Effect of clamping of the renal vein in dogs on certain biochemical and histopathological changes.

Experimental investigations were carried out on dogs in which the renal vein was clamped for a period of 15 min, 30, and 60 min consecutively. It has been found that clamping of the renal vein for 15 min results in tissue anoxia and degeneration of the epithelium of the renal tubules. Clamping for 60 min causes cellular acidosis and necrosis of the tubules. It can therefore be said that clamping of the renal vein for even a short time is highly dangerous.

Effect of asparagine and arginine on the repair of isoprenaline-damaged myocardium of rat.

The effect of asparagine and arginine on the repair of isoprenaline-damaged myocardium was studied. In group I (treated with isoprenaline) the rats developed large foci of myocardial damage filled by connective tissue after 14 days. Similar changes were observed in group II (isoprenaline + asparagine). In group III of rats treated with isoprenaline and arginine the number of foci of injury and their size were smaller, and only a few small foci fibrosis were found after 14 days. Arginine seems to protect the rat myocardium from isoprenaline-induced damage. The repair by connective tissue is supplemented by compensatory hypertrophy of muscle fibers.

The effect of cytotoxic drugs on the development of murine granulocyte-macrophage (GM) progenitor cells.

The effect of cytotoxic drugs was tested on the hematopoietic system by assay of the ability of granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cell (GM-CFC) in mice to create GM colonies. The in vivo ability of bone marrow progenitor cells to granulocyte-macrophage colony formation, was tested after long-term peritoneal cytotoxic drug administration. The direct effect of these agents on cells in vitro culture was evaluated also. It was found that cytotoxic drugs inhibit the GM colony formation. The degree of damage to the bone marrow progenitor cells by assaying in vivo colony formation inhibition, depends on the drug dosage and length of therapy (after 25-30 days of treatment the colony growth was below 50%). The in vitro inhibition of granulocyte-macrophage colony formation depends on the concentration of drug (10(-7)-10(-5) M is critical for GM colony growth). The results suggest the possibility of the GM-CFC growth testing as an indicator of the progress or side effects of cytotoxic therapy.

The effect of glucocorticoids on the development of murine granulocyte-macrophage (GM) progenitors.

The effect of glucocorticoids was tested on the hematopoietic system by assay of the ability of granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFC) in mice to create GM colonies. The in vivo ability of bone marrow progenitor cells to granulocyte-macrophage colony formation was tested after long-term peritoneal glucocorticoids administration. The direct effect of these agents on cells in vitro culture was evaluated also. It was found that glucocorticosteroids inhibit the GM colony formation. The degree of damage to the bone marrow progenitor cells assaying by in vivo colony formation inhibition depends on the drug dosage and the length of therapy. The in vitro inhibition of granulocyte-macrophage colony formation depends on the concentration of the drug. The results suggest the possibility of the GM-CFC growth testing as an indicator of the side effects of prolonged corticoid therapy.
