Of 26 cases with pheochromocytoma which had been proved on operation,pathological examination was done in 21 cases.The authors analysed the cardiovascular complications in these patients and correlated them with the pathologic findings of the tumor.The results showed that patients with predominantly epinephrinesecreting tumors were prone to post-hypertesive hypotension,arrhythmia with rapid heart rate and catecholamine-induced myocardosis.Some illustrative examples were presented and path-ophysiology of these complications were discussed.

In this study collagen was applied locally for the treatment of burn wound in the rat. Twenty rats weighing 18-22g were made into 7% [1 degree burn model and divided into two groups: collagen group and control group. After burn, collagen (0.4ml, once daily) was smeared on the rat wound in the treatment group, whereas saline (0.4ml, once daily) in the control group. It was found that collagen can significantly accelerate burn wound healing by comparing the wound healing time and histological changes.
