PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF MYOCARDIUM OF THE EXPERIMENTAL RABBITS BLEEDING TO DEATH AND SHOCK / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Transmission electron microscopy, histochemstry, immunohistochemistry and morphometry were used to study ultrastructural changes, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and myoglobin (Mb )content of the rabbit's myocardium bleeding to death and to hemorrhagic shock. The results were as follows the myocardium showed different degrees of ultrastructural changes; various degrees of decreasing of SDH activity and deletion of Mb. These changes gradually become more serious with lapse of time after shock. The mechanism of the changes and the significance in forensic medicine are discussed.
