    Notes: Summary Fifty consecutive AIDS autopsy cases were evaluated. All subjects showed one or more opportunistic infections and malignancies included in the AIDS case definition with cytomegalovirus and Kaposi's sarcoma being most prevalent. Mycobacterial and cryptococcal infections occurred only infrequently. Most patients of our series after successful treatment ofPneumocystis carinii pneumonia or cerebral toxoplasmosis later succumbed to less treatable conditions like disseminated cytomegalovirus or fungal infections or malignant lymphoma. In the absence of specific treatment for the HIV infection leading to these lethal complications special emphasis must be put on the prevention of HIV transmission and spread.

    Notes: Summary Forty three cases of palmar fibromatosis were studied by light and electron microscopy, enzyme histochemistry, and ultrastructural immunohistochemistry. By electron microscopy most of the cells composing the nodules in both the proliferative and the involutional stages were identical to myofibroblasts. The myofibroblasts in the involutional nodules often possessed microfilament aggregates probably representing contraction of micro(actin)fllaments in the cytoplasm. The proliferative nodules revealed small perivascular haemorrhages and haemosiderin deposits accompanied by accumulation of macrophages and some lymphocytes; these inflammatory cells possibly secrete a certain growth factor inducing proliferation of genetically abnormal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Diaminopeptidase IV was detected in myofibroblasts and fibroblasts by enzyme histochemistry and ultrastructural immunohistochemistry; the enzyme may play a role in the metabolism of intercellular substances. Some perivascular mesenchymal cells, interpreted as variants of myofibroblasts, had moderate activity of alkaline phosphatase.

    Notes: Summary In rats chronic hypoxia causes extramedullary haematopoiesis mainly localized in the spleen. It is not known how splenic erythropoiesis develops and how it regresses after termination of hypoxia. In this study the spleen of rats exposed to chronic hypoxia was studied by light and electron microscopy; the findings were compared to relevant peripheral blood values. Splenic erythropoiesis begins almost immediately after exposure to hypoxia and reaches its maximum after 24 weeks. It occurs mainly in the splenic cords drawing upon local erythroblasts and is accompanied by an increase in splenic weight as well as a decrease in splenic iron stores. After termination of hypoxia marked phagocytosis by splenic cord macrophages diminishes the number of erythroblasts and of erythrocytes with a concomitant increase in splenic iron stores. Thus, splenic erythropoiesis appears to be inhibited as part of a rebound phenomenon and returned to normal by phagocytosis of erythroid cells within 4 weeks after cessation of the hypoxic stimulus.

    Notes: Summary Interdigitating cells are demonstrated as a special type of fixed cell in the periarteriolar lymphocytic sheaths of the human spleen. These cells show typical ultrastructural features as well as a characteristic enzyme histochemical pattern that distinguish them from other reticular cells in the splenic white pulp.
