    Notes: Summary An immunohistochemical study was made of ten cases of asymptomatic and three cases of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst. The cysts in the asymptomatic cases had monolayer columnar or cuboidal epithelium. Within the epithelium, cells which were positive for at least one of the pituitary hormones were found. The rate of positive reactions for these six pituitary hormones was between 70% and 100%. In contrast, the cysts in the symptomatic cases had an epithelium which was partly stratified squamous and partly squamous epithelium, and none of the pituitary hormones were found in them. Therefore, when a Rathke's cleft cyst enlarges to the extent that clinical symptoms are produced, we consider that changes have already occurred in structure and function of the cyst epithelium. In addition, we believe there is a tendency for monolayer epithelia to undergo squamous metaplasia and for cells which are positive for pituitary hormones to change into non-granulated cells.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The luminance detectors in the olivary pretectal nucleus, which are likely candidates mediating the pupillary light reflex, responded to all frequencies of sinusoidally modulated light up to 12–25 Hz. At low frequencies (0.05–4.0 Hz) the luminance detectors responded with modulated firing to different stimulation rates. The modulation depth of the cell response increased with the increase in stimulation frequency up to 20 Hz, then rapidly fell. There was a delay between the peak intensity of the stimulus and the peak firing of cell response of about 30–40 ms. The amplitudes of the consensual pupil responses to the same sinusoidal stimulus, on the other hand, decreased with an increase in frequency and no discernible response was recorded above 2 Hz. The pupil responses were little affected by sympathectomy. The differences in the frequency response characteristics of luminance detectors and the pupil were attributed to the sluggish dynamic properties of the pupil muscles. This was demonstrated using an electronic model of the iris muscle which modified the responses of the luminance detectors giving output waveforms broadly resembling pupil responses to square and sinusoidally modulated lights.
