[Thymalin as a modulator of immunogenesis and hemostasis].

Studies made in 30 patients with periodontosis have shown that thymaline improves the general health status of patients, thereby promoting the normalization of cellular and, to a lesser degree, humoral immunity. At the same time the drug normalizes blood coagulation, the total and Hageman factor-dependent fibrinolysis. It is concluded that thymaline is a modulator of the immunogenesis and hemostasis.

[The effect of selenium on free-radical oxidation processes in the bone regenerate after a fracture].

The paper presents the results of examining the central part of the rat mandible for a month after its fracture. The rate of free radical oxidation was estimated by the levels of diene conjugates (DC), malonic dialdehyde (MDA) and by the activity of selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase (GPO). The findings suggest that there are profound injury-induced changes in free radical oxidation and antioxidative defense. The levels of DC and MDA showed the maximum upward change as a double-peaked curve and longer restoration to the level seen in control animals. These rats had the minimum enhanced GPO activity. In the animals receiving intragastric selenium methionine or selenium electrophoresis applied to the site of mandible fracture, alterations in DC and MDA were less pronounced and GPO showed a higher activity.
