Intragastric administration of the cholera toxin to gnotobiotic mini-pigs results in cyclic morphofunctional alterations of intestinal apudocytes followed by their degranulation, a decrease in their number from 1 to 3 hrs and after 18 hrs, while a slight increase in their number occurred from 3 to 12 hrs. The response of APUD-system cells is similar in large and small intestine. Products of apudocyte secretion may be involved in the diarrheogenic effect of the cholera toxin.

Aim: Study reaction of cells of APUD-system of lymphoid organs and intestine of guinea pigs at the stages of morpho- and immunogenesis in response to administration of Yersinia pestis EV Research Institute of Epidemiology and Hygiene (RIEH) line vaccine strain.
Materials And Methods: Vaccine process was modeled in guinea pigs during subcutaneous infection of animals with culture of Yersinia pestis EV RIEH line vaccine strain. Pieces of thymus, spleen, lymphatic nodes and an area of duodenum were taken for histological study.

During remissions, the count of apudocytes, serotonin-, melatonin-, vasointestinal peptide-producing, and mast cells and the parameters of cell homeostasis against the background of artrofoon therapy were much closer to the normal than during treatment with salofalk.

Group one consisted of patients with type II IBS (without atrophic changes in the colon mucosa, CM); group II consisted of patients with type II IBS (with atrophic changes in the CM); the control group consisted of 24 practically healthy individuals. All the subjects, including the healthy ones, were examined using clinical, endoscopic, immunohistochemical methods, and electron microscopy.

The patients were divided into three groups equal in number according to the severity of the disease. The controls were 24 practically healthy individuals, 64 patients with irritated bowel syndrome (IBS) without pathological changes in the colon mucosa, and 64 IBS patients with atrophic or inflammatory changes in the colon mucosa.
