[Stimulating effect of autotransplantation of preserved bone marrow on hematopoiesis]

In a given communication, the results of transplantation of autologous bone marrow, preserved at -50 degrees in the medium 199, added 10% low-molecular polyvinylpyrrolidone, are reported. Fourty two patients with pulmonary cancer of stage III and IV after pathohistological studies were subjected to chemoradiation therapy. The study of peripheral blood, the sternum and iliac bone needle biopsy specimens following this therapy has evidenced an inhibition of bone marrow hemopoiesis and of megakaryocytic growth, in particular. Autotransplantation of the preserved bone marrow against the background of inhibited hemopoiesis results in a nearly complete restoration of the bone marrow hemopoiesis.
