[Several indexes needed for evaluation of hypersensitive reactions of the medicine].

Drug allergy represents the dominant problem of twenty first century. Number of heavy allergic reactions is increased that is obvious through the increasing number of hospitalizations. Mentioned problem is extended through the rapid development of pharmaceutical industry.

[Application of Populus Nigra preparations at experimental parodontitis].

Severe oxidative stress, developed under experimental periodontitis is accompanied by disturbances in mitochondrial respiration in tissue cells of gingiva, membrane damage and release of Fe(2+) and Mn(2+), leading to the worsening of inflammation process and gingival tissue necrosis. Reduction of free nitric oxide in gingival tissue appeared to be characteristic for experimental parodontitis: decreases local immunity, antimicrobial resistance, and tissue regeneration, disturbs blood supply and tissue trophism, which forwards important role in deepening of inflammation process and wasting of gingival tissue. Application of preparations derived from black poplar (Populus Nigra) gemma standardizes mitochondrial respiration, reduces presentation of inflammation, and considerably improves EPR-spectrum of gingival tissue.

[The use of hyperbaric oxygenation for the prevention of complications in local plastic operations on the face and neck].

Studied were 37 patients in which defects and deformations of various etiology were corrected using plastic with local tissues excised from face and neck. Polarography, thermography and thermometry proved that 5 sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation (HO) at 1.5 atm.
