    Notes: Summary 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-treated adult epidermis as well as untreated fetal and adult epidermis were investigated to elucidate the effect of TPA in terms of cell differentiation using techniques of ultrastructural stereology. Twenty-four hours after a single application of TPA, the treated epidermis was characterized by involutional changes, i. e., increased volume density of intercellular spaces and of mitochondria, vacuoles, and cytoplasmic ground substance in the basal layer. However, 48 h after application, the TPA-treated epidermis was very similar to fetal epidermis, i. e., high volume density of nuclei ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, membrane-coating granules, and keratohyalin granules, and low volume density of bundled filaments in the upper layers. These stereological data indicate that the changes observed 48 h after TPA treatment were related not only to increased cell proliferation but also to inhibition of cell differentiation expressed as a reversion of the adult differentiation patterns and the acquisition of fetal characteristics in all epidermal layers.

    Notes: Abstract.  Autopsy material was examined from British children dying early in the course of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). These presented after 1983, the period in which verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) infection was confirmed as the leading cause of diarrhoea-associated (D+HUS) in the United Kingdom. Of 18 cases referred for this study, 3 were found on review to have no history of a diarrhoeal prodrome (D-HUS). In the D+ patients, the median duration from onset of diarrhoea to death was 8 days (range 4–42 days). VTEC infection was confirmed in 6 cases. All had neutrophilia at presentation (median 21, range 15–49.8 × 109/l). The 15 cases had uniform pathological features, consisting of glomerular thromboses and congested rather than ischaemic glomeruli. Arteriolar thromboses were common at the hilum of glomeruli and were sometimes also seen proximally, including in interlobular arteries. There were cortical infarcts in 5 cases with extensive thrombosis. Cases were demonstrated to have significantly greater numbers of neutrophils expressed per 100 glomeruli than controls, when counted using immunohistological stains to neutrophil elastase and CD15. This study showed uniformity of the renal changes in D+ HUS and gave further evidence of the importance of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    Notes: Abstract  The role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy was explored using an established rat model in which ricin with or without lipopolysaccharide induced glomerular thrombosis. Ricin alone caused a small rise in the plasma concentration of nitric oxide (control 9.2±0.7 µM, ricin 23.3±6.3 µM at 7 h). This increase occurred after the development of glomerular thrombosis. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in the kidney showed no significant change from control values (control 5.66±2.7 pmol/min per ml homogenate, ricin 7.52±1.8 pmol/min per ml homogenate, total activity). When ricin and lipopolysaccharide were administered together, calcium-independent NOS activity increased whereas calcium-dependent activity decreased (1.22±2.6 pmol/min per ml homogenate). The increase in calcium-independent NOS activity correlated with a high plasma concentration of interleukin-1β in the ricin plus lipopolysaccharide group (4,036.83±1,001.5 pg/ml). These data indicate that thrombus formation in a rat model of haemolytic uraemic syndrome is independent of the effects of nitric oxide.

    Notes: Abstract The mean minimal capillary transit time was estimated in muscles of various animals using a combination of physiological and morphometric methods. Radioactive microspheres were injected intravascularly in various animals running on a treadmill at maximum oxygen consumption rate (VO2,max) to label blood flow to individual muscles. The muscles were then removed and preserved by standard methods for electron microscopy. The volume density of mitochondria was measured to assess muscle oxidative capacity. Capillary densities in muscle cross-sections, capillary diameters and tortuosities were incorporated into an estimate of capillary volume per unit muscle mass. Mean capillary transit time (t c) in the exercising muscles was estimated by dividing mass-specific capillary volume by mass-specific blood flow. Estimates of t c ranged from values near 1 s in horse heart and thigh muscles to 0.2 s in duck gastrocnemius. The relationship between muscle blood flow and t c was hyperbolic. The experimental data indicate a limiting value of 0.2 s for transit times at very high blood flows. There was no correlation between t c and body-mass-specific VO2,max.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between maximal oxygen consumption rate ( $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ ) and mitochondrial content of skeletal muscles was examined in horses and steers (n=3 each). Samples of the heart left ventricle, diaphragm,m. vastus medialis, m. semitendinosus, m. cutaneous thoracicus andm. masseter, as well as samples of muscles collected in a whole-body sampling procedure, were analyzed by electron microscopy. $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ per kilogram body mass was 2.7× greater in horses than steers. This higher $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ was in proportion to the higher total volume of mitochondria in horse versus steer muscle when analyzed from the whole-body samples and from the locomotor muscle samples. In non-locomotor muscles, total mitochondrial volume was greater in horses than steers, but not in proportion to their differences in $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ . The $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ of the mitochondria was estimated to be close to 4.5 ml O2·ml−1 mitochondria in both species. It is concluded that in a comparison of a highly aerobic to a less aerobic mammalian species of similar body size, a higher oxidative potential may be found in all muscles of the more aerobic species. This greater oxidative potential is achieved by a greater total volume of skeletal muscle mitochondria.
