Intestinal Plexus Research Articles

Some ultrastructural aspects of autonomic intestinal plexus of rat.

In investigations of the structure of the intestinal autonomic nervous system and particularly its intramural elements considerable difficulties arise connected with the isolation of minute nervous elements in the intestinal wall. Only electron microscope examination made possible evaluation of the intramural plexus together with nerve branchings of the III order. According to most investigators the alimentary tract is innervated both by the sympathetic and the parasympathetic system. The present is a preliminary investigation of the relations between these two systems at the ultrastructural level in the intramural nerve bundles.

Professor Valery Nikolaevich Murat

September 30, 1960 marks the 60th anniversary of the birth and 30 years of scientific, pedagogical and social activities of the head of the Anatomy Department of the Kazan Medical Institute, Honored Scientist of the TASSR, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Valery Nikolaevich Murat. V. N. Murat's scientific activity is aimed mainly at studying the structure of the autonomic nervous system. So, he established (1933) a regularity in the distribution of elements of a different nature in a person in the composition of nerve nodes, intramural intestinal nerve plexuses, in addition, he confirmed the fact of a gradual increase in the size of type 1 cells as they approach the caudal parts of the intestinal tube, and at the same time noted the presence in the distal a segment of the rectum of cells of type 1 Dogel, differing in their size, exceeding the usual 3-4 times.

Entero-Colite: Estomac et Systeme Nerveun.

The author sustains the proposition that the condition commonly known as membranous colitis or colitis mucosa is closely connected with nervous dyspepsia and with enteroptosis. He regards the intestinal condition as directly dependent on the failure of the stomach to perform its functions, and therefore directs his therapeutic measures to the cure of the fundamental affection. He attributes the influence of the in producing the pathologic condition of the intestine the irritation of the solar plexus which is set up by abnormal gastric conditions, is transmitted to the intestinal plexus, and thus causes the intestinal symptoms. The chapter therapeutics includes a consideration of the dietetic and physical measures suitable to the cure of the dyspepsia as well as to the medicinal treatment. The importance of psychotherapy is recognized. The treatment appears to be in accordthese with the methods usually followed in the treatment of these affections. The emphasis which the author
