[Physiologic regeneration of corneal epithelium following exposure to constant magnetic fields of super-high intensity].

The mitotic index of mouse corneal epithelium was studied during and after 0.5-- 24 hours exposures to 9.9-39.4 kilooersteds constant magnetic fields. It was shown that 0.5, 1 and 3 hours exposures to a 39.4 kilooersteds constant magnetic field inhibited the mitotic activity whereas 8 and 24 hours exposures caused its stimulation. The value and rate of mitotic index alterations decrease with a decrease of field strength. No changes were found in the frequency of aberrant mitoses or in the number of cells per one field of microscopic vison.
