[Immunologic criteria of severity of suppurative infections in patients on programmed hemodialysis]. / Immunologicheskie kriterii tiazhesti gnoinoi infektsii u bol'nykh programmnom gemodialize.

Certain parameters of the immune system were studied in patients under programmed hemodialysis with and without pyo-inflammatory complications. It was found that patients without pyo-inflammatory diseases are characterized by the state of immune deficiency while in patients with purulent infection the degree of inhibition of immune response of the organism correlates with spread of the suppurative process.

[Morphofunctional changes in blood cells irradiated with ultraviolet light]. / Morfofunktsional'nye izmeneniia kletok krovi, obluchennoi ul'trafioletovym svetom.

Red cell and leukocyte morphology and function have been examined in donor blood UV irradiated in a flow closed circulation. The studies have revealed that a single UV irradiation enhances red cell resistance to chemical hemolysis, helps them acquire normal shape; besides, it improves leukocytic functional activity, that manifests by enhanced phosphatase activity and augmentation of the granulocyte phagocytic activity.

[Nonspecific reactive state of the body in gastroduodenal hemorrhages]. / Sostoianie nespetsificheskoi reaktivnosti organizma pri gastroduodenal'nykh krovotecheniiakh.

The clinico-immunological investigation of 99 patients with gastroduodenal hemorrhages has shown pronounced changes in the humoral defensive system of the organism to develop due to hemorrhage which are dependent mainly on the degree and duration of the hemorrhage. The complement system is the first to suffer. The authors believe that the indices of the antiinfectional immune reactivity might be one of the criteria in determining the optimal terms of surgery in the posthemorrhagic period.
