    Notes: Abstract  The formation of an alternate lamellar pattern in the advanced stage of cellular cementogenesis in human molars was examined by light and electron microscopy. In longitudinal ultrathin sections, longitudinally oriented intrinsic fibril bundles appeared in close and parallel association with slender processes of cementoblasts on the cementum. Where transversely oriented intrinsic fibril bundles appeared, cementoblasts formed indentations to enclose the fibril bundles. Cytoplasmic fragments were also enclosed in the indentations. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that cementoblasts have developed two types of processes on their cementum-facing side – ridge- and finger-like. The cementoblasts formed groove-like compartments by ridge-like processes in cooperation with other cementoblasts. The compartments formed groups, and in each group the compartments were arranged in the same direction. The finger-like processes were arranged in parallel with the ridge-like processes in the compartments. These observations suggest that: (1) slender processes and cytoplasmic fragments are longitudinally and transversely cut finger-like processes, respectively; (2) the cellular indentations are transversely cut groove-like compartments; (3) the cementoblasts regulate the intrinsic fiber arrangement by the two types of processes; (4) the cementoblasts move the two types of processes synchronously and periodically to cause an alternate change in the intrinsic fiber arrangement. This dynamic sequence results in the alternate lamellar pattern of cellular cementum.

    Notes: Abstract  It is generally accepted that osteocytes derive from osteoblasts that have secreted the bone around themselves. Osteocytes are cells embedded in the lacunae in the bone, and they are characteristically in contact with other cells by many slender cytoplasmic processes in canaliculi. During bone remodeling, many osteocytes in the bone are released from their lacunae by osteoclasts; however it remains unclear what happens to these released osteocytes. The cortical bone of the rat mandibular body was used in this study. Mandibles were fixed, decalcified, and then embedded in Epon 812. Specimens were sectioned in the frontal direction into serial 0.5 µm-thick semithin or 0.1 µm-thick ultrathin sections, and then examined by light or transmission electron microscopy. Cells that fitted in the osteocytic lacunae with canaliculi extending to the bone were identified as osteocytes in this study. Among many osteocytes released by osteoclasts in cutting cones, there were osteocytes half-released from their lacunae. These cells fitted in their lacunae with canaliculi extending to the bone and showed developed cell organelles in the cytoplasm. In closing cones, many osteocytes were situated in the bone away from cement lines; however, there were half-embedded osteocytes in the bone formed on cement lines. These cells fitted in their lacunae with canaliculi extending to the bone formed below cement lines and showed developed cell organelles in the cytoplasm. These results show that half-embedded osteocytes in closing cones derive from half-released osteocytes in cutting cones. Osteocytes encircled by osteo- clasts were sometimes observed on one section, but se-rial sections showed that these osteocytes fitted in their remaining lacunae in the bone on other sections. This shows that not all osteocytes released from their lacunae are engulfed by osteoclasts. Consequently, the present results suggests that some osteocytes released from their lacunae are embedded again in the bone and not engulfed by osteoclasts during bone remodeling.

    Notes: Abstract The initial genesis of acellular and cellular cementum was examined in rat molars by light and electron microscopy. Before root dentinogenesis, flattened dental follicle cells formed compartments by regularly arranged cellular processes which demarcated collagen fibril bundles oriented in parallel with the root long axis in both of the two kinds of cementum. After this stage, compartments disappeared from the dental follicle cells, which became elongated and polarized, with the cytoplasmic side facing toward the root surface in the acellular cementogenesis. Fibril bundles, oriented in parallel with the root long axis, decreased in number, and principal fibers appeared. Some principal fibers were attached on the first acellular cementum. Observations suggested that the fibril bundles, which had been oriented in parallel with the root long axis, were reoriented to merge into the principal fibers. In cellular cementogenesis, the dental follicle cells continued to hold the fibril bundles in cellular compartments. The regular processes were transformed into randomly oriented, finger-like processes. At the same time, fibers, which may be secreted from the finger-like processes, appeared around the preformed fibril bundles oriented in parallel with the root long axis. The different cellular behavior may result in the different fiber arrangement of acellular and cellular cementum.

    Notes: Abstract The formation of intrinsic fibers was examined in the advanced stage of rat cellular cementogenesis by light and electron microscopy. Using scanning electron microscopy, cementoblasts showed wing-like processes, partly encircling principal fibers. At the cementum-facing side of the cells these processes showed segmentation into finger-like processes, arranged in parallel with the cementum surface. Transmission electron microscopy showed many cytoplasmic fragments around intrinsic fibers at the cementum surface. These fragments contained microtubules and collagenous secretory granules that were arranged in parallel with the cementum surface and the intrinsic fibers. The wing-like processes contained microtubules and secretory granules that were arranged perpendicularly to the cementum surface and in parallel with the principal fibers. These observations suggest that: (1) the cytoplasmic fragments are cross-sectioned finger-like processes; (2) cementoblasts secrete intrinsic fibers from the finger-like processes and additional principal fibers from the wing-like processes; (3) cementoblasts constantly shorten their wing-like processes by forming finger-like processes. This development starts at the side facing the cementum and proceeds towards the periodontal ligament. With the segmentation, the cementoblasts change the arrangement of secretory granules to secrete intrinsic fibers around preformed principal fibers.

    Notes: Abstract The development of synovial membranes in the posterior synovial portion of the rat temporomandibular joint was studied and the three-dimensional structure of the posterior synovial portion reconstructed from sagittal semithin sections. Reconstructions showed that the synovial membrane expanded and that synovial folds increased in number and became complicated in shape with the growth of the joint. Using transmission-electron microscopy, it was observed that the synovial lining cells degenerated, that the synovial membrane split to make further synovial folds, and that the folded-end structures consisted of synovial lining cells that extended into the subsynovial connective tissue. It is suggested that in the development of the three-dimensional configuration of the synovial membrane, several processes proceed simultaneously to form the synovial folds: a splitting of the synovial membrane, infolding of the synovial membrane into the subsynovial connective tissue, and outgrowth of the synovial folds towards the synovial cavity.

    Notes: The bundling of principal fibers was investigated in tangential sections through the tooth-related portion in developing rat molars by light and electron microscopy. When root dentin calcification began, cross sections of principal fibers emerged as fibril aggregates in the narrow intercellular spaces in a densely packed population of periodontal ligament cells. Subsequently, these cells changed shape and location to widen the intercellular spaces. The fibril aggregates became thicker in these spaces. With root development, the collagen fibrils formed loosely aggregated bundles and the periodontal ligament cells extended cell processes between the bundles. The cell processes usually contained microfilaments suggestive of actin filaments, and as the cell processes extended and came in close apposition, they formed delimited compartments. These compartments appeared to be a sheath-like structure, and the loose fibril bundles developed into tight fibril bundles in the compartments. Finally the principal fibers consisted of many tight fibril bundles, which were partially or entirely surrounded by cell processes and cell bodies. The findings suggest that the sheath-like, cellular compartments cause the tight bundling of the principal fibers.

    Notes: The principal fibers and cellular cementum were examined in various developmental stages in rat molars by light and electron microscopy, and their development and structure were studied. The principal fibers increased in thickness with root development. At any given stage, the principal fibers consisted of small fiber bundles on the cementum surface and showed a branching structure. Sharpey's fibers also showed a similar branching structure and increased in thickness, as traced superficially in the cementum. It was suggested that the principal fibers increased in thickness by means of the aggregation of fiber bundles. The development of cellular cementum was divided into two (early and late) phases on the basis of the fiber arrangement. The early cementum was believed to contain a few Sharpey's fibers and many randomly arranged intrinsic fibers. The late cementum contained thicker Sharpey's fibers with branches and the intrinsic fibers which appeared to encircle Sharpey's fibers and/or meander among them.

    Notes: The initial attachment of principal fibers to the root dentin surface was investigated in developing rat molars by light and electron microscopy. Ruthenium red was used to intensely stain the first deposited material on the root dentin surface. Observations suggested that when the principal fibers became embedded in the ruthenium red-positive material, there was no complicated interweaving between the principal fibers and the root dentinal matrix fibers. Therefore, it is likely that the initial principal fiber attachment to the root dentinal matrix fibers is mediated by the ruthenium red-positive material.

    Histochemical, ultrastructural, and electron microprobe analytical studies on the localization of calcium in rat incisor ameloblasts at early stage amelogenesis (1990)

    Notes: The enamel organs of rat incisors were separated from the enamel surface and processed for rapid freezing and freeze-substitution. A histochemical stain for calcium (GBHA) of thick Epon sections revealed intense calcium reactions in the secretory ameloblasts, exclusively in the tubulovesicular structures extending throughout their distal cytoplasm. Electron microscopy revealed a thin layer of amorphous material with clusters of electron-dense granules along the distal surface of secretory ameloblasts. In young secretory ameloblasts without typical Tomes' processes, a considerable number of mitochondria were located in the distal cytoplasm and contained numerous electron-dense granules. Similar dense granules as well as fine ribbon-like electron-dense figures, all containing significant amounts of calcium, were observed in some of the tubulovesicular structures at the distal end of these cells. A putative exocytotic figure of such dense granules was also observed. The electron-dense granules were rare in more differentiated ameloblasts with elongated Tomes' processes, which occasionally displayed ribbon-like figures in some of the tubulovesicular structures in the process region. No significant calcium peak was detected in the extracellular amorphous material, secretory granules, or along the lateral plasma membranes. These observations may imply high calcium concentrations in mitochondria and tubulovesicular structures in the distal cytoplasm of secretory ameloblasts relative to that of the cytosol and support the possible contribution of these organelles in secretory ameloblasts to cellular calcium regulation at least in the early stage of amelogenesis.

    Notes: Background: Osteoclasts and odontoclasts are multinucleated giant cells which resorb hard tissue by the ruffled borders. Recently, the authors reported the presence of a mononuclear osteoclast with a ruffled border in vitro. However, its presence in vivo has not been shown. To demonstrate the presence of a mononuclear odontoclast in humans, the present study used human deciduous teeth.Methods: After fixation and declacification, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACPase) activity was detected with the azo dye method, and then TRACPase-positive cells were observed on resorbing areas of teeth. TRACPase-positive cells could be distinguished from other cells by light microscopy, and the cells for investigation were serially sectioned by alternating semithin and ultrathin sections to observe their ultrastructure and three-dimensional organization.Results: TRACPase activity was detected in both multinucleated odontoclasts and a mononuclear cell from serial sections. By electron microscopy, most of the multinucleated odontoclasts had ruffled borders and clear zones. A mononuclear TRACPase-positive cell with a ruffled border and clear zone was reconstructed three-dimensionally by NIKON COSMOZONE 2SA. The reconstruction showed that this cell had one irregularly shaped nucleus and a wide ring-shaped clear zone and a small ruffled border. Under the ruffled border, this cell formed a small lacuna on the dentin surface. The results suggested that this cell was a mononuclear odontoclast.Conclusions: The present study concludes that cells with ruffled borders and clear zones observed by transmission electron microscopy can be identified as odontoclasts or osteoclasts irrespective of the number of nuclei. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
