[Status of nonspecific defense factors in patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases].

The features of nonspecific defense factors were studied in 42 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and in 18--with chronic subleukemic myelosis (CSM), in the presence of the treatment including polychemotherapy and plasmocytapheresis. Significant changes have been detected in the humoral factors of nonspecific defense (lysozyme, beta-lysins, complement components), as well as in the cellular component (phagocytic activity of the cells) in CML patients, these changes were growing with the leukemic process progressing. Plasmocytapheresis conducted produced no appreciable effect on the parameters of nonspecific resistance in the patients.

[Gallic acid: a potent inhibitor of tetramethylbenzidine peroxidation in aqueous and micellar media].

Gallic acid competitively inhibited 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine peroxidation both in 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.4) (KI 13.3 microM) and in reversed aerosol OT micelles of different hydration degrees dispersed in heptane (KI 21.3 to 29.3 microM). The average number of free radical particles terminated by one inhibitor molecule (f) was estimated to be 1.3 to 1.6 in aqueous buffer solutions and 1.08 to 2.72 in reversed micelles, depending on their hydration.
