Morphometric studies of normal and inflamed duodenal mucosa. 1980

P Schmitz-Moormann, and R Schmidt-Slørdahl, and J H Peter, and S Massarrat

Corresponding and differing parameters in normal and inflamed duodenal mucosa are compared in a morphometric, histologic study. Results of this study show that the density of cellular infiltration into the lamina propria is decisive for the diagnosis of duodenitis, in particular the composition of plasma cells and lymphocytes. This diagnosis is supported by dilatation of Brunner's glands, cellular infiltration of the muscularis mucosae, and by gastric metaplasia of the duodenal epithelium. The length and width of the villi and crypts, the number of goblet cells and Paneth cells, the mitotic rate, and hemorrhage and hyperemia are inappropriate differential diagnosticc criteria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007413 Intestinal Mucosa Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008679 Metaplasia A condition in which there is a change of one adult cell type to another similar adult cell type.
D008940 Mitotic Index An expression of the number of mitoses found in a stated number of cells. Index, Mitotic,Indices, Mitotic,Mitotic Indices
D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.

D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
