Endoplasmic reticulum dilation, nervous fibres and cell organelles reduction; mitochondrion swelling, Partial crista fragmentation and endoplasmic reticulum dilation are also found in endocrine system; Lymphocytes reduction, cytoplasm ingredient reduction and dead lymphocytes increase in immune system; in reproductive system, spermatogenic cells and cell organelles are reduced in the male and follicle disappeared in the female.@*CONCLUSION@#Ultra-structural pathological changes of heroin-addicts are presented acute, chronic oxygen deficiency degeneration and necrosis.
