Summary: Since it is well known that both zinc ions and bacterial
immunostimulants influence the function of the immuno system, in the
present study we investigated the immunomodulating activity of a new analog
of peptidoglycan monomer (PGM), in which the basic molecule was linked to
zinc (PGM-Zn). Its effects in BALB/c mice, aged 10-12 months, were compared
with the effects of equimolar doses of PGM and ZnCl2. The tretment lasted
26 days (one i.p.injection every fifth day). The results showed that PGM-Zn
may markedly enhance antibody production to sheep red blood cells, as well
as spontaneous and concanavalin A (CoA)-induced blastogenesis. The
generation of plaque-forming cells in individual mouse was positively
correlated with the expression of class II antigens in the liver and
negatively correlated with the total quantity of hepatic proteins. PGM-Zn
also induced the appearance of peritoneal macrophages, which in cocultures
with syngeneic splenocytes were less able to enhance the spontaneous, and
particularly the ConA-induced blastic transformation.

Summary: In this study we estimated the role of the thymus in liver
regeneration following 1/3 partial hepatectomy (pHx) as well as the role of
zinc ions in these processes. The data have shown that fast liver growth is
followed by marked hypoplasia of the thymus and the difference in the
proportion of the T-cell phenotype. Significant increase of zinc
concentration has been found in the liver 24 hours after performed pHx,
while in the thymus, the significant increase has been found 48 hours
after.
These facts indicated that accumulation of zinc in both organs might be
linked to the activation of the growth factors uppon pHx.
Keywords: partial hepatectomy, sham hepatectomy, lymphocyte subpopulations, phenotypisation, thymic cellularity, liver-proteins, liver-nucleic acids.

Summary: During the investigations on determination of zinc content
in the different tissues, analysts are often faced with the problems of
limited sample amount, containing more or less connective and fat residues,
and low zinc concentration which tends to be lost during the mineralisation
procedure. Therefore, sample preparation and instrumental procedures
deserve careful attention. In this paper a new way of tissue disintegration
using the Microwave Digestion System is described. The present findings
show that the acceptable results for less than 0.5 grams of the tissue, are
obtained after analytical determination of zinc concentration by ICP
spectroscopy.
Keywords: ICP Spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, microwave digestion, zinc-standard values, zinc-in the tissues, zinc- in the serum
