A method of laser therapy is proposed as a stage of rehabilitation for children (220 preschool 3-6-year-olds) with chronic adenoiditis frequently ill with acute respiratory viral infection. Magnetolaser therapy (Rikta-01 unit) was given for 10 days twice a year. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by activity of lysozyme, concentration of slgA of nasal secretion, nasocytogram. A 12-month follow-up confirmed a positive effect of laser therapy on immunity of the respiratory tract and clinical symptoms with reduction in the size of hypertrophic palatine tonsil.

Children having frequent acute respiratory infections and chronic adenoiditis were given immunomodulators (ridostin, IRS-19, polyoxidonium). As a result of such prophylaxis, respiratory infections and exacerbations of chronic adenoiditis occurred in poor-health children 2-2.5 times less frequently. Their local immunity and nonspecific resistance improved. Thus, modern immunomodulators can be used in poor-health children with chronic adenoiditis to prevent acute respiratory viral infection and development of pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy as well as to treat them.

Histological sections of the thymus were studied morphometrically in 5 rhesus monkeys and 3 hamadryas baboons. The ratio of square surfaces of the cortical and cerebral substance, the percentage of Hassall's corpuscles and cellular elements (lymphocytes, stromal elements, blasts etc.) were established in the organ. Individual and species peculiarities of the structure of thymus elements were found. Less amount of parenchyma and growth of the stroma in baboons and a greater mitotic complex in rhesus monkeys show more pronounced involution processes in baboons.
