[Biochemical indices of the allantoic fluid of chick embryos infected with the influenza virus]. / Biokhimicheskie pokazateli allantoisnoi zhidkosti kurinykh émbrionov, zarazhennykh virusom grippa.

Virus-containing allantoic fluid (VCAF) serves as raw material for influenza virus manufacture in the USSR. VCAF composition varies greatly from batch to batch. The causes of instability of its composition were studied. The main high molecular admixtures determining VCAF instability were found to include proteins and lipids getting into VCAF with amniotic fluid, blood, and yolk of the embryo when VCAF is collected. Physicochemical characteristics (pH, protein and lipid concentrations, protein composition) for VCAF control at pooling are proposed.

[Influenza C: the immunological aspects of the problem]. / Gripp C: immunologicheskie aspekty problemy.

The use of the complex of methods for the characterization of cell-mediated and humoral immunity to influenza C virus has made it possible to establish that with the increase of the age of children and, simultaneously, with the increase of the number of persons found to be seropositive to influenza C the asymptomatic forms of this infection occur more frequently. Practically all examined adults selected by random choice have proved to be immune to this infective agent. The results of this investigation indicate that influenza C virus constantly circulates among the population.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the complex treatment of complicated forms of acute suppurative mastitis]. / Giperbarooksigenoterapiia v kompleksnom lechenii oslozhnennykh form ostrogo gnoinogo mastita.

HBO was used in the complex of curative measures in 57 patients with complicated course of acute purulent mastitis. Its positive effect upon the external ventilation, general hemodynamics, reduced intoxication, correction of the secondary immune insufficiency and healing of the wounds was shown.
