Fibrinolytic system, immune reactivity and isoelectric focusing of serum albumin were examined in 94 patients exhibiting combination of obstructive lung disease (chronic obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma) with atherosclerosis. Plasminogen activator showed discrete activity, the discreteness being less in respiratory distress of the I degree but higher in the distress of the II and III degree. Relative number of E-RFC and monocytes expressing receptors to IgM and IgG Fc-fragment decreased. Percentage of EAC-RFC rose. Serum albumin fractions changed pH range due to modification of albumin molecules resultant from forming complexes with fibrinogen degradation products. Concentration of the latter under conditions of respiratory distress induced by obstructive lung diseases associated with atherosclerosis substantially exceeded the standard levels.

Selected parametres reflecting cellular and humoral immunity were analyzed in 98, 10 year-old children, who had been hospitalized during first 2 years of life because of bronchitis. In this group, 46 children suffered from obstructive bronchitis and 52 from other types of bronchitis. Serum immunoglobulins, complement components, and antiproteolytic factor levels, T and B lymphocytes counts, leukocyte migration inhibition, and skin tests to PHA and Polyvaccine were compared and analyzed in relation to bronchial obstruction and allergic symptoms in early childhood. The results obtained did not show any significant difference when the group with obstructive type of bronchitis was compared to the rest of children studied. Some differences (increase of the percentage of EAC-FRC and decrease of the levels of the antiproteolytic factors) were noted in relation to allergic symptoms.
