We measured the contents of B-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins of M, G, A classes, circulating immune complexes in blood of the recipient rabbits and antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes. Number of B-lymphocytes in the blood of the rabbits was determined according to Bianco. Immunoglobulin content in blood serum of the rabbits was measured based on the Mancini method. The spectrophotometry method was used to measure circulating immune complexes. The antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes was identified by the colorimetric method. Modeling of erythrocyte mass transfusion was performed on five clinically healthy rabbits by intravenous injection of allogeneic erythrocyte mass in the dose of 5.5 mL/kg of body weight. The materials for the study were the blood samples, gathered on the 3rd, 7th, and 23rd days after transfusion. We found that the content of B-lymphocytes in blood of the recipient rabbits increased throughout the research: on the 3rd day the content of B lymphocytes, compared with the initial state (11.4%), increased by 1.94 times and was 22.2%; on the 7th day their content increased by 2.22 times and was 25.4%; and on the 23rd day of the experiment the content of lymphocytes increased by 2.46 times, compared with the initial state, equaling 28.6%. The content of IgM on the 3rd day after transfusion of erythrocyte mass increased by 54.9% and was 2.20 ± 0.70 g/L.

Their gastronomic traditions, knowledge about useful plants, and methods of their application have been passed from generation to generation. In this review we analyse the species composition of plants that are used as spices in the national cuisine, how many there are, and what prospects there are for their use. Field surveys were conducted to collect ethnobotanical data of the use of aromatic plants in all of regions in Armenia during the years 2016–2022. 58 informants (42 women and 16 men) were interviewed after obtaining their prior informed oral consent. The informants included farmers, housewives and cooks engaged in preparing the national cuisine. All the informants participated voluntarily and shared their life experience, knowledge received from grandmothers and their professional skills. For the first time, a list of spicy plants of the flora of Armenia which were used in the preparation of national dishes is presented. Some species are no longer used, because classic spices are already available for sale, but some species of plants are still used today as a seasoning in national dishes. In the flora of Armenia there are 142 species of spicy aromatic plants belonging to 115 genera and 46 families. Studies have shown that the largest number of spicy-aromatic plants grow in Central and Southern Armenia (Armeno-Iranian floral province). On the basis of this rich plant resource, it is possible to organize the cultivation of organic spicy plants and spices in order to use them in various branches of the food industry. The recollected knowledge of our ancestors in the area of cheesemaking, winemaking, beermaking, combining centuries of experience with today's new technologies and use of spice plants can be used to develop the country's economy.","PeriodicalId":21094,"journal":{"name":"Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139348697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we determined the epizootic role of the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus, 1763); Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in the spread of Mycobacterium bovis. We identified the effect of the beetle on properties of the pathogen, particularly the changes in morphology, cultural, biochemical, and biological properties after the bacteria had travelled through the body of the rice weevil. To achieve our objectives, we used the museum 100th passage of the virulent strain of M. bovis. We employed microscopic, cultural, biochemical, biological (infecting the biological model), pathoanatomic, histological methods, and PCR studies. The rice weevil is able to retain mycobacteria and release them into their environment for 30 days after becoming infected, with gradual decrease in the number of microbial cells. According to morphology and cultural properties, the pathogen we isolated in the experiment was identical to the initial culture. Enzymatic activity of the bacteria varied. The bacteria that had passed through the intestines of M. bovis were observed to have changes in the biochemical parameters which helped them to adapt to the new environment. We measured the effect of the rice weevil on pathogenicity of M. bovis, isolated directly from the beetle and from grain contaminated with the insects during the experiment. The practical importance of the study consists in expansion of our understanding of the ways M. bovis spreads, identification of effect the rice weevil has on mycobacteria. It also might help in the search for ways to interrupt the chain of tuberculosis transmission – prevention of spread of the disease to favourable areas.","PeriodicalId":21094,"journal":{"name":"Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139348878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using selenium as nanoparticles (SeNPs) is one of the essential methods for enhancing its therapeutic effects and lowering toxicities. This study aimed to analyze the changes made to the parameters of androgens, such as testosterone and gonadotropin hormones: luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormones together with sperm indexes after administration of antioxidant phytofabricated nanoselenium to mitigate oxidative damage brought on by ketoconazole. In brief, 1% weight-per-volume of the extract was loaded into a solution of 10 mM sodium selenite in various ratios on a magnetic stirrer (50 °C, PH 9) in the dark for 12 hours, left for 48 hours and then sent for characterization, which was performed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis spectra), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Then after the selection of the solution containing the optimal fabricated selenium nanoparticles it was administered to three groups out of seven groups of albino rats with eight animals in each one as follows: Gr. A negative control (no treatment), Gr. B oral ketoconazole 50 mg/kg for fourteen days, Gr. BC, BD, BE1, BE2 and BE3; each one received oral ketoconazole 50 mg/kg for fourteen days followed by: 200 mg/kg Eruca sativa (Gr. BC), 0.5 mg/kg oral sodium selenite (Gr. BD), 0.5 mg/kg/cm2 skin area local nanoselenium (Gr. BE1), 0.25 mg/kg oral nanoselenium (Gr. BE2) and 0.5 mg/kg oral nano selenium (Gr. BE3) respectively for 28 days. After this period, the animals were anesthetized, and plasma testosterone, luteinizing, and follicle stimulating hormones were assessed using Elisa Kit; after that, they were euthanized, and the epididymis of the right testis was carefully removed for evaluation of sperm indices (count, viability, abnormality, and motility). The reduction of selenium ions into PF-SeNPs induced by Eruca sativa extracts at a ratio of (1:2) (Na2SeO3: Eruca sativa) solution was confirmed by the gradual conversion of colour from dark brown to light yellow and then to reddish-orange after the addition of acidic sodium selenite solution and reacting for 12 h. The final reddish-orange colour is the most significant property of nanoparticles. In UV-vis spectroscopy, a strong absorption peak appeared between 268–964 nm with maxima at 268 nm, confirming the formation of nanoselenium. The optimal phytofabricated nanoselenium particles were obtained with a spherical shape, highly stable, and the smallest in size (39.4 nm in diameter) as proved by DLS with Poly Dispersity Index of 0.242 and zeta potential value of –56.57 mV.

The effect of aqueous extract from different mistletoe host trees (Abies alba, Acer saccharinum, Malus domestica, Pinus sylvestris) on model objects (Allium cepa and Drosophila milanogaster), bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus), and fungi (Aspergillus niger, Heterobasidion annosum, Inonotus obliquus) was evaluated. The influence of mistletoe extracts on A. cepa, D. melanogaster and basidiomycetes species H. annosum and I. obliquus was demonstrated for the first time. The study findings revealed that the impact of mistletoe aqueous extract exhibits considerable variation, influenced by multiple factors. These factors include the specific tree from which mistletoe is obtained, the concentration used, and the organism targeted. Mistletoe extracts caused the appearance of cells with pathologies in the meristematic tissues of A. cepa at different stages of the plant cell cycle. A clear cytostatic effect on A. cepa and D. melanogaster was shown, with the highest effect of mistletoe extract obtained from A. saccharinum. The main action of the solution on cells is probably manifested in the inhibition of cell division according to the results of the cytotoxicity assessment of aqueous extracts of mistletoe. Antibacterial activity of concentated mistletoe extract obtained from A. saccharinum was found only against S. aureus with zone of growth inhibition 11.0 ± 0.1 mm. In the assay on agar plates the tested extracts stimulated the mycelial growth of A. niger 1.85 times higher compared to the control, but inhibited the growth of H. annosum, I. obliquus at 65.5% and 62.2%, respectively. However, the biomass production of H. annosum was strongly dependent on the host mistletoe tree of the aqueous extract, and both the inhibition of mycelial synthesis of the wood-destroying fungus and its stimulating effect on mycelial accumulation were found. A negative effect (1.46 times decrease in biomass ) of H. annosum was found in the case of application of mistletoe extract obtained from A. saccharinum. The highest stimulation effect on fungus (1.53 times increase in biomass) was established by using mistletoe extract prepared from A. alba. In this study the main effects on living organisms used were indirectly caused by the host trees of mistletoe extracts.

Therefore, the aim of our work was to prepare a liposomal drug from extract from the seeds of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., adding tocopherol acetate, lecithin, squalene, and Tween 80. The drug was used on the laboratory animals (rats) intramuscularly to measure the efficacy of treatment of experimentally modeled toxic fatty liver disease. The fatty infiltration of the liver in the rats was caused by tetrachloromethane (ССl4). The efficacy of the liposomal drug based on the extract from S. marianum seeds was studied on 25 animals in which the liver pathology had been caused by 50% oil solution of ССl4, administered in the dose of 5 mL per kg of body weight. The diseased rats were divided into five groups, each consisting five animals. Animals of the four experimental groups – first, second, third, and fourth - received the drug intramuscularly in the doses of 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, and 1.50 mL/kg of body weight three times every two days, respectively. At the same time, the control rats received three-time intramuscular injection of physiological solution in the dose of 0.5 mL/kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals with fatty liver disease by injections of the drug based on the extract from S. marianum seeds normalized the general condition, significantly improved the functions and structure of the liver. Biochemical studies of blood serum of the sick animals after the treatment revealed increase in albumin content, which may suggest reduction of the protein-synthesizing function of the liver. The normalization of the bile-forming and bile-excreting functions of the liver, and also elimination of cholestasis were evidenced by reduced contents of bile acids and total bilirubin and increased total cholesterol in the blood serum of the rats. After treating the animals with the created drug, we saw decrease in the activity of the liver-indicator enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and glutamate dehydrogenase) in the blood serum, which is a sign of recovery of the structure of hepatocytes and elimination of cytolysis. Histological studies of the liver of the treated rats confirmed the positive effect of the liposomal drug on the organ’s structure.

Another part of it are database systems which serve to store data necessary for meta-analysis. In recent years, there has been a boom mainly thanks to enabling technologies that make it possible to obtain big data about the functioning of living cells of organisms. Bioinformatics tools are necessary to process these data and form an integral part of research in modern biological and medical sciences. Scientific research focused on molecular biology, as well as medicine, is increasingly focusing on data storage. It is understood that the correct structure of the database is important for the correct interpretation of the results of their research activities. For communication between tables in the database, it is essential to set the data type, assign Primary key and Foreign key, ensure data integrity, remove data plurality and understand the research logic. Based on these needs, we created a relational database using SQL Server 2017 and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2017 (SSMS). We created the source code for programming the database and filling it with data in Structured Query Language (SQL) and T-SQL on the Microsoft platform. Of the data types, we used float for numbers with a floating decimal line, integer values were assigned an integer (int), date had a date data type, and text strings had a defined nvarchar data type. Our results bring new information in the field of bioinformatics about the creation of a database structure for data storage in cell biology research. These new insights will help big data in meta-analyses of data and applying scientific results to medical and scientific practice. The database will store data obtained in real time, which will ensure relevance in pointing out biological trends, regularities, relationships and links between cellular structures. All these aspects are very important for the spatial modeling of data and the creation of models of interactions of cell structures with use for applications in medical and biological practice.","PeriodicalId":21094,"journal":{"name":"Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139349938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
