[Effect of prolonged administration of low doses of essential oils on the immune response and sensitivity of mice to the action of ionizing radiation].

The effect of ionizing radiation (1 Gy) on the immunological characteristics of spleen in the mice that consumed essential oils of oregano, clove bud and the mixture of lemon oil with ginger extract at low doses with drinking water for 6 months was studied. It was found that the essential oils increased the content of antibody forming lymphocyte cells in the spleen. The maximal effect in comparison with control was found for essential oil of clove bud.

[Postradiation volatile secretion and development of immunosupression effectes by laboratory mice with various genotype].

The appearance of lines CBA and C57Bl/6 in the urine of mice irradiation volatile excretions with immunosupression property was associated with the violation at mice of ability to immunogenesis. It was established, that immunosupression activity of excretions irradiated mice CBA and C57Bl/6 did not depend on genotip of mice. However, by irradiated mice C57Bl/6 immunosupression components, depressing antibody formation at intact mice, appeared earlier, than at CBA. Immunosypression, limited postradiation volatile secretion in view of depression humoral immune response at intact mice kept for not a long time and mostly expressed on the course 2-3 days after exposition with postradiation secretion.

[Syngeneic and allogeneic immunosupression effects of post-irradiation volatile excretions of mice]. / Singennye i allogennye immunosupressivnye éffekty postradiatsionnykh letuchikh vydelenii myshei.

It was shown that immune and olfactory highly reactive CBA mice have reduced the ability to immune response in more extent under influence of volatile excretions of irradiated (4 Gy) singene mice, than allogene (C57Bl/6) mice. In lowreactive C57BL/6 mice deterioration of immune response also took place after influence of excretions of singene irradiated mice. There were no difference between the effects caused by excretions of intact and irradiated allogene (CBA) mice.

[Synthesis and study of B-nor-8-isoanalogs of steroid estrogens]. / Sintez i issledovanie B-nor-izoanalogov steroidnykh éstrogenov.

The study of the binding of estradiol B-nor-8-isonalogues to estrogen receptors from the rat uterus helped create the proposed model of the corresponding ligand-receptor complexes. The use of this model ensured the choice of such micromodifications in this steroid group that sharply decreased their hormonal activity. By the example of 16,16-dimethyl-D-homo-B-nor-8-isoestrone, we demonstrated the possibility of the synthesis of the estrogen analogues devoid of uterotropic activity but retaining immunosuppressive activity.

[Post-radiation communicative induction of blood and immunity disorders]. / Postradiatsionnaia kommunikativnaia induktsiia narushenii krovi i immuniteta.

Intact rats and mice were kept in one cage with irradiated rats and mice. Measurements of leukocyte and nuclear neutrophils counts in the peripheral blood, weight of the thymus and immune reactivity int he intact animals indicated that 1-2 weeks of sharing cage with irradiated animals produced a fall in the above values compared to those of the controls. This seems to be a reaction to changed behavior of the irradiated animals. The intact ones experienced anxiety which may provoke the above disorders.
