[The therapeutic efficacy of phonophoresis of ribonucleic acid hydrolysate in toxic retinal lesions].

Experiments on 82 rabbits (162 eyes) have shown that RNA hydrolysate phonophoresis possesses a pronounced protective action by stimulating a rapid cupping of metabolic disturbances and a restoration of the chemical state of cellular elements of the retina in a relatively remote terms after the introducing of a monobromoacetate inhibitor (within first 3 days). Experimental therapy beginning 10 days after the introducing of monobromoacetate, i. e. in the period when, besides metabolic disturbances histomorphologic changes were also seen, considerably stimulated activation of compensatory-inflammatory processes. The investigations carried out allow to recommend RNA hydrolysate phonophoresis for clinical examination in dystrophic diseases of the retina.
