Despite deep and comprehensive studies ofthe hypothalamus, until now there are no unified ideas about its individual reactivityand the degree of involvement of these structures in the stress response, caused by prolonged exposure to constant darkness (light deprivation).The aim of this work is to study the effect of light deprivation on the morphofunctionalstate of the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus in rats.Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on nonlinear male white rats,which were divided into 2 series of studies, biomaterial sampling of which was taken at14.00 and 02.00 h using morphofunctional and statistical research methods.Results. The study of the morphometric characteristics of the neurons of thehypothalamus SON revealed the diurnal dynamics of indices. Under the light regime12.00C:12.00T, a daily rhythm of the morpho-functional activity of SON neurons witha maximum activity is registered in rats in the daytime.When the animals were kept under conditions of constant darkness (00C:24.00T), anincrease in the size of its nucleus 21.1±2.4% (r=0.73), caused by an increase in thearea of the neuron nucleolus (r=0.89), which constituted 61.94±7.07 µm2, was revealedat 14.00. Attention was also drawn to a significant decrease in the nuclear-cytoplasmicratio (NCR) relative to intact animals, which constituted 2.07±0.041 units. Lightdeprivation led at 14.00 to a significant RNA concentration decrease in the nucleus35.3±2.1%, and in the nucleolus 26.6±1.9%.The studies, carried out at 02.00 h, revealed that the area of the neuron nucleuswas 98.33±5.40µm2and significantly larger than that in the intact animals. Thesechanges were accompanied by an increase in the area of the nucleolus, which was48.90±6.892µm2(r=0.87) and the area of the neuron cytoplasm, which was within217.61±7.19 µm2(r=0.91). The NCR of a neuron in the SON of the hypothalamus at02:00 was lower than that in the intact animals 2.67±0.17%. A significant increasein RNA concentration in the nucleus, nucleolus and cytoplasm of neurons in thehypothalamic SON was noted relative to the indices of animals of the previous timeinterval, which were under conditions of constant darkness.Compared to the daytime period (14.00 h), up to 02.90 h, NCR increase was revealedin the nighttime observation period in the neurons under study, which constituted2.55±0.022 units.Conclusions. 1. Photoperiod duration significantly affects the daily activity of thehypothalamus SON. 2. Permanent darkness (light deprivation) does not lead to aninversion of the rhythm of the morphofunctional activity of the neurons under study,the maximum values, as in intact animals, are registered in the daytime interval.

The results of clinicalresearch have shown that the delivery of MSCs to the lesion provides restoring ofmyocardial function and influences on the left ventricular remodeling.Objective – to substantiate the effectiveness of autological MSCs in the treatment ofrefractory angina.Material and methods. The results of examination, treatment and observation of 60patients with refractory angina (52 men and 8 women aged from 46 to 70 years) since2007 to 2012 are performed in the article.Results. We obtained the following data while studying of the dynamics of left ventricularend diastolic volume (LVEDV), which is a prognostic factor of the course of heart failure(HF). The decrease of LVEDV from 248.5 ± 22.3 to 194.3 ± 26.4 ml was observed inthe group of patients 3 months later after endocardial injection. This rate was stable 6months later after an injection, but lower than the initial one (p value > 0.05). A similartrend was observed in the group of intravenous injection . LVEDV decreased from 244.1± 24.3 to 193.4 ± 18.9 ml within 3 months and remained stable up to 6 months but lowerto the rate that was observed before the treatment with a trend to increasing to the initiallevel. Ultrasound studying of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients of transendocardial injection of cell transplant showed an increasing of LVEF from 41.3 ±3.2 to 49.3 ± 4.6% 3 months later after the procedure and it was stable up to 6 months ofthe posttransplant period.

The received clinical data have shown that MSCs facilitate the restoringof mechanical myocardial function and influence left ventricular remodeling aftertheir admission to the lesion zone. This effect has been confirmed according to cardiacechocardiography, treadmill-test, electromechanical mapping of the LV. The positiveeffect was remaining for 6 months.

Themorphological examination of the liver was carried out according to the standardmethods. The histopathological features of the liver were established on the basis ofthe method of staining with hematoxylin and eosin, with the confirmation, in case ofnecessity, by the histochemical methods - staining for fat (the method with Sudan-III) andcollagen fibers (the method with chromotropic-water blue according to N.Z Slinchenko).Microspectrophotometric studies were conducted using a cytological analyzer withsoftware \"VideoTest - Size 5.0\" (2000).Results. The same regularities for both trivalent iron and twovalent iron were revealed asa whole in the liver cells at histological investigations, that is in ASH the optical densityis at the average 1.3 (p<0.05) times higher than in NASH.
