title: [Structure and functions of muscle allotransplants developing in adrenals and the alloplasty area after long-term exposure].
abstract: The cross allotransplantation of right gastrocnemius muscles was carried out between intact rats and rats in which adrenals and right shins were subjected to low-energy He-Ne laser radiation (10 procedures for 2 weeks, the exposure duration 5 min; total dose for each rat 15-18 J/cm2). By conditions of experiment, the rats in each series were both donors and recipients, and hence the heterogeneity of rats in each series was the same. It was shown that the laser radiation in the dose studied and the regimes of exposure of rat adrenals and shin (area of the planned allotransplantation) influenced the muscle alloplasty. In rats with irradiated adrenals and shin, the disintegration and resorption of muscle allografts occurred more actively. In intact rats, muscle allografts were more viable. The allogenic muscle tissue and a weak contractile reaction of allografts were revealed in most of them. The allografts showed a moderate lymphocytic infiltration. The data obtained indirectly evidence that the transplant immune reaction increased in rats with irradiated adrenals and shin. In intact rats, the transplant immune reaction to irradiated m.gastrocnemius from irradiated shin decreased.
