Abstract:
Objective: To observe the changes of Cajal interstitial cells(CIC) in the intestine of rats with liver cirrhosis,so as to study the mechanism of gastrointestinal dysfunction.Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were equally randomized into control group and cirrhosis model group.Cirrhosis model was established by CCl_(4) in rats.The intestinal motility changes were assayed using Dextran blue-2000 as an indicator.Immunohistochemical staining was used to investigate the distribution of c-kit positive CIC in jejunum of rats.Meanwhile,the ultrastructure of CIC was observed by electron microscope.Results: Compared with control group,the intestinal motility and the c-kit positive CIC in jejunum were both markedly decreased in model group(both P
