title: [Changes in the activity of the mononuclear phagocytic system in inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis, as evidenced by radionuclide study].
abstract: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the activity of mononuclear phagocytes in inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis at various predominant sites. The mononuclear phagocytic system was studied using labeled compounds, which determined the functional activity of reticular endothelial elements in all tissues of an organism. The analysis of the results of studying the activity of the mononuclear phagocytic system leads to the conclusion that virtually good agreement of the values of the parameters under study in the groups of patients supports the commonness of the processes of development of inflammatory reactions and atherogenesis.
