[Wound healing as affected by constitutional immunity factors]. / Zazhivlenie ran v zavisimosti ot faktorov konstitutsional'nogo immuniteta.

The authors examined 52 patients with gunshot wounds of various localization. Besides the type of wound healing, they determined the ABO system blood groups, the value of phagocytosis intensity and the value of connective tissue saturation with ascorbic acid, which, as it was shown earlier, are unrelated to the current condition of the wound process and may serve for predicting the risk of wound purulent complications. The distribution features of the studied values in patients with gunshot wounds were compared with those in individuals with gunshot-inflicted wounds. It is shown that such signs of constitutional immunity as the B blood group, weak phagocytosis intensity, and low saturation of the connective tissue with ascorbic acid are risk factors of purulent complications in both traumatic and gunshot wounds.

[Normal variability of the immuno-physiological reactivity of the human body and its role in wound healing]. / Normal'naia izmenchivost' immunofiziologicheskoi reaktivnosti organizma cheloveka i ee rol' v zazhivlenii ran.

The authors studied the influence of constitutionally conditioned peculiarities of reactivity of an organism on the differences in the wound healing in 226 surgical patients with the extensive wounds and in 274 healthy subjects from the aboriginal population of Siberia, Middle Asia and Transcaucasian region.
