ABSTRACT
The experience with the use of a cryosurgical method in the out-patient treatment of 3112 children of different age with congenital vascular formations was summarized. In the total structure of neoplasms, capillary hemangioma was predominant. The original apparatus was used with exposure of from 10 to 45 sec. The results of follow-up of the patients for 2 to 5 years are presented. A good cosmetic and functional result was noted in 96.2% of patients.

Cellular and humoral immunity was studied in 300 patients with acute appendicitis at the age of from 1 to 14 years. In all the patients, the secondary immunodeficient state was documented, which was the most pronounced at day 3 after the operation. In children after appendectomy, the inclusion into the complex of measures of the preparations increasing the immunologic reactivity of an organism is indicated.

Blood serum of oncologic patients due to immunoglobulin involved in its composition, activates glycolysis in the soluble fraction of muscles when using starch, glycogen and glucose as substrates. The activation is registered under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. When elucidating the immunoglobulin effect in a glycolytic chain under aerobic conditions it is shown that its activating effect in the incomplete incubation system is manifested with such glycolysis substrates as fructose-6-phosphate and 2-phosphoglyceric acid. Glycolysis activation with serum is insignificant or absent at all with the presence of glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-diphosphate, 3-phosphoglyceric aldehide, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, phosphoenolpyruvic acid, sodium pyruvate. Immunoglobulin isolated from the blood serum of oncologic patients does not affect the activity of purified preparations of hexokinase, glycerinaldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. When using the air as a gas medium lactate dehydrogenase is activated by immunoglobulin. Lactate dehydrogenase activity under aerobic and anaerobic conditions is essentially lower than in the case when the air serves as a gas medium.
