OBJECTIVE: To explore the morphological basis of portal hypertension happened at the early stage of liver damage.
METHODS: Sixteen mongrel dogs were injected intraperitoneally with carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) once a week for 4 weeks and then once every 4 days, totally for 7 weeks. Before the experiment and 7 weeks after the beginning of experiment, small pieces of liver tissues were taken through a median upper abdominal incision and underwent HE staining, Masson's staining, and immunohistochemistry with alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) to label the activated astrocyte (hepatic stellate cell, HSC), and transmission electron microscopy. The portal vein pressure was measured by puncture of gastroepiploic vein. The diameter of spleen was measure too.
RESULTS: Since the second weeks after the experiment, the dogs showed vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, and varicose vein in the abdominal wall. One dog died of toxic enteritis 3 weeks after the beginning of experiment. 7 weeks after the injection of CCl(4), the average portal vein pressure of the rest 115 dogs was 22.7 cm H(2)O +/- 1.5 cm H(2)O, significantly higher than that before the experiment (12.2 cm H(2)O +/- 1.9 cm H(2)O, 1cm H(2)O = 0.098 kPa, P < 0.05). The long diameter of spleen of the 15 dogs was 24.4 +/- 3.1 cm, significantly greater than that before the experiment (18.7 cm +/- 2.4 cm, P < 0.05). Seven weeks after the injection of CCl(4) the appearance of liver did not change remarkably among the dogs, however, the spleens of the dogs showed swelling and stagnation of blood. No obvious ascites was seen. HE staining showed slight liver damage, such as fatty degeneration of liver cells; Masson's staining and electron microscopy showed typical sinusoid capillarization. alpha-SMA immunohistochemistry stain showed increased number of activated HSCs. Immunohistochemistry showed a number of alpha-SMA positive cells in the hepatic lobules. Portal hypertension was successfully induced in 15 dogs.
CONCLUSION: At the early stage of liver damage the possible cause of portal hypertension is the increased resistance of blood stream due to sinusoid capillarization and activation of HSC.
