PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY METHODS IN THE STUDY OF THE PATHOMORPHOLOGY OF EXPLOSIVE AND GUNSHOT TRAUMA

Abstract

Improving the methods of prevention of various types of fatal and non-fatal injuries, exogenous intoxication, sudden death, improving the quality of medical and diagnostic work are reflected in the results of forensic medical examination. Forensic diagnostics of gunshot and explosive injuries are a little-studied aspect. The article is devoted to the prospects of using immunohistochemistry methods in the study of the pathomorphology of explosive and gunshot trauma. The results of a brief analysis of the literature and their own scientific developments allowed the authors to outline the prospects for the use of immunohistochemistry methods in the study of the consequences of gunshot and explosive trauma. The authors propose a number of possibilities for using immunohistochemistry methods in the study of pathomorphosis and morphogenesis of these types of trauma. The study allows us to analyze a significant range of changes in purulent- resorptive fever, sepsis, which often complicate the course of gunshot and explosive trauma when using modern lethal weapons. The presented materials emphasize the relevance of the study of gunshot and explosive trauma by methods of immunohistochemistry. The use of immunohistochemistry methods can enrich the pathology of explosive and gunshot injuries with new knowledge that would be of interest to the practice of military field surgery for such lesions.
