MORPHOFUNCTIONAL PROFILE OF INTESTINAL LYMPHOID FORMATIONS WITH POSTSPLENECTOMIC SYNDROME UNDER EXPERIMENT
The experimental investigation carried out on 80 post-splenectomy white rats showed immune-competent cells proliferation to occur within a long-term follow-up in the lymphoid tissues of intestines, herewith lymphoid nodules reaching a considerable size and revealing an increased functional activity as a result of reproduction centers appearance. Over a long-term period after organ saving and organ replacement operations, intestinal lymphoid tissue involvement in compensatory process was observed. The lymphoid nodes remained functionally active, demonstrating an increase in proliferative activity.
