Detection of reladorm and donormil in forensic-medical examination of cadavers

A method was suggested for identifying reladorm and donormil in pharmaceutical drugs and biological objects. The above substances are isolated by 96% ethanol or by mixture of chloroform and isopropanol. 7 color reactions, 3 microcrystalloscopic reactions and chromatography in thin sorbent layer are suggested for identification.     

Forensic medical examination of clinical and biomechanical changes in mechanical injuries of the cervical spine ligaments

Posttraumatic alterations in the cervical spine ligaments were studied clinically and psychologically in the victims with mechanical injuries of the musculoligamentous system of the cervical spine. A clinical course of the traumatic process and biomechanical musculoligamentous alterations, development and severity of mental disorders were established. These characteristics should be taken into consideration in forensic medical evaluation of health deterioration.     

Computer analysis of erythrocyte catalase activity in diagnosis of mild brain trauma and concussion

A complex investigation of catalase activity in erythrocytes was conducted basing on the results of computer quantitative morphometry of histochemical examination of blood samples from persons with mild craniocerebral trauma. It was found that erythrocytic catalase activity correlates with severity of brain trauma. A novel technique of objective histochemical diagnosis of trauma is described. It provides objective grounds for expert conclusions. Differential features of erythrocytic shape were defined in a small series of micropreparations vs the rest blood samples.     

Forensic medical diagnostics of nitrate and nitrite intoxication

Nitrates and nitrites, accumulating in toxic concentrations in soil, plants, water and foodstuffs, can cause lethal intoxication. The method of isolation, identification and quantitation has been elaborated for their diagnosis. It is based on the isolation of water and subsequent chromogenic test plus photoelectrocolorimetry.     

Extraction of basic metabolites of monomethyloxybenzene isomers from aqueous solutions

The results are presented of extraction of 1-methyl-3,4-dioxybenzene, 1-methyl-2,5-dioxybenzene and 4-oxybenzene acid from aqueous solutions with hydrophobic and hydrophilic organic soluvants. It is shown that the degree of extraction depends on the nature of the extragents and pH of the aqueous phase medium. Extraction multiplicity for obtaining necessary quantities of the compounds is calculated.
