[Development of immunity to the poliomyelitis virus in infants with various methods of administering a live poliomyelitis vaccine].

The data have been obtained which indicate that the effectiveness of vaccination with live trivalent poliomyelitis vaccine may be increased and 90--100% of the vaccinated infants under 1 year of age may develop marked resistance of the alimentary tract and high antibody titers in the blood serum to the threee types of poliomyelitis virus in the course of 3 vaccinations. Some regularities of the formation of immunity to individual poliomyelitis virus types in the course of 4 vaccinations with trivalent vaccine were revealed and specified. The results indicate that the contact of vaccine virus with the oropharyngeal tissues during immunization has a favourable effect on the development of immunity. Vaccination of infants under 1 at 6-week intervals between vaccine feedings creates solid immunity in 90--100% vaccines. Administration of the next vaccine dose 6 weeks after the previous one stops multiplication of the dominating type of vaccine virus and prevents its long-term passage in the intestinal tract decreasing the probability of emergence of vaccine virus variants with increased pathogenicity.

[The dynamic biochemical indices of the blood in patients with suppurative-inflammatory processes of the soft tissues of the face and neck].

Changes in the blood serum protein and mineral composition, trypsin inhibitor content, alanine amino-transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alpha-glutamyl transpeptidase, creatine kinase, choline esterase activities, blood plasma trace element levels were examined in 112 patients with pyoinflammatory involvement of the soft tissues of the face and neck. The study was revealed reduced blood serum albumin concentration, elevated trypsin inhibitor levels and alpha-glutamyl transpeptidase and creatine kinase activities, decreased content of Mg and Zn and, in some patients, of choline esterase activity. Biochemical parameters gradually normalize, as the patients recover, their normalization depending on the therapeutic methods and detoxication treatment.
