[Nonspecific resistance of the body to transcranial electric stimulation in the analgesia regimen]. / Nespetsificheskaia rezistentnost' organizma pri transkranial'nom élektricheskom vozdeistvii vrezhime analgezii.

The authors studied the level of proteins in the acute phase of inflammation and the level of glucocorticoid hormones, the leukocyte composition, the functional activity of the peripheral blood phagocytes, and the body temperature in rabbits under normal conditions and in subcutaneous turpentine injection in transcranial electric stimulation in the analgesia regimen. Changes of the studied parameters and activation of the mechanisms of the organism's nonspecific resistance occurred on a model of aseptic inflammation. It is suggested that endogenous opioid peptides play a significant role in these changes.

[Reaction of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction by leukocytes from patients with cancer of the lungs]. / Reaktsiia vosstanovleniia nitrosinego tetrazolia leikotsitami u bol'nykh rakom legkogo.

The investigation of 22 patients with lung cancer has shown that they have elevated indices of the nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and lower potentials of bactericidal activity of the cells due to the inhibiting action of tumor tissues.
