[Effect of regional (wound) revaccination with tetanus anatoxin on the functional activity of immunocompetent cells in the region].

The study made with the use of complex methods established that the local (wound) application of tetanus toxoid rapidly made the manifestation of the lysosomal apparatus more pronounced, increased the oxidizing activity (determined in the nitro blue tetrazolium test) and phagocytic activity of the mononuclear phagocytizing system in the wound and in the regional lymph nodes. The wound application of tetanus toxoid significantly increased blast transformation of T lymphocytes in guinea pigs simultaneously with tetanus wound infection. The study confirmed the pathogenetic expediency of the proposed method for the stimulation of anti-tetanus immunity by the application of tetanus toxoid on the wound which specifically inhibited the primary stage of the infectious process.

[Eremomycin in the treatment of antibiotic-associated colitis in golden hamsters].

The efficacy of eremomycin, a new glycopeptide antibiotic, was studied on a model of antibiotic-associated colitis in golden hamsters. The colitis was induced by intraperitoneal or intragastric administration of lincomycin. In a dose of 100 mg/kg administered orally once a day for 5 days eremomycin protected the animals from the lincomycin-induced colitis: some animals survived, the others died in later periods. When the animals were infected with a pathogenetic strain of Clostridium difficile followed by exposure to lincomycin the use of eremomycin produced the similar effect.

Hyperventilation and inhibitory synapses.

Injection of a subconvulsive dose of strychnine (which blocked the inhibitory synapses) increases respiratory muscle activity evoked by stimulation of a sciatic nerve as well as by inhalation of hypercapnic gas mixture. Thus the inhibitory synapses prevent an excessive hyperventilation.

[Development of an accelerated method of determining the antibiotic sensitivity of Cl. perfringens type A].

An express method for determination of antibiotic sensitivity in the strains of Cl. perfringens of type A using Soviet dry nutrient media and antibiotics is proposed. The criteria for estimation of the level of the antibiotic sensitivity of the causative agent of gas gangrene in short periods on the basis of comparison of the data of the antibiotic agar diffusion procedure and the antibiotic MIC were worked out. Twelve antibiotics and 45 collection strains of Cl. perfringens of type A were used in the experiment. The antibiotic agar diffusion method with the use of the nutrient media, microbial load and cultivation conditions developed by the authors is recommended for tentative determination of the antibiotic sensitivity in Cl. perfringens of type A for 4 hours. The use of the agar diffusion method and determination of the antibiotic MIC provided complete estimation of tha antibiotic sensitivity of Cl. perfringens of type A within not more than 24 hours.

[Hyperventilation and inhibitory synapses].

Injection of subconvulsive doses of strychnine blocking the inhibitory synapses significantly increases the reflex activity of the respiratory muscle evoked by stimulation of the sciatic nerve as well as by inhalation of hypercapnic gas mixture. Thus the inhibitory synapses prevent the extreme hypocapnia evoked by hyperventilation.

[Transplacental blastomogenic effect of p-hydroxyphenyl lactic acid].

Transplacental administration of tyrosine metabolite p-hydroxyphenyl lactic acid having blastomogenic activity induced development of malignant and benign neoplasms (leukemias and lymphosarcomas, adenomas and pulmonary carcinoma, hepatomas, papillomas, and cancer of the urinary bladder and other tumours) in progeny of CC57BR and C57BL mouse strains, in 88 and 78% of cases, respectively. The number of neoplasms was significantly higher, than in the control, they appeared earlier and were of more malignant character. The role of endogenous blastomogenic substances in the development of leukemias in the newborn and yound children is discussed.

[Improving tetanus prevention in the Krasnodar area taking the current epidemic situation into account].

An increase of percentage of elderly persons among those who fell ill with tetanus (70%) was noted against a sharp reduction of tetanus incidence under the effect of mass active immunization against this disease. A study of immunity in older and elderly individuals showed the percentage of immune persons among them to be rather low (48.8--55.6%). Due to difficulty of elderly individuals embracement by vaccination the authors suggest a single immunization scheme with a double toxoid dose (20 BU) followed by revaccination with 10 BU in one year. A total of 21 472 persons were placed under observation. The suggested immunization scheme was harmless, promoted stimulation of antitetanus immunity in persons vaccinated earlier; as to unvaccinated persons--it created a favourable immunological preparedness for revaccination, permitting to do without any antitetanus serum in case of trauma.

[Relative stability of the central mechanisms that determine the depth and frequency of respiration].

Not only an intensified respiration, but also an increase in inspiratory discharges can be caused by hypercapnia in vagotomized cats. With the deepening of anesthesia an increase of the inspiratory discharges persists, whereas an increased frequency of respiration disappears. This testifies to the presence of two different central mechanisms for the regulation of the rate and depth of respiration; the first is subject to the suprabulbar influences more than the second.

[Extravagal respiratory reflex from pulmonary nociceptors].

A restricted damage of the lung parenchyma before vagotomy evokes an increase of inspiratory discharges of the diaphragm and an increase of the rate of respiration. Similar damage in vagotomized animals evokes only an increase of inspiratory discharges. The rate of respiration does not alter at all or changes insignificantly. An increase of the depth of respiration evoked by the lung nociceptors innervated by the extravagal afferents is of great importance because the lung ventilation is best provided by deep respiration. Probably not only the afferent fibers of the vagus nerves, but also the extravagal lung afferents must be taken into consideration in analysis of the relationship between the rate and depth of lung ventilation, particularly under pathological conditions.

[Representation of the phrenic nerve in the cerebral cortex].

Electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve gives rise to early (with latency of 8--12 msec) and late (with latency of 30--40 msec) surface-positive potentials in the contralateral sensory-motor cortex of cats. The early potentials occur only in two discrete areas of the rostral part of the posterior sigmoid gyrus: just rostromedial to the post-cruciate dimple and at the lateral tip of the cruciate sulcus. In contrast to the early potentials, the late ones can be recorded not only from the whole surface of the posterior sigmoid gyrus but also from the anterior sigmoid gyrus. The early potentials presumably appear on stimulation of group I muscle afferents. It is possible that impulses reaching the cerebral cortex from the phrenic nerve participate in provocation of the sensation of breathlessness.
