[Influence of the indometafen radioprotector on the immune reactivity]. / Vliianie radioprotektora indometofena na immunologicheskuiu reaktivnost' organizma.

In the experiments on dogs and mice it was shown that indometophene could modify the immune status of the body. Specific and non-specific resistance of mice to E. coli infection increased after indometophene administration. At the same time higher titers of normal anti-salmonella antibodies in mice serum and a higher phagocytic activity of neutrophils in the peripheral blood in dogs were found. The influence of the preparation on the content of the complement and normal antibodies-hemagglutinins was less pronounced. It was suggested that the indometophene ability to bustle immune reactivity of the body played a certain role in the mechanism of its radioprotective effect.

[Comparative analysis of 2 sanitary-bacteriological methods of detecting bacteria of the Escherichia coli group in the environment]. / Sravnite'lnyi analiz dvukh sanitarno-bakteriologicheskikh metodov opredeleniia bakterii gruppy kishechnoi palochki v okruzhaiushchei srede.

A total of 965 parallel tests for coli bacilli were carried out using the wash-out or print methods in the course of sanitary and epidemiologic inspection of different objects. The methods used in the study were equally sensitive and provided compatible results which were in good correlation. The print method with bacterial tests is more rapid (by 24 hours) and helps detect other bacteria which grow in Endo's medium; moreover, it is three times cheaper than the labor-consuming wash-out method.
