[Reactions of subcutaneous connective tissue and incised wounds to strips of furacin gauze. Histologic study (author's transl].

Strips of gauze and furacin gauze were implanted into the subcutaneous space and employed as dressing of dorsal incisions of albino rats. The animals were sacrificed after 24 hours, 2, 5, and 7 post-operative days. The pieces were processed for histological examination. It is possible to conclude that the furacin gauze provokes more severe inflammatory reactions and does not favour the connective neoformation and the epithelization. The furacin gauze should be utilized only as germicide aim.

Squamous-cell carcinoma in a residual mandibular cyst.

Described is a case of squamous-cell carcinoma arising in a residual cyst in a 60-year-old edentulous woman. The clinical and radiographic diagnosis was residual cyst, and the treatment employed was conservative surgical enucleation. The cause of these changes is unknown. Theoretically, the inflammatory reaction may have been a predisposing factor.
