Published: February 2025

Sarcocystoses (sarcosporidioses, sarcocystoses) are invasive diseases caused by protozoa — coccidia of the genus Sarcocystis, the family Sarcocystidae. The main damage the disease causes livestock. Being localized in the muscles and heart of intermediate hosts (cattle and small cattle, pigs) cause exhaustion, anemia, decreased productivity and even death. In 1843, the German scientist Miescher first described characteristic intramuscular formations in the skeletal muscles of a domestic mouse, believing that these were clusters of parasites of unknown nature. Subsequently, similar formations in the muscles of other animals began to be described under different names: “Misher's bags”, “Rhine bodies”, “psorospermia” (ie scabies sperm). It was only in 1882 that Lankester began to call them meat cysts, or sarcocists, and proposed for their designation the corresponding generic name — Sarcocystis. A change in the level of iron, zinc, total and ionizing calcium in pig blood was observed during the clinical symptoms of sarcosporidiosis, when the disease is transmitted to the muscle. The article analyzes the changes in minerals and the activity of enzymes in the blood.

Dairy cows are often diagnosed with metabolic disorders during the transit period, which, in turn, are the cause of secondary diseases. Violation of animal metabolism indicates complications of adaptation to conditions of keeping and feeding and whole imbalance of homeostasis of the organism. Ketosis, osteodystrophy, acidosis, alkalosis, rennet displacement, which occur mainly in the form of polymorbid pathology are the most common diseases of cows in the transit period. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of Vitazal and Cyanophor drugs, including a number of general and special research methods: analysis of cow feeding, conditions of keeping, determination of the causes of the disease, as well as clinical and laboratory parameters. In order to restore the disturbed metabolism of cows before and after calving against the background of correction of rations in terms of nutrients and exchangeable energy, it was expedient to use complex veterinary drugs, the active substances of which are butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin. Vitazal and Cyanofor are Ukrainian drugs that have a positive effect on metabolism and stimulate the immune status of cows and contain such active substances which are recommended for use in complex therapy. According to the results of the study, the use of these drugs on the background of diet correction and the use of the DairySafe feed supplement (Germany, JOSERA) as well as the Forvit, which contains a solution of vitamins A, D, E and F improved clinical indicators, increased the general tone of the body, normalized morphological and biochemical indicators of blood, especially the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes, total protein, phosphorus-calcium ratio, alkaline reserve, transaminase activity, reduced the content of ketone bodies. It was found that the use of the studied drugs reduced the manifestations of intoxication and restored the physiological state of cows. The introduction of Vitazal and Cyanophor drugs into clinical veterinary practice will expand the list of drugs of this group, which will enable veterinarians to use them as part of complex therapy and prevention of metabolic disorders in cows.

Authors: Liu Hui , Li Zhuomin , Shao Qing , Ning Yanli , Guo Qingjun
Published: February 2025

The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model plays a crucial role in predicting adverse drug reactions by simulating the processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion under specific in vivo conditions. Recent advances in PBPK modelling have demonstrated its effectiveness in predicting various types of toxicities, including nephrotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, by translating complex pharmacokinetic behaviours into simplified mathematical expressions solvable by computers. These models provide critical insights into drug safety, allowing for early clinical warnings of potential adverse reactions. However, challenges remain, such as the need for more accurate physiological data and improved model validation methods. Future research should focus on refining these models and expanding their application to a broader range of drug toxicities to enhance clinical drug safety predictions.

R and MS spectra. The inhibitory activity against HepG2 cells was evaluated through the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50, µM).

Results: Twelve fluorinated chalcones (1a-1c, 2a-2c, 3a-3c, 4a-4c) were successfully synthesized in 33-49% yields. Compounds 3a, 3b, 3c and 4c are novel fluoro-containing chalcones. Except for compounds 1a-1c, fluorinated chalconoids exhibited cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cells with IC50 values in the range 67.51-108.20 µM. Chalconoid 2a showed a highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 67.51±2.26 µM.

Conclusions: The grinding of reagents together prior to adding solid NaOH resulted in desired products. The clay-catalyzed microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent is effective to prepare hydroxy chalcones. Among synthesized structures by eco-friendly approaches, four fluorinated chalcones 3a-3c and 4c are novel compounds.

The Ray River is an important river system in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam, supplying water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes, thereby facilitating the province's economic development. The research was executed in 2024 across 9 watersheds, comprising 5 sites on the Ray River and 4 sites on the Ray River reservoir, throughout both the rainy and dry seasons. The findings documented 111 species of zooplankton, categorized into 50 genera, 13 orders, and 5 primary groups: Protozoa, Rotatoria, Cladocera, Copepoda, and Ostracoda. The research noted variations in zooplankton communities throughout the two seasons, suggesting saline intrusion at specific locations along the Ray River during the dry season. The Shannon-Wiener biodiversity score varied between 1.95 and 3.43, whereas the Pielou Evenness index consistently exceeded 0.8. The biological indicators of zooplankton communities indicate that most aquatic systems exhibited generally clean water quality, with only two locations demonstrating moderate pollution levels (α-mesosaprobe) during the dry season. The findings indicate that the aquatic environment in the Ray River system, encompassing both the river and reservoir, satisfies the water supply criteria for supplying domestic water and irrigation water in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province. The study suggests utilizing zooplankton as an indicator for precise water quality scenarios, owing to their sensitivity to environmental fluctuations and brief life cycles. This would also offer a cost-effective approach for environmental monitoring and management of the river system.

Authors: Tálas Péter
Published: February 2025

Miként azt már többen jelezték a jelen összeállításunkban, Oroszország 2022. február 24-i, Ukrajna ellen megindított inváziója alapjában változtatta meg Európa biztonsági környezetét, ezen belül is elsősorban a kelet-közép-európai országok biztonságát. Hasonlóan a legtöbb európai országhoz, előzetesen Csehország sem számított hosszú háborúra az eszkalálódó orosz–ukrán fegyveres konfliktus kapcsán, azonban a cseh kormányzó politikai elit az elsők között lépett elő Ukrajna egyik fontos európai támogatójává. Lengyelország után Csehország fogadta be a legtöbb ukrajnai menekültet térségünkben, GDP-arányosan a 11. legnagyobb támogatója lett Kijevnek (ha a menekültekre fordított forrásokat is hozzászámoljuk: az 5.), továbbá már a 2022. februári eszkalációt megelőzően katonai támogatást nyújtott Kijevnek, illetve 2024-benegyik kezdeményezője volt az Ukrajnának szánt lőszerek közös európai beszerzésének. Tanulmányunk azt mutatja be, miként hatott az orosz–ukrán háború 2022-eseszkalációja a cseh társadalom és a cseh politika ukránokhoz és Ukrajnához, illetve az őket megtámadó Oroszországhoz fűződő viszonyára, valamint hogy milyen lépéseket váltott ki a háború Csehországból.
