[Morphology of the reparative processes in the early period following chemical burns of the esophagus]. 1975

M A Sapozhnikova

Changes in 25 esophaguses following burns with cauterizing substances in patients treated with hormonal steroids and by bougienage were studied using histochemical methods. Effects of acids and alkalies were revealed at early stages of burn disease and consisted of lesions of a various depth of the esophagus wall. Formation of scars started from the first days after burns and led to the rearrangement of the esophagus wall. A year following the burn the healing of the damaged esophagus was not completed, and changes therein acquired a character of necrotic-ulcerative esophagitis. Hormonal treatment brought about a decrease in leucocytic infiltration in the esophagus wall. The periods of development of scars in the esophagus of patients treated with hormonal preparations according to the conventional scheme and treatment by bougienage coincided.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009092	Mucous Membrane	An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.

D013256	Steroids	A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed)	Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
