Each of two Desert Sheep was infected with 1500 cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni of Northern Sudan. Signs of infection were anorexia, soft faces, progressive weakness and loss of wool. The sheep were killed 254 and 269 days after infection. The findings were heavy infiltration of the lamina propria with inflammatory cells, numerous ova in the submucosa, hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue, oedema of the mesenteric lymph nodes, and focal pulmonary oedema and congestion. There were egg granulomas, focal necrosis, schistosomal pigment, fatty change, depletion of glycogen and reduction in the activity of adenosine triphosphatase, succinic tetrazolium reductase and glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver. In one sheep 1330 cercariae penetrated and 700 matured to produce males and females in a 5:2 ratio. In the other sheep, about one third of the cercariae penetrated and matured. The ratio of males to females was 3:1.

The investigation has been performed on 44 Wistar rats, some of them at the age of 2 months have been subjected to thymectomy. In 3, 6 and 12 months in the spleen, axillary and popliteal lymph nodes density of cell populations, position of lymphatic nodules have been determined, and in the liver--activity of key enzymes of gluconeogenesis. In the animals with the deficiency of the thymic hormones the most manifested changes are seen in 3 and 12 months: decrease in cell population density in the lymph nodes and in their T-dependent zones, decrease in amount of small lymphocytes, in density of the lymphoid nodules arrangement. The dynamics of processes is also followed at analysis of the key enzymes activity of gluconeogenesis in the liver: glucose-6-phosphatase activity is decreased in 3 months after thymectomy, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxycinase activity--in 12 months. Fructose-1,6-diphosphotase activity is not changed. The thymic hormones deficiency is supposed to disturb the ratio of cyclic nucleotides and in this way participate both in inhibition of the immune function and in decrease of metabolic activity mediated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate.

The glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) reaction of mouse organs was studied as affected by PPi and its diphosphonate analogs. It is shown that in vitro and hydroxy-1-ethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid) inhibit the mentioned enzyme of the mouse spleen and liver. The effect of hydroxyl-1-ethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid was used as an example to show that inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogeanse by diphosphonates belongs to the mixed type characterized by changes in the Km and Vmax values. For the spleen enzyme Km equals 0.064 mM, Vmax - 4.7 Mg of NADPH per 1 mg of protein-1. h-1. Administration of methylene diphosphonic acid causes an inhibition in vivo of the glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenate activity of the liver but not of the spleen and thymus. Basing on the isoenzymic composition of the enzyme for the mentioned organs, it is possible to suppose that the difference in the methylene diphosphonic acid effect in the liver and lymphoid organs may depend on the differences in its isoenzymic spectrum. The fact that in vivo methylene diphosphonic acid in a dose having an immuno-depressive action has no influence on the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase in the lymphoid organs, may evidence for the absence of the indirect immunodepressive effect of diphosphonate by affecting this enzyme.
