Kupffer cells were observed in liver biopsy tissues of 9 cases of liver diseases by scanning electron microscopy to prove Kupffer cell proliferation numerically. Kupffer cell count per 0.01 mm2 of cracked surface of liver lobule was 1.2 +/- 0.3 in the convalescent stage of a mild acute hepatitis case and 1.2 +/- 0.1 in a chronic persistent hepatitis case with slight inflammation. Whereas it was increased to 2.4-5.5 (P less than 0.01) in the convalescent stage of moderate to severe acute hepatitis cases, 1.8 +/- 0.1 (p less than 0.05) in a chronic active hepatitis case, 2.5 +/- 0.3 (p less than 0.001) in an alcoholic portal fibrosis case and 2.2 +/- 0.4 (p less than 0.001) in a liver cirrhosis case. Kupffer cell count per mm3 of liver lobule was estimated roughly 3,500 in the convalescent stage of a mild acute hepatitis case and in a mild chronic persistent hepatitis case and 7,000 to 16,000 in the convalescent stage of moderate to severe acute hepatitis cases.
通过扫描电子显微镜观察9例肝病患者肝活检组织中的库普弗细胞,以从数量上证明库普弗细胞的增殖情况。在轻度急性肝炎病例的恢复期,每0.01平方毫米肝小叶破裂表面的库普弗细胞计数为1.2±0.3,在轻度炎症的慢性持续性肝炎病例中为1.2±0.1。而在中重度急性肝炎病例的恢复期,该计数增加至2.4 - 5.5(P<0.01),在慢性活动性肝炎病例中为1.8±0.1(p<0.05),在酒精性门脉纤维化病例中为2.5±0.3(p<0.001),在肝硬化病例中为2.2±0.4(p<0.001)。在轻度急性肝炎病例和轻度慢性持续性肝炎病例的恢复期,每立方毫米肝小叶的库普弗细胞计数估计约为3500,在中重度急性肝炎病例的恢复期为7000至16000。
