Влияние этанола на слюнные железы проявляется изменениями морфометрических показателей как конечных отделов так и выводных протоков. Но учитывая то, что полученное большое количество морфометрических показателей есть достаточно сложным, то возникает необходимость проведения корреляционного анализа, где наличие зависимостей между морфометрическими показателям определяли с помощью коэффициента Браве - Пирсона. Установлено что диагностическими критериями для оценки функционального состояния поднижнечелюстных желез крыс после действия этанола проявляется зависимостью внешнего диаметра, диаметра просвета и высоты эпителиоцитов на 12 сутки во всех паренхиматозных компонентах, что соответствует формированию хронической алкогольной зависимости у крыс.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN METRIC PARAMETERS OF PARENCHYMATOUS COMPONENTS OF RAT SUBMANDIBULAR GLANDS UNDER THE EFFECT OF ETHANOL

The effect of ethanol on the salivary glands is manifested by changes in morphometric parameters of both the final departments and excretory ducts. But taking into account that the obtained large number of morphometric indicators is rather complicated, then there is a need for a correlation analysis, where the presence of dependencies between morphometric indicators was determined using the Bravais - Pearson coefficient. It was established that diagnostic criteria for assessing the functional state of rat submandibular glands after ethanol is manifested by the dependence of the outer diameter, lumen diameter and epithelial cell height on day 12 in all parenchymal components, which corresponds to the formation of chronic alcohol dependence in rats.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN METRIC PARAMETERS OF PARENCHYMATOUS COMPONENTS OF RAT SUBMANDIBULAR GLANDS UNDER

THE EFFECT OF ETHANOL

e-mail: kvshevchenko2017@gmail.com

The effect of ethanol on the salivary glands is manifested by changes in morphometric parameters of both the final departments and excretory ducts. But taking into account that the obtained large number of morphometric indicators is rather complicated, then there is a need for a correlation analysis, where the presence of dependencies between morphometric indicators was determined using the Bravais - Pearson coefficient. It was established that diagnostic criteria for assessing the functional state of rat submandibular glands after ethanol is manifested by the dependence of the outer diameter, lumen diameter and epithelial cell height on day 12 in all parenchymal components, which corresponds to the formation of chronic alcohol dependence in rats.

Keywords: submandibular glands, rats, morphometry, correlation analysis.

The work is a fragment of the research project "Experimental morphological study of the effect of cryopreserved cord blood products and embriofetoplacental complex (EFPC), diphereline, ethanol and 1% methacrylate on the morphofunctional condition of certain internal organs ", state registration No. 0119U102925.

In the 21st century, the problem of alcohol consumption is one of the most common worldwide, and every year it tends to become large-scaled due to constant stress related to national and territorial cataclysms [5]. Alcohol consumption, as one of the global problems of society, reflects the medical and ethical problems of finding ways to solve the problem, as its consequences directly negatively affect the human body. Thus, being aware of the toxic nature of alcohol, a person does not suspect that the destruction of the body occurs due to chemical reactions catalyzed by ethanol [2]. Awareness of the outcomes of alcohol consumption and its effect on the tissues of the oral cavity and its external organs, involved in maintaining its homeostasis is relevant and important both for preservation of dental health and the entire human body.

The effect of ethanol on the salivary glands is manifested by changes in morphometric parameters of both the acini [8] and excretory ducts [9]. However, given that the resulting big amount of morphometric parameters is quite complex, there is a need for correlation analysis, which can reflect relationship between changes in one parameter with the change of another one [6].

The purpose of the work was determining correlations between the morphometric parameter s of the acini, excretory ducts and microvasculature of the normal rat submandibular salivary glands and in chronic ethanol intoxication.

Materials and methods. Morphometry involved study of the separate samples of semi-thin sections obtained from pieces of the submandibular glands of rats, administered which 12 mg/kg of 40° ethanol directly to stomach 4 times a day [3]. The animals were killed under 25 mg/kg thiopental anesthesia overdose on days 5, 9, 12 and 30 of the experiment. Pieces of the submandibular glands were embedded into epon-812 according to standard procedure [1]. Semi-thin sections were stained with methylene blue. The mean values of the outer diameter, the diameter of the lumen of the ducts and the height of the epithelial cells were determined using the Biorex-3 BM-500T microscope equipped with DCM 900 digital microphoto attachment with software, adapted to these studies. Statistical processing of the morphometric data and correlation analysis was performed using the Microsoft Excel software [7] to determine the relationships between morphometric parameters. The presence of correlation between morphometric parameters was determined using the Brave-Pearson coefficient, where Pearson's r was used to obtain simultaneously information about the direction of correlation (positive +, negative -) and the strength of the relationship (from 0 to 1). If r = 0, it is assumed that no correlation exists, the interval of 0-0.3 indicates a weak correlation, the interval of 0.30.7 indicates moderate correlation, and the interval from 0.7 to 1.0 is assumed as a strong one. Pearson's method is considered the most accurate for studying the correlation [6].

Results of the study and their discussion. Correlation analysis of the metric parameters of the submandibular glands of rats of the control group has established mainly weak relationship with the mean values of the outer diameter of the acini, except for moderate relationship with the diameter of the lumen of the venules on day 9 and 30 of the experiment ( r = 0.31 in p <0.05). The diameter of the lumen of the acini of the control group showed weak relationship with all parameters of the submandibular glands, as well as the height of the epithelial cells.

Conclusion

It has been established that the diagnostic criteria of the evaluation of the functional state of the rat submandibular glands after the effect of ethanol are the correlation between the outer diameter, the diameter of the lumen and the height of the epithelial cells on day 12 in all parenchymatous components that is associated with the development of chronic alcohol dependence in rats.

THE MORPHOLOGY OF RADIAL GLIAL SPINAL CORD OF EMBRYOS

AND HUMAN FETUSES

e-mail: v.shkolnikov@gmail.com

The study of radial glia morphology and processes of targeted migration of neural stem cells in humans remains far from being resolved. The purpose of this study is to establish the morphological aspects of radial glia of spinal cord of human in prenatal period. Morphological examination of the spinal cord of human embryos and fetuses of 6-7 weeks up to 39-40 weeks was performed. Using anatomical, histological, immunohistochemical, and morphometric morphological aspects of the radial glia of the spinal cord were established. The results showed that strong expression of vimentin and CDX-2 radial glia fibers was observed up to 8-9 weeks. From 11-12 weeks, radial glia fibers retain a radial direction only in the middle part of the segments, which, in our view, is associated with the gradual involution of radial glia, which correlates with the formation of nuclear-neural complexes of gray matter. Until the moment of birth, vimentin-positive structures of radial glia gradually disappear and can be traced only in the neuroepithelium of segments.

Key words: prenatal period, spinal cord, radial glia, neuroepitelium, immunohistochemical markers.

The study is a fragment of the research project "Determination of morphological changes of the central nervous system in the prenatal ontogeny (macroscopic, histological, morphometric and immunohistochemical study)" state registration No. 0118U001043.

Neurogenic fetal brain cells generate major cell types of the nervous system during the prenatal ontogeny, which lasts from fertilization to birth. Such neurogenic cells include neural stem cells (NSC), neural progenitor cells (NPC), and linear-specific progenitors and precursors [2]. NSC are known to be polypotent cells, which are characterized by the proliferation and formation of several cell pools simultaneously: neuroblasts or glioblasts [4, 10, 15]. To date, there is no doubt that the presence of permanent neurogenesis of some areas of the brain performs due to colonies of NSC [9, 14]. Rybachuk O.A. and Pivneva T.A. (2013) emphasize that during the embryonic ontogeny period NSC cranial nerve tubes showed greater proliferative activity than neural cells of the caudal compartments [3]. Thus, it can be predicted that the above processes are inherent in the spinal cord, which precede the formation of neuronal complexes, which in turn requires further study and refinement.

It should also be noted that the identification of NSC in vivo is traditionally based on the analysis of the morphology of these cells, their mitotic activity, and the expression of certain genes and protein synthesis. The most commonly identified NSC markers are Nestin, Sox2, Msashi 1, 2, Oct 4, Nanog, etc., but none can be used as the sole criterion for NSC identification [11].

The next step is to study the mechanisms of migration of differentiated unipotent neural cells that have just formed in the paraventricular zone.

It has been established that the most extensive migration of neural cells occurs during the process of laying the cerebral cortex [5]. At the same time, Tsymbaluk V. I. and Medvedev V. V. (2010) indicate that radial glial (RG) plays a key role in ensuring nerve cell migration during the development of other neural tube compartments and cell migration. The authors have shown that immature neurons migrate along the processes of RG cells in the centripetal direction [5].

Over time, RG cells lose the ability to express nestin and vimentin [8]. However, the authors do not specify a term when such a property is lost. In contrast, Kirik O. V. and Korzhevskii D. E. (2012) indicate that the RG cell population is heterogeneous: some cells contain neural markers (they subsequently
