title: [An immunohistochemical study on the distribution in organs in cases with morphine poisoning].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the distribution of mophine in organs in cases with morphine poisioning to select ideal organs for immunohistochemical derection.
  
  
  METHODS
  Localization and half quantitation of morphine in the brain, the kidney, the heart, and the liver were studied in 8 cases with morphine poisoning by immunohistochemical SP method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Morphine was mainly detected in the cytoplasm of certain parenchymal cells of the organs. The distribution varied greatly with different cases and organs. In the brain and kidney, morphine-positive cells could be easily found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The kidney and brain may be the ideal organs for sampling in suspected morphine poisoning cases with.
