Morphological and histochemical analysis of mucous membrane transformation of the artificial urinary bladder

The performed morphologic study of transformation mechanisms of the intestinal reservoir mucous membrane using modern immunochemical and histochemical methods revealed three morphologic phases of enteric epithelium adaptation; reactive-inflammatory, compensatory-protective and atrophic. Enteric urinary reservoir preserves the cambial apparatus typical for the enteric phenotype with an inherent apoptosis activity and proliferation which confirms a low level of tumor transformation risk.
