title: [Use of neuropeptides in acute neurologic diseases].
abstract: The author reports the results of own experiments with administration of 8-arginine-vasopressin and ACTH4-10. In 79 cases of cerebrovascular disease improvement was observed after several doses of intranasal vasopressin. ACTH4-10 given to 10 patients with damage to the nervous tranks in extremities gave improvement in 8 cases. In experiments on rabbits ACTH4-10 accelerated axonal sprouting from the end of the damaged nerve as well as from the nearby nerves.
