[Morphofunctional parameters of immunocompetent blood cells in people with varying constitutions]. / Morfofunktsional'nye parametry immunokompetentnykh kletok krovi u liudei raznoi konstitutsii.

The examination of young healthy men has allowed to establish peculiarities of metabolism and reactivity of immunocompetent cells in relation to their somatotype. In individuals with somatotypes processing high fatty component (abdominal and undetermined) total lipid content in lymphocytes is increased predominantly due to unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol ethers; the activity of dehydrogenases (succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutathione reductase) is increased. Cell responsiveness to emotional stress is sharply reduced. Metabolism is the most balanced, and regulatory processes are most mobile in muscular somatotype.

[Effect of biotechnological industrial factors on immune system reactivity]. / O vliianii faktorov biotekhnologicheskogo proizvodstva na reaktivnost immunnoi systemy.

Screening in employees of enterprise producing antibiotics has revealed higher occurrence of allergic (39.6%) and gastrointestinal diseases. Some examinees (5.4%) demonstrated immune deficiency, the share of 8.3% were diagnosed as having cardiovascular neurosis. Further investigations involved bioluminescent and cytochemical studies of oxidation-reduction enzymes in white blood cells. Those studies proved lower serum activity of the enzymes in all the examinees including apparently healthy individuals. There was no significant difference between the health and ill employees, apart from the patients with immune deficiency. Ratio of CA to serotonin concentrations in the cells provided the most valuable information, being a diagnostic criterion for the diseases mentioned.

[Early morphological changes in acute hematogenic osteomyelitis]. / Rannie morfologicheskie izmeneniia pri ostrom gematogennom osteomielite.

The early morphological picture of acute hematogenic osteomyelitis was studied. From the first hours of the disease vascular disorders of the bone marrow with secondary lesions of the Haversian and Volkmann's canals were noted. The development of necroses and bone marrow phlegmons were associated with the degree of the disturbance of the bone marrow vascular network and the age of the child.
