The extent and dynamics of changes by short (1 min) or prolonged (6 min) tourniquet application while obtaining venous blood samples were analysed with respect ot 33 frequently measured constituents of blood and serum. After 6-minute tourniquet application the values for red cells, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total protein, albumen, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinekinase, bilirubin, cholesterol, total glycerol and calcium increased by an average of 4-9%. One-minute tourniquet application did not have a significant effect. Levels of sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, creatinine, uric acid, ratio of electrophoretic fractions and the MCV, MCH and MCHC indices were not affected even by 6-minute tourniquet applications. The introduction of blood sampling under standardised conditions is proposed.

Roe-deer (Capreolus capreolus L. -- five animals) and fallow deer (Dama dama L. -- eleven animals) of both sexes and at different age were subject to blood examination. The deer were killed in several preserves in Bohemia during autumn and winter shootings in two years. The following blood values were determined: erythrocyte count, leucocyte count, hemoglobin content, hematocrit values, MCV, MCH, MCHC, white blood picture, total protein, its fractions (albumin, alpha-, beta-, and gamma-globulin) SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase activities, and calcium, phoshporus, and magnesium levels. Examinations were performed in the blood collected from heart soon after the killing of the animals and the results were evaluated in relation to natural polyvalent invasions by parasites of the following species: Bicaulus sagittatus, Dictyocaulus viviparus, Paramphistomum sp., Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia circumcincta, O. ostertagi, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Bunostomum trigonocephalum, Nematodirus filicollis, Chabertia ovina, Oesophagostomum columbianum, Trichocephalus ovis, Eimeria auburnensis, E. faurei, and E. ninaekohlyakimovae, occurring in different intensities and species composition in individual animals of the deer tested.

In six animals hunted and four immobilized animals of red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) of both sexes and of different age, kept at three game preserves in Bohemia, the psychological values were ascertained: the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes, the hemoglobin content, the hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, the white blood count, the total serum protein, the fractions: albumin, alpha-, beta- and gamma-globulin, the activity of SGOT, and SGPT, the alkaline phosphatase and the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in the blood serum. The blood from the heart shortly after killing of the animal was examined, and in immobilized animals the blood was taken from the vena jugularis. In the red deer, a variable intensity of the polyvalent infection of parasites of the species Dictyocaulus viviparus, Bicalulus sagittatus, Fascioloides magna, Paramphistomum spec., Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia ostertagi, O. circumcincta, Trichostrongylus axei, Nematodirus filicollis, Chabertia ovina, and Trichocephalus globulosa was found. In the immobilized deer no marked deviations were found in the examined values of blood that had been taken within 10 minutes after the calming of the animals.

A subacute toxicity study of pentavalent antimony (Sb) compounds, sodium stibogluconate (SSG) and meglumine antimoniate (MA) was carried out in rats. Three groups of 10 rats each were treated with saline (control group), 300 mg Sb kg-1 d-1 or 900 mg Sb kg-1 d-1 of SSG for 30 d. A parallel study of similar type was conducted for MA. Compared with controls, drug-treated rats showed an impairment of feeding habits and retardation of weight gain (P less than 0.01) during the treatment period. In both SSG- and MA-treated rats there was a dose-related reduction in haemoglobin concentration (P less than 0.001), and hematocrit (P less than 0.001). Red cell count was reduced in SSG-treated rats only. Both drugs, however, significantly raised the white cell count (P less than 0.05). These changes were more pronounced with SSG them with MA. There was no change in MCV, MCH and MCHC. SSG, 900 mg Sb kg-1 d-1, significantly raised AST (P less than 0.005), ALT (P less than 0.01) and alkaline phosphatase activity (P less than 0.01). SSG-treated rats also had raised BUN (P less than 0.01) and creatinine (P less than 0.001), but no significant change in bilirubin levels. MA significantly raised AST (P less than 0.01), ALT (P less than 0.01), BUN (P less than 0.001) and serum creatinine levels (P less than 0.001), but had no appreciable effect on bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels. Both SSG and MA decreased blood glucose levels (P less than 0.01) and induced proteinuria.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effects of acute and chronic administration of a slow-release preparation of pinacidil have been studied in eight normotensive volunteers aged 40-57 years. Continuous administration of 20 mg b.i.d. pinacidil had no effect on serum pinacidil concentrations measured as AUC (0-9 h), but accumulation of the principal metabolite, pinacidil pyridine-N-oxide was found to occur. There were no significant changes in erect and supine blood pressure and heart rate from the pretreatment levels on days 1,15 or 29. Chronic administration of pinacidil caused a significant increase in weight over the total period of study. There were also significant changes in mean sodium (+2.38 mmol/l) and alkaline phosphatase (+15.75 iU/l) from the start to the end of pinacidil therapy but values were within the normal ranges, except for one alkaline phosphatase. There were significant changes in the following haematological parameters over the period of pinacidil therapy; leukocytes (-1.49 x 10(9)/l), haemoglobin (-0.56 g/dl), MCH (-1.1 pg), MCHC (-1.22 g/dl), platelet MCV (-0.90 fl).

d.d-T80-prallethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide for sanitary use, was administered to Crj : CD (Sprague Dawley) rats at concentrations of 120, 600 or 3,000 ppm in diet for one year to assess the chronic toxicity potential and the reversibility. The summarized results obtained are as follows: 1. Chronic toxicity study 3,000 ppm : Decreases in body weight gain, food consumption, and water intake were observed. Slight alopecia in the neck and/or back was noticed during the first and second weeks, but the animals were recovered thereafter. Slight anemic changes such as decreases in hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value, MCV and MCH were observed in the females at 52 week. Blood biochemistry revealed increases in total cholesterol (in the males and females at 13, 26 and 52 weeks), phospholipid (in the males and females at 13, 26 and 52 weeks), albumin (in the males at 13 and 26 weeks, in the females at 52 week), total protein (in the males at 26 week, in the females at 52 week), A/G ratio (in the males at 13 week, in the females at 26 week), creatinine (in the males at 52 week), urea nitrogen (in the females at 52 week), GOT (in the males and females at 52 week) and GPT (in the males and females at 52 week), and decreases in triglyceride (in the females at 26 and 52 weeks) and alkaline phosphatase (in the males at 13 and 52 weeks). In urinalysis, an increase in bilirubin was observed in the males at 52 week. Gross-pathology revealed a lower incidence of accentuated lobular pattern of liver (in the males at 26 week) and a higher incidence of enlarged liver (in the males at 52 week). In organ weight, increases in liver (in the males and females at 26 and 52 weeks), kidney (in the males at 26 and 52 weeks) and thyroid weights (in the males at 26 and 52 weeks, in the females at 26 week), and decreases in spleen (in the females at 26 and 52 weeks) and adrenal weights (in the females at 52 week) were observed. Histopathological examination revealed a lower incidence of fatty metamorphosis in the liver of females at 52 week. 600 ppm: An increase in liver weight was observed in the males at 26 week. 120 ppm: No effect was observed. 2. Reversibility study Almost all the above chronic toxicities were reversible.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Inspite of its non-inclusion in the prescribed list of food colors, orange II is extensively employed to color a variety of foodstuffs. Oral LD50 value of orange II in both male and female rats was calculated to be more than 10.56 g/kg body weight. In short-term studies, animals were exposed to diets containing 0.0 (control), 0.1, 0.5 or 3.0% (w/w) of orange II, daily for 90 days. Hematological examination revealed a slight decrease in erythrocyte count and hemoglobin content, whereas leucocyte count, PCV, ESR, MCV, MCH and MCHC showed normal values. There was no change in the activities of LDH, GOT, GPT, alkaline/acid phosphatases and bioconstituents, lactic acid, cholesterol and protein in serum as well as in liver, indicating normal functioning of the liver. Histopathological examination of various body organs such as liver, heart, lung, kidney, testes, adrenal, stomach, large and small intestine presented normal appearance. Animals receiving 3.0% orange II showed marked splenomegaly and deposition of Perl's positive iron pigments. Testicular LDH, hyaluronidase and lactic acid did not reveal any deviation from controls, suggesting normal spermatogenic process. No changes in testicular cholesterol, fructose content of coagulating glands and dorso-lateral prostate, and activities of alkaline phosphatase in seminal vesicle and acid phosphatase in ventral prostate support normal androgenic status.

The effects of the sublethal concentration (0.012%) of Congo Red on Heteropneustes fossilis were studied after 30 days exposure. The RBC count haemoglobin (Hb)% and PCV decreased significantly. The total WBC count, MCV, MCH, and MCHC showed a significant increase. Serum calcium, serum cholesterol and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were significantly elevated, whereas serum phosphorus was significantly reduced. The activities of serum alkaline phosphatase (AlPase), acid phosphatase (AcPase). RNase, GOT, GPT and amylase were also significantly elevated. The possible reasons for these changes are discussed.

In a comparative study, the differences between the values measured for 26 blood and serum components in both winter and summer were determined in 78 healthy subjects. Comparable conditions during the preparation of test persons, sampling, processing of specimens, and measurement were strictly observed. The term "season" is defined more precisely by meterological data. In the summer season, significantly higher values were found for leukocytes (9%), lactate dehydrogenase and MCHC (7% each), creatinine (7%, in women only), and MCH (1%) whereas significantly lower values were exhibited by aspartate aminotransferase (18%), alanine aminotransferase (14%), alkaline phosphatase (11%), glucose and packed cell volume (7% each), MCV (6%), total protein (2%), erythrocytes, albumin, sodium and chloride (1% each). These partly considerable alterations should be taken into account in the establishment of reference values and evaluation of laboratory findings (above all, when intraindividual comparison is involved). There were no significant alterations of the following parameters: hemoglobin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, urea, uric acid, creatinine (men only), bilirubin, cholesterol, total glycerol, potassium, calcium, and inorganic phosphate. In another series of experiments involving 32 test persons, the influence of different ambient temperatures during blood sampling on the above mentioned blood components was studied. Within the 18-30 degrees C range, no significant alterations were detected.

Although gum kondagogu (Cochlospermum gossypium) is grouped under gum karaya (Sterculia sp.), it differs significantly in terms of physicochemical properties and chemical composition and does not conform to the confirmatory tests prescribed for gum karaya ([Janaki]). Gum karaya has wide applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, whereas the use of gum kondagogu is yet to be explored. In this context, a short-term toxicity study on gum kondagogu was undertaken in rats. The gum was fed to rats at 0, 0.2%, 1% and 5% (w/w) in feed, for 90 days. Biochemical parameters were measured to assess the toxicity at the end of the study period. The results indicated no significant changes in growth pattern, haematological indices (RBC, WBC, Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, differential leucocyte counts), biochemical analytes (glucose, urea nitrogen, total protein, albumin, bilirubin, creatinine, sodium and potassium ions), activities of plasma and liver enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, alanine amino-transaminase, aspartate aminotransaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, glutathione S-transferase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidases and organ to body mass ratio (brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen). Histopathology of the liver and kidney also did not reveal any abnormality. An increased faecal bulk was observed in rats fed with 5% gum kondagogu. However, faecal moisture content of female rats only was significantly different (P=<0.05) as compared to controls. Thus, it can be inferred, based on the present investigations, that gum kondagogu has a potential application as a food additive, similar to gum karaya. Feeding it at a much higher level (5%) than expected for consumption as a food additive also did not result in any toxic effect. Being non-toxic, gum kondagogu has a potential as a food additive with excellent physicochemical properties and a unique chemical composition.
