[The parameters of blood and leukocytic intoxication index in the evaluation of the severity of inflammatory, purulent, and pyodestructive diseases].

Studies of the leukocytic intoxication index (LII), leukocytes, and lymphocytes in patients with inflammatory, purulent, and pyodestructive diseases of the abdomen, lung, and soft tissues at the height of disease have ascertained that LII progressively increased and the relative count of lymphocytes decreased with the worse health status in all groups of patients, particularly in ineffectively treated patients who subsequently died. However, in these patients, the absolute count of lymphocytes did not always tend to decrease. The persistent high LII concurrent with lymphocytopenia indicated a poor prognosis. Leukocytes had less pronounced changes in this respect.

[Some blood indices and the leukocytic index of intoxication in tuberculosis, pneumonias, abscesses, and cancer of the lung].

Examining the values of hemoglobin, red and white blood cells, differential count, and leukocytic index of intoxication (LII) in patients with tuberculosis, abscesses, pneumonias, and cancer of the lung indicated that in accordance with clinical and X-ray findings, LII and the count of lymphocytes reflected the degree of patients' health status to the greatest extent. These blood values were of the greatest prognostic value. In lung cancer, LII increased only when inflammatory and purulent complications occurred. Erythrocyte sedimentation rates had a greater tendency to increase in nonspecific processes, which may be occasionally of differential diagnostic value.

[Certain indices of blood and leukocyte index of intoxication caused by tumor].

While tumors stage III-IV of hollow organs involved lowered lymphocyte count matched by relatively high leukocyte index of intoxication, those parameters remained unchanged in parenchymatous cancer. Changes in lymphocyte count were both rarer and more irregular in all tumor sites. Similar changes occurred in post-operative pyo-destructive complications of hollow organs. This phenomenon may be instrumental in diagnosis of complication of both primary and postoperative pathology and assessment of surgical damage.

[Treatment of acute and chronic bursitis].

One hundred and twenty-five patients with acute and chronic ulnar and prepatellar bursitis were treated. Treatment policy was developed. If the first puncture of bursa's cavity without injection of obliterating drugs is not effective, drainage of bursa with perforated catheter is recommended. This policy permitted to reduce period of treatment and avoid bursectomy.

[Normal parameters of leukocyte index of intoxication].

A formula was suggested to determine the leukocytic index of intoxication (LII), which is a correlation between the level of neutrophils and the content of other cells in the blood leukocytic composition. The above formula was used to estimate the minimal, maximal and mean LII indices in patients, who had no inflammatory or purulent pathologies, i.e. normal indices, which respectively amounted to 1, 3 and 1.9. Such approach to composing a formula is in line with the specific features of vital activity, unlike Ya.Ya. Kalf-Kalif formula, which (when it was composed) it was added a number of coefficients. The application of the offered formula to determine the LII at acute appendicitis showed that the more severe an acute appendicitis was so much the LII increase was more intensive. It is noteworthy, that the high LII indices did not always correlate with an increased quantity of blood leukocytes. The above stated proves that the offered LII formula can be used in practice.

[Immunological parallels in the use of ultraviolet irradiation of autoblood in patients with suppurative diseases of soft tissue].

Ultraviolet irradiation of autoblood in patients with suppurative diseases of soft tissues increased the titer of specific antibacterial antibodies and the number of antibody-producing cells (APC), which was the most expressed in cases when the erythrocytes and leukocytes were exposed separately. Study of the count of APC during UV exposure showed it to increase 6-8 h after the procedure.

[Effects of ultraviolet irradiation of blood on the immunity indices in patients with suppurative diseases of soft tissues].

The titres of specific antimicrobial antibodies of blood and the amount of antibody-producing cells in patients with purulent diseases of soft tissues were higher after treatment by UV irradiation of their blood. It was found that the separate irradiation of autologous leuko-and erythromasses was followed by a more pronounced elevation of the indices in question, the amount of the antibody-producing cells being increased 6-8 hours after the UV irradiation of the autoblood.

[Anatomical characteristics of hepatogastric and gastrocolic ligaments and possibilities of their restoration after surgery].

The information concerning the shape and sizes of the hepatogastric and gastrocolic ligaments which is necessary for choice of a method for their restoration after performance of the operation on the stomach is presented. In the experiment on dogs, the methods for restoration of the mentioned ligaments have been developed. After restoration of the ligaments, rapid vascularization of a scar between them and gastric walls was revealed. After restoration of the hepatogastric and gastrocolic ligaments, the favourable immediate and long-term results were noted in 15 patients.
