[The principles and methods for the complex morphofunctional analysis of toxic injuries]
Abstract:
The authors analyze experimental intoxication manifestations under the effects of chemical compounds of different classes using various morphologic methods including cytospectrophotometric analysis of the activities of a number of redox and hydrolytic enzymes. Types of structural and metabolic restructuring of the elements and microcirculatory bed of some organs during their toxic injury are demonstrated. A complex functional and morphologic analysis of visceral injuries with mathematical processing of quantitative parameters is believed to be a perspective method for forensic medical expert evaluation of intoxications.
