[Effect of hypoxia on epithelial cell division in the cornea and tongue of white rats].
A study was made of cell division in the corneal and tongue epithelium of white rats kept in a pressure chamber for 7 days (4 h daily) at a "height" of 9000 metres. Studies were performed at once and 3, 6 and 24 h after final exposition. After termination of hypoxia the rats showed pronounced inhibition of cell division. After three and 24 hours cell division in the corneal and tongue epithelium was activated. The number of pathological mitoses was increased at all the times of study. Following 3, 6 and 24 h the tongue epithelium demonstrated DNA synthesis activation.
