A mathematical model of intracellular calcium homeostasis in smooth muscle cells has been investigated by computer modelling method. The results of calculations showed that for the plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) the limiting rate (V(mPM)) increasing or the Michaelis constant (K(mPM)) decreasing result in a lowering of the Ca2+ concentration in cytosol and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR); the slight V(mPM) decreasing or K(mPM) increasing result in fluent cytosolic Ca2+ strengthening due to slow basal influx (SBI) since a massive release of Ca2+ from SR does not occur. The further V(mPM) decreasing or K(mPM) increasing stimulate the Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release from SR and the system passes into oscillation mode; when the certain low V(mPM) or high K(mPM) level is reached the oscillations of Ca2+ concentration in cytosol are stopped, there is only first oscillation after which a new level of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is formed fluently: this level is higher than in the initial basal condition (IBC). Sensitivity of myocytes with the lowering of V(mPM) or increasing K(mPM) to agonist action is rising but sensitivity of myocytes with increasing V(mPM) or decreasing K(mPM) to agonist action is reducing. If the PMCA parameters (V(mPM) or K(mPM)) are changed then passive influx of Ca2+ in cytosol from extracellular space remains virtually invariable and it is equal to SBI value during the whole process. Initial rate of PMCA in a new equilibrium condition (NEC) is equal virtually to initial rate in IBC: it allows to calculate a new value V(mPM) or K(mPM) from cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in NEC.

Free-radical processes upon long-term omeprazole-induced gastric hypochlorhydria in the rat liver were researched. Intensification of oxidative processes in the liver tissue upon gastric hypoacid state was established: overproduction of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, the quantitative changes of lipid functional groups, increased level of lipid peroxidation products, and augmentation of xanthine oxidase activity. The expression of Tgfb1 gene increased, while the expression of Hgf gene was not detected upon long-term suppression of gastric acid secretion of hydrochloric acid by omeprazole that indicated possible development of liver fibrosis. Abovementioned parameters were only partially restored to control values in the case of simultaneous administration of multiprobiotic "Symbiter acidophilic" concentrated with omeprazole, thus indicating the ability of this preparation to counteract the development of oxidative damages in liver tissues upon long-term gastric hypoacidic conditions.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility to reduce the doxorubicin toxic effects by its immobilization with N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) on nanocarier polyethylene glycol. The studied parameters of the doxorubicin toxicity were: the level of creatinine in the mice blood plasma and activity of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the blood plasma of mice. The activity of catalase superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and intensity of lipid peroxidation was determined in the tissues of the heart, kidneys and liver. Doxorubicin in the content of nanocarrier alone caused an increase of serum creatinine and aspartateaminotrasferase activity in plasma of experimental animals with carcinoma. Nanocomposite which contained doxorubicin and NSE, did not cause an increase of these parameters. It has been shown that the administration of a carrier containing doxorubicin to mice with Lewis lung carcinoma caused the decrease of catalase activity in mice with carcinoma. The combination of NSE and doxorubicin on the carrier led to the normalization of this parameter to the level of intact animals. NSE immobilized on a carrier together with doxorubicin caused a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase in the kidney tissue of mice with tumor. The tumor growth caused the increase of the of superoxide dismutase in mice. The administration of a carrier which contained doxorubicin and NSE normalized superoxide dismutase in heart tissue contrary of kidney. The obtained results show the antitoxic and antioxidant effects of N-stearoylethanolamine immobilized in the nanocarrier complex together with doxorubicin.

It is known that inflammatory cytokines, which level is significantly increased in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as interferon-beta, which is used to treat autoimmune diseases, can inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent processes of detoxification and biotransformation. The uncontrolled decrease of the activity of these processes may have a negative affect on the state of patients, so it is urgent to study the functional state of the cytochrome P450 system and to develop effective means for its regulation in these conditions. The effect of vitamin D3 and efficiency of its composition with vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP, E, alpha-lipoic, alpha-linolenoic acid and mineral substances (Mg, Zn, Se) in prevention of a functional state changes of cytochrome P450- and b5-dependent systems of the rat brain and liver endoplasmic reticulum at EAE are investigated. It has been shown that the essential decrease of the level of these cytochromes is observed both in the brain and liver. In addition the level of activity of NADH- and NADPH-oxidoreductases, which are part of microsomal electron transport chain components and coupled with monooxigenases, was reduced. These changes confirm the disturbances of a redox state and functional activity of detoxication and biotransformation systems in the studied animal tissues. Supplement of vitamin D3 as well as the composition of biologically active substances, which we developed earlier, effectively eliminated the decrease of the level of cytochromes and activities of NADH-oxidoreductase in immunised rat tissues. Normalization of these disturbances can be explained by antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties of applied substances, and also by the ability to reduce the activity of inflammatory reactions by regulation of the level of inflammatory cytokines in rat organism at EAE. Thus the studied vitamin-mineral composition appeared to be more effective to normalize the found disturbances and it can be useful for prevention of exacerbations and for improvement of a status of patients with multiple sclerosis and other diseases, which are accompanied with hyperactivation of immune system.

In blood plasma of 8 healthy volunteers with resuspended lymphocytes incubated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) the drug distribution between cells and liquid was assessed by means of HPLC. Rapid accumulation of 5-FU in lymphocytes was proved (the drug concentration on the 3-rd minute is 2.5-fold higher than in plasma) as well as the absence of temporal changes of 5-FU content both in lymphocytes and blood plasma during 30 minutes of experiment.

Plasma membrane Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase is an important element of general myometrium tonus control mechanism, which also makes a contribution to muscle tension relaxation after its contraction. Expiriments were done on the myometrial cell plasma membrane suspension, which was treated with 0.1% digitonin solution. The authors have investigated the inhibitory action of calix[4]arene C-90 (5,11,17,23-tetra(trifluor) methyl(phenylsulphonylimino)-methylamino-25,26,27,28-tetra propoxi-calix[4]arene) on the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity (the magnitude of 10.5 was 20.2 +/- 0.5 mkM). The inhibitory action of calix[4]arene C-90 on the activity of Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase is explained as cooperative action of four trifluormethyl(phenylsulfonylimino)methylamino groups that are spatially oriented on the calix[4]-arene base rather than with the action of tetra-phenol macrocycle or separate pharmacophore sulphonilamidin groups. Considering established kinetic pattern of calix[4]arene C-90 inhibitory action on the plasma membrane Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity, stationary kinetical model of basal calcium concentration control in unexcited uterus myocytes was developed. It is assumed that obtained results may be promising for creation of new generation ("supramolecular") pharmacological agent - uterus basal tonus stimulator - on the base of calix[4] arene C-90.

The dependence of respiration rate of rat permeabilized acinar pancreacytes on oxidative substrates concentration was studied at various [Ca2+] - 10-8-10-6 M. Pancreacytes were permeabilized with 50 microg of digitonin per 1 million cells. Respiration rate was measured polarographically using the Clark electrode at oxidation of succinate or pyruvate either glutamate in the presence of malate. Parameters of Michaelis-Menten equation were calculated by the method of Cornish-Bowden or using Idi-Hofsti coordinates and parameters of Hill equation - using coordinates {v; v/[S]h}. In the studied range of [Ca2+] the kinetic dependence of respiration at pyruvate oxidation is described by the Michaelis-Menten equation, and at oxidation of succinate or glutamate - by Hill equation with h = 1.11-1.43 and 0.50-0.85, respectively. The apparent constant of respiration half-activation (K0.5) did not significantly change in the studied range of [Ca2+] while at 10-7 M Ca2+ it was 0.90 +/- 0.06 mM for succinate, 0.096 +/- 0.007 mM for pyruvate and 0.34 +/- 0.03 mM for glutamate. Maximum respiration rate Vax at pyruvate oxidation increased from 0.077 +/- 0.002 to 0.119 +/- 0.002 and 0.140 +/- 0.002 nmol O2/(s.million cells) due to the increase of [Ca2+] from 10-7 to 5x10-7 or 10-6 M, respectively. At oxidation of succinate or glutamate Ca2+ did not significantly affect Vmax Thus, the increase of [Ca2+] stimulates respiration of mitochondria in situ of acinar pancreacytes at oxidation of exogenous pyruvate (obviously due to pyruvate dehydrogenase activation), but not at succinate or glutamate oxidation.

The participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions in realization of influence of exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) on the heat resistance of wheat coleoptiles has been investigated. Influence of 1 microM JA caused the transitional intensifying of generation of superoxide anion-radical (O2*-) and hydrogen peroxide in coleoptiles with the maximum within 15-30 minutes after the treatment beginning. Within the first hour after the beginning of coleoptiles treatment with JA the increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was noted. Later on (within 5-24 hours after the treatment beginning) there was the lowering of ROS generation by coleoptiles of experimental variant, and the SOD activity approached the control value. Intensifying of generation of superoxide radical induced by JA was suppressed by the antioxidant ionol and was partially levelled by imidazole (inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase), EGTA (chelator of extracellular calcium) and lanthanum chloride (calcium channels blocker). Pretreatment of coleoptiles with the ionol, imidazole, EGTA and LaC3l3 also partially removed the effect of increase of their resistance to the damaging heating caused by exogenous JA. It is supposed that the ROS generated with participation NADPH-oxidase, which activity depends on the receipt of calcium ions from extracellular space in the cytosol, are involved in realization of physiological effects of JA.

Antibodies to ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin in the blood of mice were revealed using dot blot analysis and immunoenzyme analysis when applying the investigated polymer as a carrier of these protein antigens. Adjuvant properties of the polymer were compared to aluminum hydroxide, which is a component of many traditional vaccines. Experimental polymer was a stronger adjuvant because it led to an increase of specific antibodies against ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin.

No liver and colon alterations in rats, caused by cytostatic compounds 5-amino-4-(1,3-benzothyazol-2-yl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-one (D1) and 1-(4-Cl-benzyl)-3-Cl-4-(CF3-phenylamino)-1H-pyrrol-2,5-dione (MI-1) when administered over a long time were found, as evidenced by the histopathological data and the data of activity of transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase in the blood serum. D1 and MI-1 in vivo decrease the total area of DMH-induced colon tumors in rats by 46-60%. Furthermore, D1 and MI-1 partially protect the liver and colon mucosa from toxic effects caused by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) reducing DNA oxidative modifications, as evidenced by urine 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine level. The effects of both compounds are similar, but MI-1 is less toxic for the liver and colon of intact animals possessing more pronounced antitumor activity and protective properties in the setting of chemically induced carcinogenesis.
