[Age and the extent and topography of solitary lymphoid nodules in the wall of the human small and large intestine].
Amount and topography of small lymphoid nodules (SLN) have been studied by means of the quantitative method in flat total preparations of the small and large intestine obtained from 111 corpses of persons of both sex (from newborn up to old age). Total amount of the SLN in the large intestine wall in all age periods exceeds that of the SLN in the small intestine wall. From birth up to the period of the 1 childhood total amount of the SLN increases successively, reaching (51 +/- 14) X 10(2) in the small and (74 +/- 11) X 10(2) in the large intestine at the age of 4-7 years. Beginning from 8 years of age up to old age, total amount of the SLN decreases successively, to a more degree in the wall of the small intestine than in the large intestine. The arrangement density of the SLN in the large intestine wall essentially exceeds that of the SLN in the small intestine wall during the all age periods. From birth up to early childhood the arrangement density of the SLN increases and then gradually decreases both in the small and large intestine. This demonstrates that development of the SLN takes place during the first 4-7 years of the human life, in contrast to the lymph nodes and tonsils, their greatest development takes place during juvenile and adolescent age.
