[Immunological parallels in the use of ultraviolet irradiation of autoblood in patients with suppurative diseases of soft tissue]. / Immunologicheskie paralleli pri primenenii ul'trafioletovogo oblucheniia autokrovi u bol'nykh s gnoinymi zabolevaniiami miagkikh tkanei.

Ultraviolet irradiation of autoblood in patients with suppurative diseases of soft tissues increased the titer of specific antibacterial antibodies and the number of antibody-producing cells (APC), which was the most expressed in cases when the erythrocytes and leukocytes were exposed separately. Study of the count of APC during UV exposure showed it to increase 6-8 h after the procedure.

[Mechanisms of the structural changes in erythrocyte membranes under the action of a shift in pH]. / Nekotorye mekhanizmy strukturnykh izmenenii éritrotsitarnykh membran pri deistvii sdviga pH.

The effect of pH shifts (5--10) on erythrocyte "ghosts" has been studied using the IR spectroscopy. The process of regulation has been shown to take place within pH 7.15--8 range involving both protein (transition testified by absorption band changes 1520, 1540, 1635, 1645, 1585, 1696, 3305 CM-1) and lipid membrane components testified by absorption band splits 1745, 1470, 1380, 720 AND 1242 cm-1. The transition from a lesser to a higher regulating state of membrane structure happens unevenly, since the above changes take place within the narrow pH 7.15--8 interval, near the homeostase limit, being never observed at pH 5--7.15 or 8--10. It is supposed that the increase in regulation of both protein, phospholipid and lipid membrane fields is of phasic nature which presumably constitutes the basis for pH action mechanism as a regulation factor.
