[Clinical immunological peculiarities of complicated course of odontogenic phlegmons of maxillofacial region].

Based upon clinical immunological checkup of 76 patients with common phlegmons of maxillofacial region, their complications and analysis of general phlogogenic activity the variants of hyperergic inflammation process flow were determined, that allowed to diagnose its activity and forecast possibility of its further development and its outcome.

[Various cellular mechanisms of the action of laser irradiation of blood].

Effect of in vitro exposure to therapeutic He-Ne laser at a wave-length of 630 nm in two modes, 2 and 6 mWt, on the function of blood cells is studied. Exposure to 6 mWt resulted in spontaneous increase of interleukin-1 production by peripheral blood mononuclears. 2 mWt exposure led to increase of erythrocyte deformability and decrease of their viscosity, whereas 6 mWt exposure did not modify these parameters.

[Connection between Epstein-Barr virus infection and HLA phenotype and features of cytokine status in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas].

Thirty-four primary (untreated) patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were examined. Their HLA phenotype and the production of interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha were assessed. Serological profiles characteristic of the late stages and reactivation of EBV infection were detected in 16 (47.
