[Some quantitative parameters of the vascular system of transplanted brain tumors in experiments using rats]

A vascular system of several strains of brain tumors: neurinoma 46-1, gliomas: 11-9-2 and 101-8 were investigated by means of automatic analysis of microangiograms and histochemical-luminescent estimation of endothelial cells. It was shown that the mean quantity of vessels and their section-size in all strains of tumors are less than control independently of the rates of tumor development. The linear density of the endothelial cells appear less that in control vessels and is equal in different strains of tumors, though the inclination to hemorrhages in gliomas is higher than in neurinoma. The cause of this phenomenon is discussed.
