Structure of gastric wall in wistar rats in health and after experimental traumatic brain injury.
The structure of gastric wall was studied by histological methods in Wistar rats in health and after skull trephination and insertion of a needle into the brain. Experimental brain injury led to the development of destructive changes in the gastric wall (in the lymphoid structures located between the gland bottoms and muscle plate of the mucosa). Changes in the structure of cardiac glands and desquamation of the epithelium were detected. Microcirculation was disordered, signs of inflammation appeared. The counts of medium-sized lymphocytes and plasma cells increased in the layer of lymphoid cells and in the submucosa.
