Abstract
The purpose of the work was to study morphological changes
in immunocompetent organs, liver and lungs during experimental endotoxemia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
The histological method with hematoxylin-eosin staining and
subsequent microscopic analysis was used in the work. The
histostructural damage to the immune system organs (thymus,
spleen, lymph nodes) occurs in experimental endotoxemia
caused by LPS. There is a circulatory disorder with morphological changes in all layers of the vascular walls. Necrobiotic
and necrotic damage to organ cells was also revealed. The liver
of experimental animals underwent especially pronounced
changes in histostructure. Significant microcirculation disorders with dilation and congestion of vessels of various sizes
and significant damage to endothelial cells were identified.
Necrotic changes in hepatocytes were accompanied by a
significant increase in stellate reticuloendotheliocytes and
increased lymphocytic infiltration, which is the basis for liver
dysfunction and the development of an inflammatory immune
reaction. In conclusion, the data obtained on the morphological manifestations of endotoxemic damage can serve as the basis for the development of effective therapeutic approaches
in the treatment of LPS-induced internal organ damage.
