Chronic human schistosomiasis mansoni. Pathology of the Disse's space. 1977

J A Grimaud, and R Borojevic

In chronic human schistosomiasis mansoni, the entire hepatic lobule is involved. The hepatovascular barrier is modified and shows hepatic sinusoids with hypertrophy and stratification of endothelium, basement membrane-like deposits, perisinusoidal fibrosis, diminution of hepatocellular microvilli and hepatocellular clasmatosis into the sinusoidal circulation. This transformation of an open circulation to a partly closed one may decrease the blood hepatocyte exchanges in schistosomiasis mansoni.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007728 Kupffer Cells Specialized phagocytic cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM found on the luminal surface of the hepatic sinusoids. They filter bacteria and small foreign proteins out of the blood and dispose of worn out red blood cells. Kupffer Cell,Cell, Kupffer,Cells, Kupffer
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008109 Liver Diseases, Parasitic Liver diseases caused by infections with PARASITES, such as tapeworms (CESTODA) and flukes (TREMATODA). Parasitic Liver Diseases,Disease, Parasitic Liver,Diseases, Parasitic Liver,Liver Disease, Parasitic,Parasitic Liver Disease
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010873 Pinocytosis The engulfing of liquids by cells by a process of invagination and closure of the cell membrane to form fluid-filled vacuoles. Pinocytoses
D003593 Cytoplasm The part of a cell that contains the CYTOSOL and small structures excluding the CELL NUCLEUS; MITOCHONDRIA; and large VACUOLES. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990) Protoplasm,Cytoplasms,Protoplasms
D004727 Endothelium A layer of epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, VASCULAR), lymph vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, LYMPHATIC), and the serous cavities of the body. Endotheliums
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012552 Schistosomiasis Infection with flukes (trematodes) of the genus SCHISTOSOMA. Three species produce the most frequent clinical diseases: SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM (endemic in Africa and the Middle East), SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI (in Egypt, northern and southern Africa, some West Indies islands, northern 2/3 of South America), and SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM (in Japan, China, the Philippines, Celebes, Thailand, Laos). S. mansoni is often seen in Puerto Ricans living in the United States.
