Postirradiation administration of Leukotrophin to whole-body irradiated mice was associated with increased LD50/30 and DRF. As indicated by 59Fe uptake and ESC number, haemopoiesis was significantly stimulated in spleen and bone marrow after Leukotrophin application to irradiated mice. DNA content and the uptake of 3H-thymidine in DNA was significantly enhanced in the thymus and bone marrow of irradiated and Leukotrophin-treated mice. The micronucleus test confirmed that Leukotrophin is a therapeutic agents, while administered before irradiation it does not influence the initial radio-lesions.

Stochastic model of the evolution of viral hepatitis morbidity.

Starting from the elementary epidemiological processes, the authors develop an evolution equation of the function generating the probability distribution of the number of viral hepatitis (VH) patients and susceptible subjects. Evolution equations for moments of order 1 and 2 - resulting from the equation of the generating function-are also discussed on the ground of certain simplifying hypotheses. The formulae are applied to the analysis of VH morbidity evolution in several children communities. The data on the evolution of the different moments and of the probability distributions are used from the specification of epidemiological transmissibility and susceptibility parameters.
