[Adrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human gallbladder and in various diseases]

As demonstrate investigations of the human gallbladder neural elements, normal (15 persons), after cholecystectomy resulted from dyskinesia (9 cases), diseases of the gallbladder cervix (28 cases), chronic (263 cases) and acute (16 cases) cholecystitis, using Falk--Hillarp--Govyrin, Karnovsky--Roots, Bielshowsky--Gros methods and incubation in 2% glyoxylin acid solution, a rich adrenergic and cholinergic innervation has been demonstrated in the organ studied at the states mentioned and their connection with the pathomorphological changes in the gallbladder wall. The analysis of 2,428 cases of chronic and acute cholecystitis has been performed in order to compare the clinical signs with changes in the central nervous system and the neural elements of the gallbladders removed. The importance of the gallbladder neural elements in the development of dyskinesia, diseases of the gallbladder cervix and chronic cholecystitis is mentioned.
