[Use of instenon in complex treatment of patients with optic nerve atrophy caused by craniocerebral trauma].

Instenon, a combined nootropic agent, was used on the step-type basis within a complex treatment of optic nerve atrophy caused by craniocerebral trauma. Our study revealed that instenon, when used within a complex treatment of a partial optic nerve atrophy caused by craniocerebral trauma, improved the visual acuity in 85.7% of patients and it expanded the total visual field in 76.

[The validation of the microsurgical plastic repair of damaged peripheral nerves by using allografts (experimental and clinical research)].

Experimental study of allostatic grafts of peripheral nerves showed that the regeneration of the nerve fibres occurs in a regulated manner with good vascularization. Clinical approbation of allografts in 90 patients in injury to the peripheral nerves with a large diastasis (more than 4 cm) revealed good regeneration of the nerve fibres with subsequent improvement of the function of the extremity. The method of alloplasty is indicated in large defects in injured peripheral nerves which make the performance of neurorrhaphy impossible.
