[Effect of UV radiation and the autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood on the content of cationic proteins in the neutrophilic granulocytes of calves]. / Vliianie UF izlucheniia i autotransfuzii UF-obluchennoi krovi na soderzhanie kationnykh belkov v neitrofil'nykh granulotsitakh teliat.

A study was made of the influence of UV-irradiation (254 nm) of blood in vitro, of the autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood (AUVIB), and of the mixture of UV-irradiated and intact blood in vitro on the content of bactericidal cation proteins (CP) in blood neutrophil of calves suffered from dyspepsia and broncho-pneumonia. Age differences were noticed in CP contents and their decrease in neutrophils following AUVIB in vivo and administration of the mixture of blood in vitro. The decrease in cell CP contents is presumably due to neutrophil degranulation and CP release into the blood plasma. Since the initial mechanisms of neutrophil degranulation are located on the cell surface, the CP release is supposed to result from a membranotropic effect of UV-irradiated blood on the intact autologous blood. This effect may explain the increase in nonspecific resistance of organism after the AUVIB, being one of the main therapeutic phenomena of the AUVIB-therapy.

[Effect of lactoplasmin, gamma-globulin, Filatov's swine embryo tissue preparation and hyperimmune rabbit serum on several hematologic indices and morbidity among cattle with bronchopneumonia]. / Vliianie na laktoplazmin, gamma-globulin tukanen preparat ot svinski embrioni po Filatov i khiperimunen zaeshki serum burkhu niakoi khematologichni pokazateli i zaboliaemostta na teletata ot bronkhopnevmoniia

Studied was the effect of lactoplasmin, gamma-globulin, a tissue preparation of swine embryos after Filatov, and a hyperimmune rabbit serum on the hemopoieis, the white blood picture, and the morbidity rate in calves with bronchopneumonia. It was found that these preparations influence favourably the white blood picture, the clotting time of blood, and the resistance of calves. With the test calves the morbidity rate was lower than in the controls. Best prophylactic effect was produced with use of tissue preparations and lactoplasmin.
