The paper analyzes the results of the treatment of 26 patients with atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower extremities, which has been performed to make an intensive hypolipidemic preparation for an operation. The comprehensive approach based on the combination of medication (nicotinic acid, and its derivatives, cholestyramine, and SKH -2K charcoal hemoperfusion ) and efferent therapy reduced the plasma levels of total cholesterol by 27%, triglycerides to 48%, low density lipoprotein cholesterol to 40%, and increased high density lipoprotein cholesterol up to 72%. The similar course therapy may be repeatedly used in a follow-up of this group of patients.

The paper is concerned with the results of assessment of the effect of immunosorption on a course of bronchial asthma in 10 patients with hypersensitifity to the domestic dust allergen and in 3 patients with hyperreactivity to the allergen of timothy pollen. Positive changes in the clinical status were also reflected in function of external respiration. A study of the humoral immunity revealed a decrease in the IgE level and an increase in the IgG level in a long-term postsorption period that might also provide for clinical remission of the disease. A decrease in skin hyperreactivity in the intracutaneous test was noted. A 6-month study of a course of the disease was indicative of a good therapeutic efficacy of the method of extracorporal immunosorption.
