ABSTRACT
Brain injury (BI) was induced in 9 rabbits either after cranial trepanation or through graded blow. Cell-mediated immunity to brain autoantigens in the automix-culture test and the production of specific antibodies on soluble protein antigen immunization were studied. Experiment BI was not found to result in the emergence of the lymphocytes capable of mediate cellular autoimmune responses. However, there were increases in the nonspecific lymphocytic sensitivity to the T-lymphocytic mitogen ConA and in a humoral immune response, suggesting the activation of T- and B-cell immunity following BI.

For the first time a complex investigation of the Kallikrein-Kinin system of blood has been carried out in 145 patients with appendicular peritonitis and 27 patients with acute noncomplicated destructive appendicitis. The age of the patients was from 11 months up to 14 years. An analysis of the results obtained has shown the level of activation of kininogenesis and type of its reacting to correlate with and to objectively reflect the degree of the pathological process and the patient's state. It is considered to be an informative diagnostic test.

Congenital spastic torticollis was surgically treated in 98 children. An original orthopedic device was used in 31 children. A comparative analysis of the results depending on the kind of immobilization and means of correction in 79 children showed the device to provide good results and to shorten the time of the treatment.

The article is devoted to a complex and scantily explored problem of treatment of patients with a severe cranio-cerebral injury in the acute period. The analysis of a considerable material (129 cases) showed the early and valuable treatment of fractures of skeletal bones to have favourable effect upon the course of the traumatic disease of the brain and to diminish lethality and invalidism.

The work is grounded on the results of clinical observations over 154 children with renal injuries. It has been proved experimentally that in organ-sparing operations catgut is the best hemostatic material, the pararenal fat rates next to it. Muscular tissue is less suitable for hemostasis, as in the late postoperative periods, following its use, sclerosis, pyelonephritis and atrophy of the injured kidney are likely to develop.

The work deals with "delayed" cranioplasty in children with severe craniocerebral trauma employing a bone graft preserved under the skin or fascia of the thigh. On grounds of a morphological examination of bone grafts the most favourable terms for performing cranioplasty are indicated.

Based on an analysis of 68 intestinal resections in children, it is considered that functional deviations in the digestive tract activity and other systems and organs, observed in the immediate postoperative period and in later terms, necessitate the utilization of parenteral feeding. Therefore, children subjected to the bowel resection should be kept under a dispensary control and checked regularly to conduct prophylactic and therapeutic measures.
