    Notes: Abstract We report the pathological changes in skeletal muscle from a patient with acute adult T cell leukemia (ATL). HTLV-I provirus was detected in infiltrating cells using in situ polymerase chain reaction in frozen sections. Furthermore, aberrant expression of the p53 protein was observed in the infiltrating cells. As p53 protein was not observed in mononuclear inflammatory cells in patients with polymyositis, expression of the p53 protein was considered to be one of the characteristic findings in ATL cells. This is the first direct detection of ATL cells in skeletal muscle.

    Notes: Abstract A combination of MRI, MR angiography and MR tomographic angiography (MRTA) was used to study the relationship to the root exit zone of the trigeminal nerve to surrounding vascular structures in seven patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and ten patients with no evidence at a lesion in this region. MRTA is the technique for showing the relationship between vessels, cranial nerves and brain stem. MRTA clearly demonstrated the presence of a vessel at the root exit zone of the trigeminal nerve in all patients with TN. In the ten other patients, examination of 20 trigeminal nerves revealed that only one nerve (5%) was in contact with a vessel at the root exit zone. This study supports vascular compression of trigeminal nerves as a cause of TN, and demonstrates the value of MRTA as noninvasive technique for demonstrating compression.

    Notes: Summary We examined the intracellular localization of sugar residues of the rat gastric surface mucous cells in relation to the functional polarity of the cell organellae using preembedding method with several lectins. In the surface mucous cells, the nuclear envelope and rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) and cis cisternae of the Golgi stacks were intensely stained with Maclura pomifera (MPA), which is specific to α-Gal and GalNAc residues. In the Golgi apparatus, one or two cis side cisternae were stained with MPA and Dolichos biflorus (DBA) which is specific to terminal α-N-acetylgalactosamine residues, while the intermediate lamellae were intensely labeled with Arachis hypogaea (PNA) which is specific to Galβ 1,3 GalNAc. Cisternae of the trans Golgi region were also stained with MPA, Ricinus communis I (RCA I) which is specific to β-Gal and Limax flavus (LFA) which is specific to α-NeuAc. Immature mucous granules which are contiguous with the trans Golgi lamellae were weakly stained with RCA I, while LFA stained both immature and mature granules. The differences between each lectin's reactivity in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, in each compartment of the Golgi lamellae and in the secretory granules suggest that there are compositional and structural differences between the glycoconjugates in the respective cell organellae, reflecting the various processes of glycosylation in the gastric surface mucous cells.

    Notes: Abstract HTLV-I-infected cells play an important role in pathogenesis HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Our previous studies of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ PCR suggested that T cells infiltrating in the spinal cord lesion were infected with HTLV-I. To elucidate the localization of HTLV-I proviral DNA directly, we performed double staining using immunohistochemistry and PCR in situ hybridization (PCR-ISH). Fresh frozen sections of the spinal cord from four HAM patients taken at autopsy were first immunostained with antibodies to pan T cells (UCHL-1), macrophages (KP-1) and helper/inducer T cells (OPD4). Then PCR-ISH was carried out with specific primers and probe for the HTLV-I pX region. UCHL-1-positive cells were noted around perivascular areas and, to some extent, in the parenchyma. Of the UCHL-1-positive cells, 9.4% (case 1), 9.6% (case 2), 1.1% (case 3) and 6.7% (case 4) became positive in HTLV-I PCR-ISH. UCHL-1-negative cells were HTLV-I PCR-ISH negative and almost all KP-1-positive cells were HTLV-I negative. HTLV-I was localized to OPD4-positive cells in examined lesions of cases 2 and 4. These data are a direct demonstration of HTLV-I proviral DNA localizing to infiltrated T cells in HAM/ TSP spinal cord lesions.
