[Pathomorphological and histochemical changes in the intestines of white rats due to low-frequency vibration]

The authors carried out experiments on animals (40 white male rats) which were subjected to daily a two-hour action of the common vertical sinusoidal vibrations with a frequency of 20 Hr (I group) and 50 Hr (II group) with acceleration of 22,0 m/sec2 for a period of ten days (I group--A and second group--A) and 30 days (I group--B and II group--B). Histomorphological and histochemical methods were used and the authors found changes in microcirculation and structure of the intestinal wall manifested in the animals of the II group. The obtained results were in support of the clinical data on the disturbances in intestinal function in patients with vibration disease and corresponded to the experimental data on the occurrence of vascular and dystrophic changes in the internal organs under vibration action.
