Objective: to identify markers of tissue hypoxia in Crohn’s disease in children: markers and methods for overcoming it.Materials and methods: 27 children with Crohn’s disease (CD) aged from 1 year to 18 years were examined. Histological, histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis of biopsy samples of the colon mucosa.Results: morphological markers of tissue hypoxia in CD were identified: the presence of predominantly immature fibroblasts, infiltration of the muscle plate by neutrophilic granulocytes, necrotizing vasculitis, the phenomenon of the grouping of inactive macrophages with each other with the formation of multinucleated cells, which are the precursors of multinucleated granules according to the Pigorov-Lanhans typeConclusion: in identifying markers of tissue hypoxia, leading to a worsening prognosis of the course of CD and the development of complications, it is necessary to determine the tactics of accelerated “step-up” therapy using anticytokine drugs and use the method of hyperbaric oxygenation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
