[Antibodies against calcium-regulating hormones in infectious-allergic forms of bronchial asthma].

Antibodies to calcitonin, parathyroid hormone and cortisol are detected in acute stage of infection-caused bronchial asthma. The appearance of antibodies is paralleled by marked hypercalcaemia. The antibodies may bind excessive hormones in the blood, preventing further hormonal imbalance. Ten-day treatment with glucocorticoids decreased the amount of antibodies possibly due to normalization of hormonal secretion and restoration of their balance. As a result, calcium blood levels returned to normal.

[Specific variability in the number of cells with X-chromatin in short-term buccal epithelium cultures from women following exposure to hormones at different phases in their individual diurnal biorhythm].

Changes in the number of cells with X- and K-chromatin were studied in the buccal epithelium of 4 women in vivo for 29 h, every 2--4 h, and similarly in cultures (3 h) with and without any hormone: ACTH, insulin, thyroxin. The biorhythm of the cells with X-chromatin (established by Kanyuka in 1973) both in vivo and ie vitro within the range of from 44 to 340 0/00 per 24 h was confirmed; individual variability of the mean heterochromatin index value (X-HClm) was revealed in vitro with and without any hormones. Cell incubation with hormones at the time of minimal X-HCl in vivo led to increase in the number of cells with X-chromatin within 3 h from 50 to 240 0/00, whereas incubation at the time of maximal X-HCl in vivo--to reduction from 190 to 70 0/00. It is suggested that the specific response to the hormones is preceded by the nonspecific tissue response, determined by its condition at the time of action (by the individual X-HCl biorhythm phase) and realized in the systemic reconstruction of the number of cells at various mitotic cycle phases. Stereotypic reaction was expressed in the changes in character of the nuclear chromatin sondensation; these processes were reversible.

[Leukocyte elastase in blood plasma from tuberculosis patients and its role in disturbances of blood coagulation regulatory processes].

UNLABELLED: 53 patients with lung tuberculosis were divided in 3 groups in accordance with severity of disease. Leukocyte elastase, cationic proteins in neutrophils, activities of alpha 1-proteinase and alpha 2-macroglobulin were determined in patients' plasma. Thromboelastographic, coagulating, fibrinolytic indices, and antithrombin III activity were also determined in 28 patients of all 3 groups. Results demonstrated the high level of leukocyte elastase (6-fold more than normal) in plasma of patients with acute tuberculosis process. This group of patients demonstrated activation of intravascular coagulation proceeded on the background of significant decrease (up to 60%) of AT III activity. CONCLUSION: Acuity and severity of tuberculosis process in lung may be characterized by high activity of leukocyte elastase. Degranulating activity of neutrophils and releasing of elastase are the reason of AT III deficiency and increasing of intravascular coagulating activity in tuberculosis patients.
