[Using biocomplexes in therapeutic-and-prophylactic and palliative measures in chronic obstructive lung disease].

The paper presents the results of a clinical study of the use of biocomplexes in therapy for chronic obstructive lung disease and shows possibility to use them in therapeutic-and-prophylactic and palliative measures.

[State of the mucociliary system in patients of senior age with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases].

The condition of mucociliary system has been studied in 246 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. It is stated that chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases patients observe the significant variation of bronchial clearance's tempos, imbalance in the system of lipids' peroxide oxidation and antioxidant defense during aggravation and remission. Dysfunction of mucociliary transport is associated with the changes of mucilaginous elastic characteristics of tracheal-bronchial secretion that leads to progression of bronchial obstruction.

[Endosymbiotic bacteria and their relationship with chlorella in the ciliate Climacostomum virens].

Structure of cytoplasmic bacterial symbionts of chlorella-free ciliate Climacostomum virens has been investigated. It is shown that ciliates are not able to support simultaneously growth and duplication of two different symbionts--bacteria and chlorella. Cells of C.

[Comparison of two aposymbiotic ciliate clones of Climacostomum virens by their ability for reinfection].

The ability of two aposymbiotic (algae-free) subclones of the same green clone of C. virens to establish a stable symbiotic association with Chlorella sp. has been studied by light and electron microscopy.

[Experience of serotonin application in the treatment complex of the lower extremities chronic atherosclerotic ischemia].

In 35 patients with chronic atherosclerotic ischemia of the lower extremities serotonin was applied in complex of treatment. Significant enhancement of volumetric blood flow, of the oxygen partial pressure and of rheovasographic index as well were noted. Clinically positive effect of the treatment was manifested by enhancement of the distance passed without pain, the extremity getting warmer and the pain cessation in rest.
