MORPHOMETRIC AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF BLOOD FLOW OF BRAIN CEREBRAL CORTEX IN BURN INJURY
Mortality due to thermal injury and poisoning by carbon monoxide tends to increase, which determines the need of further development of additional forensic criteria for the diagnosis of burn injury. The authors tried to assess the blood flow in cerebral cortex of brain in a burn injury on the basis of morphometric and immunohistochemical studies. It was found that in thermal injury in the next few minutes there is a sharp capillary anemia of the cerebral cortex, accompanied by violation of cytoskeleton assembly of neuron microtubules. It can be estimated by immunohistochemical distribution of MAP2-expressing neurons. The criteria for assessing the blood supply of cerebral cortex can be used in the diagnosis of burn injury and, accordingly, its in vivo.
