[Blood coagulating and anticoagulant properties of the tissues in experimental chronic alcoholism in albino rats].

A study was made of thromboplastin, antiheparin and antithrombin activity of the brain, heart and liver tissues of rats in experimental chronic alcoholization. Appreciable changes in the tissue factors of coagulation according to the dyscoagulemia type depending on the duration and gravity of alcoholic intoxication may aggravate hemostatic disorders.

[Immunosuppressive properties of the influenza virus].

In experimental influenza infection in mice, inhibition of generation of antibody and antibody-producing cells was observed against reduced activity of T-suppressors and activation of T-helpers. These data indicate that the immunosuppressive effect of influenza virus is associated with inhibition of some other elements in the lymphocyte T-system rather than T-helpers.
