[Diagnostic potential of the histochemical methods used in histological studies of the heart].

The authors proposed a number of immunohistochemical markers to be used in histological diagnostic studies of the heart and protocols for their identification that extend the possibilities for the estimation of the heart function in case of pathological changes and sudden cardiac death.

[Detection of brain astrocytes by the immunohistochemical method after craniocerebral injury].

The objective of this study was to develop a simple reproducible technique for selective detection of astrocytes based on the immunohistochemical reaction with glial fibrillar acid protein. It is concluded that the proposed method makes possible detailed characteristic of astrocyte response to a craniocerebral injury.
