[Perception of remote warm and cold point stimulation of different areas in human skin].

The study was made in 57 female students to investigate the verbal and temperature characteristics of the perception of remote thermo- and cryostimulation in 3 skin points, 3 mm in diameter, having different innervation, such as the back, forearm, concha auriculae. No information on the site and modality of a stimulus was given to the examinees. The mean time of thermo- and cryostimulation applied to each skin point was 40 to 300 sec.

[Probable prognostic markers of immune status in patients with chronic infectious diseases].

The comparative study of the main characteristics of immune status in patients with urogenital chlamydiosis, furunculosis, urogenital herpes (38 patients) and in the members of the control group (21 subjects) was made. The analysis of the results obtained in this study revealed the numerical values of immunological characteristics, capable of being used as markers indicating transition into the chronic form. Thus, it showed a decrease in the population of cells with phenotype CD72+ in chlamydiosis; a fourfold increase in the population of cells with phenotype CD16+ in furunculosis; an increase in the population of cells with phenotype CD8+, a decrease in the immunoregulatory index and the population of cells with phenotype CD72+ in herpes.

[Changes in immunological indicators in patients with surgical endotoxemia after UV-irradiation of blood].

Changes in the values of the immune status during UV autohemotherapy were studied in 22 patients with surgical endotoxicosis of various genesis. Maximum tension of immunogenesis was found in all patients. The time course of changes in the general pool of rosette-forming and separate populations of neutrophils, as well as in the index of immunocompetent cell ratios are evidence of the high informativeness of these tests in determining the severity of the immune system dysfunctions.
