RESUMO
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a rare and frequently fatal disease. We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala dermatitidis in a young immuno competent male presenting to a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur.
RESUMO
Preinjected with a radioprotective drug, WR-2721, the Swiss albino mice were whole body irradiated with 5 Gy of 60Co gamma rays. The animals were sacrificed at different intervals and bone marrow films were prepared for differential counting of lymphocytes, pronormoblasts and normoblasts and granulocytes. The results indicated significant protection of the bone marrow cells by the drug against radiation induced damage. It is therefore concluded that WR-2721 protects all types of cells including as sensitive ones as lymphocytes, pronormoblasts and normoblasts.

Adult female Swiss albino mice were exposed to 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 Gy of 60Co gamma radiations in presence and absence of MPG. Quantitative studies were done in serial sections of ovary at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 35 days after exposure. Primary follicles were found to be most radiosensitive. The depletion in the various types of follicles was checked to some extent by prior administration of MPG, but MPG could not prevent the complete elimination of all types of follicles by the last autopsy interval studied.
