title: [Diffusion of methylene blue in the human maxillary sinus mucosa].
abstract: The coefficient of diffusion of methylene blue in pathologically changed human maxillary sinus mucosa in vitro has been estimated for the first time. The mean value of the diffusion coefficient is (4.8 +/- 2.9) x 10(-7) cm2/s. The method is based on the registration of the dynamics of reflectance of tissue samples under the action of the dye. The diffusion coefficient has been estimated by approximation of experimental data in the framework of the model presented.
