[Study of immunomodulating properties of beta-carotene in patients].

It was shown that in patients with hypertension, duodenal and gastric ulcers and erosive gastritis leukopenia and lymphopenia are seen. At the same time contents of T- and B-lymphocytes are decreased and contents of C- lymphocytes are increased in circulation blood. Peroral daily intake of 20 mg of beta-carotene during 3-4 weeks caused increasing the contents of B- and T-cells and decreasing contents of C-lymphocytes in blood of patients.

[Effects of passive administration of serotonin and catecholamine antibodies on alcohol consumption of C57Bl/6 mice in experimental alcoholism].

The experiments on C57Bl/6 mice with natural ethanol motivation have shown that passive injection of anti-noradrenaline and particularly antiserotonin antibodies reduces several times alcohol consumption by animals. On the contrary the injection of anti-dopamine antibodies to affect voluntary alcohol consumption by mice have been found.

[Splenopentin--modulator of immunological and behavioral reactions in secondary immunodeficiency state induced by experimental alcoholism].

Effect of splenopentin on some patterns of immunity was studied in mice with chronic alcoholic intoxication. Splenopentin was administrated into animals once intraperitoneally (250 micrograms/kg). Administration of splenopentin was found to normalize several immunological patterns in animals with chronic alcoholic intoxication: the immune response to the thymus-dependent antigen sheep red blood cells and phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. Also observations over C57B1/6 mice characterized by high level of alcoholic motivation showed that alcohol consumption in mice decreased after administration of splenopentin at a dose of 250 micrograms/kg during two weeks.

[Immuno-correcting activity of vitamin A in stress].

Experiments on CBA mice have shown that oral vitamin A administration prevents stress-induced immunological disorders: depression of antibody-forming cell production, decrease in natural killer cell activity and T-lymphocyte mitogenic response. Vitamin A also prevents the development of thymus atrophy, lymphopenia and depression of phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages.

[Antibodies to catecholamines and serotonin during alcoholic intoxication in animals with different predispositions to the development of experimental alcoholism].

Experiments on C57Bl/6, CBA and DBA/2 mice characterized by different preferences for ethanol have shown that during chronic administration of alcohol to animals with natural ethanol motivation (strain C57Bl/6) the level of antibodies to catecholamines and serotonin was increased on the 3rd month of ethanol intoxication, with the voluntary alcohol consumption in mice decreased by this time. On the contrary in mice rejecting alcohol (strains DBA/2, CBA) no antibodies to catecholamines and serotonin have been found.

[Changes in the phagocytic activity of the peritoneal macrophages of white mice caused by alcoholic intoxication].

Observations made on white mice showed that doses of alcohol had a stimulating effect on the indices of macrophage acitivity (pagocytic number and phagocytic index), while longer administration of 40% ethyl alcohol solution (in doses of 0,1 ml for 21--30 days) suppressed the functional activity of macrophages. In vitro experiments in which macrophages were subjected to the action of ethyl alcohol showed that alcohol, depending on its concentration, had a direct effect on the cells of the microphage system.

[Effect of alcoholic intoxication on the body's natural resistance to exposure to infectious and toxic agents].

The influence of alcoholic intoxication on the resistance of albino mice to bacterial toxins and staphylococcus cultures was investigated. Five-day administration of 40% ethyl alcohol to the animals was accompanied by a significant increase of their resistance to the intoxication caused by C1. perfringens toxins and staphylococcus. Thirty-day alcoholic intoxication promoted a marked reduction of albino mice resistance to the both toxins used and the staphylococcus cultures.
