Abstract

On the basis of experimental study on 17 dogs, this paper reports on the variation of serum creatine kinase (SCK) with time in the early phase of wounding by spherical steel bullets at three different velocities and its relation with the kinetic energy absorbed by the tissue and with the amount of the excised necrotic tissue surrounding the wound tracks. The results showed that the energy absorbed by the tissue and the amount of the excised necrotic tissue surrounding the wound tracks increased with increasing velocity. Within a period of 6 hours after wounding the SCK activity increased correspondingly.
