Abstract:
A complex investigation of catalase activity in erythrocytes was conducted basing on the results of computer quantitative morphometry of histochemical examination of blood samples from persons with mild craniocerebral trauma. It was found that erythrocytic catalase activity correlates with severity of brain trauma. A novel technique of objective histochemical diagnosis of trauma is described. It provides objective grounds for expert conclusions. Differential features of erythrocytic shape were defined in a small series of micropreparations vs the rest blood samples.
