| Abstract: | Desympathization of the rat jejunum has been performed by means of periarterial sympathectomy of the cranial mesenteric artery. In total preparations of the jejunum wall, by means of water-aldehyde method, catecholamines have been revealed for controlling desympathization effectiveness. Signs of reinnervation appear in 180 days after the operation. In paraffin sections, stained by general histological methods, morphometric analysis of the most important parameters of the mucous membrane is performed (height of the villi, depth of the crypts, villus/crypt index, height of the epithelium, amount of goblet cells and interepithelial lymphocytes) Height of the villi and villus/crypt index increase in 1, 3 and 14 days, while in 7 days after the operation depth of the crypts increases, and the index mentioned decreases. Height of epithelium in the villi decreases in 14, 30 and 90 days. In 3-30 days after the operation amount of interepithelial lymphocytes increases. |
