[A clinico-laboratory assessment of the efficacy of dalargin in treating acute suppurative-inflammatory processes in the maxillofacial area].

Dalargin effects on the immune status parameters were studied in patients with acute pyoinflammatory processes of the soft tissues of the face. Tsen. lymphocyte subpopulation was found to be increasing in all the patients during therapy, whatever the clinical course of the underlying disease.

[The interrelation of indices of the functional activity of phagocytosing cells with the status of their receptor apparatus in patients with acute inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area].

Rapid techniques were applied to study functional activity of peripheral blood phagocytes in acute sick patients and upon discharge. E-rosette formation is recommended as such rapid technique, for it revealed the cells' superficial E-receptors. The nitro blue tetrazolium reduction test proved useful to probe the oxygen related bactericide mechanisms.

[A comparative study of delayed hypersensitivity due to mycobacteria and their isolated protein fractions].

The role of intracellular protein fractions, isolated from M. tuberculosis virulent strains in the process of the electrophoretic separation, in the development of delayed hypersensitivity reactions has been studied. Low reactogenicity of protein fractions has been established on the basis of the development of faint immunopathological reactions in sensitized animals.

[Glial volume test for patients with schizophrenia and its changes during therapy].

Glial volume test (GVT) was used to assess cytotoxic antibrain antibodies in 64 schizophrenic patients and 42 patients with organic disorders of the central nervous system. The GVT changes were unspecific and reflected the general course of the disease. Serum cytotoxicity increased with increasing psychopathological signs and reduced to normal or subnormal values with their alleviation.

[Nonspecific resistance and inflammation in patients with odontogenic phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].

Presented are data on morphological characteristics of maxillofacial odontogenic phlegmons observed in 98 patients with chronic periodontitis. The phlegmons have arisen in the presence of chronic inflammation of the soft tissue. Microbial flora in the inflammation focus proved opportunistic, abundant in nonclostridial anaerobic agents.
