ABSTRACT
Data about the dynamic changes in the peripheral blood cellular composition, a correlation between the quantities of circulating polinuclei and mononuclei of the blood and the activity of myeloperoxidase in granulocytes of Turkmen children, aged 4 to 16, with penetrating ocular injuries are presented in the paper with regard for age and ecological peculiarities of the region of residence.

The results of cytochemical identification of acid phosphatase in the neutrophils of mice, guinea pigs and golden hamsters inoculated with leishmanial promastigotes of different species and virulence and also of people vaccinated against zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis are presented. The reversible increase of the enzyme activity in host's blood neutrophils and its dependence on parasite species and virulence are shown.

Electrochemical method has been developed for measuring human salivary peroxidase. Salivary peroxidase levels were measured in donors in various hours of the day, in girls in various periods of the cycle, and in myocardial infarction patients. The results may be used to develop rapid methods for assessment of ovarian functional activity and for prediction of myocardial infarction outcome. Electrochemical analysis productivity is 360 samples per hour, the minimal peroxidase concentration detectable is 5.10(-12) M.

A survey of literature on modelling cutaneous leishmaniasis of man (common and metastatic) on some lines of mice, guinea pigs, golden hamsters infected with different species of Leishmania is given. Merits and demerits of each described model are pointed out.
