[Morphologic characteristics of lesions of the small intestinal mucosa in chronic ischemia]
Abstract:
The results of morphologic examination of the small bowel mucosa of 32 patients with the ischemic disease of the alimentary organs provoked by stenosis of a. iliaca are analyzed. The diagnosis was confirmed angiographically and in the course of operation. Aspiration biopsy of the jejunum was performed by means of Ts. G. Masevich's sound. Chronic intestinal ischemia provokes the development of the atrophic changes in the mucosa with the decrease of its thickness due to the lowering of the height of its villi. The number of the goblet cells is increasing as well as the cell infiltration, the degenerative changes in the epithelium are observed. These alterations correlate with the degree of both the vessel narrowing and collateral circulation.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Histology of the Large Intestine
The innermost mucosa layer comprises simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. This layer is primarily populated with absorptive cells, tasked with water absorption, and goblet cells, responsible for secreting mucus to...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
