[The phenotype IFNy+cd69- of T-lymphocytes of umbilical blood associated with epidemiologically verified risk factors of atopy formation].

The article deals with the determination of possible role of imbalance of lymphocytes TH1/TH2 at birth in pathogenesis of atopy development in children. The subpopulation compound of umbilical blood lymphocytes was examined on sampling of 153 newborns. The following prospective monitoring was applied during first year of life.

[Place of the transplantation of the amniotic membrane in the treatment of corneal diseases concomitant with corneal neovascularization].

Published data and authors' independent observations related with the influence produced by the transplantation of the amniotic sac on corneal neovascularization are described. The epithelial-and-stromal corneal defect as well as the limbic epithelium deficit with a subsequent conjunctivization of the corneal epithelium and corneal neovascularization are one of the key mechanisms of corneal neovascularization. The amniotic sac transplantation, made for the purpose of reconstructing the eye surface, ensures the conditions for a fast recovery of the corneal epithelium and, thus, prevent the corneal neovascularization.

[Staphylococcal colonization of the oral cavity of children following an acute form of rubella infection].

The children were being observed during the course of acute rubella infection and postinfectious period. Quantitative dynamic changes in the normal microflora composition were noted weekly during the first month of the disease as well as in the beginning of the second and the third months. The amount of microorganisms registered 3 weeks and in the beginning of the second month after the onset of rubella infection differed from that in the controls.

[The characteristics of the synthesis of specific antihemagglutinins and antihemolysins in subjects inoculated with live measles vaccine in different climatic and geographical areas].

The examination of children in the Far North and moderate zones has revealed essential differences in the formation of humoral antimeasles postvaccinal immunity. After booster immunization with live measles vaccine specific anti-hemolysins are more intensively synthesized than anti-hemagglutinins under the conditions of the Far North. In the moderate climatic zone the repeated injection of live measles vaccine induces more intensive synthesis of specific anti-hemagglutinins, rather than anti-hemolysins.

[Use of beta adrenergic blockaders in the prevention of vitreous body prolapse in cataract extraction].

To prevent vitreous body prolapse in cataract extraction, intraocular pressure is reduced by means of beta-adrenoblockers instillation (timolol 0.5% solution) in the evening and 2 hours before surgery in the morning. Intraocular pressure was followed up in 59 patients with senile and 12 with complicated cataract subjected to cataract cryoextraction by the same surgeon.
