According to the available statistical data 80% of the patients begin and complete treatment in polyclinic. Now it becomes necessary to use more widely the low-expensive hospital-substitutive technologies, i.e.

Pine resin and Biopin ointment: effects on cell composition and histochemical changes in wounds.

We studied the effects of Biopin ointment containing pine resin and used for the therapy of burns, wounds, and purulent and inflammatory diseases on the cell composition of wounds and histochemical changes in the granulation tissue during the therapy of extensive third-degree burns. The preparation stimulated the nonspecific immune response, normalized hemodynamics in damaged regions, and stimulated cell proliferation in the squamous epithelium.

Effect of pine resin and Biopin ointment on T and B cell immunity.

We studied the effects of pine resin and Biopin ointment used for the therapy of burns, wounds, purulent and inflammatory diseases on differentiation of T lymphocyte precursors, lymphocyte proliferation in the thymus and spleen, and production of tumor necrosis factor and interleukins 1, 2, and 6 by splenocytes and peripheral blood leukocytes. The wound-healing effect of these preparations is determined by their pronounced immunomodulatory properties.

Pine resin and Biopin ointment: effects on nonspecific resistance of organisms.

We studied the effects of pine resin and Biopin ointment used for the therapy of burns, wounds, purulent and inflammatory diseases on blood leukocyte count, phagocytic activity of macrophages and neutrophils, and redox potential of peripheral blood neutrophils. The wound-healing effect of the test preparations is determined by their ability to activate phagocytosis.
