ABSTRACT
Tissues of 38 varieties of human skeletal tumors were studied by a complex of biochemical assays. It was found that such biochemical parameter as concentration of connective tissue components points to the degree of malignancy. The peculiarities of biochemical characteristics of skeletal tumors are of importance in differential diagnosis and may be used in the examination of tissue specimens obtained by biopsy or during surgery.

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.
