Changes in lymphocytes following mercury administration in mice. Observations under fluorescence microscopy.

Lymphocytes were stained with vital stain acridine orange. The number of lysosomes per lymphocyte was calculated using "score" test. It should be emphasized that the present paper has proved the reliability of the fluorescence microscopy method of identification of lysosomes in the lymphocytes from peripheral blood, employed for studing the toxic effect of metals.

Acridine Orange↗

Effect of mercury, lead and acetylphenylhydrazine (APHZ) on erythrocyte and bone marrow glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.49). an electrophoretic study.

Male and female rats of Wistar strain have been injected with 0.2% HgCl2, 203HgCl2, PbNO3 and 2% APHZ, in the volume of 0.5 ml saline for 4 days. Subbands of G-6-PD enzyme from erythrocytes and bone marrow cells, were separated by disc polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Four subbands of the enzyme resulted electrophoretic separation. In erythrocytes increase of activity of fraction I. and decrease of fraction II were observed, while in bone marrow opposite reaction was visible. In both tissue following administration of Hg and Pb, fractions III and IV disappeared. In the place of disappeared bands increased radioactivity of 203Hg was detected.

Animals↗

Chronic alcoholism and the pancreas.

In rats given 15% solution of ethyl alcohol (v/v) instead of drinking water adlibitum for eight months, histochemical analysis showed a dictinct fall in activities of the oxidative enzymes (succinate and lactate dehydrogenases, DPNH-diaphorase) in the centro-acinar cells of the pancreas and in the islets of Langerhans.

Local treatment of thrombophlebitis with essaven gel.

Essaven Gel contains aescin, heparin and essential phospholipids (EPL). It was administered locally in 15 patients suffering from thrombotic inflammation of tibial superficial veins. The effect of Essaven Gel on prostaglandin synthetase activity was also studied. In 12 patients a positive result was obtained in the form of anti-inflammatory action, diminution of pain, edema, excessive warmth and flushing. The anti-inflammatory action proceeds without any participation of prostaglandin synthetase.
