[Regulation of the blood-brain barrier permeability in suppurative-inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area].

Hematoencephalic barrier (HEB) permeability was studied in 78 rabbits. HEB permeability for 32P was examined in animals with phlegmons on the posterior paws and on the maxillofacial area; HEB permeability was sharply increased in the latter group animals. Central cholinolytics and antioxidants were used to normalize this parameter in the rabbits with maxillofacial phlegmons.

[Immunological aspects of the effect of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area on the brain].

Indirect hemagglutination was used to detect the blood serum antibrain antibodies in 472 patients with inflammatory maxillofacial diseases. Long-term follow-up was performed in 109 of the patients. High titres of antibrain antibodies were found.
