[Initial experience with prophylactic Proteus vaccine immunization in an emergency clinic].

As early as the first 24 hours since a severe isolated locomotor trauma the patients were immunized with Proteus vaccine. Such vaccination is shown to stimulate the production of serum specific antibodies, to reduce contamination of the wound with gram-negative agents, to shorten hospital stay and healing of the wound versus subjects vaccinated with staphylococcal anatoxin and nonimmunized patients.

[The effect of detoxifying hemosorptive hemosorption and physiotherapy on the immune status in acute exogenous poisoning].

Similar changes in cellular and humoral immunity indicative of the onset of toxic immune depression have been revealed in 53 patients with acute poisoning with organophosphorus insecticides and psychotropic agents. The therapy employed hemosorption (HS), blood exposure to magnetic field and ultraviolet (UV) blood irradiation. Immunocorrection was the most effective in the combination of HS with UL blood irradiation.

[The effect of an immune antibacterial plasma and a donor leukocyte mass on the immune system of patients with suppurative-septic processes].

The influence of immune antistaphylococcal, anti-Proteus and anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasma and donor leukocyte mass on some humoral and cell-mediated immunity characteristics in patients with purulent and septic diseases has been studied. The study has shown that treatment with immune plasma leads to an increase in the amount of circulating T lymphocytes and in the concentration of IgA, IgM and IgG, to the activation of phagocytosis and to an increase in the titers of the corresponding antimicrobial antibodies simultaneously with a decrease in the content of bacterial antigens in the blood serum. Treatment with donor leukocyte mass has also been found to lead to an increase in the concentration of T lymphocytes and immunoglobulins, to enhance the functional activity of phagocytizing neutrophils and to promote the normalization of the content of leukocytes in the peripheral blood.
