RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the level of ROS production by blood leukocytes of rats with PCOS under the conditions of intermittent cold exposure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: In the study, 40 immature female rats of the WAG population at the age of 27 days with a body weight of 80-90 g were used. Five groups were formed (8 animals in each group). Group 1 was represented by intact rats that were not subjected to any manipulations. Group 2 was represented by rats that were injected subcutaneously with 0.2 ml of purified and sterilized olive oil daily for 25 days. Group 3 was represented by rats that were exposed to intermittent cold for 25 days. Group 4 was represented by rats that were modeled with PCOS. Group 5 was represented by rats, which were simulated PCOS against the background of intermittent cold exposure. ROS production was estimated in leukocytes isolated from rats of all groups by flow cytometry using the fluorescent probe of 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA). RESULTS: Results: The experimental study revealed an intracellular excessive production of ROS by leukocytes in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome. The use of inter¬mittent cold exposure normalized the production of reactive oxygen species by leukocytes in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The effectiveness of intermittent cold exposure, proven by the authors, allows recommending its use as one of the methods of prevention and treatment of the polycystic ovary syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To describe an integrated approach to the morphological diagnosis of different types of pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary gland. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Surgical and biopsy material from 30 patients with pleomorphic adenomas of epithelial, mixed and mesenchymal variants was studied using histological, immunohistochemical, genetic, morphometric and statistical methods. RESULTS: Results: The results of research allowed us to identify methods for determination the pleomorphic adenomas types. The first method requires an immunohistochemical reaction with a monoclonal antibody to human papillomavirus type 16, followed by counting the percentage of positively stained cells in the tumor. Thus, the mesenchymal variant of the tumor is diagnosed when the percentage of positively stained cells is < 40%. In the mixed variant, this indicator is ≥ 40%, but ≤ 70%, and in epithelial variant - > 70%. The second method was based on the multivariate discriminant analysis. Three formulae were derived to determine the tumor types (Fmesenchymal = - 41.03 + 4.96Ð¥1 + 1.11Ð¥2, Fepithelial = - 22.27 + 3.46Ð¥1 + 0.85Ð¥2, Fmixed = - 122.25 + 5.63Ð¥1 + 3.2Ð¥2, here Ð¥1 - number of vessels, Ð¥2 - specific volume of parenchyma). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The authors identified several methods for determining the histological variants of pleomorphic adenomas. These methods will improve the morphological diagnosis of pleomorphic adenomas variants in the preoperative and postoperative periods.
