Comparative Study
[The dynamics of the early changes in the monoaminergic nervous apparatus of the spinal cord arteries in blunt trauma].
Changes in the adrenergic nervous system and population of tissue basophils of human spinal arteries in the course of 24 h after a blunt injury to the spine were studied. A staged pattern of development of compensatory adaptive reaction of the mechanisms regulating the spinal circulation has been revealed. The detected time course of posttraumatic changes may be interesting as it concerns the diagnosis of the time when a blunt injury to the spine was inflicted.
