[Absorption of iodofolic acids by the cells of malignant tumors].

The uptake of 125-iodine labeled 3' iodofolic acid (I*F) and 3' iodo, 5 formyl tetrahydrofolic acid (I*FT) by the cells HeLa, ECV, L-41, human glioma, and rat glioma was studied. Human Embrionic Lung Fibroblasts (HELF) were taken for comparison as healthy cells. It was shown for *IF that its long-term uptake by cells L-41 and ECV is hundreds oftimes higher than those of HELF cells.

Aim: To study correlations between body mass and height of the newborn, Apgar scale estimates, gestation time, volume of the obtained umbilical blood (UB), number of nucleated cells (NC); to compare manual and automatic modes of UB processing.

Material And Methods: 330 procurements of UB were made, 230 (69.7%) samples were frozen.
