    Notes: A new programme of general family and consumer science for all high school students that can contribute to career education was proposed. The programme had three sessions: ‘single life’, ‘family life’ and ‘retired life’ from the typical three main life stages. Students were challenged to think about their future with regard to real life issues such as housing, location, budgeting time and finances, and family issues. Students were able to consider their future life concretely and specifically from various viewpoints after taking part in this programme. Students also found value in home economics education in developing life skills and knowledge, in considering their actual life and in considering their future life.

    Notes: The clinico-pathologic, immunohistochemical and radiological features of 12 jaw cysts with a prominent orthokeratinized epithelial lining were studied and compared with those of typical odontogenic keratocysts and dentigerous cysts. They differed significantly from odontogenic keratocysts in terms of biologic behavior and histopathologic findings. Although immunohistochemical staining of the epithelial linings for cytokeratins. EMA, CEA and involucrin has not shed any light on the histogenesis of these lesions, staining patterns for these markers were significantly different from those of odontogenic keratocysts and non-keratinized dentigerous cysts. Radiologically, nine cases appeared as dentigerous cysts; two cases, one with sebaceous differentiation, as non-dentigerous unilocular cysts, and the remaining one was exceptional as it showed multiple epidermal cysts with prominent dermal appendages histologically. It is suggested that most of the orthokeratinized jaw cysts may belong to ctinko-pathological entities different from odontogenic keralocysts with the majority representing dentigerous cysts with orthokeratinization. The possibility of the existence of rare central dermoid or epidermoid cysts is also to be considered.

    Notes: A case of clear cell odontogenic tumour, which occurred centrally in the mandible of a 56-year-old Japanese woman, is reported with its histochemical, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings. Histologically, the tumour nests were composed of large glycogen-rich clear cells and small non-clear polygonal cells and were separated by thin mature fibrous connective tissue septae. Immunohistochemically, both types of tumour cells showed positive expression of various cytokeratins, in particular cytokeratin 19, and of epithelial membrane antigen. Eosinophilic hyaline deposits and possible dentin-like structures were occasionally formed in contact with the epithelial nests and are regarded as indicative of the epithelial-mesenchymal inductive capacity of this tumour. The aggressive nature of the present tumour was assumed through its invasive growth pattern and occasional mitotic figures. Although it was diagnosed as clear cell odontogenic tumour according to the present WHO classification, the patient must be followed carefully because of its probable malignant nature.

    Notes: To investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on phagocytic activity of collagen fibrils by periodontal fibroblasts, we studied rat molar gingival connective tissue and periodontal ligament under light and electron microscopy after topical application of LPS (5 mg/ml in physiological salt solution (PS)) on the gingival sulcus. Phagocytic activity of collagen fibrils by fibroblasts was evaluated by counting the number of collagen-containing vacuoles inside fibroblasts that were present within a defined area (1200 μm2). Values obtained from fibroblasts in the subepithelial connective tissue, the region near the alveolar crest, and the middle region of periodontal tissue were compared. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts showed increased phagocytosis of the collagen fibrils from 3 hours to 1 day after topical LPS application, but no differences were observed in the gingival tissue. The intracytoplasmic vacuoles containing collagen fibrils were of various sizes and shapes, showing positive for acid phosphatase and/or alkaline phosphatase reaction. Collagen phagocytic activity of the fibroblasts in the middle region of the periodontal ligament also increased after PS treatment. However, this was significantly less than that observed in LPS-treated animals (p〈0.01). This study indicates that LPS may enhance the degradation of collagen by stimulating the phagocytic activity of the periodontal ligament fibroblasts.

    Notes: To discuss the role of macrophage lineage cells on the periodontal tissue destruction, we immunohistochemically examined the phenotype and the dynamics of macrophage lineage cells 1 or 3 h or 1, 2, 3 or 7 d after topical application of LPS (5 mg/ml in physiological saline) from the rat gingival sulcus using 3 monoclonal antibodies: OX6 (antigen-presenting cells), ED1 (monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells) and ED2 (resident macrophages). We could detect at least 3 different types of macrophage lineage cells, namely OX6+/ED1+/ED2− dendritic cells and exudate macrophages and ED2+ resident macrophages. After LPS application the majority of macrophage lineage cells accumulated in the subjunctional epithelial area were newly extravasated OX6+/ED1+/ED2− dendritic cells or macrophages. The number Department of Oral Pathology, Hiroshima of these cells increased progressively with time and reached a maximum level at University School of Dentistry, d 2. On the other hand, number and tissue distribution of ED2+ resident macrophages did not change. These results indicate that several types of macrophage lineage cells exist in rat gingival tissue and suggest that dendritic cells and exudate macrophages transiently accumulated after LPS application are responsible for various host immune response and tissue destruction caused by LPS.

    Notes: True malignant mixed tumor (TMMT) of salivary glands, with both carcinoma-tous and sarcomatous components, is exceedingly rare. We offer a case of TMMT in a 79-yr-old man, which may represent the first reported example of this unusual neoplasm arising in the tongue. The carcinomatous component was mainly of solid basaloid carcinoma with focal glandular differentiation, while the sarcomatous component was composed of pleomorphic elements such as chondrosarcoma, myxosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. Carcinoma cells at the periphery of solid nests occasionally merged into these sarcomatous elements. Immunohis-tochemically, basaloid carcinoma cells showed positive reaction for both low molecular weight cytokeratin and S-100 protein, whereas carcinoma cells lining ductal spaces were positive for a wide spectrum of keratin and EMA. The sarcomatous elements revealed the presence of vimentin and S-100 protein. Ultra-structurally, basal lamina-like material and/or mucoid precipitates often accumulated separating the tumor cells from each other singly or into a few cell group. Some sarcomatous cells assumed the myoepithelial features, such as the presence of microfilament bundles with dense bodies and pinocytotic vesicles along the cell periphery. These findings may indicate that TMMT shares a common histogenesis with pleomorphic adenoma.

    Notes: The tumor matrix of salivary pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is characteristically rich in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which contribute to its complex histoarchitecture. This study evaluated the microscopic localization of various GAGs in 17 PAs, using a panel of anti-GAG monoclonal antibodies and biotinylated hyaluronic acid (HA)-binding protein. Both epithelial and mesenchymal-like tissues were confirmed to contain GAGs. Luminal epithelial cells mostly lacked GAGs, whereas GAGs were seen both in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of non-luminal epithelial cells. In addition, small intercellular accumulations of GAGs were often present in solid epithelial areas, implying the epithelial origin of GAGs. GAGs did not appear to be a main component of the hyaline matrix. The myxoid region was consistently stained for both chondroitin 6-sulfate (CS-6) and HA but variably for chondroitin 4-sulfate (CS-4), dermatan sulfate (DS) and keratan sulfate (KS); heparan sulfate (HS) was not detected. The chondroid region showed increased staining for CS-6 but reduced staining for HA when compared with the myxoid region. In addition, CS-4, DS and KS were seen both in chondroid cells and the territorial matrix, whereas HS was present only in the cells. It is suggested that GAGs in PA are mainly produced by non-luminal cells and influence the proliferation, differentiation, secretory activity and shape of tumor cells, thus contributing to the morphological diversity of this tumor.

    Notes: Zhao M, Takata T, Kudo Y, Sato S, Ogawa I, Wakida K, Uchida T, Nikai H: Biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and aggrecan by tumor cells in salivary pleomorphic adenoma: ultrastructural evidence. J Oral Pathol Med 1999; 28: 442–50. © Munksgaard, 1999.The present study attempted to discover the sites of synthesis of various glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and aggrecan in salivary pleomorphic adenoma (PA) with the use of a highly sensitive and specific post-embedding immunogold-silver staining technique at the ultrastructural level. Silver particles representing various GAGs and aggrecan were found to accumulate frequently in the intercellular spaces of non-luminal cells in the epithelial clusters and were dispersed in the myxoid matrix of the mesenchyme-like areas. Furthermore, the non-luminal epithelial cells were demonstrated to contain immunopositive intracytoplasmic vesicles and vacuoles, some of which were of Golgi complex origin. In contrast, intracellular silver particles for hyaluronic acid were mostly attached to the inner surface of the cell membrane. These observations agree well with the current theories of the biosynthesis of GAGs and proteoglycans and provide direct evidence for the production of various GAGs and aggrecan by tumor epithelial cells of PA. Such findings support the ideas that in PA a loss of epithelium occurs by stromali-zation following epithelial secretion of extracellular matrix substances and transformation of epithelium to mesenchyme represents the basic principle of the tissue heterogeneity in this tumor.

    Notes: An ameloblastic fibro-odontoma which occurred in the mandible of a 3-year-old Japanese boy is reported together with immunohistochemical findings. Histologically, the tumor consisted of an ameloblastic fibroma-like area and some typical complex odontoma-like areas. The epithelial islands in the ameloblastic fibroma-like area showed different developmental stages of the epithelial-connective tissue interface. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that all epithelial components in the ameloblastic fibroma-like area showed expression of CK 8, CKs 13, 16, CK 14, CK 18 and CK 19, and coexpression of these cytokeratins and vimentin. These findings suggest that even the epithelial component without obvious epithelial-mesenchymal induction showed the final cell differentiation of the enamel organ with the potential for epithelial-mesenchymal induction.
