[Cytochemical lymphocytic markers as criteria suitable for mass and selective hematologic screening of children living in areas contaminated by radionuclides].

A cytochemical lymphocytogram by PAS--reaction and nonspecific esterase test was made using blood smears from 820 children living in different regions of the Bryansk area exposed to radioactive contamination and from 46 matched controls from noncontaminated territories. Most of the children were born before the Chernobyl accident. The cytochemical lymphocytogram was informative enough to evaluate lymphocytic pool and its renewal.

[Ag-negative phenomenon of nucleolar organizers of bone marrow and blood cells in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

The activity of nucleoli-organizing (NOR's) regions was studied in leukemic cells of 53 children with immunologically typical ALL. The Ag-negative type of ALL was found in 9 cases of IA-ALL and Comm(+)-ALL. Dominating cells were not argentaffin.

[State of nucleolus-forming regions in bone marrow and blood cells in acute leukemia in children].

The study of the activity of nucleolus-forming areas in bone marrow and blood cells in 67 children with acute leukemia has shown the parameter variability depending on histogenetic affiliation, differentiation degree and on the proliferative activity of the cells.
