[The mechanisms of the injuries to the nerve trunks in gunshot wounds of the extremities (experimental research)].

Two series of experimental researches were conducted on rabbits who had received gunshot wounds of the hind pads inflicted by middle and high velocity missiles. On the basis of the data obtained with the help of electroneuromyography, as well as light and electronic microscopy, it was found out the correlation of clinical, electrophysiological and pathomorphological parameters. Morphofunctional changes were disclosed not only in the proper zone of wound, but also at the upper and lower sides of sciatic nerve, as well as in central nerve system (SNS).

[Neuromorphologic aspects of experimental herpetic infection].

At intracerebral, intracutaneous, intracorneal and intraneural ways of infection with herpes simplex to mice and rabbits it has been stated immunomorphologically and electron microscopically that reproduction of the virus has been observed in various cells of the nervous system and accompanied with appearance of certain dystrophic changes in them. Reproductivity of the disease, duration of the incubation period, spread of the pathological process, successiveness of the lesion in the nervous system structures are determined by neurotropism of the strain and by the infection variant. The subclinical course of the infection does not exclude a productive reproduction of the virus in sensitive cells and corresponding morphologic equivalent.
