[Nonspecific allergy indices in oral sensitization by chicken egg white]. / Nespetsificheskie pokazateli allergii pri oral'noi sensibilizatsii belkom kurinogo iaitsa.

Some indices of nonspecific reactivity: the number of cyclic immunological complexes, titer of antibodies, activity of alkaline and acid phosphatases, alanine aminotranspherase, mitochondrial liver H(+)-ATPase, content of glutathione ceruloplasmin transferrin are stated to change in the model of food anaphylaxis in 37 guinea pigs, 26 rats and 12 rabbits orally sensitized with hen egg protein and they are estimated prior to and after the allergy development.

[Circulating immune complexes in the blood and anterior chamber fluid in patients with glaucoma and diabetic angioretinopathy complicated by myopia and senile cataract]. / Tsirkuliruiushchie immunnye kompleksy v syvorotke krovi i vlage perednei kamery glaza u bol'nykh glaukomoi, diabeticheskoi angioretinopatiei, oslozhnennoi blizorukost'iu i vozrastnoi kataraktoi.

Circulating immune complexes (CIC) in the serum and anterior eye chamber were simultaneously measured by 4% polyethylene glycol in 23 ophthalmologic patients. The patients with noncomplicated cataracts were found to have elevated serum levels of CIC (175 +/- 8.1 opt. units, p less than 0.001), whereas the patients with glaucoma, diabetic angioretinopathy, and complicated myopia had even higher CIC levels in the serum (247 +/- 7.1 opt. units, p less than 0.001) together with the increased CIC levels in the anterior eye chamber fluid (29.43 +/- 0.88 opt. units, p less than 0.001), which fact is indicative of the augmentation of the autoimmune component it the progress of the dystrophic changes in the eye tissues.
