[The efficacy of membrane-stabilizing therapy in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis]. / Effektivnost' membranostabiliziruiushchei terapii u bol'nykh khronicheskim obstruktivnym bronkhitom.

A membrane stabilizing effect of endobronchial laser therapy and antioxidative drugs piracetam and solcoseril was studied in 83 patients with chronic bronchitis. Malonic dialdehyde was measured to evaluate effects of this treatment on cellular and humoral immunity, blood coagulation and lipid peroxidation. It was found that the addition of membrane stabilizers to standard therapy of chronic bronchitis lowered malonic dialdehyde concentrations while the addition of the stabilizers and endobronchial laser therapy relieved clinical symptoms earlier, improved parameters of immunity, hemostasis and lipid peroxidation.

[Use of cryo-apheresis in the treatment of patients with cortisol-dependent bronchial asthma]. / Opyt primeneniia krioafereza pri lechenii bol'nykh kortizolzavisimoi bronkhial'noi astmoi.

An attempt of cryo-apheresis treatment of cortisol dependent bronchial asthma demonstrated high efficacy of this method: the majority of the patients could do without glucocorticoid maintenance, recovered working ability. Remission duration considerably increased.

[The clinico-immunological efficacy of dioxidine in the combined treatment of acute abscessing pneumonias in persons who abuse alcohol]. / Kliniko-immunologicheskaia éffektivnost' dioksidina v kompleksnom lechenii ostrykh abstsediruiushchikh pnevmonii u lits, zloupotrebliaiushchikh alkogolem.

The results of clinico-immunologic studies of the efficacy of dioxidin in persons abusing alcohol have demonstrated that unlike antibiotics, dioxidin does not provoke any immunosuppressive disorders. It is recommended that dioxidin should be included into multimodality treatment of patients with acute lung abscesses, abusing alcohol.

[Clinico-immunologic effectiveness of chlorophyllypt in the treatment of acute destructive pneumonia]. / Kliniko-immunologicheskaia éffektivnost' khlorofillipta pri lechenii ostroi destruktivnoi pnevmonii.

An attempt has been made to replace antibiotics by chlorophyllypt (0.25 per cent solution in physiological sodium chloride solution administered by intravenous drip). The clinical, laboratory and X-ray parameters in 22 patients treated by this drug normalized in earlier terms than those in 19 patients who received the traditional antibiotic therapy. Chlorophyllypt was found to have the immunocorrective effect manifested by the normalization of the T-lymphocyte number and their theophylline-resistant subpopulation. No such an effect was achieved when broad-action antibiotics were used.

[The efficacy of the natural antibacterial preparation chlorophyllypt in the combined treatment of acute lung abscesses]. / Effektivnost' prirodnogo antibakterial'nogo preparata khlorofillipta v kompleksnoi terapii ostrykh abstsessov legkikh.

The complexity of the treatment of acute suppurative pulmonary diseases has been aggravated recently by the growth of microbial resistance to antibiotics and enhancement of the allergy incidence among the population. This circumstance restricts the use of antibiotic on a broad scale in clinical practice and makes the researchers go in studies of adequate substitutes. In the given case, use was made of chlorophyllipt. It was given to patients by intravenous drip in the form of a 0.25% solution based on saline twice a day. To increase local deposition of the administered antimicrobial drug in the affected area, interstitial electrophoresis was employed. In the patients' group on chlorophyllipt, the clinico-laboratory and x-ray parameters returned to normal earlier. Chlorophyllipt was noted to produce an immunocorrective action characterized by the normalization of the absolute count and percentage of E-RFC and theophylline-resistant-RFC. This action could not be observed in the patients' group receiving only antibiotics.
