title: [About postmortem changes in the pancreas].
abstract: Postmortem changes in the pancreas of 23 patients who had died of cardiovascular and tumor pathology were studied with light microscopy and histochemical methods. Pancreatic tissue was obtained within 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours after biological death. General features of postmortem changes were established and also some special aspects relevant to intravital and terminal period were defined. The results of the examination allow to make the conclusion on possibility of postmortem studying of the pancreas on the material of early autopsies.
