort study of adult subjects with obesity, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, IR (HOMA-IR ≥ 2.5) no diagnosed chronic disease, underwent a DI with an energy restriction of 750 kcal/d and nutritional education for one month. Anthropometric measurements, body composition, blood pressure, resting energy expenditure (REE), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results, serum biochemical parameters and the plasma amino acid profile were evaluated before and after the DI. SNPs were assessed by the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. Results: A total of 82 subjects were included, 15 subjects with a BCAT2 SNP had a greater reduction in leucine, isoleucine, valine, and the sum of BCAAs. Those subjects also had a greater reduction in skeletal muscle mass, fat free mass, total body water, blood pressure, muscle strength and biochemical parameters after one month of the DI and adjusting for age and sex. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the presence of the BCAT2 SNP promotes a greater reduction in plasma BCAA concentration after adjusting for age and sex, in subjects with obesity and IR after a one-month energy-restricted DI.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess some biochemical parameters in the vitreous humor of Rabbits exposed to sodium cyanide. Study Design: This study is an interventional study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at Animal House, Applied and Environmental Biology Department, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, between April 2020 and November 2020. Methodology: A total of twelve (12) rabbits as indicated by Mead’s formula constituted the sample size. The study was divided into three groups including the control. 1 mg/kg sodium cyanide was administered to the rabbits orally in group one and vitreous humor was collected using standard procedure after thirty minutes. In group two the rabbits were put to death mechanically and 1 mg/kg sodium cyanide was administered to the rabbits after thirty minutes, vitreous humor was collected after thirty minutes using standard procedure. The rabbits in group three, control group, were put to death mechanically and nothing was given to the rabbits, then after thirty minutes vitreous humor was collected using standard procedure. Biochemical parameters investigated included vitreous glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, total proteins (TP), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical differences between groups were computed using Graph pad prism 7.0 version developed by Graph pad software, San Siago, Califonia, USA. Results were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significance between groups was taken at p<.05. Results: Vitreous biochemical results showed significant (p<.05) increase in levels of TC, LDL-C, AST, ALT, TB and CB in rabbits given 1 mg/kg sodium cyanide compared to control. Significant (p<.05) decrease in levels of glucose, TP and ALB were also observed. This study also revealed that there was no significant (p<.05) difference in biochemical results of rabbits given 1 mg/kg sodium cyanide thirty minutes after they were put to death mechanically compared to the control. It can be concluded that a lethal dose of sodium cyanide (1 mg/kg) may lead to alterations in vitreous biochemical parameters and this may enhance death differentiation due to sodium cyanide poisoning and other causes of death for example mechanical death.    Conclusion: The findings of this study support a central role for vitreous humor biochemistry in many postmortem forensic and pathological evaluations and it could also be used for death differentiation in sodium cyanide poisoning.

Blood samples ( n = 135) were collected from 36 male and 35 female 20±4-week-old Yucatan micro pigs and were analysed for 19 haematological and 18 plasma biochemical parameters at weeks 20, 24, 33, 46, 59, 71 and 80. For each parameter, the total number of analyses per sex, mean values, standard deviation, lowest and highest values, and 95% confidence intervals are presented as reference values for this breed. Age- and sex-related differences in these parameters are also discussed.

Biochemical and haematological data for two consecutive years are presented on about 2000 people from the workforce of a large chemical company. The data are examined for the influence of sex, age, season, time of blood sampling, and patterns of work on the various indices. In addition to the results confirming previously published work relating to the effects of age and sex, they provide interesting new information on the possible influences of seasons and patterns of work, that is, whether the subjects were shift or day workers. Further studies on the influence of these various factors are required, and our on-going survey will perhaps provide more definite data in due course. The findings show the importance of quantifying these variables, particularly in an industrial workforce where minor changes may be of significance.
