[Morphopathogenesis of the amniotic membrane after its transplantation in the course of experimental conjunctiva plasty]. / Morfopatogenez amnioticheskoi membrany posle ee transplantatsii v khode kon"iunktival'noi plastiki v éksperimente.

The paper contains the results of an experimental study of the clinical healing of the standard wound defect in the bulbar conjunctiva of rabbit after conjunctiva-plasty involving the use of the human amnion transplant; there is also a description of a histological study of reparative processes in the adjacent tissues and a description of morphological changes occurring in the transplant during the healing process. The study was made on 14 rabbits (28 eyes). It was established that the wound-surface healing occurs, beneath the amnion transplant, without a pronounced inflammation, scarring or immunologic-rejection reaction; its sequence is typical of inflammation and compensatory processes with the formation, in the outcome, of the conjunctiva coating of the eyeball, whose color and composition are ordinary.

The trial of experimental vaccine consisting of protective protein antigens of P. aeruginosa cell wall was carried out on 114 volunteers. The vaccine proved to be faintly reactogenic and induced the formation of specific humoral immunity in 98% of the volunteers who retained a high level of anti-P. aeruginosa antibodies in their blood for up to 5 months (the term of observation after the course of immunization was over.
