Purpose: The document outlines the preferred methods for collecting blood from laboratory animals and blood collection volume and frequency limits. Blood collection for experimental purposes must comply with researchers of the Drug research institute (DRI) approved protocol, including approved collection techniques, volumes, and frequencies. The Department of Pharmacology researchers train investigators in various collection techniques. The researcher may collect blood for veterinary care purposes using accepted clinical techniques ensuring volumes collected do not adversely affect animal health.
Blood Collection Limits: The DRI limits one time survival blood collection to 7.5% of an animal’s blood volume in most circumstances. Serial blood sampling limit vary by species, strain and frequency of blood collection. The DRI may require monitoring for anemia (using assays such as hematocrit and/or serum protein levels) when repeated collection of larger volumes are required. Blood collected for diagnostics or other veterinary procedures must be considered when evaluating total volume available for experimental use. In all cases blood collection volumes should be limited to the minimum volume that will allow for successful experimentation or diagnostics.

Varieties of plants and lyophilized bovine bile have been used for increase secretion of bile in traditional systems of medicine of various countries. Following many articles note on the benefi cial effects of lyophilized bovine bile particularly on the wound healing and gastric protection effects, there is paucity of reports in literature on its effects on a bile secretion, a bile bilirubin, bile cholesterol and a plasma cholesterol levels. Sillichol contains lyophilizedbovine bile, liver hydrolisate, yarrow extract and silymarin. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of bile fl ow, bile bilirubin concentration bile cholesterol level and hepatoprotective of Sillichol. Sixteen adult male wistar rats (weighing between 200-250 gr) were used in the study. They were randomly assigned into control and sillichol group comprising 4 in each group. Thereafter, they were weighed and anaesthetized with ketamine (2ml/200gr body weight) muscle leg and quickly pinned to a dissecting board. Laparotomy was performed and liver lobes were defl ected anterolaterally to expose the common bile duct. The common bile duct was cannulated with a portex cannula (0.5 mm diameter) after a semitransection was made on the bile duct. The cannuls was held in place with thread tied over it and around the bile duct.The bile was collected for 8 hours from each rat studied according to method of Rozuet Jousse. The rate of bile fl ow was noted, the volume of bilirubin, bile cholesterol levels were determined in the control and test groups. Moreover, total of 18 wistar rats (200-250 gr) were obtainedfrom laboratory house of Drug research institute and acclimated for 10 days before starting the experiment. Liver toxicity was induced by the subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCL4, 0.4 ml/100gr), 1:1 diluted with paraffi n oil, for four successive days of the experiment (N.P.Scakun et al, 1983). The rats were divided randomly into 3 groups comprising 6 rats in each group and fed the same diet throughout the experimental period. Mean values of bile cholesterol and bilirubinlevels, rate of bile secretion in the control and sillichol group. Bile cholesterol levels were signifi cantly decreased in the sillichol group compared with the control group (60.3±0.88 mg/dl vs 62.6±1.21mg/dl, p<0.05). Rate of bile secretion was signifi cantly increased in the experimental compared with the control group(10.21±0.25 ml/8hr vs 4.18±0.25 ml/8hr, p<0.05). Total bilirubin, conjugated and unconjugatedbilirubin concentrations in both sillichol and control groups were not signifi cantly different (p<0.01). The activities of GOT, GPT and ALP were estimated in serum samples as the liver function biomarkers using biochemical diagnostic test. The CCL4 treatment markedly affected the liverspecifi c enzymes. It was found that a signifi cant (p<0.05) increase in serum GOT, GPT and ALP activities of CCL4 treated rats. After the treats, hepatic biomarkers were elevated in the serum due to release of the enzymes from damaged liver. GOT (69.8±1.5), GPT (103.9±1.2), ALP (23.8±0.2) and Cholesterol (67.7±13.6) andtriglyceride (64.0±3.3) levels weredecreasedsignifi cantly (p<0.05) in the sillichol groupcompared with the control group. Silichol is decreasing concentration of cholesterol and bilirubin’s level in bile, constantly after administration of drug. Also, liverpreparation is increasing bile acid secretion in hepatocytes and a speed of secretion.From the results of pharmacological study concluded that involves CCL4 induced acute toxic hepatitis, liver preparation has hepatoprotective effect by protecting the liver cells from injury, improving the regeneration process and by correcting metabolic functions of the liver.

Introduction. Monos Group, Drug Research Institute is starting to investigate of Ellipin preparationfrom the mid-1990s, Ellipin has anti cancer activity in liver and several studies were investigated withscientists from Japan and China. Especially Hayashi K., Khurelbaatar L and Ambaga M were determinedanti-cancer action of the preparation and they were explained of mechanism of action, which apoptosisis seduced by influence of unsaturated fatty acids in tumor cells. However, changes of fatty acidscomposition at production stage were did not study yet. Therefore, we studied that composition of fattyacids in different term of production stage and compared of Ellipin dense substance.Materials and Methods. Samples of study were collected from production stage of “Ellipin” series130304, which was tacked in 48th hour, 120th hour of production. Each sample was dried at freezedryer “Labconco freezone12L” in Drug Research Institute. Total lipids of sample were extracted withchloroform: methanol (2: 1 v/v) according to Folch et al. Fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed usingAgilent Packard Gas Chromatograph (GC) (Model HP-6890 Agilent Packard) with mass-spectrumdetector (Model HP MSD 5973N) of Buryat State University, in Ulan-Ude.Results. Ellipin preparation is derived from bovine liver, and which is based on homogenization of bovineliver for isotonic. In this process, unsaturated fatty acids were extracted in organic solution. We studiedchanges which saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of bovine liver in process of homogenization andconsist of each fatty acid contents of end product. Results have shown that unsaturated fatty acidswere decreased by 0.4-44% till 120th hour of homogenization process. While, there were decreasedby 4-12% in the end product, although, ω-6 fatty acids were increased by 13.1-38.4%. Moreover, 25saturated fatty acids and 12 unsaturated fatty acids were detected in the Ellipin dense substance (endproduct). Hence, 67.5% of total fatty acid was saturated fatty acids, 32.5% was unsaturated fatty acidsin the Ellipin dense substance. Resent results and results of previous studies indicated that Ellipindense substance may contains saturated fatty acids on in average 50.34%, unsaturated fatty acids onin average 49,32%, respectively.Conclusion. Proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in Ellipin production was about 2:1.Saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids were found 25 and 12, respectively. Saturated fattyacids were gradually decreased and unsaturated fatty acids were slowly increased in production period,which from 48th hour of production-conveyer till end product. Moreover, content of ω-3-6-9 fatty acidswas consist 83,9-87,5% of total unsaturated fatty acid.

Introduction:
Constipation is highly prevalent, often chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects
adults. The treatment with classic drugs did not cut, in one hand with the inadequate relief of bloating
and other symptoms, and with the luck of efficacy in relieving constipation. Therefore, the search
for novel safe laxative drugs seems, inevitable. Rheum undulatum L. was traditionally used in
constipation, thus we have attempted to evaluate the laxative effect of Rheum undulatum L.
Purpose:
The laxative effect of Rheum undulatum L. was evaluated against loperamide
induced constipated rats.
Methodology:
Fifteen male normal rats were used in this study. Fifteen male constipated wistar
albino rats weighing 180-250 g were also used for the study and randomized into three groups
(n=5) in each of the experiments. Constipated control group rats oral administrated distilled water.
Constipated rats (treatment groups) were treated with 4.1 mg/kg dose body weight /day of the
preparation for one day and also Laxing a standard drug was used for the reference group. The
fecal weight, the fecal humidity laxative activity were monitored in experimental rats.
Results:
Constipation was successfully induced in the rats by loperamide as seen in the
elevated fecal properties compared to the control rats. The Rheum undulatum L. compounds
preparation administered orally produced significant laxative activity and reduced loperamide
induced constipation in dose dependent manner as seen in the increase of fecal output. The
same doses of the Rheum undulatum L. compounds preparation produced a significant increase
(P<0.05) fecal weight, the faeces humidity. The effect of the compounds preparation compares
favourably well with Laxing, a standard laxative drug.
Conclusion
The results of this study justify the use of Rheum undulatum L. compounds
preparation as a laxative in traditional medicine. The produced significantly increase in fecal output
of rats and the stimulation of gastrointestinal motility.
