Intestinal ischemia: morphological features--I.

In this research we studied the interrelationships between the progression of morphological damage and leucocyte populations in the last ileal loop after blockage of blood supply subsequent to arterial and venous occlusion. Our morphological data on the staging of the ileal wall damage agree with those reported in literature. In addition we described that in the ischemic loop the number of lymphocytes appear decreased and polymorphonuclear cells degranulate actively.
