[Hepatoprotectors containing phospholipids decrease the immunosuppressive effect of prednisolone in rats with experimental toxic hepatitis].

The experiments on rats with a model toxic hepatitis induced by tetrachloromethane showed that hepatoprotectors containing phospholipids (eplir and essentiale) introduced in combination with prednisolone decrease the immunodepressant effect of this glucocorticoid, as manifested by a decrease in the atrophy of thymus and an increase in the amount of blood lymphocytes, the number of splenic blasts, and the functional activity of mononuclear cells in C3b and Fc(gamma) receptors in peritoneal exudate.

[The role of interleukin-5 in manifestation of bronchial hyperreactivity (an experimental study)].

Mechanography was used to study contractile reaction of airway smooth muscles in experimental bronchial asthma in intact guinea-pigs and those incubated with IL-5. Development of experimental bronchial asthma (BA) in the animals leads to enhancement of contractile reactions of bronchial smooth muscles in response to histamine action. The exposure to IL-5 of the preparations of bronchial smooth muscles increases histamine-mediated bronchial contractility. This may explain the phenomenon of IL-5-mediated bronchial hyperreactivity in the absence of eosinophilic damage to the tissues. Expression of mRNA of IL-5 receptor alpha-chain suggests that development of IL-5-mediated hypersensitivity of bronchial smooth muscles occurs due to the presence of a relevant IL-5 receptor on their surface.
