Abstract :

Objective: To establish the histological and morphometric features of the human cerebral arterial circle as significant for cerebral circulation disorders development.

Methods: The places of Willis circle vessels bifurcation were studied on 120 human brain preparations after staining with hematoxylin and eosin, Van-Gizon, orcein by Uann-Terzen, Sudan and with immunohistochemistry.

Results: Reconstruction of cerebral vessels walls was determined inner layer growth (intimate thickenings), gradual thinning the middle layer till complete disappearance (p<0.05). The intimate thickenings growth was represented by 3 periods: (1) Formation (2-21 years); (2) slow growth (22-55 years); and (3) rapid growth (after 56 years). The medial layer in the first period of mature age (22-35 years) thinned by 53%; in the second period (36-55 years) by 59% and in the elderly age (56-74 years) by 79% or it was absent at all, that contribute to protrusion of the apical angle wall. Intimate thickenings were undergone an agerelated reconstruction caused by atherogenesis (appearance of lipid inclusions, moderate expression of Ki-67 protein).

Conclusion: The histological and morphological features of human intimal thickenings were revealed. The following periods were distinguished as the crucial for cerebral circulation disorders development: The 1st period (30-35 years) - the medial layer thickness in branching vessel decreased significantly, that might contribute to the aneurysm formation; the 2nd period (after 56 years) - there was a significant increase in the height of intimal thickenings, that could lead to the vascular stenosis.
