[Utrastructural interrelationships of collagen fibrillar components in human connective tissue].

The data on structural interconnections between collagenous fibres in the human dermis and periosteum were obtained by means of raster electron microscopy. Collagenous fibres were demonstrated to be connected with each other by means of fine connective fibres situating mainly transversaly towards the main collagenous fibres. Comparing the data obtained with those from the literature, a suggestion was made on the existence, in the connective tissue, of a special connective system composing of peculiar fibrillar structures which maintains dynamic equilibrium in arrangement of collagenous fibres, muscles, vessels, etc. The system of the connective fibres demonstrates a common compositional principle for all the structures mentioned above, but in every case having its peculiarities.

[Postmortem changes in skin color].

By the employment of the colorimetric method statistically significant objective data on postmortem changes in the colour of different parts of the skin have first been obtained. Histological and spectrophotometric studies were carried out in order to elucidate the causes of these changes. The colour of the cadavar skin as well as the colour of the human skin in life depends on primary pigments: hemoglobin, melanin, carotene and melanoid. A certain role is likely to be played by the main structural proteins of the derma and epidermis: collagen and keratin. The cadavar skin colour differs in variations of the dominant wave length and reflectance which are associated with postmortem redistribution of the blood under the effect of the gravity and qualitative transformation of oxyhaemoglobin into reduced haemoglobin. The distribution of melanin, carotene, and melanoid does not differ from that in life. The most specific index of the amount of melanin is the purity of colour and not reflectance.

[Ultrastructure of collagen fibers and basic substance of the human dermis].

Histological and histochemical methods and fluorescent and rastral electron microscopy were used for complex investigation of intercellular connective tissue components of the human skin derm (collagenous and elastin fibres, basic substance). The structure of collagenous fibres in different levels of their organization was studied. The structure of periods and differently directed combination of fibrils in the fibre were revealed by different methods. Five types of ruthenies--positive structures in the basic substance and fibres--were found. A supposition is made and substantiated that two interconnected and diverse mechanisms take part in sustaining the structure--function integrity of the collagenous fibre. One of them prevents from rapprochement of fibrils (different direction of fibres, amorphous substance) and the other connect them (adhesive properties of the amorphous substance).

[Objective non-contact method of study of the color of the human skin integument by use of a photoelectric colorimeter].

The authors describe a method of determination of the colour of the skin in man based on the use of contactless photoelectric colorimeter made especially for this purpose. The mean normal values of the indices of the skin colour of the anterior and the posterior surface of the arm in 45 men and 35 women of the Europeoid race under normal conditions are presented.
