[R proteins as a reflection of disorders in the cellular reception mechanisms in kidney diseases].

As many as 47 patients with amyloidosis and 31 with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) were examined for the blood serum content of R proteins, chemotactic activity of blood leukocytes and the degree of the inhibitory influence of the autologous serum on chemotaxis. Amyloidosis and CGN were marked by an increase of the level of receptor proteins. A reverse correlation was established between the rise of the content of R proteins and the chemotactic properties of leukocytes. In CGN, the rate of demonstration of the high titers of R proteins and the magnitude of the chemotaxis decline depended on the disease phase (the degree of activity) whereas in amyloidosis, these reactions differed insignificantly in patients with various clinical patterns and stages of renal amyloidosis.

[The level of R proteins in reactive arthritis].

A total of 46 patients with reactive arthritides and 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were examined, as compared with 20 normal persons, for the blood serum content of the products of catabolic breakdown of cell receptors--R proteins (according to inhibition of the hemagglutination reaction between human red blood cells and anti-R-serum) and for conventional parameters of phagocyte function of leukocytes. The content of R proteins in patients with reactive arthritis and RA was found to be increased, and the phagocytic activity was discovered to be lowered. The changes in the parameters indicated depended on the disease entity and the disease course. The possible pathophysiological importance of changes in the level of R proteins in arthritides is discussed.

[Value of cytochemical tests in nephrology].

The activity of peripheral blood leukocyte enzymes (neutrophils and lymphocytes) was assessed by cytochemical methods in 166 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis and amyloidosis (primary, secondary, hereditary in periodical disease) to determine their importance for differential diagnosis and to assess the activity and prognosis of these nephropathies. Correlation of the nature of enzymatic shifts with nephropathy type, activity of inflammation and prognosis of nephritides was shown. The effectiveness of the use of cytochemical tests in examination of nephrological patients was substantiated.

[Distribution of chemical elements in whole blood and plasma].

The distribution factor (Fd) of 35 elements of plasma and whole blood in 26 healthy men and women was detected by ICP-OES. Usilig this parameter the elements were subdivided in 3 pools. 9 of them have Fd higher than 1.5 ("elements of plasma"-Ag, Ca, Cu, In, Li, Na, Se, Si, Sr); 6 have lower than 0.5 ("elements of blood cells"-Fe, K, Mn, Ni, V, Zn), other 20-about 1 ("blood elements"). Fd of all elements depends on ionic radius. Elements of 2nd sub-groups of all groups of Mendeleev's periodic table ("heavy metals") depend on the similar law: "with growing of ionic radius the concentration of elements in plasma enhances". In alkaline metals Fd depends on the opposite law:" with growing of ionic radius of alkaline metal the quantity of elements in blood cells enhance". Dependence of Fd on the value of atomic mass in periods or in exterior electronic cloud (s-, p-, d-, f-) was not established. The table of distribution of all detected elements in whole blood in relation to 8 macroelements (Ca, Mg, K, Na, S, P, Fe, Zn,) is presented, as a basic diagnostic criteria in metal-ligand homeostasis disturbance.
