    Notes: Abstract This paper describes our method for producing a rat model with an isolated bladder in situ in which the bladder makes no contact with urine. First, the right kidney was removed, then an external catheter was placed in the right ureter for bladder infusions, and next the left ureter was anatomosed to the proximal part of the descending colon. The animals were treated with antibiotics, and saline was infused daily into the bladder in order to prevent atrophy. This in situ model is considered to be useful in studies investigating the influence of specific compounds, such as carcinogens, on the bladder and its urothelium.

    Notes: Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is considered to be important in mammalian neonatal growth and development. In order to clarify its developmental role, we have investigated, by immunohistochemistry, the localization of EGF and the time of its first appearance in various organs from a series of 25 midtrimester human fetuses with a gestational age ranging from 13 to 22 weeks. The first detectable EGF immunoreactivity occurred in week 15–16 fetuses in the placenta, the skin, the distal tubules of the kidney, the surface epithelium of the stomach, and the tips of the small intestinal villi, as well as in a few Paneth cells. Glandular structures, such as the glands of the cardia and the pyloric part of the stomach. Brunner's glands of the duodenum, the pancreas, and the submucous glands of the trachea, showed positive EGF immunoreactivity later (week 17). Thus, apart from the kidney, staining of the surface epithelia seems to precede staining of the EGF-producing glandular structures and EGF is not present in the glands before these have already differentiated.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of increased functional load on the macroscopical and histological appearance of the ureter was investigated. Sixty rats were divided into five groups: (1) sucrose-fed rats with non-osmotic polyuria; (2) diabetic rats with osmotic polyuria; (3) uninephrectomized rats; (4) sham-operated control rats; and (5) control rats. The 24-hour urinary volume was measured on days 7, 14 and 21. Growth of the kidney, ureter and bladder was investigated and the histological appearance of the ureter was further evaluated. Diabetic and sucrose-fed rats had comparable polyuria with a seven-fold increase in urinary output. The urinary volume for the remaining kidney was doubled in uninephrectomized rats. After 3 weeks, diabetic rats had increased weight of the kidney, ureter and bladder, sucrose-fed rats had increased weight of the bladder, whereas uninephrectomized rats had increased weight of the kidney and ureter. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the ureter wall from control rats increased from the proximal to the distal portion. The size of the whole ureter from diabetic rats was dramatically increased, the CSA of the wall of the distal ureter portion being four times that of the controls. The CSA of the ureter wall from sucrose-fed rats was increased only in the distal portion, whereas the ureter from uninephrectomized rats was increased only in the proximal portion. The results demonstrate the importance of differentiating between different portions of the rat ureter when examining histological sections of this organ. Moreover, polyuria per se is shown to induce growth of the bladder and of the adjacent distal part of the ureter, whereas uninephrectomy and diabetes caused growth of the kidney and the upper parts of the ureter, in addition to the growth induced by polyuria.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of secretin and somatostatin on secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF) from Brunner's glands was investigated in rats. Secretin increased volume secretion and the median output of EGF rose from 720 fmol/5 hr (total range 460–1320) in controls to 2065 fmol/5 hr (total range 1560–2730) at a dose of 50 pmol/kg/hr of secretin. Somatostatin inhibited Brunner's gland secretion, but the total output of EGF remained unchanged. Secretin-stimulated volume secretion and secretion of EGF was significantly reduced by simultaneous infusion of somatostatin. This study has shown that secretin stimulates secretion of EGF as well as volume secretion from Brunner's glands. Somatostatin prevents the effect of secretin on Brunner's glands, which suggests a role for somatostatin in control of Brunner's gland secretion.

    Notes: Abstract The mechanism and time for healing of cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcers in rats were investigated. Cysteamine induces a mixture of erosions, ulcers, and penetrating ulcers. These three stages of ulcerations healed in different ways and in different times. Erosions healed within three days by formation of new mucosa from the epithelium of the remaining parts of the crypts of Lieberkühn. The mucosa became completely normal within 15 days. Ulcers healed primarily by a contraction of the circular layer of the external muscle coat, thereby approaching the ulcer edges and reestablishing a complete layer of Brunner's glands in the submucosa. Healing was complete within 15 days. Penetrated ulcers healed very slowly by formation of new epithelium and Brunner's glands from the ulcer edges. The newly formed epithelium was desquamated unless protected by underlying Brunner's glands and the regeneration of these therefore determined the healing of the ulcer. Only a few of these ulcers had healed after 50 days. After 100 and 150 days, approximately 50% had healed, and after 200 days still only 64% had healed. Thus the cysteamine ulcer with destroyed muscle coat has a very prolonged healing and thereby represents a model for a chronic duodenal ulcer which may be of value as a model for testing treatments of duodenal ulcers.
