[The cytomorphological characteristics of hemopoiesis and of the organs of immunogenesis in exposure to thymus and bone marrow peptides during hematopoietic depression]. / Tsitomorfologicheskaia kharakteristika gemopoéza i organov immunogeneza pri vozdeistvii peptidov timusa i kostnogo mozga v usloviiakh depressii krovetvoreniia.

The effects of thymic peptide (thymalin), bone marrow peptide (haemalin) and a complex compound (thymohaemin) on the haematopoiesis and immunity were studied in the experimental model of the induced haematopoiesis depression. Lymphopoiesis stimulation in the bone marrow was provoked by thymalin and granulopoiesis stimulation by haemalin. Simultaneously the restoration of a number of both T- and B-lymphocytes in the thymus was observed. Thymohaemin resulted in the restoration of practically all peripheral blood and bone marrow indexes as well as content of T- and B-lymphocytes in both central and peripheral immunogenetic organs. Likewise the use of the thymus and bone marrow peptide preparations facilitated the restoration of non-specific resistance which was evaluated by means of an integral index--lysosomal cation test. The results allow us to recommend the above preparations for a clinical trial in the haematopoiesis depletion.

[Effect of the autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood on the homeostatic indices of surgical patients]. / Vliianie autotransfuzii UF-obluchennoi krovi na nekotorye pokazateli gomeostaza khirurgicheskikh bol'nykh.

The investigation of parameters of hemograms, biochemical composition of blood, hemostasis, certain indicators of the immunological status in transfusing UV-irradiated autologous blood the authors made a conclusion that this variant of autohemotransfusion exerted a specific effect on the patient's organism. It depended on the scheme of irradiation of the blood, number of sessions of autotransfusions and intervals between them.
