ABSTRACT
Investigation of 106 patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke is conducted. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction and the psychoemotional disturbances are revealed. Efficacy of mexiprim in the correction of the revealed psychoautonomic problems in patients with ischemic stroke is shown.

Immunoepidemiological study in groups of children of different ages was carried out. The study comprised the monthly bacteriological examination of the members of these groups and selective determination of the presence of specific meningococcal A- and C-antibodies, IgA, IgM and IgG in the blood serum, as well as the lysozyme activity of the saliva. The results thus obtained indicated that during the whole year two rises in the level of meningococcal carriership, in autumn and in spring, were registered, while the cases of meningococcal diseases were absent. The first rise was due to the influence of the conditions under which the groups had been formed, as well as to some decrease in specific immunity characteristics and nonspecific protective factors; the second rise occurred simultaneously with a considerable decrease in the content of specific meningococcal A- and O-antibodies.

Complexes of surface soluble antigens were obtained in grown meningococci of serological groups A, B and C in fluid nutrient media. In studying the chemical composition and biological properties of these complexes released of the nutrient medium components it was revealed that they consisted of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, possessed marked group-specific properties in the PHAT, were toxic (LD50 about 0.15 mg) and immunogenic.
