The Impact of Electrical Injury to the Internal Organs of Laboratory Animals

摘要

Morphologic changes of rats’ internal organs at thermal-electric injuries based on the trial materials data have been described. The experimental animals were undergone electric current effect (220 Volt, duration – 3 seconds, direct current). The following internal organs have been taken for morphologic investigation: a cardiac muscle (left ventricle and interventricular septum), the lungs (central and peripheral parts), the pancreas (the head and the tail), the spleen (a portal area and parenchyma), the kidneys (the zone of cortical and medullary substance), the liver (central and peripheral parts), the brain (stem and hemispheres) in different periods after the burn. The development of pathologic processes was connected with circulation disorder, thermal and biochemical reactions which stipulated the reduce of oxidation process and were evidence of cells energy shortage with accumulation of acid products and denaturation of cytoplasm proteins.
