[The immunological reactivity indices (the humoral component) in persons in contact with mycotoxin-contaminated food products]. / Sostoianie nekotorykh pokazatelei immunologicheskoi reaktivnosti (gumoral'nogo zvena) u lits, kontaktiruiushchikh s zagriaznennymi mikotoksinami pishchevymi produktami.

Blood serum levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE), concentration of complement components (C1-inhibitor, C3, C4, C5, C9) as well as the content of some protein fractions (transferrin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, orosomucoid, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, albumin and prealbumin) in the plasma were assayed in subjects exposed (due to their occupational necessity) to food raw materials (wheat, corn, barley, combined fodder) contaminated with mycotoxins. A total of 50 subjects, who have been working from 1 to 15 years at grain-treating factories, were investigated. It has been shown that a long-term exposure to food and fodder products containing mycotoxins induces a growth of IgE level attended by a drop in IgG content, and a decrease in the concentration of the complement components C3 and C9, transferrin and orosomucoid.

[Effect of diet and drug therapy on the rehabilitation processes in patients who have undergone radical surgery for stomach tumor]. / Vliianie dieticheskoi i lekarstvennoi terapii na protsessy reabilitatsii bol'nykh, radikal'no operirovannykh po povodu opukholi zheludka.

On the basis of the follow up of 141 patients after radical operations for gastric cancer, special diet variants have been developed with due regard for postoperative terms and the character of complications after gastric resection. Positive results of dietotherapy were recorded in 71.5% of the patients, that was evidenced by their clinical picture and laboratory data: coprological, biochemical and immunological. The condition was not changed in 15.6% of the patients, negative shifts were noted in 18 patients (12.7%), in 12 of them relapses or metastases of the tumor were recorded.

[Changes in the body immunological status of peptic ulcer patients as affected by dietotherapy]. / Izmenenie immunologicheskogo statusa organizma bol'nykh iazvennoi bolezn'iu pod vliianiem dietoterapii.

The findings are presented characterizing the immunologic status of peptic ulcer patients during dietetic treatment. The immunologic shifts detected on admission to hospital (increased reactivity of T cells to specific antigen, immunoglobulin imbalance, changed concentrations of some complement components in the blood serum) were found to normalize under the effect of diets. The authors consider that dietetic treatment should be an obligatory component of the comprehensive management of peptic ulcer patients.
