Objective: to test and optimize a method for detecting clustered DNA lesions with an assessment of the quantitative characteristics of hepatic changes using an experimental model of acute toxic hepatitis.Material and methods: Laboratory C57Bl/6 mice at the age of 10 weeks were used for the study. Acute toxic liver injury was induced by means of a single intraperitoneal injection of 30 % CCI4 solution in olive oil. The withdrawal of the animals from the experiment was made after 72 hours. For the detection of clustered DNA lesions, a liver fragment was resected.Results. The electrophoretic parameters which are the most optimal for obtaining primary data for the subsequent calculation of the number of clustered DNA lesions have been proposed. The number of clusters in the DNA samples from the animals of the control group is significantly lower than in the experimental group and amounts to 54.80 [37.65; 59.24] and 76.82 [60.95; 92.41] APE1 clusters per million bp., respectively.Conclusion. Successful testing and optimization of the OCDL method for the detection of clustered lesions in liver DNA have been performed. The study has shown an increase in the number of APE1 clusters and double-strand breaks in the DNA of the C57Bl laboratory mice with induced acute toxic hepatitis, which indicates significant derangement of DNA integrity and a high risk of developing progressive liver diseases in its toxic damage.

The purpose of this study was to study the cotransplantation influence of multipotent mesenchymal stromal (MMSC) and hepatic stellate (HSC) cells on liver regeneration of old laboratory animals in conditions of its toxic damage. Acute toxic hepatitis was caused by single intraperitoneal CC14 injection at a dose of 50 μg/kg. The introduction of MMSC and HSC was carried out at doses of 4 million cl/kg and 9 million cl/kg respectively 1 hour after toxic hepatitis modelling. The morphofunctional liver state of old laboratory mice was evaluated on the 1st, 3rd, 7th day after combined injection of MMSC and HSC in laboratory animals with toxic hepatitis. As a result of the study, it was obtained that MMSC and HSC cotransplantation leads to cellular and intracellular liver regeneration activation in old mice with acute toxic hepatitis. Also, the introduction of these cell types leads to decreased liver mutagenesis, inhibition of programmed cellular hepatocytes death. Thus, the conducted studies indicate the ability of combined MMSC and HSC transplantation to restore the morphofunctional liver state of the old organism under the conditions of its toxic damage.

Many herbal preparations are routinely used and have been occasionally associated with a wide range of side effects, from mild to severe. Chinese skullcap and black catechu are herbal medications commonly used for their hepatoprotective and other properties. We report a case of acute toxic hepatitis associated with ingestion of Chinese skullcap and black catechu in one preparation for the alleviation of joint pain.
