RESUMO
Using DNA comet assay we found that polysaccharides from Tussilago farfara L. reduced the intensity of polychemotherapy-induced apoptosis and DNA damage in bone marrow cells and small intestinal epithelium of C57Bl/6 mice, which attested to genoprotective properties of these polysaccharides.

We studied the efficiency of dihydroquercetin on the model of chronic nonbacterial inflammation of the prostatic gland in rats. It was found that administration of dihydroquercetin was followed by a significant decrease in the area of the connective tissue in the prostatic gland to initial levels, which attested to antifibrotic properties of this oxidant. Additionally, the substance prevented the development of atrophy of acinus epithelium. After administration of reference drug Prostamol Uno, only moderate antifibrotic effects were observed.

We studied possible toxic effects of antiviral drug Kagocel on reproductive function in pubertal male rats. The drug was administered in therapeutic and 10-fold higher doses throughout the spermatogenesis cycle (48 days). Kagocel did not reduce mating and fertilizing capacities, did not suppress spermatogenesis, and had no toxic effects on the offspring. The results characterize Kagocel as a drug with a broad reproductive safety profile and demonstrate that the age limits for using Kagocel in pediatric practice can be extended.

Effectiveness of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor immobilized by using electronbeam synthesis nanotechnology was investigated on the model of experimental testicular failure caused by the toxic effect on stem spermatogonia. Administration of the drug to experimental paclitaxel-treated animals increased the number of sources of the proliferative pool of spermatogenesis and its productivity. The effectiveness of immobilized granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was based on its ability to stimulate reparative regeneration of the spermatogenic tissue, which manifested in a decrease in spermatogenic layer maturity and increase in the number of microenvironment cells. Effectiveness of the immobilized form of the drug was superior to that of non-immobilized form.
