title: [Regeneration of the parathyroid glands after partial resection].
abstract: By means of morphometrical methods, as well as by the method of volumetric reconstruction of the organs in 33 rats during 1-30 days regeneration of parathyroid glands have been studied after a simultaneous resection of the whole left and a half of the right gland. Total calcium content in blood serum in the experimental animals decreases on the 1st-2d day and normalizes by the 3d day. Regeneration of the remained part of the gland is realized at the expense of increasing mitotic activity and hypertrophy of parathyrocytes along the whole organ from the 3d up to the 13th day. There are no signs of the glandular parenchyma growth from the wound surface. On the 3d-5th day dividing parathyrocytes predominate in the half of the gland that adjoins the wound. This promotes a predominant longitudinal growth of the gland remnant and restoration of the organ's ellipsoid form on the 20th-30th day. The main pattern of the parathyroid gland restoration after its partial resection is regenerative hypertrophy.
