Abstract
A cytochemical investigation was made of the state of the phagocytes and lymphocytes exposed to the action of a foreign body under septic and aseptic conditions. One of the main mechanisms of the development of an inflammatory-destructive process in the lungs is by local and systemic changes in the ratio between the numbers of phagocytes and lymphocytes, disturbance of the permeability of their lysosomal membranes, and an increase in the number of destroyed macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, all of which can be regarded as indices of cellular regression.
