II. EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS
University reader, discipline: Physiology, Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timisoara PhD in Medicine, speciality: Normal and Pathological Physiology, Timisoara University Centre, topic: III. 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 tech- nique 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 Experimental aspects concerning the protective role of calcium blockers on myocardial fibre in the chron- ic cardiopathy and the immunologic particularities from the febrile syndromes at valvular patients that have I completed the immuno-blotting and immuno-enzymatic techniques (ELISA) used in the field of aller- gology. 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-pneu- mopathies, 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 cellu- larity 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 - 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.
