Quantitative evaluation of the cell population structure of the liver biopsy specimens of patients with chronic hepatitis B

The aim of this work was to perform a statistical analysis of quantitative changes of the cell population structure of the liver biopsy specimens in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The data from computer microscopy of 707 serial section micrographs of liver biopsies were analyzed. The investigation showed an existence of statistically significant differences in cell populations of portal zones from populations of medium and central zones. The dependences between some characteristics of cell populations and blood indexes were discovered in terms of the dependence between different range evaluations.
