Helminth fauna of the stoat (Mustela erminea Linneaus, 1758) and the weasel (M. nivalis Linnaeus, 1758) in Belorussian Polesie

Helminthological examinations of 30 stoat and 31 weasel carcasses were carried out in Belorussian Polesie (southern part of Belarus, Brest and Gomel regions) between 1980 and 1999. The total rate of helminth infection of these animals was 78.7%. A total of 23 stoats and 25 weasels were infected by helminths. The animals were hosts for 20 species of helminths.     

Helminth fauna of cervids in Belorussian Polesie

We report on the examination of 18 elk ( Alces alces), 16 red deer (Cervus elaphus)and 16 roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus) from the Belorussian Polesie in the period 1981-1998 for helminths. A total of 18 helminth species were found including Dictyocaulus eckerti, Fasciola hepatica, Oesophagostomum venulosum, Taenia hydatigena larvae and Trichuris ovis, all of which occurred in all host species. Sixteen of the species found are known to infect humans, domestic animals and/or farm animals.

Iodine metabolism in the thyroid gland in chronic uranium poisoning

Metabolism of radioactive and stable iodine in the thyroid gland and blood of rats with chronic uranium poisoning was studied for 21 days after administration of¹³¹I. In uranium poisoning the number of iodide-transport loci in the gland and the size of the intrathyroid iodine pool are reduced and the concentration of stable iodine in the thyroid tissue is lowered. The compensatory reaction of the gland takes the form of an increase in its mass and in the rate of thyroid metabolism.Institute of Nuclear Energy, Academy of Sciences of the Belorussian SSR, Minsk.

Physicochemical properties of DNP systems of leukemic cells with different numbers of chromosomes

Investigation of the thermomechanical and disaggregation properties of supramolecular DNP systems isolated from leukemic cells revealed a stronger bond than normally between their components. This property of the DNP structures was independent of the subpopulation to which the leukemic cells belonged and of their number of chromosomes (diploid or hyperdiploid sets), i.e., the change in the properties of the chromatin was more specific for leukemic cells than the numerical chromosomal aberrations.Laboratory of Pathophysiology of Leukemia, Belorussian Scientific-Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Minsk.

Effect of 3-acetylpyridine on adrenocortical function

The corticosteroid concentration in the blood of rats was found to be lowered after injection of 3-acetylpyridine. In rats previously given 3-acetylpyridine, ACTH reduced the fall in the corticosteroid level in the blood and adrenal tissue compared with that in intact animals. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the adrenals was reduced after administration of 3-acetylpyridine. It is suggested that 3-acetylpyridine exerts its action at the adrenal level by inhibiting NADPH generation in dehydrogenase system.Department of Regulation of Metabolism, Academy of Sciences of the Belorussian SSR, Grodno.

Cellular regulation of secretion of mitogenic factor by human lymphocytes in vitro

The principles governing production of mitogenic factor in human lymphocyte cultures stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) were studied. The mitogenic activity of the culture media were tested in the presence of antibodies against PHA. Irradiation of the lymphocytes sharply increased their ability to produce mitogenic factors. Removal of phagocytic cells by means of iron carbonyl also led to marked stimulation of production of the factor. Irradiations and removal of phagocytic cells were shown to stimulate production of mitogenic factor by different mechanisms.Laboratory of Cellular Immunology, Belorussian Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Minsk.

Ability of animals to give a humoral immune response and its effect on development of experimental leukemias

Experiments on AKR and C57BL mice of different ages, using experimental models of transplantable Gross (first generation), Pujman, and spontaneous leukemia of AKR mice, showed that the ability of mice to produce humoral antibodies is inversely proportional to their susceptibility to inoculation of syngeneic leukemic cells and also to the incidence of spontaneous leukemia. The difference in ability to form an immune response to heterologous antigen were due to the physiological processes taking place in the aging organism. The results indicate that a failure of one component of immunity does not necessarily lead to an increased risk of tumor development in vivo.Laboratory of Pathophysiology of Leukemias, Belorussian Research Institute of Blood Transfusion, Minsk.
