[Transferase contents in lymph and blood in fever reaction].

The aim of the present investigation was the study of the content of alanine, asparagine-transaminases, gamma-glutamyl transferase and their isoenzymes, as well as leucine aminotransferase in the lymph of thoracic duct, hepatic and intestinal lymph and peripheral blood in dynamics of fever reaction of various duration in the experiments on rabbits. Irrespective of its duration, the fever was followed by a significant activation of the enzymes in the body fluids. However, in many-day fever reaction, a rise of enzymes level in the lymph was more prolonged than that in the blood.

[Effect of the fever reaction on lymph cytologic composition and lymph node structure].

The authors studied the cytologic composition of afferent and efferent lymph and the morphology of the popliteal lymph node during a fever reaction of various duration. The fever reaction was attended by quantitative and qualitative in the cytologic composition of both lymph types. Reduction of the leukocyte count in the first hours of fever was replaced by its increase: the percentage of small- and moderate-size lymphocytes reduced, while that of poorly-differentiated cells--blasts and prolymphocytes--increased.

[Sequence of diagnostic methods in destructive lung diseases].

Of 240 examinees with different pulmonary pathology 100 verified cases of destructive diseases were selected. Nine diagnostic methods were applied to them. The effectiveness of each method was evaluated, and 3 strategies of the diagnosis of pulmonary destructive diseases were proposed.
