ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between CD34 expression or microvessel density and hepatic fibrosis degree in advanced schistosomiasis patients.MethodsThirty-five advanced schistosomiasis patients and 5 control patients were included in this study.CD34 expression in liver tissue was measured with immunohistochemistry while microvessel density(MVD)of liver tissue was evaluated under a light microscope.ResultsCD34 expression and MVD value were significantly correlated with hepatic fibrosis degree in liver tissue from the advanced schistosomiasis patients.ConclusionsCD34 expression and MVD value are two histological parameters representing the liver sinusoid changes during fibrogenesis in advanced schistosomiasis patients.
