[Monitoring the chemiluminescence of leukocytes in suppurative surgical infections]. / Monitoring khemiliuminestsentsii leikotsitov pri gnoinoi khirurgicheskoi infektsii.

The authors suggest that analysis of chemiluminescence of patient's blood leukocytes be used for monitoring the status of surgical patients. Chemiluminescence value on the 15th min starting from the onset of phagocytosis may reflect the neutrophil activation. Monitoring of the status of patients with purulent surgical diseases has shown that a sluggish course of the inflammatory processes is related to inadequate functional activity of the leukocytes, and temporary activation of the neutrophils is recorded in 83% of cases when the patient's status improves: either initially in case of an acute course, or in late periods if the disease course is protracted.

[Intravascular laser irradiation of blood in the treatment of patients with lung abscess]. / Vnutrisosudistoe lazernoe obluchenie krovi v lechenii bol'nykh s abstsessami legkikh.

Intravascular blood laser irradiation has been introduced into a multimodality treatment of pulmonary abscesses in 47 patients. Intracavitary laser irradiation of the abscess or pleural empyema was performed in 10 cases. A suggested detoxication and immunostimulation related to the laser therapy was confirmed. The highest efficacy of the treatment was found for chronic pulmonary abscesses, the least one in decompensation associated with multiorgan failure.
