ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the continuous pathological features of biopsy specimens from five cases of small bowel allotransplantation (SBT) in order to provide more reliable information for the diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection (AR) in SBT.Methods324 biopsy specimens of intestinal mucosa after SBT from 5 patients were collected and studied by histology,histochemistry and electron microscopy.ResultsIn the early stage after operation (0~3 months),AR IND-1 grade was diagnosed for four times on 3 of 5 patients.During 3-6 months,AR IND-1 grade for three times was diagnosed in 2 cases,and AR 2 grade for two times during 7 ~ 12 months. All the patients suffered ischemia reperfusion injury, lymphatic vessel reconstruction and AR.Conclusion The pathological examination of biopsy specimens of intestinal mucosa is still the most reliable detecting method to diagnose AR,and continuous observation may play an important role to monitor the occurrence,development,and treatment response of AR. The final diagnosis of AR depends on structure of intestinal mucosa,crypt epithelium injury and inflammatory cells infiltration. The communication among the pathologist and surgeon is the best way to reduce misdiagnoses.Ultrastructural examination is used to verify the pathogenic microorganism.
