[Prognostic significance of typical immune reactions in myocardial infarction].

Aim: To ascertain the role of typical reactions of the immune system in early prognostication of congestive cardiac failure (CCF) in patients with primary transmural anterior myocardial infarction (MI) in the postinfarction period.

Material And Methods: Typical immune reactions were studied for a year after the disease onset. A total of 228 males aged 40-60 years (mean age 53.

[Problem of specific and nonspecific factors in the induction and regulation of immunological reactions].

The functional unity of the specific and nonspecific mechanisms of immunological reactions has been shown on the basis of our own investigations and the published data. As revealed in this study, during the formation of immune response smooth transition from the nonspecific level to the specific one occurs. First, the factors of nonspecific protection are switched on, then intermediate reactions develop, further antibodies are synthesized, etc.
