[Morphological study of the liver and lungs in closed injury]

In a closed trauma of the liver there occurs the disappearance of glycogen from hepatocytes in the circumference of the ruptures and from the foci of necrosis. In addition, within the first two hours after trauma considerable amounts of fine granular masses of glycogen in the rupture cavities, in hepatic vessels and in the pulmonary artery system. In later terms no free glycogen masses were found in the hepatic and pulmonary vessels.
