Abstrakt: It is known, that psychophysical stress causes some changes in distribution and activity of many components of the immune system. The research was aimed at examination the influence of different military service conditions on some neutrophil functions. In this study granulocyte chemiluminescence both without stimulation and after stimulation with fMLP, PMA and zymosan was evaluated. In addition, the expression of surface adhesion molecules--CD11b on circulating granulocytes was examined. The studied group consisted of 20 soldiers from an assault unit (group A) and 20 soldiers from a support unit (group B), the age ranged from 18 to 23 years. The examinations were conducted at the beginning of the basic training and after the 8 weeks period. In group A the following results were obtained: a significant increase (p < 0.001) in granulocyte chemiluminescence without stimulation and after stimulation with fMLP, PMA and zymosan, as well as, a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in CD11b expression on granulocytes. And in group B: a significant increase (p < 0.05) in granulocyte chemiluminescence without stimulation but a significant decrease (p < 0.05) after cells stimulation with fMLP and PMA were observed. In this group CD11b expression on granulocytes was significantly (p < 0.001) decreased. The results of the present examination indicate, that military service conditions influence some parameters of the innate immunity.
