Materials And Methods: A total of 102 cases were included in the study and divided into three subgroups: the first subgroup consisted of 62 cases with dental follicles of impacted teeth, the second included 20 cases of dentigerous cysts and the third subgroup comprised a number of 20 cases with keratocystic odontogenic tumors. Immunomarking with the four antibodies was performed.

The authors have studied the side effects of a lyophilized and a dissolved cisplatin preparation in 133 patients with head and neck tumors. After intraarterial treatment (30 mg/24 hours) with dissolved cisplatin no nausea was observed, while treatment with lyophilized cisplatin was followed by nausea in rare cases (33%). Systemic treatment with dissolved cisplatin (50 mg/die) was associated with vomiting far less frequently (37%) than lyophilized cisplatin (90%).

Different hydrocortisone microcrystal suspensions applied intradermally in rabbits caused skin atrophy. This could be ascribed to secondary tissue degeneration as was ascertained histologically. The degree of degeneration was related to the concentration of the suspension, size of the microcrystals and frequency of the intervals between the injections.
