Magnesium-containing composition influencing morphological parameters and gelatinase B activity in endometrial tissues in experimental chronic endometrial inflammation

Aim: to assess an effect of medicinal magnesium-containing composition on gelatinase B expression intensity and morphological parameters of chronic experimental endometrial inflammation.Materials and Methods. There were conducted experiments with 60 sexually mature female Wistar rats to determine an effect of medicinal magnesium-containing composition (contains magnesium chloride – a natural polymineral Bischofite) on gelatinase B activity in endometrial tissues (counting number of gelatinase-B-positive cells and intensity of gelatinase B expression), morphological parameters of cell infiltration, as well as amount of magnesium in red blood cell mass collected from the inferior vena cava and subclavian vein. All such parameters were assessed in experimental animals from 4 groups: group 1 – animals in baseline state, group 2 – control, group 3 – experimental chronic endometritis (CE), group 4 – experimental CE after treatment with medicinal magnesium-containing composition. Results. It was found that use of medicinal magnesium-containing composition increased amount of erythrocyte magnesium up to the baseline level and increased both number and expression intensity of stromal gelatinase B-positive cells. In addition, magnesium level in erythrocyte mass from the inferior vena cava was increased and accompanied with restored eosinophil-plasmacyte as well as significantly elevated macrophage-lymphocyte infiltration in endometrial tissues compared to CE animals lacking therapy. Conclusion. The results of this study allow us to conclude about importance of gelatinase B in pathogenesis of experimental chronic endometrial inflammation as well as an opportunity of regulating gelatinase B activity by applying medicinal magnesium containing drug in pathogenetic therapy of experimental CE.
