Each nonparenchymal cell and parenchymal cell of the liver interacts with all others and with the extracellular matrix. Therefore, the functional ability of each cell is constantly being modified by the metabolic activity of the others.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Human liver biopsies (132), needle or surgical, perfusion\u2010fixed with glutaraldehyde and processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and occasionally for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were examined. The study included liver diseases (such as alcoholic liver diseases, benign and malignant liver tumors, cholestasis of various origins, fulminant hepatitis, acute rejection after orthotopic liver transplantation, Budd\u2010Chiari syndrome), as well as general or extrahepatic diseases (such as diabetes, hemochromatosis, hypervitaminosis A, various hematological disorders), and normal controls.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Ultrastructural abnormalities are described and illustrated under two different headings: (1) elementary lesions of sinusoidal cells (endothelial, Kupffer, perisinusoidal and pit cells), nonsinusoidal cells (in the space of Disse and\/or in the lumen), the extracellular matrix; and (2) the major pathological entities including perisinusoidal fibrosis, capillarization of sinusoids, sinusoidal dilatation, and peliosis. In the discussion, an overview of the major abnormalities reported in the literature is presented, and some specific questions regarding (1) perisinusoidal fibrosis in liver with normal histology, (2) the overload of perisinusoidal cells with lipids in non\u2010hypervitaminosis A intoxication and (3) the etiological relationship of sinusoidal dilatation, peliosis, perisinusoidal fibrosis, or sinusoidal tumors with drugs and toxic compounds are discussed. In the event that lesions are not specific to any diagnosis, the knowledge of the ultrastructure of sinusoids is extremely useful from the perspective of the liver as an ecosystem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jemt.1060140307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,24]],"date-time":"2005-02-24T08:59:37Z","timestamp":1109235577000},"page":"257-282","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Fine structure of hepatic sinusoids and sinusoidal cells in disease"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Le Bail","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Bioulac\u2010Sage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Senuita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Quinton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Saric","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Balabaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"87","volume-title":"Sinusoids in Human Liver: Health and Disease","author":"Balabaud C.","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0232-1513(85)80037-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1711440308"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.1985.tb02433.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diabetes.31.12.1061"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"417","volume-title":"Marker Proteins in Inflammation","author":"Bioulac\u2010Sage P.","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/01913128609015562"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","first-page":"415","volume-title":"Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid I","author":"Bioulac\u2010Sage P.","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","first-page":"815","article-title":"Ultrastructure of sinusoids in patient with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia","volume":"18","author":"Bioulac\u2010Sage P.","journal-title":"J.
