As the microorganisms rests on the mucosal surface, culture of the mucosal biopsy may be a possible alternative method. AIM To study the role of jejunal mucosal biopsy culture to assess jejunal microflora and to compare it with jejunal fluid culture. MET...
متن کاملMorphometric study of healthy jejunal and ileal mucosa in adult and aged subjects.
Small intestine mucosa is often affected with malabsorptive, autoimmune and inflammatory pathological processes. However, morphometric data on the healthy human small intestine mucosa, especially ileum, are scarce. We aimed to obtain histoquantitative data on the healthy jejunal and ileal mucosa and assess the effects of gender and ageing on these parameters. Computer-aided morphometric analysi...
