One of the urgent problems of environmental
pollution are pesticides, especially chlorine-and phosphororganic. Pesticides -
chemicals used to control various pests. Organophosphate pesticides esters are:
phosphoric acid – dimetildihlorvinilfosfat, thiophosphoric - metaphos,
metilnitrofos; dithiophosphoric - karbofos; phosphonic - trichlorfon. The
advantage of organophosphorus pesticides is their relatively low chemical and biological
stability. Most of them can be expanded in plants, soil, water, within one
month, but some insecticides and acaricides systemic action (seyfos, etc.) may
persist for years. Some chemicals can act on the pests only by direct contact
(contact pesticides). Systemic pesticides can move through the vascular system
of plants and in some cases, the vascular system of the animal. In surface
waters, pesticides may be dissolved, suspended and sorbed states. Pesticides
can enter the body through damaged and through intact skin, and some of them are
soluble in fats. There are a number of conducive conditions to the
manifestation of toxic effects of pesticides, so they are better absorbed
through the skin when it is hyperthermed and sweated, to this contributes to
high air temperature of working area, solar radiation, increased physical
activity and other factors. Also, pesticides can be ingested through the
gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. Numerous literature data indicates a
versatile impact of pesticides on the human body: the immune system suppressing, it leads to a decreasing in the
body's defenses, there is an acute swelling of the cells of the cerebral cortex
of the brain with marked chromatolysis suffer
from digestive organs, particularly in the liver arise deep dystrophic, and
sometimes necrotic changes, leading to cirrohosis, disturbed cardiovascular
activity. Poisoning by the nature of flow can be
divided into acute and chronic. The first period hidden, or latent, which lasts
from the moment of getting the poison before the first signs of poisoning, the
second period precursors to the general non-specific phenomena, the third - the
toxic effect, with severe clinical disorders, the fourth - the restoration, the
fifth - the following effects or complications. Symptoms of acute poisoning
appear suddenly, within it can be easy, medium, heavy. With long-term re-entry
into the body of small amounts of venom poisoning develops within a few months
or years of chronic poisoning. At the same time picking up clear signs of
chronic nonspecific diseases of internal organs, allergic conditions, immune
depression. When you receive the body of poisons should distinguish between
several forms of their interactions and effects on the body: the combined
effect of simultaneous action on the body of two or more compounds and a
combined effect - the influence of different nature of environmental factors,
such as poison and high temperature. Group of phosphororganic pesticides
includes compounds differ significantly in chemical structure. Common to them
is the presence of chlorine molecules, which determines the general character
of the action on the human and warm-blooded animals, but there may be
significant differences in toxicity and in the manifestation of intoxication.
Organochlorine compounds have a pronounced cumulative properties, can cause
acute and chronic intoxications, affecting various organs and systems, but
mainly the nervous system, liver, kidneys, cardiovascular system, blood.
Unexplored is the question of the influence of exercise on the nature of
pesticide poisoning. Single study on evaluation of maximum allowable
concentrations, lethal doses, and others in relation to pesticides are made
without taking into account the role of physical activity at the time of
impact. At the same time, the available toxicological data constants have some
connection with the nature and intensity of physical activity, and the
correlative relationship. It is known that physical exercises reduce the adverse environmental effects and direct
effects dose of physical activity, built on the principle "of the combined
effect of" active rest, extends the compensatory-adaptive possibilities of
the body. In the experiment we have used 50 white rats "Wistar" line
average weight of 200-250 gr at the age of 5 months. As a highly toxic
substance used organophosphorus insectoacaricide fostran. The control group
consisted of 15 white rats "Wistar" line. Registration of motor
activity in animals was performed by applying a horizontal treadmill modified
by us in relation to the experimental conditions. The design of the apparatus
based on the principle of "running track". Experimental animals ran
for 30 days daily on a treadmill for 10 minutes. In the next 20 minute intervals,
total time of experiment daily was 4:00 hours, the net time spent on the
treadmill - 80 minutes. There was three speed options: 10m/min.; 20m/min.;
30m/min. That was 800, 1600, 2400 meters per day, respectively, and accordingly
the minimum, average and maximum level of physical activity. Control animals
not exposed to these functional loads. Introduction of fostran led to disruption of blood circulation, microvascular
hyperemia, perivascular edema. Degenerative changes of cardiomyocytes were
characterized by outbreaks of contract degeneration and dissociation of muscle
fibers due to edema perimysial spaces. Minimal exercises did not change
morphological pattern, which did not differ from the previous series, also
revealed a moderately pronounced edema stromal elements, contract cardiomyocytes
changes also were small focal character. Increased intensity of physical
activity exacerbated the hemodynamic abnormalities: erythrocyte aggregation
appeared in the veins (sludge syndrome) and arterioles. At this level of
physical activity there was a statistically significant (P <0,001) reduction
in the total RNA content by 31,7%. Strengthening perivascular edema led to
swelling and uncoupling of myofibrils. Maximal exercise was accompanied by the
growth of destructive changes in the myocardium: there were pockets of lysis of
cardiomyocytes, more extensive than in previous series, hemorrhage,
interstitial edema grew with moderate lymphocytic infiltration. In the veins
and arterioles there were microvasculature met homogenized mass, reminiscent of
hyaline thrombosis. By the end of the period of observation indicated the
formation of fine-stapled scars on the type of substitution vicarious sclerosis
in the place of the dead muscle fibers. Foci of granular decay were sporadic
and small, located deep in the heart's right ventricle. Dystrophic changes were
expressed in the thickening of the myofibrils in the overshrinking areas of
convergence intercalated disk, the extinction cross, and later longitudinal
orientation of muscle fibers. In sections of muscle fibers subjected to lysis, the
cytoplasm sometimes took the form of optical cavities, the nuclei in these
areas were picnotic, hyperchromic. Sometimes nuclear dust was revealed. In foci
of granular decay paths of fibers were not determined, necrotic foci were
presented with tissue detritus from the rubble of the nuclei in the form
hromofilnyh substances. Contract myocardial injury analysis in cells of the
left ventricle (LV) parenchyma, interventricular septum (MP) and right
ventricular (RV) with minimal exertion on the background of the seed fortran
showed growth centers contract damage in all investigated sections, but the
most revealing and statistically significant (P <0,01) in the thickness of
LV, where relative to baseline total content of foci of contractions increased
by 43,6%. With respect to the control group contract damage were
multidirectional and statistically significant by the nature. Joining the
average physical activity was characterized by substantial and statistically
significant relative to baseline contract damage increasing in all the studied
sections, with the greatest severity in the right heart, where their number
increased by 121.3%. Respect to the group with a net amount of seed preparation
contract damage significantly increased in both LV wall and in the wall of RV
with the greatest severity in the right heart, where their total number was
increased to 58.03%. At maximum exertion of contract damage was significantly
(P <0,001) increased, both in relation to the initial level, and to the
control group, but the most significant increase in the number of contractions
observed in the wall of the right ventricle with an increase in their number to
158.8% by relative to baseline and 84.4% compared to the control group. Electron
microscopic study in the fostran seed been identifying the heterogeneity of
contractile myocardium to the presence of dark and light areas in the muscle
fibers. Myofibrils were in a state of moderate contraction, their structure has
been preserved only in some areas are identified pockets of homogenization
miofilaments. Most mitochondrial outer membrane is evident only in some areas.
Matrix of mitochondria was increased by its electron density, also there have
been observed foci of homogenization and severe crist fragmentation. Against
this background, there were mitochondrias, contained a significant amount of
unchanged crists. Joining the minimal physical activity did not exert
significant changes in the ultrastructural organization of cardiomyocytes. Physical
load average led to disorientation of muscle fibers, disruption of their
parallel arrangement and increase the distance between them, something where
you can see parts of the integrity of myofibrils in the z drive. Mitochondrias
appeared swollen, had a rounded shape and enlightened matrix, crists in them,
as a rule, were disoriented, and in some mitochondrias observed their breaks,
but the outer mitochondrial membrane is almost always retained. The maximum
level of physical activity was characterized disintegration of myofibrils in
muscle fibers, accompanied by a lossing of sharpness of z drive contours.
Individual muscle fibers looked broken. From the mitochondrias there were
observed more and more increasing degenerative changes in the form of an abrupt
swelling of organelles, which had a light matrix, many mitochondrial crists
were destroyed and a large number of mitochondria observed violation of the
integrity of the outer membrane. In the quantitative analysis of heart
electronograms during fostran priming, as well as different levels of physical
activity on the background of the seed fostran, it may be noted that changes in
the number of mitochondrias in a single electron diffraction pattern had a
tendency to change, the most pronounced at the average and maximum load levels,
where their number decreased by 33,6% and 44,8% respectively. When analyzing
the number of crists in a mitochondrion marked by a similar pattern of change,
the greatest severity of which was observed for the average and minimum load
levels, where their quantitative content decreased by 35% and 36.3%
respectively. Number of crists in one electronogram substantially and
significantly (P <0,01) has been declining for clean fostran seed, accession
of exercise increased the number of destroyed crists most pronounced at the
highest levels of activity, where their number decreased significantly in
relation to a series of clean seed drug at 60.67%. The average area of one
mitochondrion undergoes substantial and statistically significant changes, both
in relation to the control group in all series of the experiment and
progressively at the maximum level, where in relation to the initial level of
one area of mitochondria was increased by 100%, relative to the control group
by 60% . Changes in the average area of mitochondria in one electronogram clean
fostran seed the average and maximum load levels were small and not
statistically significant, while, as a minimum load level statistically
significant, both in relation to baseline and relative to the control group
increase in the average area of mitochondria (P <0,001). The coefficient of
energy efficiency of mitochondria (KEEM), which expressed as a percentage ratio
of the product of the average total number of crists of mitochondria in the amount
of space in one electronogram pathology to the same parameters of the normal
heart, when the fostran seed decreased by 39%. Joining the minimal, average and
maximum physical exercise led to a progressive decrease (KEEM), which amounted
to 69,3%, 49,2%, 43,4%, respectively. Morphological picture of the heart in
fostran administration characterized by violation of blood circulation and
growing degenerative changes of cardiomyocytes. Electron microscopic study
revealed the heterogeneity of the contractile myocardium, the presence of
bypass the outer membrane of mitochondrias with areas of homogenisation of the
matrix, fragmentation of crists, indicating a partial necrosis of the
mitochondria. Contact degeneration was observed in almost all departments, but
most pronounced was in the right department, where quantitatively increased by
158.8% compared with baseline. Thus, on the factual material found protective
effect of minimal exercise.
