Combined Effects of Bone Marrow Cells and Pulsed Microwaves on Thermally Damaged Skin of Laboratory Rats.

We studied the effect of bone marrow cells (BMC) and nanosecond repetitively pulsed microwaves (RPMs, 10 GHz, pulse duration 100 nsec, pulse repetition rate 8 Hz, peak power flux density (pPFD) 140 W/cm) on the regeneration of thermally damaged skin in rats. The combined use of BMC and RPMs accelerates separation of an eschar with its complete rejection on day 14 of the experiment. Histological analysis demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the relative area of the granulation tissue and thickness of newly formed epidermis in the group with combined exposure.

Lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membranes of women with benign and malignant neoplasms of the endometrium.

The content of primary and secondary products of membrane peroxidation, total cholesterol concentration, and relative microviscosity of erythrocyte membranes were measured in women with endometrial cancer and uterine leiomyoma. The content of conjugated dienes in erythrocytes was highest in female patients with malignant tumors of the endometrium. The relative microviscosity of erythrocyte membranes in patients with uterine leiomyoma and endometrial cancer was elevated in the zone of lipid--lipid and protein--lipid contacts.
