  • Title: [The effect of trauma on the structural-temporal organization of the T-dependent zone of a regional lymph node].
    Author: Smirnova TS.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1991; 101(11-12):29-35. PubMed ID: 1845494.
    Abstract:
    Experiments in 238 white mice have shown that after trauma there was a change in the population density (PD) of immune competent cells in the T-dependent zone of the regional lymph node (LN) both in the center of the deep cortex and in the T-territory adjacent to the germinative center. PD of small lymphocytes increases on the 1st-3rd days after trauma and returns to the initial level by the 4th-5th day. PD of mitotically dividing cells, immunoblasts, plasmablasts, immature and mature plasmocytes dramatically decreased on the 3rd day while an inconsiderable elevation of their PD took place on the 1st day in T-territory. The increased PD of small lymphocytes in the regional LN seems to be associated with their intensified release from the injury focus. The suppressed proliferation and differentiation of the plasmocyte line cells is the reaction to operation stress: in the posttraumatic period the spectral composition of fluctuations of PD of cells and parameters of its rhythmical components (both in the center of the deep cortex and in T-territory) were changed. As a rule, there was a displacement of acrophase and lessening of the rhythm amplitude. The general potency of the process after trauma increased. The amount of circadian components in the spectral composition of rhythmicity and their potency increased which speaks of central hormonal influences becoming greater.
