    Notes: Summary A patient with intermittent erythema developed urticaria and a systemic illness associated with the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and a widespread bullous eruption. A skin biopsy showed intravascular fibrin and epidermal necrosis with no evidence of vasculitis. The patient made a complete recovery following therapy with fresh frozen plasma and platelets and pulsed intravenous methylprednisolone.

    Notes: Summary Liver electron microscopic studies were performed in 14 patients with systemic scleroderma. In 13 of these patients, giant mitochondria were demonstrated in the hepatocytes. This ultrastructal abnormality was present whatever the type and duration of the disease and was also present even when the liver was histologically normal. The mechanism of formation of giant mitochondria in systemic scleroderma is unknown.

    Notes: Summary A series of 180, Bouin-fixed and paraffin embedded liver biopsies obtained from 147 patients was investigated for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs) by histochemical and indirect immunofluorescence techniques. A comparison between orcein staining and Masson's trichrome preparations for ground glass hepatocytes, showed that immunofluorescence was both the more reliable and the more specific method for detection of HBsAg in liver tissue. The ability to perform this technique on paraffin sections facilitates systematic studies and allows retrospective work-up. IF-HBs positive hepatocytes were found in approximately two thirds of all HBs-positive patients in their serum, but never seen in HBs-negative patients. HBs-positive cells were observed in healthy chronic carriers and in all forms of chronic hepatitis, but never in acute HBs-positive hepatitis. In patients treated with chronic hemodialysis and in renal homograft recipients, the incidence of positive cells was higher than in the chronic hepatitis groups; this could be correlated with the duration of antigenemia at the time of biopsy.

    Notes: Summary Sarcolemmal membrane permeability to intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase HRP (MW=40,000) was examined in 8 Wistar rats which had temporary ischaemia produced by left coronary artery ligation. HRP reaction product was identified following 6 min of circulation time by light and electron microscopy. Controls included 4 uninjected animals with coronary ligation, 2 uninjected animals without myocardial ischaemia and 2 injected non operated rats. In normal myocardium, the tracer permeated endothelial plasmalemmal vesicles, intercellular spaces and intracellular vesicles of the T-tubule system, but never permeated the cytoplasm of myocardium cells. As early as 15 min after coronary artery ligation followed by 6 min of reperfusion with circulation of the tracer, HRP product could be seen in the cytoplasm of muscle cells randomly distributed in the subendocardial area. The quantity of permeated cells increased when the ischaemic myocardium is reperfused during 10 min before injecting the tracer. These data indicate that sarcolemmal membrane alteration is an early event in myocardial ischaemic injury and precede the irreversible cellular degenerative changes.

    Notes: Summary The cellular composition of crescents in diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is still controversial. Ten renal biopsies were studied on serial sections by using antikeratin antibodies as specific markers of epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule and both anti-macrophage and anti-lymphocyte antibodies. Semiautomatic morphometry showed that cellular crescents consisted of epithelial ceils of Bowman's capsule (24–61%), of macrophages (19–34%) and of unlabelled cells (12–53%). In each biopsy, parietal epithelial cells outnumbered macrophages within crescents.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'évolution de l'infarctus myocardique expérimental du Rat avec et sans revascularisation est précisée par une étude histochimique et histoenzymologique de 56 animaux sacrifiés à 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 heures et 7 jours. Après ischémie permanente (14 animaux) la ligature de la coronaire gauche à son origine donne un infarctus transmural étendu, de topographie antéro-latérale, marqué dès la première heure par la disparition complète de toute activité phosphorylasique (P-ase). Au cours des 6 premières heures, apparaissent les modifications de la succino-deshydrogénase (SDH) et de la cytochrome oxydase (Cyt-Ox). La glucose-6-deshydrogénase (G6PDH) persiste jusqu'à la lyse du foyer nécrotique. Surtout, il est possible de définir avec précision une zone périnécrotique, dite marginale, P-ase négative et SDH à activité granulaire ≪G≫, caractérisée par d'incessants remodelages au cours de 48 premières heures. Après ischémie temporaire (42 animaux), l'évolution est marquée par la rapidité des réactions tissulaires et la régression précoce des zones marginales. A la 48ème heure et après 7 jours de survie, l'évaluation planimétrique du territoire nécrosé montre une réduction notable de la taille de l'infarctus dans la moitié des cas après levée de ligature à la 6ème heure, et dans les deux tiers des cas après levée à la 1ère heure. Il parait probable que la récupération de certains territoires myocardiques puisse se faire à partir des zones marginales, comme le suggère la réapparition dans ces zones des activités phosphorylasique et deshydrogénasique après plusieurs heures de revascularisation. A l'opposé, il est incontestable que le rétablissement même très précoce du flux sanguin n'empêche pas toujours la constitution d'infarctus étendus. Certaines observations récentes évoquent l'intervention de perturbations microcirculatoires, secondaires à l'anoxie, dont l'étude mérite d'être poursuivie.
    Notes: Summary The evolution of experimental myocardial infarction in the Rat with or without revascularization has been studied histochemically and histoenzymatically in 56 animals sacrified after 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 hrs and 7 days. Following permanent ischemia (14 animals), there appeared an extended transversal infarction marked by the complete disappearance of all phosphorylase activity (P-ase) after the first hour. During the first 6 hrs, changes appeared in succinodeshydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome oxydase (Cyt-Ox). Glucose-6-phosphodeshydrogenase (G6PDH) persisted until lysis of the necrotic focus. It was possible to define a perinecrotic marginal area in which P-ase activity is absent and SDH is granular “G” in nature, characterized by continuous remodeling in the first 48 hrs. Following temporary ischemia (42 animals) the evolution was marked by rapid tissue reactions and early regression of the marginal zones. After 48 hrs and 7 days of survival, the planimetric evaluation of the infarcted area shows a definite reduction in the size of the infarctus in 50 % of cases following removal of the ligature after 6 hrs, and in 66 % of cases following removal of the ligature after 1 hr. It would appear probable that the revitalization of certain myocardial areas may extend from the marginal zones as is suggested by the reappearance in these zones several hrs after revascularization of P-ase and SDH activity. On the other hand, it is also true that the early restoration of blood flow does not always prevent the occurrence of an extended infarction. Certain recent observations have shown microcirculatory changes which are secondary to anoxia and should be studied further.

    Notes: Summary 69 rats underwent temporary or permanent ligation of the left coronary artery and were studied by the injection of colloidal carbon following fixation-perfusion. 10 rats were studied using the same protocol and served as controls. Localized myocardial ischemia was accompanied by microvascular changes which produced capillary obstruction when blood flow was reestablished. This phenomenon of “no-reflow” was characterized by the presence of large non perfused areas seen after brief periods of ischemia (15 min). These areas were increased when the period of ischemia was lengthened. After 30 to 60 min of interruption of blood flow the non perfused area extended over the major portion of the ischemic area. During reperfusion the “no-reflow” phenomenon displayed during the first hour showing a transitory improvement in capillary perfusion which was soon followed by a progressive reexpansion of the non injected zones. After 24 hours of reperfusion, the latter zones were identical in their extent to those cases showing tissue necrosis following permanent ischemia. This “no-reflow” phenomenon appears to play a role in the evolution of the reperfused ischémic area by excluding certain areas from the benefits of reperfusion. The most probable factors involved in this process are: increased blood viscosity, endothelial changes peri-capillary edema and the contractile state of the myocardium. The incidence of these microvascular changes, using various methods of myocardial preservation during open heart surgery operations, as well as the present attempts directed towards metabolic therapy of myocardial anoxia, are under investigation.

    Notes: Summary The distribuation of renin in two cases of segmental renal hypoplasia was investigated by immunofluorescence and the peroxidase anti-peroxidase (PAP) method using an anti-human renin antiserum. Renin-containing cells were found only in hypoplasic segments in the vicinity of altered glomeruli and small arteries. Well-preserved renal cortex and areas of chronic atrophic pyelonephritis failed to show any demonstrable site of renin production. Whatever is the mechanism of the disease, the characterization of large numbers of renin-containing cells in the affected kidney support a role for the renin-angiotensin system stimulation in this form of hypertension.

    Notes: Summary A prospective series of 45 liver biopsies taken from 22 renal transplant patients was investigated for the presence of hepatitis B antigen core (HBc) and surface (HBs) components by electron microscopy. At the time of each biopsy serum HBs Ag was sought by radioimmunoassay. Sections were taken for the detection of HBs Ag by immunofluorescence. In seropositive patients, intravesicular tubular structures resembling HBs Ag were found in 61% of biopsies while the intranuclear core HBc was present in 69%. No correlation could be made between the ultrastructural pattern of the viral components and the intensity of the histological liver damage. During the follow up, there was an accumulation of both HBs and HBc Ag even in a period as short as 1 year. The 9 liver specimens examined after three years of transplantation showed a marked accumulation of both antigens. Thus the expression of HB Ag at the hepatocellular level seems to correlate better with the duration of antigenaemia than with the histological pattern. Lastly, on matched semithin and ultrathin sections, the ground glass appearance of cytoplasm appeared to correlate with smooth endoplasmic reticulum distorsion, irrespective of the simultaneous presence or absence of intravesicular tubular structures. The sanded nuclei expressed a rare massive accumulation of core antigen.

    Notes: Abstract Small unilamellar vesicles containing clodronate (SUVc) injected intravenously will deplete splenic macrophages and the degree of histological depletion can be assessed by determining the clearance and uptake of monoclonal antibody coated erythrocytes. Splenic Fc dependent clearance, assessed in decomplemented animals, provides a more sensitive index of the effects of large multilamellar liposome encapsulated clodronate (MLVc) and SUVc than does the clearance of complement coated erythrocytes on macrophage depletion in the spleen. MLVc were more efficient than SUVc in inducing a reduction in the number of red pulp macrophages within the spleen. Receptor specific red cell uptake in the spleen could be used as an alternative to histology when assessing splenic macrophage depletion. Encapsulation of clodronate is crucial to its depleting effect since the free drug in saline does not change splenic macrophage number or function.
