Twenty monkeys (macaccus rhesus) were examined by the following parameters: deformability of erythrocytes and mononuclear leukocytes, hemolytic activity of the serum, free hemoglobin of the serum and viscosity of plasma. The data obtained are accepted as standard because literature data on hemorrheology of monkeys are absent. Compared to relevant indices in humans, monkeys have increased hematocrit, serum hemolytic activity, erythrocytic rigidity index. Seven monkeys were used as the model of "donor" (6-8% blood loss). The above indices were measured before exfusion and on days 2, 7, 14 and 21 after exfusion. Maximal changes in rheology and hemolysis were observed on day 2 and 7 after blood loss which correlated with deviations of the red sprout of hemogeny.

Chair of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Cracow, Poland.
Napoleon Cybulski (1854-1919) was the most prominent Polish physiologist who chaired the Department of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Jagiellonian University between 1885 and 1919. One of his greatest achievements was the construction of a device for precise measurements of blood movement in the vessels - the photohemotachometer, which provided a better insight into the physiology and pathophysiology of the circulatory system. In the field of endocrinology Cybulski together with Szymonowicz, found out that adrenal extracts contain biologically active substances that elevate blood pressure.

Sodium salicylate 10(-3) M is able to limit the number of plaques induced by RNA viruses on monkey kidney cell cultures (Cercopithecus aethiops and Macaccus rhesus). However, the inhibition rate changes with the virus type or even the strain used. Poliovirus 2, Coxsackie B3, echovirus and reovirus 1 were the most susceptible to the inhibitory effect of the drug.
