[Effect of intestinal resection on the behavior of mononuclear subpopulations in Crohn disease].
The literature data about the distribution of mononuclear cells in Crohn's disease are still contradictory. In 50 surgical C.D. patients, clinically classified corresponding to the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), the T-lymphocytes and their subsets helper-T- and suppressor-T-lymphocytes (TH/TS) were therefore determined by use of monoclonal antisera, the B-lymphocytes by F(a b)-anti human Ig and the macrophages by uptake of latex microparticles. 37 C.D. patients underwent diseased bowel removal. Blood was drawn from the Crohn-draining mesenteric vein for analysis. Further investigations were performed at the 10th p. op. day as well as after an average period of 7 months (2-18). In comparison the mononuclear cell distribution was examined in 14 patients suffering from chronic osteitis and in 14 patients without any inflammatory disease as controls. C.D. patients showed preoperatively a significantly decreased TH/TS-ratio as well as a significantly increased proportion of macrophages. There was a lymphocytopenia in the peripheral differential blood count. Whereas the distribution of mononuclear subpopulations in the mesenteric blood was identical to the peripheral blood, significant lymphocytosis in the differential blood count of mesenteric blood was found. On the 10th p. op. day the TH/TS-ratio rose almost up to normal, which continued during the follow-up period. The macrophages remained constantly increased in all stages of investigation although during the follow-up none of the patients had signs of disease recurrence. Osteitis patients showed a similar distribution as C.D. patients, even if the changes compared to controls were not as distinct. The proportion of B-lymphocytes was the same in all groups examined. The individual TH/TS-ratios and proportions of macrophages of C.D. patients did not correlate to their clinical data. The changes within the T-cell-subpopulations seem to reflect less M. Crohn's disease itself than its inflammatory complications. Further studies have to be undertaken concerning the impact of the constant increase in macrophages, even after resection of the Crohn bearing bowel segment.
