An ocular micrometer was used to measure a number of parameters of the defect on paraffin slices passing through the center of a wound and gastric or intestinal ulcer: the distance between the edges of the preserved "old" muscular layer and mucous membrane, the width of the non-epithelialized zone of the defect, the length of the layer of newly formed epithelium, the height of the growing connective tissue in the fundus of the defect, etc. Some integral indices may be also calculated from the initial data obtained. The measurement data allow the judgement to be formed on the degree of tissue contraction in the defect area, the magnitude of the growing connective tissue in the defect fundus, the degree of the defect epithelialization and differentiation of the newly formed mucous membrane. The technique suggested is particularly effective during studies into the time course of the defect healing and in the appraisal of the methods for correcting the process. |
