    Notes: A large cyst, lined with ciliated cells (ciliated cyst), was found as a component of a pleomorphic adenoma of the left parotid gland in a 34-year-old Japanese man. The dimensions of the tumor were 25 × 33 mm and it consisted of a solid mass with a centrally located cyst 20 × 23 mm. which contained yellowish-brown material of muddy consistency. The tumor was encapsulated and the solid mass had features typical of a pleomorphic adenoma. The inner surface of the cyst was lined with ciliated cells and scattered mucus-secreting cells in addition to cuboidal-to-flattened cells. In some regions, the neoplastic cells of the pleomorphic adenoma were exposed to the cavity of the cyst. A histological transformation from ciliated cells to pleomorphic adenomatous cells was also observed. These findings indicated that the ciliated epithelium was an element of the tumor. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of a ciliated cyst derived from some elements of a pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland.

    Notes: Abstract: To clarify the pathologic value of endogenous biotin in the salivary gland, we examined in a series of neoplasms of the salivary gland by immunohistochemical staining the distribution of endogenous biotin and of biotin-binding enzymes, namely, acetyl CoA carboxylase (AC), which is a cytosolic enzyme, and pyruvate carboxylase (PC), which is a mitochondrial enzyme. In pleomorphic adenoma, we found biotin and PC in ductal epithelial elements, while AC was found mainly in myoepithelial elements. Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, adenocarcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma were frequently immunopositive for biotin, PC and AC, while adenoid cystic carcinoma was rarely immunopositive for biotin, PC or AC. These results indicate that endogenous biotin might be associated with the mitochondrial enzyme, which is present at high levels in ductal cells of the salivary gland. However, the neoplastic cells in adenoid cystic carcinoma seemed to have an unusual expression of biotin and related enzymes.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of free radicals on apoptosis was studied in the human heart; 45 autopsy cases were examined by the nick end labelling method (NELM) that detects DNA fragmentation. Immunostaining for copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) induced frequently during apoptosis were also studied. Positive immunoreaction for tTG was detected in mucinous degeneration of myocardial cells; these same cells were also positive for CuZn-SOD but negative for NELM. Myocardial cells showing basophilic alterations after haematoxylin and eosin staining were also positive for CuZn-SOD but negative for the other markers examined. Positive nuclear reaction by NELM was only observed in myocardial cells showing contraction band necrosis or irregularly shaped nuclei surrounding recent or long-standing infarcted foci. In these the other two markers were negative. Since mucinous degeneration lacks the distinguishing morphological features of apoptosis, immunoreactive tTG in this lesion may not imply that the cells are undergoing apoptosis. tTG can be induced in non-apoptotic conditions and may not be involved in apoptosis induced by infarction. Histological disassociation between CuZn-SOD expression and apoptosis suggests the possibility of a cytoprotective role played by endogenous CuZn-SOD against free radical generation in the human heart.
