Host defenses during prolonged alcohol consumption in a controlled environment.

To determine the pure effects of prolonged alcohol ingestion on host defenses, we studied six noncirrhotic alcoholic volunteers drinking in the Clinical Research Center. All had tests of granulocyte, humoral, and cell-mediated immune function before and at the end of eight to 28 days' intake of approximately 0.75 liter of 100-proof whiskey per day. Results of all tests were normal during the drinking period, except for the following: (1) granulocyte chemotaxis was depressed in three volunteers and improved on alcohol withdrawal; (2) antibody response to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) immunization was poor; and (3) delayed hypersensitivity could not be established to KLH. Although it is somewhat surprising that more abnormalities were not induced, the three defects noted may contribute to the alcoholic's poor resistance to infection.

[Implications of biological pest and parasite control for environment].

Biological control of parasites, vectors and pests must consider safety to non-target organisms and to the environment. The WHO safety procedure was discussed in respect to such agents as Bacillus thuringiensis, Romanomermis culicivorax, Gambusia affinis and others. Monitoring of the environment in which biological control treatments are performed is necessary to secure safety requirements as well as the efficiency of biological control programmes.

Vinyl chloride exposure in a controlled industrial environment. A long-term mortality experience in 594 employees.

Vinyl chloride has been associated recently with findings of angiosarcoma in animals and man. The present study examines the mortality experience of individuals occupationally exposed to vinyl chloride and lesser amounts of vinylidene chloride and other compounds. Employees were grouped into four exposure categories according to the highest levels of vinyl chloride exposure experienced for at least one month. Although no angiosarcomas were found and there were no deaths due to any liver malignancy, the observed malignancy deaths exceeded the expected among workers in the high-exposure category. Fewer than expected malignancy deaths were observed in the remaining exposure catergories.

[Dynamics of the morphological changes in a burn wound during treatment in a controlled abacterial environment].

Histological and histochemical research methods were used to examine the healing of burn wounds treated under bandage and in monitored abacterial environment (open type treatment). Biopsies of burn wounds were investigated in 40 patients. It was shown that upon the treatment in abacterial environment the wound heal 10-12 days more rapidly as compared to those treated under bandage. Upon open type treatment there was an early appearance of fine granulations with marked macrophagal and fibroblast reactions, whereas under bandage there formed edematic granulations with high content of lymphoid and plasma cells.
