[Morphologic characteristic of chronic toxic hepatitis for treatment with Neoselen].

The purpose of the given research work was to study the features of morphologic changes arising for treatment of chronic hepatitis with Neoselen. It was established a picture of chronic active hepatitis in the liver of rats with the following development of chronic persisting hepatitis by the 40 daily administration of heliotrine and its transmission into cirrhosis in a certain part of animals. Hepatic cirrhosis has a small nodal portal character by its pathognomonic morphologic signs. A noticeable remittance of destructive necrotic changes in hepatic parenchymatous elements and reduction in a volume of proliferative inflammatory infiltration with an acceleration in process of its fibrozation in only periportal zones of hepatic lobules found to be for treatment of chronic hepatitis with Neoselen. That prevents from transmission of chronic hepatitis into cirrhosis in a greater part of animals that is a morphologic evidence of importance of selenium in a restorative process of biologic membranes and its involvement in a remittance process of destructive and inflammatory changes in the liver and prevention from development of agressive hepatitis and its transmission into cirrhosis.

The purpose of the given research work was to study the features of morphologic changes arising during the treatment of chronic hepatitis with NEOSELEN. Chronic active hepatitis was set up in laboratory rats, post-forming in chronic persisting hepatitis and its transformation in a certain part of animals into cirrhosis by administration of HELIOTRINE over the period of 40 days. Morphologically hepatic cirrhosis was small nodular. NEOSELEN was found to have a good therapeutic effect in treatment of chronic hepatitis as we have seen noticeable remittance of destructive necrotic changes in hepatic parenchymatouse elements and reduction in a volume of proliferative inflammatory infiltration along with acceleration of fibrosis process only in periportal zones of hepatic lobules. The therapeutic efficacy of NEOSELEN prevents transmission of chronic hepatitis into cirrhosis in a greater part of animals thus giving morphologic signs of importance of NEOSELEN in a restorative process of destructive and inflammatory changes in the affected liver.

Prominent features of heliotrin-related chronic toxical disorders of the liver developing in hepatic cirrohosis include hyperfermentemia, hypoproteinemia, intensification of lipid peroxidation (LPO), as evidenced by decrease in the activity of the antioxidant defence. In chronic active liver disorders, hyperfermentemia and hyperlipoperoxidation are common, but it is later in the course of the experiment that hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia and manifest depression of the antioxidant defence that come to be developing. Berberin experimental pharmacotherapy has been shown to attenuate the degree of hyperfermentemia, hyperlipoperoxidation and to increase levels of albumin and antioxidant defence enzymes, particularly so earlier in the course of the studies conducted but with aggravation of the pathological process the efficacy of the drug tended to be lower. Neoselen appeared to be effective in alleviating the cytologic syndrome, hyperlipoperoxidation, increasing the activity of the antioxidant defence enzymes. Patients are found to derive more benefit from neoselen therapy with prolongation of its use.
