[Intrahepatic distribution of lymphocyte subsets and mast cells in patient's liver with hepatolithiasis].

A study of the amount, distribution and proportion of lymphocyte subsets and mast cells in the patient's liver with hepatolithiasis by immunohistochemical techniques found that: (1) The total amount of lymphocyte subsets and mast cells in hepatolithiasis livers was greatly increased. (2) Both cell-mediated immune and humoral immune responses in hepatolithiasis livers were strengthened significantly. (3) There was a disproportion among lymphocyte subsets and abnormal distribution and aggregation of lymphocyte subsets. These changes were possibly related to liver cells damage and hepatic fibrosis.
