title: [Experimental study of gastrointestinal mucopathy after severe burns].
abstract: Changes in gastrointestinal tract mucous membrane after serious burns were studied with light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that changes in the gastrointestinal tract mucous membrane included not only erosions and ulcers, but also mucoid necrosis and bacterial translocation. The injuries of the intestinal mucous membrane began from the apex of villi. There are epithelial necrosis, with desquamation and exposure of villi. The injuries are much more serious and extensive than that of gastric mucous membrane, especially in the jejunum. These results suggested that after serious burns, not only there were stress ulcers of the gastroduodenum, but the whole gastrointestinal tract was involved.
