ABSTRACT
Possible determination of silicotuberculosis activity with various clinico-laboratory, roentgenological, biochemical and immunological procedures was analyzed by the materials on observation of patients with silicotuberculosis. The authors considered 117 observations relating to 88 male and 29 female patients aged 43 to 67 years. High informative capacity of the complex investigation including determination of gamma-globulin levels in blood serum, the albumin-globulin coefficient, the absolute count of lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes and lymphocyte migration inhibition in the test with tuberculin before and after the provocative tuberculin test was shown.

Experimentally on dogs the authors have elaborated a new method of treatment of postresection wound surface of the liver, spleen and pancreas by using a heated head of an electrothermocoagulator with subsequent sealing with BF-glue. The application of the method concerned allow secure hermetization of the wound surface. Thi method is insignificantly traumatic and is followed by no complications. Tissue responses to thermocoagulation and BF-glue anr not markedly pronounced. The method suggested by the authors seems to be advantageous for the clinical practice.
