ABSTRACT
Carbon fibers implantation was performed in 21 experimental animals. Results were generally satisfactory in all operated animals. Lameness disappeared after 2-3 months, although the operated tendons were still thickened and did not return to their normal condition, in general. The normal angiographical picture was described. The postoperation indicated increased vascularity in all cases. Histopathological examination revealed that the regeneration of the affected tendon fasciculi was parallel to the apparently normal tendon fibers and possessed the same cytological structure of normal tendon. So, this method could be considered to the efficient for encouraging tendon healing

The erythropenic effect of combelen- polamivet combination upon the splenic and circulating level of erythrocytes were investigated in 15 dogs. It was demonstrated that the increase in splenic haematocrit, red blood cell count and haemoglobin content as well as the reduction of these parameters in the peripheral blood is largely due to the splenic preservation of red cells. The date indicated that there was a reduction in the red cell diameter and the spleen was dilated more than three times its normal size
