This study aimed to assess the morphometry of enterocytes as well as the goblet cell-to-enterocyte ratio in different intestinal segments of dogs with chronic enteropathies (CE). Histopathological intestinal samples from 97 dogs were included in the study (19 healthy juveniles, 21 healthy adults, 24 dogs with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), and 33 CE dogs without PLE). Healthy adult small intestinal enterocytes showed progressively reduced epithelial cell height in the aboral direction, while juvenile dogs showed progressively increased epithelial cell height in the aboral direction. CE dogs had increased epithelial cell height in the duodenum, while PLE dogs had decreased epithelial cell heights compared to healthy adult dogs. Both the CE and PLE dogs showed decreased enterocyte width in the duodenal segment, and the ileal and colonic enterocytes of CE dogs were narrower than those of healthy adult dogs. CE dogs had a lower goblet cell-to-enterocyte ratio in the colon segment compared to healthy dogs. This study provides valuable morphometric information on enterocytes during canine chronic enteropathies, highlighting significant morphological enterocyte alterations, particularly in the small intestine, as well as a reduced goblet cell-to-enterocyte ratio in the colon of CE cases compared to healthy adult dogs.
本研究旨在评估患有慢性肠病(CE)的犬不同肠段肠细胞的形态测量学以及杯状细胞与肠细胞的比例。97只犬的组织病理学肠道样本被纳入研究(19只健康幼犬、21只健康成年犬、24只患有蛋白丢失性肠病(PLE)的犬以及33只无PLE的CE犬)。健康成年犬的小肠肠细胞在向口方向上皮细胞高度逐渐降低,而幼犬向口方向上皮细胞高度逐渐增加。与健康成年犬相比,CE犬十二指肠上皮细胞高度增加,而PLE犬上皮细胞高度降低。CE犬和PLE犬十二指肠段的肠细胞宽度均减小,且CE犬回肠和结肠的肠细胞比健康成年犬的更窄。与健康犬相比,CE犬结肠段杯状细胞与肠细胞的比例更低。本研究提供了关于犬慢性肠病期间肠细胞的有价值的形态测量学信息,突出了肠细胞显著的形态学改变,尤其是在小肠中,以及与健康成年犬相比,CE病例结肠中杯状细胞与肠细胞的比例降低。
