[The specific morphological and biochemical features of inhalation poisoning with ammonia].

This experimental study using the laboratory animals (rats and rabbits) has demonstrated the morphological and biochemical changes associated with inhalation poisoning with ammonia. Certain regular features of this form of intoxication were revealed. Specifically, the determination of the major biochemical characteristics of blood makes it possible to evaluate the performance of the hepatobiliary and cardiovascular systems.

[Mechanisms of the toxic action of ammonia on the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract (an experimental study)].

The objective of the present experimental investigation was to study peculiarities of the toxic action of ammonia vapours on the respiratory organs. The experiments were carried out on 20 white rats. The animals were placed in a special chamber and exposed to ammonia vapours.

[Ultrastructural characteristic of gunpowder charge remains in forensic medical examination of gunshot bullet injuries].

Particles of 3 different marks of gunpowder, withdrawing from experimental gunshot injuries, were examined with scanning electronic microscopy. Features of ultrastructure, making possible to differentiate gunpowder of studied marks, were detected.
