Relevance. The relevance of protection against SARS-Cov-19 by means of BCG vaccination is important not only with respect to coronavirus infections. That issue should be considered in light of overall biological and immunological pillars (innate immunity system).Aims. To consider the role of the lipid components and certain vaccines in stimulation of the innate immunity system, in particular, in induction of the heterogenous immune response and protection against various pathogens, including Covid-19, based on analysis of known scientific facts.Conclusions. The relevant database has been analyzed (51 scientific publications), including studies with application of various methods from immunological tests (in vitro and in vivo) to epidemiological trials. The analysis revealed the meaningful potential of heterogenous protection against various infections by means of BCG immunization, and according to some data, measles vaccine capacity. Simultaneously on the basis of performed analysis, the following issues that so far remained unclear have been identified: what is the duration of heterogenous protection; what is the optimal timing for BCG administration as related to the outbreak period of dangerous infection for the sake of decrease of its harm. The analyzed materials of that review substantiate the rationale for further continuation of the scientific studies and possibility for application of already accumulated data in order to protect, primarily the risk groups, against dangerous infections, especially in the timeframe when no relevant vaccines are available. Besides, the conducted review serves as the leverage for expected development of the new preventive medicine dimension – the systemic vaccine prophylaxis.

The analysis of the epidemiological situation of vaccine-preventable infections in the Republic of Dagestan. The introduction of mass vaccine prophylaxis had a positive effect on reducing the incidence of infections such as poliomyelitis, diphtheria, tetanus, rubella, and viral hepatitis B in the Republic of Dagestan. However, despite the ongoing routine immunization of the population for “controlled” infections, the incidence of measles and parotitis infection remains high in 2018, this is due to an increase in the number of people who refuse to receive preventive vaccinations, in most cases, for religious reasons.

Prevention of exacerbations of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) directly affects the outcome of the disease and belongs to the priority areas of pulmonology of early childhood age. Seasonal immunoprophylaxis of the severe course of respiratory syncytial viral infection (RSVI) with palivizumab and vaccine prophylaxis of pneumococcal and hemophilic infections in children who have formed BPD has been established to allow to reduce the frequency of hospitalization, resuscitation and death. The authors present their own data on results of passive and active immunization of BPD children against pathogens of the respiratory spectrum.

Hereditary spherocytosis is the most common cause of hemolytic anemia due to defects in the blood cell membrane. Partial splenic embolization (PSE) might significantly improve the effects of hemolysis in HS patients while preserving partial splenic function. However, due to the poor controllability of the scope of interventional embolization, PSE in pediatric HS had not been widely studied and applied. The present study is the first to propose that optimized PSE procedure to treat pediatric HS patients, which named super-selective partial splenic embolization (SPSE). We investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of SPSE. This study was conducted by retrospectively reviewing clinical data from HS patients treated by surgical treatments who were diagnosed at children’s hospital of Chongqing medical university from January 2015 to December 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to treatment preference: SPSE (16 patients) group and total splenectomy (41 patients) group. The data were analyzed such as preoperative and postoperative leukocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, bilirubin, immunological indicators, and postoperative complications. The success rate of two groups were 100%. The improvement of hemolysis in patients after SPSE was not different from that after total splenectomy, and the effect can be maintained for a long time. The average hemoglobin value increased significantly from 6.97g/dL before SPSE to 12.2g/dL after SPSE (P=0.000). SPSE was performed without any serious complications. SPSE is a safe and effective treatment for moderate or severe HS in children.
