[Autologous skin flora studied to determine the active areas in acute myocardial infarct]. / Izuchenie autoflory kozhi dlia opredeleniia aktivnykh zon pri ostrom infarkte miokarda.

The active points of the autologous skin flora (Botkin-Erb and sei-shu) were evaluated in 36 patients with myocardial infarction. It was established that there was an increase of the number of microbial cells in patients with macrofocal infarction in the Botkin-Erb and sei-shu points while in patients with microfocal myocardial infarction on changes were observed only in the Botkin-Erb point.

[Diagnostic significance of immunoglobulins in infectious allergic bronchial asthma]. / Diagnosticheskoe znachenie immunoglobulinov u bol'nykh s infektsionno-allergicheskoi bronkhial'noi astmoi.

In 100 patients with infectious allergic bronchial asthma the levels of IgM. IgG and IgA were determined by Mancini's method and the levels of IgE, tissue and microbial antibodies by the Prausnitz - Küstner test before and after combined treatment carried out under conditions of the microclimate of the salt mines in the village of Solotvino. The data on the content of immunoglobulins in the blood serum allowed the authors to establish 3 types of immediate hypersensitivity. THe decreased content of IgM in the blood serum indirectly revealed the role of immune complexes in the pathogenesis of infectious allergic bronchial asthma. The high content of IgE suggested that atopy could take some part in the infectious process.
