frenzied sale of body parts -- some infected with hepatitis -- to the
United
States, and led directly to U.S. regulation of the industry, the Orange
County Register reported Sunday.

A storefront dental office in Los Angeles and home-based offices in
Florida
and Detroit peddled bone, brain linings and other tissue from Russia and
other former Eastern Bloc countries.

In 1993, a tissue sample from the Los Angeles office tested positive for
hepatitis B, the Register said.

Russian coroners were swamped with bodies in the early 1990s as crime
increased and the health-care system deteriorated. In 1993, the Moscow
coroner's office had 34,000 bodies brought in for autopsies, up from the
previous average of 12,000.

At the same time, morgues and hospitals were starving for funds. The
solution: sell portions of the bodies."" ``The benefits were self-evident: pure hard currency coming in, while the
coroner's offices were suffocating without money,'' said Grigory
Zaslavsky,
St. Petersburg region coroner.

One of the tissue traders was Vladimir Shigeev, who was director of
Moscow's
Lefortovo morgue. He also had a private business that extracted bones,
eyes,
cartilage and brain linings from corpses. He obtained tissue from morgues
from Moscow to Siberia.

``We just tore it out and shipped it off,'' Shigeev said.

A body brought no more than $120, while products made from tissue
collected
in the United States could be worth as much as $200,000, the Register
said.

His main client was New Jersey-based Tutogen Medical Inc. Last year, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, citing ``inadequate donor screening,''
forced the company to recall all brain lining products harvested before
May
1994 and distributed in the United States under two of its labels.

Some Russian cadavers also went to San Diego-based Allograft Technologies
Inc., known as the San Diego Regional Tissue Bank. At one point, the FDA
ordered the bank to recall 834 pieces of human tissue it received from
Russia and distributed in 18 states, the Register said.

However, the FDA could not prove any infections were passed to patients
from
the tissue.

An FDA rule finalized in 1997 effectively prevented the importation of
tissue unless it had been tested under strict FDA guidelines.

The testing seriously hurt Shigeev's business, he said.

``It was a total fiasco,'' Shigeev said. ``At least every third -- almost
every other one -- of our corpses turned out to have hepatitis.''
