RESUMEN
Examined were 98 patients with chronic forms of ischemic heart disease, mainly atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis with different degrees of cardiac insufficiency. Two groups were distinguished. Patients of the first group received traditional treatment while patients of the second group received also nicotinic acid agents. It was found that inclusion of nicotinic acid in the complex treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease increased the therapeutic efficacy.

A study of the kinin and fibrinolytic systems of the blood in 280 rheumatic patients with isolated or prevailing stenosis revealed that latent forms of rheumatism were characterized by an increase of kininogenesis, reduction of kininase capacity of the blood and depression of fibrinolysis in the absence of acute-phase reactions which allows to use these data a supplementary informative test for the diagnosis of the latent course of rheumatism.

The paper is concerned with the results of quantitative studies on the sputum of 106 patients with acute pneumonia. Etiological structure of acute pneumonia, the dependence of a clinical course of disease on a sputum microflora composition type and some indices of natural resistance and immunity were shown.

In this work the data obtained in the quantitative investigations of sputum samples from 106 miners having acute pneumonia are presented. These investigations were carried out twice at the peak of the disease to determine the possible infective agent. The virological study of nasal impression smears by immunofluorescence and the serological study of paired sera made it possible to establish the viral and bacterial nature of the disease in 12% of cases. The expediency of the quantitative investigations of sputum, carried out twice, in combination with the study of the biological properties of opportunistic microorganisms was shown. Streptococcus pneumoniae proved to play the most important etiological role in the appearance of acute pneumonia in miners. This infective agent was detected in 82% of patients by the inoculation of sputum samples in "diagnostic" dilutions (10(-5) and higher). The associations of pneumococci with staphylococci, hemolytic bacteria and Neisseria were found to be capable of playing a significant role in the development of acute inflammation in pulmonary tissue, especially in those cases when these associations were isolated from highly diluted sputum (10(-5)).
