AREAS OF INTEREST IN RESEARCH
I set up the assessment technique of bronchomotive reactivity through
the administration (by inhaling) of the broncho-dilator agents, and
I am currently completing the work methodology for the assessment technique
of bronchomotive reactivity through the administration (by inhaling)
of the broncho-constrictor
agents. I have updated the standard interpretation and work techniques
of spirographic bulletins.
Study of immunologic aspects in viral hepatitis with special focus on
the implication of HLA antigens in the pathology of viral hepatitis
Experimental aspects concerning the protective role of calcium blockers
on myocardial fibre in the chronic cardiopathy and the immunologic particularities
from the febrile syndromes at valvular patients that have undergone
an operation.
I completed the immuno-blotting and immuno-enzymatic techniques (ELISA)
used in the field of allergology. The results of the research have been
used in the standardization of remedies with allergens for the desensitization
of allergic patients and for the setting up of the main antigenic fractions
from the structure of the allergens used in producing medications.
Cellular immunity at asthmatic patients compared to those with obstructive
chronic broncho-pneumopathies, in parallel with the study of ventilometric
and plethysmographic parameters
Flowcitometric study of cellularity from the broncho-alveolar lavage.
This approach of the study of cellularity from the broncho-alveolar
lavage by marking with monoclonal antibodies was a premiere in Romania.
The comparative effect of some medications at patients with broncho-pulmonary
diseases:
- the effect of Salmeterol and of Salbutamol;
- the effect of calcium blockers on Raw at asthmatic patients compared
to patients with BPOC and a group of unaffected subjects;
- the effect of inhaling cortico-therapy on symptomatology and on ventilometric
parameters at asthmatic patients in parallel with the modifications
of cellularity from the broncho-alveolar lavage;
- I presently observe the advantages of complex inhaling-preparations
(beta2-sympathomimetic and parasympatholitic) in chronic pulmonary diseases;
- I work together with the colleagues from the discipline Pneumo-phthisiology
at the standardization of the investigation algorithm in the stage diagnosis
of the bronchial allergy and of the allergic patient;
- I standardized the bronchial stimulation techniques for testing bronchial
hyper-responsiveness;
- Haematopoietic and mesenchymal stem-cell.
