Prophylaxis of recurrences of persisting axillary lymphadenopathy

The incidence of persisting axillary lymphadenopathy has become 30 times greater for the recent 13 years. The efficiency of traditional accesses to surgical treatment of pyo-inflammatory lesions of the axillary lymph nodes still remains unsatisfactory. The selective, based on the ultrasonographic criteria, application of the laser action or a reconstructive-restorative operation allowed prevention of the recurrent pathology.     

Stimulation of arbovirus reproduction in cell cultures by hormones

The possibility of stimulation of reproduction and antigen production of arboviruses (tick-borne encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, western equine encephalomyelitis) in cell cultures (SPEV, chick embryo fibroblasts) by using various hormones (insulin, ACTH, hydrocortisone) and optimal temperatures was demonstrated. The stimulating effect depended upon the type of cell culture, virus, method of cell treatment, and manifested by a significant increase of the hemagglutinating and infectious activity of the replicating viruses. Differences in the structure of populations, biophysical and antigenic properties of the viruses associated with the conditions of their reproduction in vitro were observed.
