  • Title: [Wound healing as affected by constitutional immunity factors].
    Author: Shaposhnikov IuG, Tabatadze KG, Zhukova OV, Kondrat'eva IE, Filianin AM, Rychkov IuG.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1991 Jul; (7):23-7. PubMed ID: 1921192.
    Abstract:
    The authors examined 52 patients with gunshot wounds of various localization. Besides the type of wound healing, they determined the ABO system blood groups, the value of phagocytosis intensity and the value of connective tissue saturation with ascorbic acid, which, as it was shown earlier, are unrelated to the current condition of the wound process and may serve for predicting the risk of wound purulent complications. The distribution features of the studied values in patients with gunshot wounds were compared with those in individuals with gunshot-inflicted wounds. It is shown that such signs of constitutional immunity as the B blood group, weak phagocytosis intensity, and low saturation of the connective tissue with ascorbic acid are risk factors of purulent complications in both traumatic and gunshot wounds.
