RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim: To establish the dynamics of changes in the average total diameter, the diameter of the lumen of microvessels in the cortex of the rats' adrenal glands influenced by the long-term action food additives complex. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To determine the structural changes of the vessels of the hemomicrocirculatory bed of the cortex of the adrenal glands of rats in our study, we used histological, morphometric and statistical methods. RESULTS: Results: During the study, we found that the effect of a food additive complex on the vessels of the adrenal glands cortex of rats leads to a violation of hemodynamic conditions in the early stages of the experiment. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: arterioles, venules and capillaries as a capacitive link of the hemomicrocirculatory bed are actively involved in response to exogenous administration of a complex of food additives (sodium glutamate, sodium nitrite, and ponso 4 R). Processes of change of morphometric indicators of vessels are observed mainly from the fourth week of the experiment.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: The paper was aimed at the study of the processes of mineralization of the enamel of the permanent tooth after its eruption. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To study the structure of the enamel of permanent teeth has been carried out using light and electron microscopy. The study of the process of the development of the primordia of the permanent teeth involved 10 culled puppies of 30-40 days of age. Microscopic, electron microscopic, immunohistochemical methods of research have been used to study the processes of histogenesis. RESULTS: Results: The studies show that in the postnatal period, the formation of the crown, externally covered with cuticular epithelium, marks the formation of the primordium of the permanent tooth at the follicle stage. After eruption of a tooth, different parts of its crown have three individual structural and functional barriers to enamel biomineralization. The first one is provided by the cuticular epithelium of the pitted areas of the crown, which ensures filtering of the salivary fluid from the protein deposit in the form of a pellicle. The second barrier is defined on the lateral and cuspidate surfaces of the enamel, where the cuticle is erased or poorly expressed. The third structural and functional barrier of enamel biomineralization is located in the cervical portion of teeth of different classes. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Different areas of the enamel in the tooth crown have specific filtration barriers, which can be distinguished as follows: pit-and-fissure-and-groove, cuspidateand-approximal, and cervical barriers. The cuticle is poorly expressed or totally absent on the cusps of the tooth crowns in contrast to pitted areas.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To establish the possibilities and advantages of cone-beam tomography in the primary diagnostic of mandibular fractures within the dental row compared with traditional methods of radiation diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was performed involving of 28 patients who had traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial area. The age of the victims was 18-56 years. The injured people were selected who were examinated by traditional radiological methods of diagnosis in the first hours after injury, and for final diagnostic in hospital were used cone-beam tomography of the mandible. The comparison of the results obtained with the help of traditional X-ray examinations with the data of cone-beam tomography allowed to conduct a comparative analysis of the diagnostic capabilities of these methods and to determine the advantage of the last one. RESULTS: Results: A comparative analysis of the results of the examination of injured people, which were obtained by using of traditional methods and cone-beam tomography of the mandible, shows the diagnostic advantages of the last one, which allows to determine the extent of traumatic injuries of the mandible and identify hidden fractures that were not determined by traditional X-ray methods. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: For the primary diagnostics of traumatic mandibular injuries, traditional X-ray examinations may be informative, but for complex, combined injuries, as well as fractures that raise doubts,it is advisable to use cone-beam computed tomography. The use of cone-beam computed tomography in mandibular fractures makes it possible to better assess the degree of damage and determine the displacement of fragments.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: The study focuses on the morphometric features specification concerning the structural components of the hemomicrocirculatory bed of the perivulnar region of the cecum in rabbits when suturing a wound defect with synthetic polyfilament surgical suture Vicryl. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was carried out on rabbits (n = 30: 5 animals made up the control group and 25 animals made up the experimental group) and included surgery based on the method of surgical intervention on the large intestine patented by the authors, which was performed in the conditions of the operating room at the Department of Clinical Anatomy and Operative Surgery. When determining the main morphometric parameters, we took biopsy specimens of the cecum and used paraffin and epoxy resin embedding considering the generally accepted methods. RESULTS: Results: The study determined that the implantation of Vicryl surgical suture material in the tissues of the cecum became a trigger for the formation of active inflammatory focus and occurrence of leukocyte infiltrate in the perivulnar region. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Arterioles, as a resistive link, capillaries, as an exchange link and venules, as a capacitive link in the hemomicrocirculatory bed, actively participate in response to the inflammatory process and formation of a connective tissue scar. The process of structural organization of microvessels begins in the formed granulation tissue in the perivulnar region of the cecum starting from the 14th day of the experiment.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To define the degree for glial acidic fibrillary protein expression on the structural components of cerebellum of the rats in health and when rats influenced by the food additives complex. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: In order to determine the degree of expression of the immunohistochemical marker GFAP on the structural components of the cerebellum of rats we applied immunohistochemical, morphometric and statistical methods in our study. RESULTS: Results: In histological specimens at the end of 1st week of observation in the gray matter of the cerebellum there occurred a gradual increase in 1.16 times of the average number of GFAP-positive cells. At the end of 4th week of the experimental study, the average number of GFAP-positive cells increased accurately (at p<0.05 compared to the control group) in 1.27 times, at the end of 8th week it has increased in 1.99 times, at the end of 12th week in 2.25, and at the end of 16th week in 2.39 times. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The outcomes of our study are as follows the increase in the average number of GFAP-positive cells is directly related to the decrease in the average number of major neurons of the gray matter of the brain, while the fluctuations in the average number of astrocytic glia cells represent a compensatory mechanism in the recovery of gray matter neurons of the brain from neural stem cells with the subsequent development of reactive astrogliosis and, thereafter the possible development of neuropathology.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Thepaper wasaimedat thestudyof thebiomineralization processesofa permanentdental crown in thepostnatal period of histogenesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study involved 30 culled puppies aged 30-40 days. To study the histogenesis of the germs of the permanent tooth from the cuticular epithelium in the postnatal period microscopic, electron microscopic, immunohistochemical methods of study have been used. RESULTS: Results: The studies show that in the postnatal period, the maturation of the germ of a permanent tooth starts with the synthesis of cells of the cuticular epithelium of the organic stroma, capable of subsequent mineralization. Differentiation of the proameloblasts, located on the surface of the dental papillary mesenchyma, at the early stages of histogenesis, is strongly associated with the appearance of a specific protein taftelin. Origination of secretory ameloblasts, which produce the protein enamelin, triggers the process of secondary biomineralization of the enamel. The terminal processes of the secretory ameloblasts produce the protein in the form of layers that overlap each other at a certain angle. Such layering of the structures of enamel and dentin contributes to the S-shaped maturation of the hard tooth tissues, strengthening them considerably. At the follicle stage, maturation of the dental crown, coated with cuticular epithelium, occurs. Invaginations of the cuticular epithelium form a characteristic topography of the dental crown, and enamel projections are further formed by the ameloblasts. Epitheliocytes of the inner layer of the enamel organ have desmosomal connections that allow the filtration of the salivary fluid at the stage of the enamel trophism. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that, normally, due to the cuticular epithelium, filtration of the salivary fluid occurs with protein deposition on it and subsequent infiltration of the calcium salts into the subjacent enamel.

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Chronic inflammatory diseases of the mucous membranes of the nose, paranasal sinuses, and pharynx are the most common pathology of the upper airways. Pathological processes develop more often in the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses than in the frontal ones; however, the clinical course of frontitis is more severe. Fundamental understanding of the specific structure of frontal sinuses is crucial in the awareness of the precursors of the onset and development of its pathology, the choice of methods of diagnostics and treatment. The aim: The paper was aimed at the analysis of the publications on current data related to the structure and functions of the human frontal sinus and its structural components. Materials and methods: The bibliosemantic method has been used during the study. Findings of the current research works on the study of the human frontal sinus have been analyzed. RESULTS: Review: The resulting analysis shows that despite the significant amount of research works devoted to the study of the structure and functions of the frontal sinus, the morphofunctional features of its mucosa and the state of local immune protection remained unknown for a long time. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The resulting literature review showed that the study of the morphofunctional properties of the frontal sinus is relevant to date that is reflected in the number of research works, elucidating its topographoanatomical, histological, physiological and immunohistochemical features.

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: The human prostate gland contains numerous tubular masses of different calibers in its parenchyma. They form the tubuloalveolar prostate glandules, constituting from numerous prostatic excretory ductules as well as major excretory ducts. The aim: The study was aimed at 3D visualization of individual microelements of the tubuloalveolar aggregations, localized within the peripheral area. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To meet the objectives of the study a series of paraffin plane-parallel 4 µm sections has been obtained in the peripheral prostate area. The serial sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. After the analysis of the series of sections, the graphical two-dimensional and plastic 3D reconstructions of the investigated microobjects have been made sequentially in depth. RESULTS: Results: Presence of the epithelial creases and invaginations of the wall in the luminal contour of tubuloalveolar aggregations of the prostate has been found. Creases can be solitary, multiple, or wavy; they can be localized both symmetrically and asymmetrically, with different heights and thicknesses. Intraluminal invaginations, along with the epithelial crease, contain a stromal muscle component with localized blood loop-shaped microvessel. The creases of the glandular epithelium and intraluminal invaginations can "overlap" the lumens of the tubuloalveolar aggregations up to 2/3 of the width, making the inner lumen sinuous that influences the laminar flow of the liquid. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Alternation of the considerable enlargement and narrowing of the inner diameter is common for the tubuloalveolar aggregations which can affect the secreta deposition and movement.

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, an individual is being constantly accompanied by stresses in his/her everyday life. Stress reactions, produced in the process of evolution, have become the organisms' response to emergency action or pathological factors and are the important link in adaptation process. However, the adverse course of stress reaction can lead to derangement of the adaptation mechanisms in the body and become the element of the pathogenesis of various diseases. THE AIM: The study was aimed at morphological substantiation of derangement of adaptation mechanisms in white Wistar rats caused by the acute immobilization stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 40 Wistar white male rats of 240-260 g body weight aged 8-10 months were involved into study. 20 laboratory animals were assigned to the main group and the rest 20 rats formed the control (II) group. Experimental stress model was simulated by immobilization of rats, lying supine, for 6 hours. Morphological examination of heart, lungs and kidneys was carried out after animals' decapitation, which proved the derangement of rats' adaptation mechanisms caused by the acute immobilization stress. RESULTS: It has been established that six-hour immobility of rats, lying in the supine position, led to the development of destructive phenomena, hemorrhagic lesions and impaired hemomicrocirculation. Microscopically, the acute immobilization stress causes significant subendocardial hemorrhages, plethora of vessels of hemomicrocirculatory flow with dysdiemorrhysis, myocardial intersticium edema in the heart. Histologically, immobilization-induced trauma causes significant hemodynamic disorders, spasm of arterioles and considerable venous hyperemia, concomitant with microthrombosis in kidneys; at the same time dystrophic lesions and desquamation of epithelium of renal tubules has been observed in renal corpuscles. CONCLUSION: The abovementioned structural changes can contribute to origination and development of multiple lesions, demonstrating the morphologically grounded role of the acute immobilization stress as the factor for disorders of adaptive mechanisms.

INTRODUCTION: Stress is defined as a complex of protective and disturbing responses of the organism, generated in the process of the evolution, which occur as a result of neuroendocrine and metabolic alterations in response to the impact of emergency or pathological factors. Hence, stress is an important link of the adaptive mechanism; however, its adverse course can contribute to pathogenesis of many diseases. The problem of stress, which has been under study for years, is still a relevant topic to be investigated. AIM: The paper was aimed at comparison of various models of chronic immobilization stress based on the published data and findings from our own research. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The comparative analysis of the various techniques of chronic immobilization stress simulation in rats has been carried out on the basis of published data and findings of our own studies. RESULTS: It has been shown that the model, proposed by the investigators from the Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy aids in reducing the time of experimental study, does not require sophisticated equipment and the use of additional stressors, at night time, in particular, as well as enables animals' restraint in the convenient morning time. CONCLUSIONS: This technique is easy-to-use and can be applied while studying the influence of the immobilization stress on the body.
