Abstract
Introduction: At the present time many clinical and experimental studies are devoted to the correction of hepatocytes and liver functional abnormalities with the use of cellular technologies.
Materials and Methods: Experimental studies were performed on 175 Wistar rats weighing from 120 to 140 g. Acute toxic liver damages (ATLD) in laboratory animals was simulated by intramuscular injection of carbon tetrachloride (CTC) at a dose of 3 ml/kg as 50% solution in olive oil five times with an interval of 24 h. Results and Discussion: The introduction of Essentiale H and hypoxen to the animals with ATLD enabled to normalize PTI, TAA and the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes (SOD and catalase) and corrected the concentrations of MDA and SMON. Simultaneous introduction of CLAH proteins, Essentiale H and hypoxen to animals with acute toxic liver damage, in comparison with the previous groups of experimental animals, additionally normalizes the concentration of MDA and SMON in blood plasma. Combined administration of Essentiale N, hypoxen and CLAH proteins, in comparison with the previous groups of experimental animals, normalizes the concentration of MDA, SOD activity, sorption capacity of erythrocytes.
Conclusion: The administration of hepatocytes culture liquid of intact rats in combination with pharmacological preparations (Essentiale Forte H and Hypoxen) to allogeneic recipients intoxicated with CTC corrects systemic metabolic disorders arising from the action of hepatotrophic poison more efficiently, in comparison with their separate use.
Keywords: allogenic hepatocytes, xenogeneic hepatocytes, fibroblasts, sublimated culture liquid, liver damages in carbon tetrachloride intoxication, Essentiale forte H, Hypoxen.
Introduction
The incidence of acute and chronic liver diseases in the overall structure of human diseases and the mortality from this type of pathology keeps steadily growing even in economically developed countries [1, 2, 3]. The problems of diagnostics, pathogenesis and treatment of chronic and acute liver diseases remain relevant these days. This is due not only to the continuing tendency for increase in the number of patients with this nosology, but
the diagnostics complexity and the difficulty choosing the most effective therapies in this category of patients as well. Frequent liver pathologies include acute toxic liver damages (ATLD), complicated by the development of hepatic insufficiency under intoxication with hepatotoxic poisons, taking large doses of analgesics, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimetabolic and other medications [4, 5, 6].
Unsatisfactory results of ATLD treatment are currently due to the lack of effective

pathogenetically substantiated
pharmacotherapy, that is why, a promising direction for such pathological conditions correction is in the use of cellular technologies, and one of such directions is the use of humoral factors obtained during the cultivation of xeno-and allogeneic hepatocytes, fetal fibroblasts [7, 8, 9]. This is due to the prevailing opinion that the effect of whole cells transplantation is associated not so much with their organ-substituting function as with the humoral and molecular mechanisms responsible for increasing not only the activity of recipient's hepatic cells (hepatocytes), but also their regeneration due to the induction of regulatory peptides production, such as growth factor [10, 11, 12].
Research studies conducted during recent years confirm that the damage and regeneration of hepatocytes by different physical, chemical and biological factors are predominantly caused by immune, oxidant disorders and structural-functional changes in the properties of red blood cells, which, in their turn, are a kind of "cellular dosimeter" of pathogenic endo- and/or exogenous factors action [13, 14, 15]. At the present time many clinical and experimental studies are devoted to the correction of hepatocytes and liver functional abnormalities with the use of cellular technologies, there are a few works on the study of oxidative, immune and erythrocytic disorders and their pharmacological and non-pharmacological correction in various types of liver pathology, but there are practically no researches studying humoral factors in culture liquid of xeno- and allogenic hepatic cells (hepatocytes) [16, 17, 18]. Analyzing the fractions of humoral factors contained in the liquid after xeno- and allografts cultivation in it seems to be a promising direction, since it is them that are the active principles in the repair of liver cells [19,
20, 21, 22].
Aim of the research: to estimate the proteins efficacy in culture liquid of xeno-, allogeneic hepatocytes, and fibroblasts in the correction of metabolic and morphological disorders in acute toxic liver damage.
Materials and Methods
Experimental studies were performed on 175 Wistar rats weighing from 120 to 140 g.
Experiments included rats which underwent the quarantine regimen of Kursk State Medical University vivarium, which had no signs of somatic and infectious diseases. In addition, 65 hepatocytes donors were involved 5-6 days after birth, including 30 Wistar rats and 35 white mice. All the investigations were carried out at the same time of day, from 8 am to 12, subjected to all the principles set out in the Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for experimental and other purposes (Strasbourg, France, 1986) and according to the rules of laboratory practice in the Russian Federation (Directive of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 267 of June 19, 2003).
ATLD in laboratory animals was simulated by intramuscular injection of carbon tetrachloride (CTC) at a dose of 3 ml/kg as 50% solution in olive oil five times with an interval of 24 h (Smakhtin M.Yu. et al., 2003). Xenogeneic (murine) and allergenic hepatocytes (XH, AH) were isolated from animals 5-6 days after birth by M.N. Berry, D.S. Friend method (1969).
To get culture liquid of xenogeneic and allogeneic hepatocytes (CLXH, CLAH), 5x107 cells per 3 ml of medium were cultivated in medium 199 for 6 hours. Following the incubation period termination, the cells were precipitated by centrifugation (15 minutes at 400 g). Protein concentration in culture liquid was determined by the Kjeldahl method. The obtained CLXH and CLAH were administered intraperitoneally five times with the first injection of hepatotrophic poison (with a 24-hour interval) to the rats with ATLD in the amount of 5 m/ kg of protein.
FB were isolated from corpora and extremities fragments of 8-12-week-old human abortus tissues by their mechanical disintegration to microfragments of 0.1-0.2 mm and further cultivation of cells. The resulting culture liquid of FB (CLFB) was introduced intraperitoneally to rats with ATLD in the amount of 5 mg/kg, simultaneously with the first injection of CTC.
To obtain proteins from 50-100 ml of culture liquid, they were precipitated with an equal volume of 10% trichloracetic acid; the resulting precipitate was separated by 20

minutes centrifugation at 1500 g. After supernatant separation, the precipitate was diluted in normal saline and dialyzed with two changes of phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.27.4 for 18 hours.
After the protein concentration had been determined and brought by 0.9% solution of sodium chloride to 5 mg/ml, the obtained solution was filtered through sterilizing membranes of 0.2 p,m, packed in sterile 2 ml vials and lyophilized in a freeze drying plant "VIRTIS".
The obtained proteins of CLXH, CLAH or KLFB were intraperitoneally introduced with the first injection of hepatotrophic toxin five

(MDA) content in the blood plasma and erythrocytes. Antioxidant system state was determined by direct/ competitive solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with the detection of reaction products in the wave-length spectrum of 405-630 using ready-made commercial kits: superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) "Bender Medsystems" (Austria) and catalase "Cayman Chemical" (the USA). Total antioxidative activity (TAA) was determined by a method based on the degree of inhibition of ascorbate- and ferro-induced oxidation of Tween-80 to MDA. The level of stable metabolites of nitric oxide (SMno) was detected using two analytical procedures: endogenous nitrite measurement and nitrate conversion into nitrite using nitrite reductase followed by total nitrite measurement by azo dye absorption in Griess test at wave-length of 540 nm using a kit for solid-phase EIA of "R & D" firm (England). All the results of the enzyme-linked immunoassay were recorded by means of automatic reader for the EIA "Efos 9305" (Russia).
The total number of peripheral blood erythrocytes and their hemoglobin content were calculated according to generally accepted standard methods. To this end, heparinized blood was centrifuged, plasma and erythrocytes were obtained. General sorption capacity of erythrocytes, due to the external architectonics of cell membrane and the sorption capacity of erythrocytes glycocalyx for alcian blue were determined.
Phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was assessed by the following indices: phagocytic index (PI), phagocytic number (PN) and index of phagocytosis activity (IPA). The activity of oxygen-dependent systems of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was evaluated
spectrophotometrically by the reaction of nitro blue tetrazolium reduction (NBT-test) with the use of PD 303 S Apel (Japan) spectrophotometer.
After animals had been removed from the experiment, the liver was taken for morphological study. Pieces of the studied organs were fixed in 10% neutral formalin. We used tissues embedding in paraffin, partly in gelatin; in some cases, non-fixed freshly frozen
slices were prepared in thermostatic cooler. Further on the microtome, paraffin slices of 5-7 p,m were prepared; they were subjected to paraffin removing, followed by staining with hematoxylin and eosin. Cryostat sections were stained with Sudan IV.
Alongside with routine histological methods of investigation, a morphometric research was used to morphologically evaluate the liver tissue condition on histologic sections, allowing to objectively estimate the degree and peculiarities of ongoing processes in hepatic parenchyma and its potential regenerative capabilities.
Statistical processing of the results obtained in the thesis research was conducted using the criteria of variational and statistical analysis with the calculation of mean values (M), arithmetic means error (m). The significance of differences was evaluated according to Mann-Whitney U-test. Differences with p <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results and Discussion
Intoxication with CTC for 5 days results in the development of the following biochemical syndromes of hepatic tissue damage: cytolysis syndrome (an increased activity of AST, ALT, which, in its turn, reduces De Ritis ratio), the syndromes of extrahepatic and intrahepatic cholestasis (increased GGT and APT activity) and toxic hepatocytes damage (an increase in bilirubin concentration, AST, ALT, GGT, APT activity, GGT /AST rate, and De Ritis ratio becomes less than 1), decline in synthetic processes (reduction of PTI and FB) and inflammatory syndrome (an increase in TTT) (Table 2).
The introduction of the culture medium 199, on the basis of which the culture liquid of fibroblasts was obtained, to the animals intoxicated with CTC does not affect the parameters of hepatocytes functional activity altered with the administration of hepatotrophic poison (Table 2).
The use of CLFB under ATLD conditions normalizes the GGT/AST rate, partially corrects the activity of APT, ALT, GGT, AST /ALT rate, GGT /AST rate, bilirubin and fibrinogen concentrations towards the parameters of healthy animals (Table 2).

When evaluating oxidative parameters of the blood plasma in experimental animals with ATLD, without and by the introduction of the culture medium 199, the activation of LPO processes (an increase in MDA and AHP levels), a decrease in antioxidant defense indices (TAA), activity of SOD and Kat) and SMON content (Table 2) have been revealed.
The use of CLFB, in contrast to the indices in the 2nd and 3d groups of animals, completely restores TAA, catalase activity and
corrects, but not to the control level, the concentration of lipid peroxidation products and stable metabolites of nitrogen oxide and SOD activity (Table 2).
Having analyzed the indices of metabolic activity in red blood cells, we found out that the introduction of hepatotoxic poison to experimental animals reduces their total count, hemoglobin content, increases endoglobular processes of lipid peroxidation (an increase in MDA and AHP concentrations), reduces SOD

activity and sorption indexes (SCE and SCG) (Table 2).
The introduction of the culture medium 199 does not affect the parameters of erythrocytes metabolic status, altered by the intake of CTC. The use of CLFB normalizes the total count of erythrocytes, the level of hemoglobin in them, MDA concentration, the total sorption capacity of erythrocytes (SCE), and corrects, but not to the parameters of healthy rats, the activity of SOD, the level of AHP, the sorption capacity of glycocalyx in red blood cells (SCG) (Table 2).
The study of innate immunity factors gave the following results. In rats with ATLD, without or by the introduction of the culture medium 199, an increase in all the studied indices of the functional-metabolic activity of peripheral blood neutrophils was revealed, i.e., oxygen-dependent (an increase in NBT - sp., NBT - ind. n/z, NBT - ind. o/z) and phagocytic activity (an increase of PI, PN and EIA) (Table 2).
The introduction of CLFB normalized the NBT-sp. and corrected NBT - ind. n/z, PI and EIA towards the parameters of healthy animals (Table 2).
During histologic examination of liver tissues of animals intoxicated with carbon tetrachloride, extensive areas of centrolobular, large-drop adipose degeneration of hepatocytes, multiple focal necrosis with inflammatory neutrophilic-lymphocyte infiltration
predominantly, and disturbances in beam structure of lobules were detected.
Microscopically, in animals with ATLD receiving CLFB, there is a disturbance in liver histoarchitecture, leukocyte-lymphocyte
infiltration, and centrolobular large-drop adipose degeneration. In the center of the lobule plethora is observed.
The use of culture liquid of xeno- and allogeneic hepatocytes for metabolic disorders correction in acute toxic hepatopathy. The use of CLXH in animals with CTC poisoning, in comparison with the group of rats with ATLD only, normalizes the activity of GGT and APT, corrects the other hepatotrophic poison-induced parameters, characterizing functional-metabolic activity of hepatocytes, towards the control group of animals (Table 3).
The CLAH is more effective, as in comparison with the CLXH, its use under the conditions of ATLD further normalizes the activity of the AST, GGT/AST and PTI rate, corrects ALT activity, De Ritis ratio and FBG content (Table 3).
The study of oxidant status at the systemic level showed that the use of CLXH normalizes TAA and catalase activity and corrects, but not up to the parameters of healthy animals, the level of LPO products and the activity of SOD (Table 3).
Introduction of CLAH, in comparison with the previous group of animals, additionally normalizes the concentration of AHP, SOD activity, corrects the concentration of SMNO to a greater extent (Table 3).
The study of erythrocytic parameters revealed that the use of CLXH normalized the total number of erythrocytes, the level of hemoglobin in them and corrected the parameters of LPO and the sorption capacity of red blood cells towards the control group, the activity of SOD as well (Table 3).
The use of CLAH in animals under the conditions of CTC poisoning, in addition to the effects of CLXH, normalizes SCG, MDA level and corrects to a greater degree SCE and SOD activity of peripheral blood erythrocytes (Table 3).
Further, it was found that compounds with the corrective effect on the function of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes are extracellular, since the introduction of CLXH to intoxicated recipients normalized cell activity rate KAo and correlated, but not to the control values, the other studied indices of neutrophils FMA (Table 3).
The administration of CLAH, in comparison with the CLXH, additionally normalizes NBT-sp., NBT-ind. o/z and normalizes and corrects to a greater degree the phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes of peripheral blood (Table 3).
The nature of morphological liver changes in animals with ATLD, which received culture liquid of XH is basically similar to the pathological morphology of the liver tissue that occurs in rats with ATLD: large-drop adipose degeneration of hepatocytes in the central parts of lobes, necrotic changes with inflammatory

not to the level of healthy animals, ALT, APT, GGT, SOD, bilirubin and fibrinogen concentrations, indicices of LPO and SMON.
Proteins of CLXH (prior and after lyophilization) turned out to be more effective, since their introduction to animals with ATLD normalized TAA, the activity of alkaline phosphatase, GGT, SOD, catalase, prothrombin index and brought all the other studied parameters of functional-metabolic activity of hepatocytes and oxidant status closer to the normal ones.
The proteins of CLAH appeared to have the greatest efficacy in normalization and correction of metabolic disorders caused by hepatotrophic poisoning. When being used in animals with ATLD, ALT activity, De Ritis
ratio, bilirubin and fibrinogen concentrations, MDA, SMON and thymol turbidity test are corrected in the blood plasma, while all other studied parameters of hepatocyte function and oxidant status are normalized. Statistically significant absence of differences, when introducing CLAH, proteins without and after lyophilization of CLAH to those intoxicated with hepatotrophic poison, ought to be remarked .
The introduction of Essentiale H and hypoxen to the animals with ATLD enabled to normalize PTI and correct, but not up to the standard, the other studied parameters characterizing the functional activity of hepatocytes (Figure).

reflecting the functional activity of hepatocytes (Figure).
The administration of Essentiale H and hypoxen in animals intoxicated with CTC normalized TAA and the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes (SOD and catalase) and corrected the concentrations of MDA and SMon (Figure).
The use of CLAH proteins in CTC-intoxicated animals normalized the level of AHP, the activity of SOD and catalase, TAA, corrected MDA and SMON concentrations (Figure).
Simultaneous introduction of CLAH proteins, Essentiale H and hypoxen to animals with acute toxic liver damage, in comparison with the previous groups of experimental animals, additionally normalizes the concentration of MDA and SMon in blood plasma (Figure).
The administration of pharmacological agents to the animals with ATLD normalizes the hemoglobin content in erythrocytes and brings the activity of SOD and the sorption capacity of cells closer to the normal parameters (Figure).
The introduction of CLAH proteins also normalizes the level of hemoglobin and corrects the other studied parameters of metabolic status in peripheral blood erythrocytes (Figure).
Combined administration of Essentiale N, hypoxen and CLAH proteins, in comparison with the previous groups of experimental animals, normalizes the concentration of MDA, SOD activity, sorption capacity of erythrocytes and their count in the blood, corrects the level of AHP to a greater degree towards the norm (Figure).
The introduction of Essentiale H and hypoxen to CTC intoxicated animals corrects the indices of phagocytic activity (PI, PN, EIA), NBT-ind. o/z and NBT-test of peripheral blood neutrophils and corrects the other studied parameters of oxygen-dependent metabolic activity in peripheral blood neutrophils (Figure).
The use of CLAH both separately and in combination with Essential H and hypoxen resulted in normalization or additional correction of the studied indices of functional
and metabolic activity in peripheral blood neutrophils except for NBT-sp. and NBT-ind. n/z (Figure).
In animals that received Essentiale H and hypoxen under ATLD conditions, histological examination shows focal changes in the liver tissue in the form of large and small-drop adipose degeneration of hepatocytes, single small areas of necrosis with a weak inflammatory reaction.
Morphologically, in animals with ATLD, which received CLAH proteins, Essentiale H and hypoxen, the histoarchitecture of the liver tissue is preserved, the beam structure of the lobules is clear, nuclei are moderately basophilic in hepatocytes, the cytoplasm is oxyphilic, only small foci with granular dystrophy of the hepatocytes occur by places.
During morphological study of the liver tissue in groups of animals with acute toxic liver damage and intoxicated animals that received the proteins of CLFB, CLXH, CLAH, CLAH in combination with essentiale and hypoxen, in addition to generally accepted histological methods of research, to objectively verify and evaluate changes severity and peculiarities occurring in the liver parenchyma, morphometric methods of investigation were performed which were to determine the parameters characterizing the degree and peculiarities of ongoing processes and enabling to evaluate regenerative potential of the liver parenchyma.
In animals with acute toxic liver damage with CTC, in comparison with intact rats, changes in the values of morphometric indices are represented by a significant decrease in PD by 1.4 times, FCM by 2.1 times, NM by 2.2, BCMI by 2 times and an increase in MMI by 2.5 times (Table 4). These changes in indices are characterized by the development of congestive phenomena (plethora, cholestasis) in the liver tissue, an increase in the current (relatively short-term) intensity of hepatocyte functioning, their pronounced degenerative changes in the form of dystrophy and necrosis, an increase in the ongoing intensity of reparative processes (due to "binuclear reserves consumption") and a decrease in the depth of hepatic tissue reparative reserves.

Note. The asterisk marked significant differences of average arithmetical (p <0.05); figures close to the star are in relation to that of a group of these differences.
The introduction of CLFB and CLXH proteins into the animals under the conditions of acute carbon tetrachloride intoxication resulted in a positive dynamics of morphometric indices compared to animals without correction with proteins, however the absolute values of PD, FCM, NM, BCMI and MMI were significantly different from those in intact animals, that indicates the presence of congestive phenomena and degenerative changes in the liver tissue, intensive "binuclear reserves consumption" and a decrease in the depth of reparative reserves.
The administration of CLAH proteins and CLAH proteins in combination with essentiale and hypoxen in acute toxic hepatopathy manifested by insignificant changes in morphometric parameters, whose values did not differ with assurance from the group of intact animals. This bears evidence to high invariance of the histological structure, the absence of morphologically significant alternative changes and disturbances in reparative capabilities of the liver tissue in the animals of these groups.
Conclusion
In ATLD caused by carbon tetrachloride intoxication, the main biochemical syndromes
of the liver cells damage, an increase in the phagocytic and oxygen-dependent activity of peripheral blood neutrophils, oxidative stress development, and the disturbance in erythrocytes metabolic activity have been revealed. In these conditions the use of culture liquid of fibroblasts in the presence of carbon tetrachloride intoxication partially normalizes and corrects metabolic disorders at the systemic and local levels. Administration of culture liquid of allogeneic hepatocytes in case of carbon tetrachloride poisoning normalizes and corrects metabolic disorders at the systemic and local levels more effectively, in comparison with the administration of culture liquid of xenogeneic hepatocytes.
In integral estimation of disturbed parameters amount under various experimental conditions with the determination of these disorders pronouncement by their degree, it was established that the use of pharmacological agents (Essentiale H and hypoxen) and culture liquid of allogeneic hepatocytes enabled to correct and normalize the immune and metabolic status disorders at the systemic level, whereas their concomitant use normalizes the studied indices practically entirely.
