The character and interrelation of peroxide lipid oxidation changes and immune profile in patients with acute pneumonia

Abstract

The character and connection between changes of peroxide lipid oxidation and immune profile were studied in 325 patients with acute pneumonia in different courses of the disease. It was found that inflammatory process in pulmonary tissue was accompanied with expressed intensification of peroxide lipid oxidation processes, with the decrease of the antiperoxide protection level, and immunodeficiency state formation. The most expressed secondary immunodeficiency corresponded to the highest peroxide lipid oxidation level and the considerable decrease of antiperoxide protection. The author presumed that peroxide lipid oxidation processes and connected changes of peroxide protection lead to universal membrane pathology during the abundance of the primary factor and the lack of the latter are the most common mechanisms of the inflammation in the lung tissue. The authors suppose that the study of the peroxide lipid oxidation character in connection with changes of other organs and systems allows to outlying the essence of pathological process in the pulmonary tissue, to estimate mechanisms of reparation (the sanogenesis) of the morphological structure and the function of the lung, and to elaborate measures for correction of the revealed dysfunction.
