The clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that in patients with large lesions accompanied by blood loss, injection of heterogenous antitetanic blood serum may be withdrawn during emergency prophylaxis of tetanus provided these patients are administered hemotherapy. Such a treatment policy makes it possible to considerably reduce the incidence of allergic complications that may occur after injection of antitetanic horse serum.

A mathematical model of push-pull movement of linear protoplasm is proposed. The model is considered for a two-chamber system whose autooscillations are induced by an active force during contractions of the filaments. Estimations of the rate of protoplasm flowing, the time of quenching in the passive system, as well as the general course of time relationships of the rate and radial changes of the strand radius agree with the experimental data.
