[Peculiarities of diagnosis and treatment of patients with hyposialosis].

33 patients with complaints of hyposalivation (21 in a 33 with syaloadenopatya and 12 in a 33 with syalosis out of the acute stage of disease) were examined. Complex examination of the saliva glands, analysis of the haemokynes in the various mediums of organism and thyoles compounds in the blood plasma was carried out. Tendency to increase in contents of haemokynes in the mixed saliva and in the tissue samples (from low in the syaloadenopatya to expressed in the syalosis) was revealed.

[End-to-side type of plastic repair of the facial nerve branches].

In 19 rabbits, lower branches of facial nerve were experimentally sectioned and sutured to its middle branches to form a 'side to end' pattern with 2 to 3 epineural sutures. Morphological investigation showed that regenerating axons of the middle branch penetrate into the sutured trunk and grow further. The technique was applied in 7 patients.
