[Correction by sodium nucleinate of immunologic disorders in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the arteries of the lower limbs].

It is shown that sodium nucleinate applied in a complex with the generally accepted nonoperative therapy corrects the immune status of patients with atherosclerosis of the lower limb arteries in stage IIB circulatory disorders. The number of T-lymphocytes (45.2 +/- 1.

[Immunological status of patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the vessels of the lower limbs].

In 116 patients with atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities in stages I-IV of the impairment in circulation and 35 healthy subjects, the immune status was studied. With aggravation of the disease, the number of leukocytes, B-cells, concentration of the IgM, IgG and circulating immune complexes, the number of immature lymphocytes and T-cells sensitizised to antigens of the arterial intima increase. At the same time, the total activity of the complement and phagocytic activity of neutrophilic granulocytes decrease, the relative number of neutrophilic granulocytes, which spontaneously generate a superoxide radical, increases.

[Therapeutic procedure in severe craniocerebral trauma combined with skeletal injuries in children].

The article is devoted to a complex and scantily explored problem of treatment of patients with a severe cranio-cerebral injury in the acute period. The analysis of a considerable material (129 cases) showed the early and valuable treatment of fractures of skeletal bones to have favourable effect upon the course of the traumatic disease of the brain and to diminish lethality and invalidism.
