Abstract:
Excessive poorly differentiated epitheliocytes were detected in the crypts and subepithelial regions of the colorectal mucosa during the regeneration process in the majority of patients with diverticular disease. The compensatory reaction of the sigmoid mucosa decreased, which was seen from rarely detected cryptic hyperplasia. Disorders in the epitheliocyte proliferation and differentiation were paralleled by changes in tissue levels of proinflammatory cytokines (elevation of TNF-α and IFN-γ and reduction of IL-1β and IL-8) and increase of IL-4, regulating lymphocyte activation.
