[Depressive disorders in gastroenterology: problems in the treatment of chronic duodenal obstruction]. / Depressivnye rasstroistva v gastroénterologii: problemy lecheniia khronicheskoi duodenal'noi neprokhodimosti.

Among 190 patients suffering from chronic duodenal obstruction (CDO) the authors identified 66 patients whose somatic disturbances were manifestations of mental disease, usually depression. They formed a section "primary functional forms of CDO" in the classification scheme. Additionally some of these cases were complicated by nonspecific lymphadenitis and entered a group of mechanical forms of CDO. The use of psychotropic drugs in both cases considerably improved the prognosis of the disease. Sensthopathic feelings in the abdomen in such cases were attributable to vegetative motor disorders of the upper portions of the gastrointestinal tract ascertained by instrumental examination.

[Certain indices of cell-mediated immunity among brucellosis patients who were vaccinated and react positively to brucellin]. / Nekotorye pokazateli kletochno-oposredovannogo immuniteta u bol'nykh brutsellezom, privitykh i polozhitel'no reagiruiushchikh na brutsellin.

A significant decrease in the absolute content of T-lymphocytes and an increase in the percentage of macrophages were revealed in patients with acute and chronic brucellosis, persons vaccinated with live brucellosis vaccine and in persons with a positive reaction to brucellin. At the peak of acute brucellosis infection and at an early period following immunization with live brucellosis vaccine a high percentage of cases showing the presence of T-lymphocytes sensitized to brucellosis antigen was observed.
