THE EFFECT OF ASPIRIN AND TICLOPIDINE ON LIVER FUNCTION TEST IN RATS

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aspirin and ticlopidine, administered alone and in combination, on liver function parameters. The experiment was conducted on white laboratory rats, type Wistar. Thirty-two rats were divided in four groups and they recived one of the following treatments for 4 days: group I, control, saline (1 ml/kg, i.p.); group II, aspirin (50 mg/kg/day i.p.); group III, ticlopidine (125 mg/kg/day i.p.) and group IV, aspirin+ticlopidine combination (50 mg/kg/day+125 mg/kg/day i.p.). After the treatment the animals were anaesthetised with ether and blood for further analyses was taken by cardiopunction. The total cholesterol serum level was significantly increased only in ticlopidine group in comparison to control (p<0.01).Also, the serum activity of alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin concentration were significantly elevated only in ticlopidine treated group (p<0.001). Serum AST and ALT activities were not significantly elevated in all treating groups. On basis of the obtained results it can be noticed that the values of liver function parameters are greater in group treated with ticlopidine than in group treated with ticlopidine and aspirin combination.

THE EFFECTS OF ESOMEPRAZOLE ON ALCOHOL INDUCED STRESS ULCER LESIONS IN RATS

Stress ulcer presents acute lesion of gastric mucosa, which resulted from influence of different stressors: trauma,
shock, burns, drugs administration, various irritants etc. Since pathogenesis of stress ulcer is not completely clarified, the
most adequate therapy for the patients which suffer from it, is not defined yet. Esomeprazole is a S-isomer of omeprazole
and is the first inhibitor of proton pump synthesized as an isomer. Our aim was to test effects of esomeprazole, given during
pretreatment and posttreatment period, on progress of alcohol induced stress ulcer lesions. We had experiments on sexually
mature Wistar rats weight 200-250 g. Alcohol stress was induced by intragastric administration of 1 mL 96% alcohol.
Alcohol stress produced massive submucosal lesions in glandular part of stomach. Macroscopic lesions were verified
histologicaly. Intragastric pretreatment administration of esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) significantly (p<0,001) reduced gastric lesions. Intragastric post-treatment administration of esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) did not reduce gastric lesions. Esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) administrated in pretreatment period of alcohol induced stress significantly decreased dimensions of stress ulcer lesions in rats, while the same dose administrated in posttreatment period did not cause that effect.

ANTIPYRETICAL EFFECT OF PARSLEY EXTRACTS (Petroselinum crispum L.) AT MICE

With this work we intended to examine antipyretical effect of different extracts from the leaf. The following extracts were examined: etherical chloroformic The experiments were conducted on white laboratory mice, type BALB/C. Mice were divided in 5 groups, where each group received the appropriate extract. Rectal temperature was measured by "Termistorowy" termometer. After the temperatures were measured, for each of examined group we defined area under the curve. The area values were later used to determine statistically significant differences between them. Examination results of antipyretic effects of different extracts ( ) from the leaf, i parsley (Et O), (CHCl ), ethyl-acetic (EtOAC), n-bhutanolic (nBuOH), aquae- 2 3 ous (H O). 2 etherical (Et O), chloroformic (CHCl ), ethyl-acetic (EtOAC), n-bhutanolic (nBuOH), aquaeous (H O) parsley 2 3 2 n experiment with mice, show that all the extracts mentioned above, decreased (annuled) pyrogenic effect of 12% yeast suspension.
