Особенности строения буккального эпителия студенток из Индии в разные фазы менструального цикла

Abstract

Nowadays the morphometric parameters of the buccal epithelium in the different phases of the menstrual cycle in different environmental conditions are studied insufficiently. Thus, the aim of this work was to study the structural features of the buccal epithelium in Indian female students in the different phases of the menstrual cycle. The buccal epithelium was taken to measure the area of the nuclei, cytoplasm of epithelial cells and the nucleocytoplasmic index in the proliferative and secretory phases of the menstrual cycle in 16 Indian females who were first year students of Belgorod State National Research University. In the secretory phase in comparison to the proliferative phase polynuclear cells, a large number of white blood cells and clusters of squamous cells were identified in smears of the epithelium. The increase of the area of the cells’ cytoplasm, nuclei and nucleocytoplasmic index were seen. The proliferation phase is dominated by cells of stratum spinosum. In the phase of secretion squamous cells, the white blood cells and polynuclear cells were identified, which may be due to the influence of estrogen-progesterone background. The appearance of cells with micronuclei in both phases is possibly due to an adaptation to stress in a changing environment.
