On the basis of the understanding that there are common
development mechanisms for the inflammatory and immune
reactions it was established that the activity of the oxidant-
antioxidant system (OAS) correlates not only with a severity
of the inflammatory reaction but also with a degree of
immune disorders. Such disorders were studied in patients
with endogenous uveitis and with cancer of the esophagus or
uterine cervix, i.e. those nosological forms, which are
normally accompanied by OAS decompensation, which comprised
a lower activity of primary antioxidants (superoxides of
dismutase, catalase, lactoferrin, ceruloplasmin etc.) in
patients with pronounced immune disorders. Moreover, a lower
content of secondary antioxidants, like vitamin A, ascorbic
acid and tocopherol, was registered in the blood of patients
with immune disorders. The suppression of the antioxidant
system was concomitant with an essentially increased level
of lipid peroxidation in all patients. Besides, it was noted
that there were intensifying signs of immune disorders
primarily observed during irradiation chemotherapy. In this
context, a clear-cut correlation was established, in
monitoring the body immune status, between degrees of free-
radical formation and lipid peroxidation, on the one hand,
and an activity of detoxication-system antioxidants, on the
other hand,. The OAS correction by direct or indirect-action
antioxidants normally improves the clinical course of immune
impairments. The indirect-action antioxidants, e.g.
synthetic regulatory peptide "Imunofan", induce the
increasing activity of primary endogenous antioxidants. An
activation of the detoxication antioxidant system, brings
about, in such cases, a lower content of inflammation
mediators, a recovery of cell-immunity indices and lower
parameters of body auto-sensitization. Finally, the
antioxidant system in patients with chronic inflammatory or
oncological disorders, when recovered, ensures the
correction of cell immunity and cuts the number of auto-
immune reactions and of other immune disturbances.
