A new preparaiion was suggested for prevention of radiation injuries of the skin-an emulsion of aloe juice (VILAR) which was tried on 200 patients, 180 of whom were subjected to radiotherapy in connection with malignant neoplasms. When this emulsion is employed the dose of ionizing radiation on the skin field may be increased by 1000 r in any location of the tumor in comparison with the control group. The skin reaction (if it appears) is milder and the recovery is quicker. The emulsion was successfully used in treatment of ulcers appearim; on the skin as a result of irradiation connected with malignant tumors. Aloe emulsion gave favorable results in treatment of hands of personnel working with ionizing radiation for a long time. (tr-auth)
