Morphological signs of the prophylactic effect of 1,3-diethylbenzimidazolium triiodide on the ectopic growth of sarcoma 45 in the lung by A. I. Shikhlyarova, L. K. Trepitaki, E. M. Frantsiyants, I. V. Kaplieva, E. M. Nepomnyashchaya, V. A. Bandovkina, I. V. Neskubina, E. I. Surikova

“…It was found out that, instead of the initial acute phase of blood flow reduction due to introduction of tumor cells resulting in neoplastic growth, activation of the immunity cellular link occurred under the influence of 1,3‑diethylbenzimidazolium triiodide along with a compensatory increase in bronchoalveolar structures, regression of tumor nodes and proliferation of connective tissue. At the same time, in females, a more rapid restructuring of the protective cellular systems of the lung occurs, and tumor regression is observed.Conclusion. …”
