[Cytogenetic disorders iin patients with chronic hepatitis B and C].

The chromosomal apparatus of peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied in 19 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 17 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Significant changes in cytogenetic indices were revealed in the both groups. Incidence of aberrant cells in CHC exceeded significantly that in CHB (15.

[Possibilities of intravenous use of helium-neon laser in the treatment of experimental tuberculosis of animals].

The study presents experimental finding of 40 mongrel dogs whose intravascular blood was irradiated with laser as a supplement to the multimodality treatment of respiratory tuberculosis. Earlier disappearance of intoxication symptoms and reduced terms of destruction cavity decrease and closure, as roentgenologically evidenced, was achieved. The influence of this treatment on certain lipid peroxidation parameters, hemocoagulation, immunity status and bacteriostatic blood activity were found.

[Circulating immune complexes and the indices of the kallikrein-kinin system in viral hepatitis B].

The authors describe the dynamics of circulating immune complexes and indices of kallikrein-kinin system in the dynamics of the disease and convalescence period of patients with viral hepatitis B. A relationship was established between indices of the kallikrein-kinin system and their prognostic significance in the formation of unfavourable outcomes of the disease.

[Clinico-genetic and hemostatic disorders in viral hepatitis B].

Viral hepatitis B is characterized by pronounced chromatid and chromosome structural defects of peripheral blood T lymphocytes. The chromosome aberrations are longer in hepatitis B than in hepatitis A, in protracted and chronic forms in particular. Excessive circulating immune complexes occur in acute hepatitis.
