[Characteristics of the population and subpopulation composition of peripheral blood lymphocytes in noncomplicated pregnancy based on flow cytofluorometry data].

The population and subpopulation composition of peripheral blood lymphocytes of 33 women was studied in the dynamics of non-complicated pregnancy by the method of flow cytofluorometry with the use of equipment and reagents supplied by Becton Dickinson, Inc. This study revealed that the non-complicated course of pregnancy was characterized by the adequate reaction of the mother's immune system ensuring the physiological development of the fetus during pregnancy and timely labor.

[Endogenous toxemia in acute disorders of cerebral circulation].

Critical conditions that develop because of hypoxia of different genesis are accompanied by endogenous intoxication induced to a considerable degree by the appearance in the blood of an excess amount of medium-sized molecules (MSM). An appreciable increase of the content of MSM was demonstrated since the very first days after the brain stroke as a result of examining 100 patients who suffered brain stroke, including 83 patients during the first week of the disease and 17 patients of the reference group with a history of acute impairment of cerebral circulation which had occurred over a month before. A reverse correlation was established between the level of endogenous intoxication and the clinical status of the patients which could be observed every day during the acute disease phase.
