[Spontaneous migration and adherence of leukocytes and the NBT test of peripheral blood neutrophils in patients with iron deficiency anemia].

Literature reports suggest that iron-deficiency may contribute to the development or intensification of the condition termed generally "immunodeficiency". In the available literature no reports were found on a precise evaluation of the functions of peripheral blood neutrophils in iron deficiency anaemia. The purpose of the presented study was: 1) estimation of the adherence of neutrophils from peripheral blood to fibres, 2) evaluation of the indices of spontaneous and latex-stimulated NBT reduction by the neutrophils, and 3) the test of spontaneous migration of peripheral blood leucocytes.

[Activity of various urinary enzymes in workers engaged in the production of polychlorinated pesticides].

In 44 workers of a chemical plant producing chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, protein concentration and activity of acid phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase and aspartate and alanine aminotransferase in urine were estimated. Protein concentration and activity of all test enzymes were significantly higher as compared to controls: the serum creatinine and uric acid concentration was normal in all examined persons.
