Effect of Hypothermic Exposure (+2°C, In Vitro) on the Radical Activity of Neutrophils

Abstract

The possibility of using the hypothermic impact (+ 2° C, in vitro) as a non-drug stimulator of cell immunity was studied. Using chemiluminescence method found that in women with physiological pregnancy the radical response of neutrophils to a foreign object enhanced after cold exposure. The mechanism of radical activity is inhibited in childbirth and the threat of premature birth. In the acute period of cold injury the immunological (radical) reactivity of neutrophils venous blood of men lowered. The restoration of adaptive mechanisms starts with treatment and require subsequent rehabilitation period. This is confirmed by the weak radical response of neutrophils to a foreign object after hypothermic exposure.
