ABSTRACT
In the origin of arterial hypertension in bronchial asthma a significant role is played by the involvement of the lungs in metabolism of steroid hormones. Hypothalamo-hypophyseal-gonadal system was studied in 39 females suffering from bronchial asthma alone and in 47 asthmatic females suffering from bronchial asthma alone and in 47 asthmatic females with arterial hypertension. As indicated by radioimmunoassay, the impaired feedback between hypothalamo-hypophyseal and sexual functions may be responsible for stabilization of arterial hypertension in bronchial asthma.

The findings of roentgenologic observation of the patients for 4 years after plasty of the residual cavity of dura mater of the brain are presented. A good long-term result was noted in 85.7% of the patients.
