    Notes: Abstract To investigate the relationship between cerebral amyloid angiopathy and subcortical (lobar) hemorrhage, we examined the severity of amyloid deposition in the leptomeningeal, cortical and subcortical arteries in 28 autopsied elderly patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy with subcortical hemorrhage, deep cerebral hemorrhage or without hemorrhage. The severity was evaluated in terms of the frequency of amyloid-laden arteries and the degree of amyloid deposition within the arteries. The frequency of amyloid-laden arteries, especially among arteries over 200 μm in diameter, was higher in subcortical hemorrhage group than in the deep hemorrhage group and the non-hemorrhage group, and when the degree of amyloid deposition in the arteries was divided into four grades (none, mild, moderate or severe), the severity was higher in the subcortical hemorrhage group than in the deep cerebral hemorrhage group and the non-hemorrhage group. These results suggest that severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy is related to non-traumatic subcortical hemorrhage in elderly persons.

    Erythrophagocytosis by the sinus endothelial cell of the spleen in haemolytic anaemias (1979)

    Notes: Summary An ultrastructural study of spleens from patients with a heterogeneous group of haemolytic anaemias was undertaken in order to determine whether sinus endothelial cells have erythrophagocytic ability. In most cases, sinus endothelial cells contained erythrocytes and various stages of intracellular degradation of engulfed erythrocytes were noted. Though the frequency of erythrophagocytosis varied from case to case, phagocytosis of erythrocytes by the endothelial cell was more frequent in cases in which cordal macrophages showed active erythrophagocytosis. These results suggest that the sinus endothelial cells have erythrophagocytic ability in certain pathological states, especially when the demands for the removal of defective erythrocytes are increased. However, the bulk of erythrophagocytosis is carried out by cordal macrophages, and endothelial phagocytosis has a minor significance in the development of haemolytic anaemia. Two possible processes by which erythrocytes come into contact with sinus endothelial cells are suggested.

    Ultrastructural evidence for intracellular formation of amyloid fibrils in macrophages (1989)

    Notes: Summary Early amyloid deposition in the spleen was studied by immunoelectron microscopy following the administration of rapid amyloid-inducing agents to mice. Two days after the injection of an amyloidenhancing factor and casein solution, a small amount of amyloid material was observed at the border of the white pulp and the marginal zone (perifollicular area) and also within the white pulp. At this stage, amyloid fibrils were seen mainly in an extracellular distribution along the cytoplasmic processes of reticular cells and also in the cytoplasmic invaginations of macrophages. By immunoelectron microscopy, gold particles labelled fibrillar structures in lysosome-derived organelles in some macrophages as well as dense bodies consisted of a homogeneous, granular matrix not having any recognizable fibrillar structures. Similar immunolabelled organelles were also observed in the amyloid resorption stage, although, at that stage, they commonly contained other phagocytized materials as well. From these findings, we suggest that at least some amyloid fibrils are polymerized in the cytoplasm of the macrophages by the proteolytic cleavage of previously pinocytized serum amyloid A protein (SAA).

    Amyloid enhancing factor (AEF) in the aging mouse (1989)

    Notes: Summary Amyloid enhancing factor (AEF) activity was tested in spleen homogenates from 52, 28, and 9-week-old untreated mice. Strong AEF activity was present in the supernatant of spleen homogenate from the 52-week-old mice. Only weak activity was observed in the supernatant from the 28-week-old mice, and none was seen in that from the 9-week-old mice. Crude spleen homogenates from the 52-week-old mice were subjected to Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration. AEF activity existed in the first gel filtration peak. These findings suggest that AEF increases in the spleens of aged mice and that AEF may be a substance of high molecular weight.

    Localized amyloidosis of the uterine cervix (1988)

    Notes: Summary Localized amyloidosis of the uterine cervix was found in a 56-year-old woman. The firm enlarged cervix showed massive tumorous amyloid deposition. In the amyloid deposits there were foci of ossification and calcification. An infiltrate of multinucleated giant cells, histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells was seen adjacent to the amyloid deposits. Immunohistochemically, the amyloid reacted with antisera against A-lambda, amyloid protein of immunoglobulin lambda light chain origin. This indicated that the amyloid protein was of immunoglobulin origin in this rare case of localized amyloidosis of the uterine cervix.

    Effects of dimethyl sulfoxide and colchicine on the resorption of experimental amyloid (1979)

    Notes: Summary The induction of amyloid in C3H mice by either casein solution or complete Freund's adjuvant emulsion with Mycobacterium butyricum was confirmed by partial splenectomy. The animals were autopsied after treatment w ith dimethyl sulfoxide (550 mg/kg, 50 times), colchicine (0.02 mg/kg, 15–37 times), or saline solution as a control. Detailed histological comparisons of biopsy and autopsy spleens provided evidence that dimethyl sulfoxide was significantly effective in the resorption of amyloid, while in the animals treated with colchicine amyloid deposition was increased. The effect of dimethyl sulfoxide was discussed with reference to the modification of amyloid fibrils.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscopic observations on the process of red cell destruction in the spleen and liver of a patient with congenital Heinz body hemolytic anemia, associated with a new variant of unstable hemoglobin, are reported. Two major mechanisms of destruction of Heinz body-containing red cells were noted. One was phagocytosis of these cells in toto by cordal macrophages. The other mechanism, though less significant quantitatively, was intravascular hemolysis of injured red cells in the splenic microvasculature. In the liver, phagocytosis of damaged red cells by Kupffer cells was rare and there was no evidence of intravascular hemolysis in this organ. These morphological findings, together with almost complete recovery from hemolysis following splenectomy, indicated that Heinz body-containing red cells were removed from the circulation predominantly by the spleen. In contrast to experimental Heinz body anemia in animals, Heinz bodies were present even in the nucleated red cells.

    Notes: Abstract An ultrastructural study of amyloid deposits in four cases of squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix was performed. The amyloid deposits reacted with anti-keratin antiserum on frozen sections. Amyloid deposits showed nodular (4 cases) and star-like forms (3 cases). Nodular amyloid deposits were composed of slightly whorled fibrils, measuring 7–10 nm in width. Some of them contained cellular debris and thicker, more electron-dense filaments than amyloid fibrils. In three cases, filamentous tumour cells and filamentous masses were observed together with amyloid. Star-like amyloid deposits were composed of bundles of straight amyloid fibrils. Some of the tumour cells in contact with star-like amyloid deposits had deep cytoplasmic invaginations, where closely packed amyloid fibrils were arrayed in parallel fasion. In addition, a few tumour cells had membrane-bound amyloid fibrils in the cytoplasm. It is suggested that nodular amyloid deposits are derived from the tumour cells through filamentous degeneration. Amyloid fibrils in star-like amyloid deposits are thought to be formed within the cytoplasm or in the vicinity of invaginated cytoplasmic membranes of the tumour cells.
