ABSTRACT
A prospective longitudinal controlled investigation of 189 patients with secondary diffuse peritonitis was performed. A correlation between the levelof interleuikin-6 of peritoneal exudate, the severity of the patients' state, the number of complications and outcome of the course of the disease was established. The maximal number of complications and unfavorable outcomes falls on the peak value ofinterleuikin-6.

The effects of an intravenously infused biological inhibitor of toxic oligopeptides (blood alpha-, beta-globulins) were studied on the rate burn surface epithelization, the levels of primary, secondary and end products of lipid peroxidation in different periods after experimental thermal injury. The agent was shown to accelerate the epithelization of a burn wound, to be able to lower the levels of molecular products of lipid peroxidation.
