Cytogenetic features of cervical epithelium at inflammatory diseases

Functional status of epithelial cells at inflammatory cervical pathologies has been studied with the use of cytogenetic method of detection of chromosome nucleolar organizer regions. The highest level of rRNA proliferation and synthesis has been detected in cylindrical epithelial cells using the indexes of compact and transitional nucleolonemic types of nucleolar organizer regions, a higher level – in squamous cells of intermediate type, and the lowest one in squamous epithelium of superficial type.
