[Modern ideas about the mechanisms of gunshot injury formation (Report 2)].

The results of experimental study of circulatory acute phase response to the gunshot trauma have shown that triggering of pathologic cascade defined as the traumatic shock is attributed to the free radical concentration created by the wounding projectile in the damaged tissues due to injury sphere formation. So the further study of etiology and pathogenesis of combat pathology is required, the results of which will permit to improve considerably the quality of medical aid rendered to the wounded and casualties.
