Effects of high glucose level on murine placental trophoblast functionality in vitro
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.8-13
TSMU Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Tbilisi State Medical University Institute of Medical Biotechnology, E. Andronikashvili Institute of Physics, Tbilisi, Georgia
SUMMARY
The maternal diabetic environment alters the embryo and the feto-placental development. The results of these alterations are: increased embryo resorption and malformation rates, placental dysfunction. Cellular and molecular events in the uterine environment that lead to successful blastocyst implantation require the endometrium to be ready for being implanted. They include modified functions and populations of leukocytes, cytokine activities, and growth factors. Trophoblast invasion is a temporally and locally restricted process, which regulates implantation and oxygen arrival to the embryo through the dialog with spiral artery endothelium. There are data which suggest that IL-10 and TNF-alpha are crucial cytokines in implantation processes.
We performed in vitro study influence of hyperglycemia on trophoblast functionality and cytokines capacities to modulate proliferation, migration, and invasion of trophoblastic cells in diabetic environment. Summarizing of the experimental results, we can conclude that possibly IL-10 defenses uterus and mediates successful implantation by inhibiting TNF-α.

Detection of Maspin and Mammaglobin Transcripts as Cyrculating Tumor Cell Markers in Peripheral Blood Samples From Patients With Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma OF Different Malignancy Potential and Molecular Phenotype
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.13-21
“Georgian Association of Pathologists XXI”, Tbilisi, Georgia
SUMMARY
The presence of lymph nodes and distant metastases is the most powerful prognostic factor for patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast. Nowadays, there is a growing evidence that the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood samples might serve as one of the important markers of metastatic potential, prognosis and relapse of IDC. Maspin and mammaglobin transcripts in blood are frequently used as reliable markers for CTC. The aim of our study was to evaluate CTC in peripheral blood samples from patients with IDC of different malignancy potential and molecular phenotype, using maspin and mammaglobin transcripts as CTC markers.
Neither maspin nor mammaglobin transcripts were detected in the I and IV group patients. Both maspin and mammaglobin transctipts were detected in one patient from group II and 7 patients from group III. Only mammaglobin transcript was detected in one patient from group II and aslo one patient from group III. The only CTC - positive patient in group II was Her2-/ER/PR- as well as 6 CTC, positive patients from group III. One CTC positive patient from group III was Her2+/ER/PR-. Both mammaglobin positive patiens from II and group III were Her2+/ER/PR-.
In conclusion, CTC is more likely to be detected in patients with Her2-/ER/PR- IDC. This might be useful for evaluation of prognostic and predictive factors in patients with IDC.
This study was supported by the research grant from the Georgia National Science Foundation #GNSF/ST08/6-461.

Research Center for Radiobiology and Radiation Ecology Georgian Academy of Sciences;
Institute for the problems of Biology and Medicine Sukhumi State University, Georgia
Summary
Currently, organic medicatians derived from plant material make up almost one third of the register. Many of them contribute to the synthesis of biogenic amines, improve memory and behavior in animals. It was interesting to study the effect of such composites on different stress factors, in particular, the effect of electromagnetic fields . It is known that communication frequency of EMF causes difficulties and suppresses the production of passive avoidance response in animals. The studied preparation seratonus has a protective effect hindering the development of excitation in rats, Thus helping them to adopt the correct solution to a problem, i.e.particular - to improve the aquired reflex reaction.

Summary
The studies have clearly shown that the degree of malignancy of glial tumors depends on their origin (astrocytic, oligodendroglial and ependymal), as well as on the age and sex of patients. Along with clinical parameters, these morphological data can contribute to the selection of optimal prognosis and treatment for disease.

From the history of public health service in Adjara
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.27-31
Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Georgia
SUMMARY
On August 25, 1878, Russian troops entered the town of Batumi; a military medical-sanitary unit followed the troops: their tents were situated at the territory now occupied by the church of Saint Barbara. Soon it was decided to build a hospital at the same place and the military medical-sanitary unit was transformed into the military hospital #64 - the first medical institution in Adjara.
Ii was decided to organize a public health service canals were built to drain the swamps (for example, so called Jilinsky Canal). In 1887 was built the first civil medical institution for 25 persons.
On October 3, 1902, the first civil hospital in Adjara was established by the decision of the self –governing body of Batumi.
On October 12, 1913, a medical station for malaria treatment (the first one in the Russian Empire) was established in Batumi - medical service was free for the local population. In the same 1913 year the Tropical Institute began functioning with the aim to study scientifically the causes of epidemic diseases. The doctors of Batumi organized a medical society in 1897: its first president was M.Fencer. This society played a great role in the medical life of the entire Adjara. The society of the doctors of Batumi established a library - one of the richest in the Russian Empire.

ENDOTHELIUM IN ACUTE PULPITIS AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF PARODONTITIS
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.31-34
Tbilisi State Medical University, Georgia
SUMMARY
The endothelium has been studied with the help of light and electron microscopy. Ten patients and three healthy persons were investigated. Both pulpitis and parodontitis destroy the epithelium, homeostatic regulation is destroyed as well. Vessel tonus in cappilaries is also changed; transcappilary permeability is weakened; the agregation of formed elements and adhesia intensify. Endothelial distruction during pulpitis against the background of parodontitis denote a heavy complication of the disease. Thus, endothelial destruction predicts lots of complicated diseases.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.34-38
Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Georgia
Summary
According to the results of the conducted anatomic research the authors have come to the conclusion that in cases when the left branch of the hepatic artery did not divide in the portal area (3,7%) and the additional left artery of liver was revealed as the only source for supplying the left part with arterial blood (2,5%), the only one artery existed in the distal part of the left portal complex.
In the distal part of the left portal complex, in 81.2% of cases two arteries were revealed (arteries of II and III segments), in 11.3% - three arteries (trifurcation type division of either the left branch of the hepatic artery or of the left additional artery), whereas in 1.3% - four arteries were found (trifurcation type division of the hepatic artery’s left branch and the left additional artery). In this part of the right portal complex, in 87.5% of cases the lobe vein is accompanied by the right branch of the hepatic artery, in 2.5% by the - right paramedial and lateral arteries, in 1.3% - by the right sector and bladder arteries. In the rest 8.75% there were right additional and IV segment arteries, out of which in 7.5% the IV segment artery was coming from the right branch of the hepatic artery. The middle part of the right portal complex in 37.5% contained only the right lobe branch of the portal vein, while in 62.5% there were two sector veins in this area.

INFLUENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD AND VEGETABLE PREPARATION “SERATONUS” ON ACTIVE AVOIDANCE REACTION
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.40-44
Research Center for Radiobiology and Radiation Ecology Georgian Academy of Sciences;
Institute for the problems of Biology and Medicine Sukhumi State University, Georgia
SUMMARY
Electromagnetic field of communication frequency evolles in rats a strong emotional reaction of fear in response to the electric irritation. Chaotic movements and emotional activity of the experimental rats caused by fear prevent them from forming a stable response to th light-induced irritation in the nerve structures and between the complex of nerve structures, responsible for the avoidance reaction to a painful irritation. conditional reaction deliverance from ailing irritation. Feeding with the aminoacidic preparation “Seratonus” removes this reaction of fear, decreases pain and intensifies attention, positively influences animals behaviour in the process of acquiring the reflex avoidance reaction.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2011, 1, pp.44-47
TSMU Institute of Medical Biotechnology; Tbilisi State Medical University, Georgia
SUMMARY
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that continues to present as a major health problem worldwide. Many studies suggest a central role for oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of this multi-faceted metabolic disorder. This has prompted to investigate antioxidants as a complementary therapeutic approach. Tagetes patula L. is one of the French marigold group of the Asteraceae family. It is recognized in folklore for its medicinal and pesticidal properties. Marigold flowers produce lutein ester and patuletin, which have antioxidant activity. We performed a diabetes study in mice exposed to streptozotocin and antioxidant, marigold extract. Summarizing of the experimental results obtained in mice treated with STZ, we can conclude that an antioxidant, marigold extract reduces blood glucose level and increases lifetime, therefore it can be used as a complementary therapeutic agent.
