This research was aimed at discovering the serological and histological changes in cardiac and hepatic tissue after electric shock.\nThe CK-MB, ALT, and AMS indexes were tested with serological methods.Moreover, the Bcl-2, Bax, and Hsp-60 expression levels\nwere carefully measured. An electrical injury model was established by giving rats electric shocks at 110V with alternating electric\ncurrent. Blood samples from the rats were analyzed for the biochemical indexes. The degrees of pathological changes in the heart\nand liver were evaluated using IHC staining for Bcl-2, Bax, and Hsp-60. The levels of CK-MB in the electrical injury group rapidly\npeaked at 0.5 hours after the electric shock. Additionally, the levels of Bcl-2, Bax, and Hsp-60 in the cardiac and hepatic tissues\nchanged regularly after the electrical injury and exhibited apparent differences from the levels in the control group. CK-MB, ALT,\nand AMS were altered regularly after electric shock, and these results provide significant information for clinical and medicolegal\npractice. This research has shed light on the assessment of electrical injury without obvious electrical burns. Furthermore, the\nfindings obtained for Bcl-2/Bax and Hsp-60 can also facilitate pathological diagnosis and the identification of antemortem and\npostmortem electrical injury.
