[The effect of experimental craniocerebral trauma on cell-mediated and humoral immunity reactions].

Brain injury (BI) was induced in 9 rabbits either after cranial trepanation or through graded blow. Cell-mediated immunity to brain autoantigens in the automix-culture test and the production of specific antibodies on soluble protein antigen immunization were studied. Experiment BI was not found to result in the emergence of the lymphocytes capable of mediate cellular autoimmune responses.

[The activity of the blood kallikrein-kinin system as a criterion of the severity of appendicular peritonitis in children].

For the first time a complex investigation of the Kallikrein-Kinin system of blood has been carried out in 145 patients with appendicular peritonitis and 27 patients with acute noncomplicated destructive appendicitis. The age of the patients was from 11 months up to 14 years. An analysis of the results obtained has shown the level of activation of kininogenesis and type of its reacting to correlate with and to objectively reflect the degree of the pathological process and the patient's state.
