кариоцитолиз

Russian to English Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Однако дистрофические изменения в головном мозге здесь были более выраженными. Кроме того у животных, подвергнутых подострому отравлению, возникают изменения в спинном мозге: в нервных клетках передних рогов его наблюдается вакуолизация протоплазмы, а иногда и ***кариоцитолиз*** отдельных нейронов.

Среди изменений со стороны нервной системы на первый план выступают выраженные сосудистые нарушения в различных отделах головного мозга, дистрофические изменения в нервных клетках коры, подкорковых узлов, таламогипоталамической области, ствола, в виде набухания с резкой вакуолизацией протоплазмы в отдельных нервных клетках, явлений ***кариоцитолиза*** с образованием клеток теней.

Of course it could be translated as karyocytolysis, but the only citations I can find are translations.
As I understand the word from its roots karyo = nucleus, cyto = cell, lysis = breakdown or rupture, it means destruction/rupture of the nucleus, cell, or both.
Proposed translations (English)

4 karyolysis

Thanks Rita I appreciate you taking your time to educate me!

Amy, karyolysis only refers to the nucleus (karioliz) and кариоцитолиз is complete cell lysis that follows karyolysis.
Amy Lesiewicz (asker) Nov 9, 2012:
Thanks... Thanks Jim, however that AHA article is a "Special Article" from a Soviet author (9 of his sources are from the USSR and 2 are French), so I'm hesitant to consider it a good linguistic source of English terminology. I'm leaning toward karyolysis, as I think this best defines the process (the nucleus "ruptures," giving the cell a darker color - "с образованием клеток теней").

karyo- and cytolysis

This means that both Karyolysis and Cytolysys occurred and only shadow cells remain
visible.

karyolysis

I think it is the more common as karyolysis.

karyocytolysis

You're right about the romanized form of the word; it may be that Russians and Soviet scholars did most or all of the research on this subject but notice the second URL I've included here: it's from the American Heart Association. Hope this helps
