[The role of immunopathological factors in severe forms of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].

Immunogrammes of 31 patients with grave forms of insulindependent diabetes mellitus were reviewed. The illness has been characterized as a systemic immunopathologic process combining autoimmune and infectious-and-allergic components realized by organ and tissue abnormalities; it evolves against the manifest background of allergy of both delayed anl immediate types, impairement of the humoral and cell-mediated immunity function, pathogenetic activity of endogenous proteases, the complement system components and interferon.

[Effect of some drugs on the intensity of lipid peroxidation in surrounding tissues in the local treatment of suppuration].

The effect of some drugs in their local use for treatment of purulent wounds on the intensity of peroxide oxidation of lipids in the perifocal tissues of an experimental suppurative focus was studied. The increased antioxidant and antiinflammatory effect in use of lyposomal form of gentamycin with the ectericide-modified membranes versus ectericide solution as well as more pronounced antioxidant and antiinflammatory effect of ferecterisole vs. cimesole was revealed.

[Evaluation of liposomal forms of rifampicin and prodigiozan in the treatment of experimental chronic tonsillitis].

Therapeutic effect of liposomal dosages of rifampicin and prodigiozan was studied on rabbits with simulated chronic tonsillitis in comparison to that of commercial ones of the drugs. The treatment schemes included daily intra-tonsillar++ injections of the dosage forms for 5 days. A high efficacy of their liposomal dosage forms in treatment of experimental chronic tonsillitis was confirmed microbiologically and immunologically.

[The cause-effect interdependence in the pathogenesis of chronic tonsillitis as an infectious allergic process].

Clinical and immunological examinations of 360 patients with chronic tonsillitis and 286 patients suffering from systemic complications of chronic tonsillitis at various post-tonsillectomy stages demonstrated that the major immunopathological factor in the case of chronic compensated tonsillitis was microbial allergy and in the case of chronic decompensated tonsillitis, autoimmune disorders. The high titer of autoantibodies to tonsillar antigen that persisted at various post-tonsillectomy stages made it necessary to use systemic immune correction as part of therapy of chronic tonsillitis.
