title: [Cellular composition of diffuse lymphoid tissue in the mucous membrane of human larynx under conditions of physiological norm and in fatal hypothermia in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)].
abstract: Using histological, morphometric and immunnohistochemical methods, cellular composition and cytoarchitectonics of diffuse lymphoid tissue in the mucous membrane of the larynx was studied in 29 men aged 17-74 years, who died from general body hypothermia in the winter period and in 27 men who died from mechanical injury during the summer. Significant changes in the cellular composition of diffuse lymphoid tissue of the mucous membrane in the various parts of the larynx were detected in fatal hypothermia, which included the decrease in the number of T-, B-lymphocytes and plasma cells and the increase in the number of macrophages in all age groups, indicating the suppression of local immunity in persons who died due to the action of low temperature.
