[Serodiagnosis of patients with glomerulonephritis].

A comprehensive clinical and morphologic examination of 160 nephrologic inpatients included titration of antibodies to respiratory viruses and to HBsAg and of streptolysin O. A correlation was detected between immunity status parameters and the presence and severity of proteinuria in the patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. Besides routine clinical and laboratory examinations, thorough serologic and virologic studies are necessary for this patient population, for such studies will help determine the trigger mechanism of the disease and thus predict the possible development of the condition.

[Changes in electric excitability and metabolism in the muscles of replanted extremity].

The authors have studied the dynamics of variation of redox enzymes in the muscles of replanted extremity in 40 adult dogs, which endured replantation of long-ischemized (18-21 degrees C, 4-6 h) extremities. It was discovered that during the postoperative period of observation (45 days) in the muscles of the replanted extremity are preserved obvious degenerative and dystrophic changes and decrease of metabolic and rehabilitation reaction. On the basis of the obtained data the authors employed the effective pathogenetic therapy.

[Characteristics of the immunologic response to Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a polyclonal lymphocyte activator].

M. pneumoniae, used as mitogen, was shown to initiate the synthesis of antibodies to salmonellae in the culture of lymphocytes obtained from healthy donors as actively as lectins and Staphylococcus aureus protein A. In these experiments IgG antibodies were mainly synthesized. The serological study of a group of persons (333 subjects) for 2.5 years revealed that seroconversion to M. pneumoniae and simultaneously to viruses occurred in 78% of cases. In more than a half of the cases a rise in the titers of antibodies to M. pneumoniae and simultaneously to salmonellae was found to occur with no cases of salmonellosis being registered. The results of this study make it possible to come to the conclusion that M. pneumoniae is a polyclonal activator of antibody-producing cells in vitro and, probably, in vivo.

[New immunofluorescent method for the rapid determination of microbial antibiotic sensitivity].

A new procedure for rapid determination of the levels of antibiotic sensitivity in pathogenic microorganisms with the use of fluorescent antibodies is described. The procedure was developed with the use of a model of the vaccinal strains of Bacillus anthracis. It is based on determination of the microbial antibiotic resistance with the method of serial dilutions on solid media. Still, the medium with an antibiotic is inoculated instead of the pathogen with the native material subject to the analysis. The antibiotic effect on the microorganism is estimated with the method of fluorescent antibodies. The replica preparations obtained as a result of the pathogen growth in a mixed culture on nutrient media containing definite concentrations of the antibiotic are examined with the method of luminescence microscopy. The modification of the immunofluorescent procedure for rapid determination of the microbial sensitivity to antibiotics does not require obligatory isolation of the pathogen as a pure culture. This makes the procedure more economic with respect to the time necessary for the analysis. The following conditions for performing rapid analysis with respect to Bacillus anthracis are required: the minimal concentration of the pathogen in the specimen (2.10(5) spores/ml), preliminary thermal treatment of the specimen for destroying the spore microflora, additional cultivation for 6-8 hours at 37 degrees C. The presence of the accompanying sporulating microflora, i.e. common microorganisms present in the atmosphere, soil and open water bodies does not prevent the performance of the analysis.

[State of cellular immunity and phagocytes in guinea pigs infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae].

The work presents the results of the study of experimental Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in guinea-pigs. A considerable increase in the engulfment of mycoplasmas and blood leukocytes was found to occur on days 14-28 after the infection. The correlation between the degree of the engulfment of mycoplasmas by macrophages and the activity of lymphocytes in the reaction of blast-cell transformation with phytohemagglutinin and Mycoplasma antigen was observed. The peculiarities of the course of infection in sensitized animals were revealed. Virulent Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains were found to have a toxic effect on the lymphocytes and macrophages of guinea-pigs. This effect was neutralized by specific antiserum. The importance of these facts for the pathogenesis of Mycoplasma infection is discussed.

[Nature of rhythmic discharges in ventral spinal cord roots].

Rhythmic "locomotor discharges" recorded in the ventral spinal roots by Perret et al proved to increase during asphyxia and disappeared during apnea. Thus, rhythmic discharges in the ventral spinal roots depended on irradiation from the respiratory centre and could not confirm the fact of existence of a special "locomotor pacemaker".
