[Morphometric characteristics of tissue basophils in cancerous and precancerous diseases of the skin].

Skin of 60 patients with squamous cell non-keratinizing carcinoma, basaliomas, Bowen carcinoma, hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis and chronic inflammation was studied using routine histological and histochemical methods. The number of basophils was calculated; the index of their heparin saturation, degree of granulation was determined by division of a number of highly granulated labrocytes by a number of the least granulated labrocytes and multiplying the result by 100. The results may serve as a criterion in the evaluation of the degree of skin carcinoma cataplasia.

[Effect of a series of vasoactive drugs on the compensatory adaptive processes of the brain during acute experimental cerebral venous stasis].

In 120 rats with acute intracranial venous congestion the authors investigated the influence of some vasoactive drugs on compensatory-adaptive processes in the brain. They studied reactions of the nerve cells, pericellular and perivascular edema, and vessels to the administration of cavinton, trental, xanthinol nicotinate, troxevasin, and euphyllin. It has been demonstrated that vasoactive drugs have a varying influence on the compensatory processes in the brain.
