[The use of xymedon in treating trophic ulcers of the lower extremities].

A new derivative of pyrimidine--Ximedon--was included in the complex treatment of 50 patients with trophic ulcers of lower extremities. The use of Ximedon resulted in shifts of homeostasis, of the cellular composition of the wound discharge, of metabolism of nucleic acids and activity of enzymes of the granulation tissue. Periods of the preoperative preparation of the patients became shorter. The immediate and long-term results obtained after such treatment were more stable.
