Morphology of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of larynx in general hypothermia

Abstract
We have studied the cytoarchitectonics of mucous-associated diffuse lymphoid tissue (MALT - mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) of the larynx in persons who died from hypothermia. The material was collected in the summer (June, July, and August) and winter (December, January, and February) seasons of the year with the support from the State Budget Institution of the Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. Death caused by low natural temperature occurred most often at ambient air temperatures ranging from -34°C to -40°C, less often at -31°C to -33°C. As one of the most frequent factors contributing to the onset of death from hypothermia is alcohol intoxication, for comparative characteristics of the morphology of lymphoid tissue, we also investigated the group of persons who died from general hypothermia with underlying alcohol intoxication.
Significant changes in the cellular composition of the mucous-associated diffuse lymphoid tissue of the larynx were revealed: a decrease in Tand B- lymphocytes and plasma cells and an increase in the number of destructively altered cells and macrophages.
