    Notizen: Abstract  There have been many reports on the formation of apoptotic bodies, but little is known about the cellular pathological processes and the morphological changes involved. We induced apoptotic cell death by administering nivalenol (NIV), a trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, and investigated the ultrastructural process of formation of apoptotic bodies. The thymus was examined by electron microscopy 6, 12, and 18 h after administration. Apoptotic cell death was induced in the thymus of NIV-treated mice. The nuclei became invaginated and pinched off to give fragments, and crescent-shaped spaces (CSS) were found around the nuclear envelopes of these cells at quite an early stage. In some of these spaces, myelin figures were observed. We divided the process of formation into four stages and characterized each of them. These are easily recognized in morphological stages and are also useful for clarifying the apoptotic mechanism.

    Notizen: Abstract Eight Brittany Spaniel dogs, seven females and one male, between 7 and 14 years old presented with clinical neurological signs of spinocerebellar disease of about 6 months to 4 years duration. Clinically the dogs had a dramatic forward “saluting” movement of the thoracic limbs, hypermetria of the pelvic limbs, cerebellar ataxia and intention tremors. Terminally, dogs crawled in a crouched thoracic posture with neck extension. Lesions were confined to cerebellum, medulla oblongata and spinal cord. The most severe lesion was diffuse Purkinje cell loss with massive neurofilament accumulation in degenerating cells. There was some bilateral neuronal degeneration in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord and in the gracilis and cuneate nuclei. There was bilateral sporadic axonal degeneration in the dorsal columns and lateral and ventromedial areas of the spinal cord. The etiology of this syndrome was not determined.

    Characterizations of heterotopic neurons in the spinal cord of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients (1998)

    Notizen: Abstract This report concerns a comparative immunocytochemical, ultrastructural and morphometric investigation on heterotopic neurons in the white matter of the spinal cords of 19 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 18 age-matched neurologically normal individuals. The study revealed that the heterotopic neurons were scattered in the white matter, often adjacent to gray matter, that they immunoreacted with the antibody to synaptophysin, and that there were synaptic apparatuses on the surface of their somata and their neuronal processes. Bunina bodies and ubiquitin-positive inclusions such as Lewy body-like inclusions and skein-like inclusions, characteristic of anterior horn neurons of ALS, were present in the cytoplasm of the patients’ heterotopic neurons in the anterior or lateral column of the white matter. These findings suggest that heterotopic neurons in the anterior or lateral column have the characteristics of alpha motor neurons. The average number of heterotopic neurons observed in ALS patients was generally less than in normal subjects. This reduction was correlated with the severity of neuronal loss. The heterotopic neurons in ALS were less susceptible to the degenerative process as compared with spinal cord anterior horn cells. We assume that in this disease the heterotopic neurons may be degenerated and their number diminished after or concomitantly with the depletion of anterior horn neurons.

    Notizen: Abstract We examined the brains and spinal cords of seven patients with clinicopathologically and genetically confirmed hereditary dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) using an antibody against ubiquitin, and found small, round immunoreactive intranuclear inclusions in both neurons and glial cells in various brain regions. Ubiquitinated neuronal intranuclear inclusions (uNIIs) were consistently found in the striatum, the pontine nuclei, the inferior olivary complex, the cerebellar cortex and the dentate nucleus. Ubiquitinated glial intranuclear inclusions (uGIIs) were found less frequently than uNIIs. Most of the inclusion-bearing nuclei were of an astrocytic nature. Immunostaining with an antibody against DRPLA protein revealed similar immunoreactive neuronal and glial intranuclear inclusions, but in much smaller in numbers compared with uNIIs and uGIIs. Electron microscopy showed that such inclusions were composed of granular and filamentous structures. These findings strongly suggest that, in DRPLA, the occurrence of uNIIs and uGIIs is directly related to the causative gene abnormality (an expanded CAG repeat encoding polyglutamine), that neurons are affected much more widely than previously recognized and that glial cells are also involved in the disease process.

    Notizen: Abstract A 44-year-old man presenting with dyspnoic attacks was found to be affected with congenital myopathy, rigid spine, restrictive respiratory insufficiency and cardiomyopathy. Muscle biopsy showed type 1 fiber predominance (65.7%) and hypotrophy, and characteristic changes in 43.9% of the type 1 fibers, consisting in alternating pale and dark staining on alkaline ATPase reacted sections in a mosaic pattern. Ultrastructural examination demonstrated bands of myofibrils at right angles or skew to the remaining myofibrils transversing the fibers. Myofibrillar disarray was always associated with loss of the Z-discs and actin filaments, and often with aggregation of mitochondria. The muscle biopsy findings in this patient suggest a new entity of congenital myopathy with clinical features of rigid spine, cardiomyopathy and restrictive respiratory insufficiency, characterized by peculiar abnormalities of ATPase staining in a mosaic pattern and, ultrastructurally, by zones of disorientation of the sarcomeres.

    Notizen: Abstract  In the biosynthesis of steroid hormones 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is a key enzyme. The present report describes the subcellular localization of the enzyme in the fetal-type Leydig cells, the fibroblast-like precursors of adult-type Leydig cells and in endothelial cells of interstitial capillaries. Histochemical methods for light microscopy and ultracytochemical methods for electron microscopy were used on rat testes of postnatal day 15. 3β-HSD reactivity was located at subcellular levels by means of the ferricyanide method. A specific, distinct localization of reaction product in the form of copper ferrocyanide precipitates was observed on the membranes of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum not only in the fetal-type Leydig cells and the fibroblast-like precursors of adult-type Leydig cells, but also focally in the endothelial cells of interstitial blood capillaries. Topographically, the 3β-HSD-positive precursors were most often found in the outer layer of the boundary tissue and surrounding interstitial blood vessels. The capillaries with 3β-HSD-positive endothelial cells were usually located in the vicinity of 3β-HSD-positive Leydig cells. For the first time, 3β-HSD has been located at the subcellular level in precursors of adult-type Leydig cells and focally in capillary endothelial cells associated with them. Due to the close association between 3β-HSD-positive vascular endothelial cells and Leydig cells a paracrine relationship between the two cell types may be involved in the acute regulation of steroidogenesis by blood-borne luteinizing hormone.

    Structural and functional changes in skeletal muscle in anorexia nervosa (1998)

    Notizen: Abstract Protein-energy malnutrition in anorexia nervosa is an under-recognised cause of muscle dysfunction. To characterise the skeletal myopathy that occurs in patients with severe anorexia nervosa, muscle function and structure were comprehensively examined in eight young adult female patients with severe (40%) self-induced weight loss. All of the patients showed impaired muscle function on strength and exercise measurement. The maximum voluntary contraction force for the patient group was significantly less than predicted values. Electromyography revealed myopathy in five of the patients, four of whom also had electro-physiological evidence of neuropathy. However, muscle biopsy specimens consistently showed myopathic changes with severe type 2 fibre atrophy but with no evidence of neuropathic changes. Ultrastructurally, there was separation and segmental loss of myofibrils and most biopsy samples contained abundant glycogen granules; we have previously reported that one of the most consistent biochemical abnormalities in these patients is impaired ischaemic lactate responses to forearm exercise. The result of severe protein-energy malnutrition on the musculo-skeletal system is a metabolic myopathy. Although the patients admitted to a variety of abnormal dieting behaviours, such as over-exercising and self-induced vomiting, no association was found between any of these and quantitative histological changes in the muscle biopsy samples. It is recommended that myopathy in anorexia nervosa be treated by instituting an appropriate refeeding programme.

    Notizen: Abstract  Interstitial cells forming many large gap junctions in the region of the deep muscular plexus of the rat small intestine were studied by electron microscopy and by three-dimensional cell models reconstructed from serial ultrathin sections. Two different profiles of cells were observed. Cells of the first profile are characterized by an elongated cell shape and by less electron-dense cytoplasm, containing many mitochondria, well-developed Golgi apparatus and free ribosomes. They mainly connect with smooth muscle cells of the main circular layer. In a three-dimensional cell model, the total area of the gap junctions occupies 1.3% of the cell surface. Cells of the second profile are characterized by the frequent occurrence of slender cytoplasmic processes, higher electron-dense cytoplasm, containing mitochondria, Golgie apparatus and well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, and numerous caveolae on the cell membrane. In this cell model, gap junctions occupy 0.8% of the cell surface. The ratio of gap junctions with the same profile of cells to the total gap junction area is 37.7%, which is more than three times greater than the 9.9% in cells of the first profile. These cells were closely associated with nerve terminals. It is likely that these cells with different profiles constitute subtypes with each other and cooperate for regulation of intestinal motility via the transmission of nerve signals.

    Notizen: Abstract Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a congenital myopathy which manifests itself as a severe neonatal (also termed myotubular myopathy), early-onset, or adult form. The histological pattern of each is marked by a considerable number of nuclei of muscle fibers being internally placed. Owing to their remote resemblance to myotubes, and their expression of developmentally regulated proteins, most authors now favor the concept that myogenesis is arrested or delayed in this disease. We here present two muscle biopsy specimens of a patient with early-onset CNM, taken at the age of 5 months and 14 years, respectively. The first biopsy sample contained internally placed nuclei in 7% of the muscle fibers, abundant minute myotubes, and hypertrophic muscle fibers. The second biopsy sample showed internally placed nuclei in 40% of the muscle fibers, and hypotrophic fibers. We suggest that the histological findings in early-onset CNM are the result of a complex dynamic process, which includes a delay in maturation.

    Notizen: Abstract The ultrastructural features of microvessels showing increased permeability to intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were examined in the olfactory bulbs of senescence-accelerated prone mice (SAMP8), which showed age-related deficits in learning and memory, and senescence-accelerated resistant mice (SAMR1), which did not show the age-related deficits. HRP was visualized with tetramethyl benzidine (TMB) and diaminobenzidine (DAB) for light and electron microscopic examination, respectively. In the olfactory bulbs of 13-month-old SAMP8 mice, the staining reaction with TMB for HRP appeared in the neuropil of central area (granule cell layer and subependymal layer), in the pia mater and in the vascular wall. Some vessels located in the central area showed several changes observed at the ultrastructural level. The cytoplasm of the endothelial cells, especially in the arterioles, was segmentally thickened and contained numerous vesicles and vacuoles, some of which were HRP positive. The endothelial cell surface was occasionally undulated with microvillous protrusions. Membranous inclusions within the basal lamina, suggesting the cellular (presumably pericytal) degeneration, were frequently observed, especially in venules. The collagen deposits were occasionally observed in the subendothelial space of some vessels. Perivascular cells with vacuolated inclusions or lipid-like droplets were present around some vessels in the central area of the olfactory bulbs of aged SAMP8 mice. On the other hand, in the microvessels located in the areas negative for HRP-TMB reaction, except the vessel walls, the cytoplasm of the endothelial cells with smooth luminal surface was flattened and some vesicles located there contained HRP-DAB reaction product. Weak staining reaction with TMB for HRP appeared also in the central area of the olfactory bulbs of 3-month-old SAMP8 mice and 3- and 13-month-old SAMR1 mice. The cytoplasm of the endothelial cells in the olfactory bulbs of these mice was focally thickened and contained some cytoplasmic vesicles. Occasionally, the endothelial cell surface was moderately undulated with few microvillous protrusions. Membranous inclusions within the basal lamina were not observed in these animals. These findings indicate that the endothelial cells and pericytes in some vessels located in the central area of the olfactory bulb of aged SAMP8 mice, which show staining reaction with TMB for HRP, are ultrastructurally changed, suggesting their altered functions.

    Barrier recovery is impeded at neutral pH, independent of ionic effects: implications for extracellular lipid processing (1998)

    Notizen: Abstract Epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis requires the postsecretory processing of polar lipid precursors into nonpolar lipid products within the stratum corneum (SC) interstices by a family of lipid hydrolases. A specific requirement for β-glucocerebrosidase (β-GlcCer’ase), which exhibits a distinct acidic pH optimum, is particularly well documented. Therefore, we sought to determine whether the recovery of the barrier after acute insults requires acidification of the SC. We examined permeability barrier recovery by assessing changes in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), SC membrane ultrastructure utilizing ruthenium tetroxide (RuO 4 ) postfixation, and β-GlcCer’ase activity by in situ zymography at an acidic vs neutral pH. Barrier recovery proceeded normally when acetone-treated skin was exposed to solutions buffered to an acidic pH. In contrast, the initiation of barrier recovery was slowed when treated skin was exposed to neutral or alkaline pH, regardless of buffer composition. In addition, enhancement of the alkaline buffer-induced delay in barrier recovery occurred with Ca 2+ and K + inclusion in the buffer. Moreover, the pH-dependent alteration in barrier recovery appeared to occur through a mechanism that was independent of Ca 2+ - or K + -controlled lamellar body secretion, since both the formation and secretion of lamellar bodies proceeded comparably at pH 5.5 and pH 7.4. In contrast, exposure to pH 7.4 (but not pH 5.5) resulted in both the persistence of immature, extracellular lamellar membrane structures, and a marked decrease in the in situ activity of β-GlcCer’ase. These results suggest first that an acidic extracellular pH is necessary for the initiation of barrier recovery, and second that the delay in barrier recovery is a consequence of inhibition of postsecretory lipid processing.

    Notizen: Abstract  The purpose of this work was to study the changes undergone by starch during heat-induced surimi gel preparation either with or without added egg white, and their effects on the structure of gels using light and scanning electron microscopy. Gels were made from SA-grade Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma) surimi with: (1) salt (3%, w/w); (2) salt and waxy corn starch (3% and 5%, respectively w/w); or (3) salt, waxy corn starch and egg white (3%, 5% and 5%, respectively, w/w). Final moisture was adjusted to 73% or 83%. The gels were prepared by prior setting (40°C, 30 min, followed by 90°C, 30 min) or cooking (90°C, 30 min). The prepared gel was frozen and stored at –20°C (±1°C) until analysis. Samples were observed by light and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the starch granules alter according to the processing conditions, with the predominance of crystalline or amorphous morphology depending upon the availability of heat and water. Large cavities formed in the protein gel matrix during setting can trap water; as a result, water availability is limited for starch to swell and gelatinize even in the high-moisture gel.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary Squamous metaplasia can be demonstrated in about 4% of all invasive carcinomas of the breast. Primary squamous cell carcinomas of the breast are rare, since they occur in less than 1% of all primary invasive breast carcinomas. In order to classify a breast tumor as a primary squamous cell carcinoma one must exclude an epidermal origin, especially from the nipple region and the possibility of metastatic infiltration of the breast by a squamous cell carcnoma from a different location. Causative and formal pathogenesis of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is not clear. A pluripotent embryonal stem cell origin is discussed, considering the phylogenetic descent of the mammary gland from skin appendages. Squamous metaplasia is also suggested to be a precursor of squamous cell carcinoma. Here endocrine stimulation and chronic inflammation may both play an inductive role. The number of published cases of squamous cell carcinomas developing years and decades after implantation of silicon prostheses has increased in recent years. These tumors probably develop on top of squamous metaplasia induced by the inflammatory pseudocapsule. Estimating the prognosis and therapeutic management in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the breast should follow the same guidelines as for other squamous cell cancers.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung Plattenepithelmetaplasien werden bei etwa 4% aller invasiven Brustdrüsenkarzinome beschrieben. Reine Plattenepithelkarzinome der weiblichen Brustdrüse sind mit einem Anteil von wahrscheinlich unter 1% an allen invasiven epithelialen Tumoren der Mamma selten. Von einem primären Plattenepithelkarzinom der Brustdrüse darf nur gesprochen werden, wenn zum einen der Ursprung von der Epidermis, insbesondere auch im Bereich des Mamillentrichters ausgeschlossen ist und zum anderen keine metastatische Infiltration in die Brustdrüse durch ein Plattenepithelkarzinom anderer Organlokalisation vorliegt. Die kausale und formale Pathogenese der primären Plattenepithelkarzinome der Brustdrüse ist unklar. Zum einen wird ein Ursprung von pluripotenten embryonalen Stammzellen diskutiert, wobei bedacht wird, daß die Brustdrüse entwicklungsgeschichtlich ein Hautanhangsgebilde darstellt. Zum anderen werden Plattenepithelmetaplasien als Vorstufe der Plattenepithelkarzinome diskutiert, wobei neben einer endokrinen Induktion auch länger bestehende Entzündungsreize eine Rolle spielen sollen. In den letzten Jahren wird immer häufiger darüber berichtet, daß oft Jahrzehnte nach Implantation von Silikonprothesen periprothetische Plattenepithelkarzinome entstehen, die wahrscheinlich über die Stufe einer Plattenepithelmetaplasie der entzündlichen Prothesenpseudokapsel entstehen. Die Abschätzung der Prognose und therapeutische Maßnahmen bei primären Plattenepithelkarzinomen der Brustdrüse sollten an den Erfahrungen mit Plattenepithelkarzinomen anderer Organlokalisation ausgerichtet werden.

    Notizen: Abstract  The ultrastructure of egg cells in Abies alba was examined to elucidate the lack of maternal inheritance of plastids. Before fertilization, maternal plastids are absent in the perinuclar zone containing mainly mitochondria and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. During egg cell development the maternal plastids are transformed into large inclusions which are situated mostly towards the periphery of the egg cell, and finally disintegrate. As a consequence, they do not participate in zygote formation. RFLP analysis of cpDNA of parental trees and their F1 interspecific hybrids (A. alba×A. numidica, A. alba×A. nordmanniana, A. nordmanniana×A. Alba) using HindIII and BamHI showed a paternal mode of cpDNA inheritance. Paternal inheritance has also been found with PCR/RFLP analysis of cpDNA from parental trees and their hybrids (A. alba×A. pinsapo, A. pinsapo×A. alba, A. pinsapo×A. numidica) using ApaI and HaeIII digests, as well as in the crosses of A. cephalonica×A. nordmanniana, A. nordmanniana×A. cephalonica, A. cephalonica×A. numidica using TagI digests.

    Notizen: Abstract  The ultrastructure of the egg apparatus of the sexual (aestivum)-Salmon line (aS) and the isogenic but alloplasmic (kotschyi)-Salmon line (kS) of the Salmon system of wheat was studied by transmission electron microscopy 3 days before and during anthesis. Additionally, the zygotic stage of aS, 17 h after pollination, was included. Metabolic activity of egg cells from the sexual line aS was low 3 days before anthesis and increased dramatically after pollination and fertilization. This timing of increased activity was evident because of changes occurring in the egg cell nucleus and nucleolus, polysomes, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and the completion of the cell wall around the zygote. In contrast to the sexual line, the egg cell of the parthenogenetic line showed high activity 3 days before anthesis. The metabolic and ultrastructural characters observed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the kS line 3 days before and during anthesis corresponded with those of the isogenic sexual line aS during anthesis and 17 h after pollination, respectively. High metabolic activity observed in the persistent synergid of kS may be connected with the occurrence of additional embryos in seeds (twins) of this line.

    Notizen: Abstract Natural enrichments of magnetic bacteria from the Itaipu lagoon near Rio de Janeiro were dominated by coccoid-to-ovoid morphotypes that produced unusually large magnetosomes. To determine the phylogenetic position of these unusual microorganisms, 16S rRNA genes were retrieved from bacteria magnetically separated from sediment of the Itaipu lagoon by in vitro amplification and cloning of PCR products into a plasmid vector. Partial sequencing of the obtained clones revealed two clusters of closely related sequences affiliated to a distinct lineage consisting exclusively of magnetic bacteria within the α-subclass of Proteobacteria. For a detailed phylogenetic analysis, several almost complete sequences of the 16S rRNA genes were determined. One representative clone of each cluster provided a PCR template for the in vitro transcription of group-specific polynucleotide probes complementary to a variable region of the 16S rRNA molecule. At least three different morphotypes of magnetic bacteria were reliably identified by post-embedding hybridization of ultra-thin sections. Electron microscopic analyses of hybridized cells enabled for the first time a detailed description of the morphological variety and ultrastructure of phylogenetically identified, uncultured magnetic bacteria. Two distinct coccoid bacteria were identified by the transcript probe complementary to the 16S rRNA sequence mabrj12, whereas the probe complementary to the sequence mabrj58 allowed the identification of an ovoid morphotype that displayed magnetosomes with the largest volumes observed to date.

    Notizen: Abstract  Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are believed to be a major element in generating the spontaneous rhythm of the gastrointestinal tract. A prominent problem in the study of these cells has been the difficulty in observing them in intact tissues. We used the lipophilic dye DiI to stain ICCs in the submucosal-circular muscle border of freshly dissected mouse colon. The placement of small DiI crystals in this area resulted in the labeling of ICC-like cells. Two main morphological cell types, viz., bipolar and multipolar, were noted. Bipolar cells had two primary processes emerging from the poles of an elongated soma. The mean length of these processes was 78.7 μm. These cells constituted 42.3% of the sample (n=105). Multipolar cells (54.3% of total) had a less elongated soma and extended 3–6 main processes whose mean length was 56.3 μm. These processes showed no preferred direction. The length of the primary processes of bipolar cells was 40% greater than that of multipolar cells (P〈0.02). Three cells (2.9%) had only one primary process. The DiI stain could be converted into a stable electron-opaque product. Electron-microscopic observations showed that these cells had the typical appearance of ICCs reported in previous studies. This staining method should be useful for physiological investigations of ICCs in gastrointestinal tissues.

    Notizen: Abstract  The cutaneous glands of the forehead and the metatarsus were studied by histological and histochemical methods and electron microscopy in adult male and female impalas in various seasons of the year. All glandular areas consist of apocrine and holocrine glands, which, however, occur in different proportions. Our findings in the apocrine gland cells suggest (1) the synthesis and exocytosis of a glycoproteinaceous secretory product stored in secretory granules, (2) typical apocrine secretion of the transformed apical cytoplasm, and (3) transepithelial fluid transport. The Golgi apparatus and apical membrane have binding sites for several lectins (PNA, HPA, RCA I, WGA). Cytokeratins 7, 14 and 19 are expressed at various intracellular localizations, suggesting an active role in the secretory mechanisms. The glands of the male forehead show marked seasonal changes in activity that are correlated with the main phases of the reproductive cycle, with the highest cellular activity occurring during the rut in April/May. The female forehead glands are only moderately developed and do not undergo seasonal changes. The metatarsal glands are of equal size in males and females and show no seasonal changes in activity. This study supports the hypothesis that (1) forehead glands in the male have a signaling role in the rut and (2) the metatarsal glands have a more general, probably social role maintaining and restoring contact between herd members.

    Notizen: Abstract Immunohistochemical and electron-microscopic techniques were used to analyze the extensor digitorum longus muscles of New Zealand White rabbits 1 h, 1 day, 3, 7, and 28 days after repetitive eccentric contractions. Loss of the cytoskeletal protein desmin was the earliest manifestation of injury. Apart from 1 h post-exercise, all desmin-negative fibers stained positively with antibody to plasma fibronectin, indicating loss of cellular integrity accompanying cytoskeletal disruption. Fiber sizes were significantly increased from 1–7 days after exercise. The large (hyaline) fibers found in histological sections after repetitive eccentric contractions resulted from segmental hypercontraction of the fiber. This phenomenon occurred proximally and distally to plasma membrane lesions of the muscle fiber and necrosis and manifested itself as very short sarcomere lengths. Thus, in serial sections, staining characteristics, sizes and shapes of one and the same fiber often varied dramatically. We conclude that the following sequence of events occurs: cytoskeletal disruptions, loss of myofibrillar registry, i.e., Z-disk streaming and A-band disorganization, and loss of cell integrity as manifested by intracellular plasma fibronectin stain, hypercontracted regions, and invasion of cells. When a fiber is disrupted, the remaining intact fibers apparently take up the tension put on the muscle and later fewer fibers are subjected to eccentric contractions.

    Notizen: Abstract  The distribution of the P2X1 subtype of purinoceptors associated with the extracellular activities of ATP was studied in the rat cerebellum at the electron-microscope level. Receptors were labelled with peroxidase-antiperoxidase and the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex for immunocytochemistry. Immunoreactivity to P2X1 receptors was localized in subpopulations of synapses between varicosities of parallel fibres of granule cells and dendritic spines of Purkinje cells. Unlabelled varicosities of parallel fibres formed asymmetric synapses with labelled dendritic spines, whereas labelled varicosities of parallel fibres formed asymmetric synapses with unlabelled dendritic spines. P2X1 immunoreactivity was also localized in some astrocyte processes. The functional significance of these findings is discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract  This ultrastructural examination of sensory nerves of the Manduca wing has revealed that extensive remodeling occurs among insect sensory neurons and their associated glial cells between pupation and adult emergence. Systematic counts of axons in particular wing nerves throughout adult development have shown that a decrease in axon number per nerve occurs after day 6. The neurons and glial cells that die are believed to be cells present at pupation that have no apparent sensory function but that probably function as guidance scaffolding for neurons and glia that are born after pupation. Despite the loss of several axons from each wing nerve, these nerves continue to grow in diameter during the latter half of adult development as some of the surviving axons increase severalfold in diameter. Each growing wing nerve in turn apparently functions as a scaffold for the proximal to distal growth of adult tracheae. A correspondence exists between adult nerve pathways and adult tracheal pathways, with each trachea maintaining intimate contact with a wing nerve along its entire length.

    Notizen: Abstract  The ultrastructure of the endolymphatic sac (ES) of the late stage larva of the Japanese red-bellied newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster (stage 57), was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. The two endolymphatic sacs are located at the dorsal-medial side of the otic vesicle on the dorsal-lateral side of the midbrain in the cranial cavity. The wall of the sac is composed of a layer of cubical epithelial cells with loose, interposed intercellular spaces. The sac contains a large luminal cavity, in which endolymph and numerous otoconia are present. The epithelial cells of different portions of the sac have a similar structure. These cells contain an abundance of cytoplasmic organelles, including ribosomes, Golgi complexes, and numerous vesicles. Two types of vesicles are found in the epithelial cells: the “floccular” vesicle and the “granular” vesicle. The floccular vesicles are located in the supra- and lateral-nuclear cytoplasm and contain flocccular material. The granular vesicles have a fine granular substance and are usually situated apposed to the apical cell membrane. The granular vesicles are suggested to be secreted into the lumen, while the floccular vesicles are thought to be absorbed from the lumen and conveyed to the intercellular spaces by the epithelial cells. The apical surfaces of the epithelial cells bear numerous microvilli. Apparently floating cells, which bear long microvilli on the free surfaces, are observed in the lumen of the ES. Based on the fine structure, the function of the endolymphatic sac of the newt Cynops pyrrhogaster is discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract  The leech photoreceptor forms a unicellular epithelium: every cell surrounds an extracellular “vacuole” that is connected to the remaining extracellular space via narrow clefts containing pleated septate junctions. We analyzed the complete structural layout of all septa within the junctional complex in elastic brightfield stereo electron micrographs of semithin serial sections from photoreceptors infiltrated with colloidal lanthanum. The septa form tortuous interseptal corridors that are spatially continuous, and open ended basally and apically. Individual septa seem to be impermeable to lanthanum; interseptal corridors form the only diffusional pathway for this ion. The junctions form no diffusion barrier for the electron-dense tracer Ba2+, but they hinder the diffusion of various hydrophilic fluorescent dyes as demonstrated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of live cells. Even those dyes that penetrate gap junctions do not diffuse beyond the septate junctions. The aqueous diffusion pathway within the septal corridors is, therefore, less permeable than the gap-junctional pore. Our morphological results combined with published electrophysiological data suggest that the septa themselves are not completely tight for small physiologically relevant ions. We also examined, by CLSM, whether the septate junctions create a permeability barrier for the lateral diffusion of fluorescent lipophilic dyes incorporated into the peripheral membrane domain. AFC16, claimed to remain in the outer membrane leaflet, does not diffuse beyond the junctional region, whereas DiIC16, claimed to flip-flop, does. Thus, pleated septate junctions, like vertebrate tight junctions, contribute to the maintenance of cell polarity.

    Notizen: Abstract  Chronic vasodilatation represents a stimulus for capillary growth associated with increased luminal shear stress. We have examined the ultrastructure of more than 2000 capillaries to establish whether the sequence of angiogenesis in response to this stimulus is similar to that described during development and under pathological circumstances. Administration of the α1-blocker prazosin to rats for 2 weeks led to a greater capillary length density in extensor hallucis proprius muscles without any change in capillary tortuosity: J v(c,f)=262±54 compared with 350±17 mm–2, control compared with prazosin (P〈0.002). There were obvious signs of endothelial cell (EC) activation after prazosin treatment, including an increased proportion of capillaries with rough endoplasmic reticulum, large cytoplasmic vacuoles, thickened endothelium and an irregular luminal surface. Capillaries from control muscles had a maximum of three ECs in cross section, whereas four ECs were noted in 0.8+0.5% of capillaries after 1 week (n.s.) and 2.5±0.9% after 2 weeks (P〈0.01) of treatment. This could be due to elongation and/or migration of ECs, as cell proliferation has not been described at these time points. There was also an increase in the proportion of capillaries having a narrow, slit-like lumen (1.7±0.8% of controls; 7.1±1.9% at 1 week; 8.8±2.5% at 2 weeks; P〈0.02), some of which were smaller in size (less than 2 μm diameter) than in controls (3–5 μm) and/or “seamless”, i.e. lacking EC junctions. These may represent newly formed vessels. Focal discontinuity of the basement membrane and abluminal EC processes were rarely seen, and capillary growth by abluminal sprouting appeared to be very infrequent (less than 0.001% of profiles). Of more importance was growth starting from the luminal side. Significantly more thin cytoplasmic processes were observed protruding into the lumen of capillaries after 1 week (47.5±6.2%, P〈0.001) and 2 weeks of prazosin (34.2±5.5%, P〈0.05) than in control vessels (16.7±3.9%). Some of these traversed the entire lumen and connected with endothelium of the opposite side, probably involving membrane fusion, resulting in the appearance of a double lumen. Individual capillaries with a complete double lumen were observed after 2 weeks’ prazosin but comparatively rarely, in only four out of six muscles. These findings indicate a pattern of luminal growth which is completely different from intussusceptive growth previously described during development, and from the abluminal capillary sprouting seen under pathological circumstances.

    Notizen: Summary The concept and nomenclature for the elements of teliospore walls in smut fungi are presented and a survey of teliosporogenesis is given, as seen by light and transmission electron microscopy. Four developmental types are distinguished: the Ustilago, Microbotryum, Tilletia, and Entorrhiza type. In the Ustilago type, sporogenous hyphae are completely segmented into teliospore initials which are embedded in a hyaline matrix formed by gelatinised hyphal walls (found in species ofAnthracoidea, Cintractia, Heterotolyposporium, Kuntzeomyces, Macalpinomyces, Melanopsichium, Sporisorium, Testicularia, Tolyposporium junci, Trichocintractia, and species ofUstilago infecting members of the family Poaceae). In the Microbotryum type, septate sporogenous hyphae are also completely segmented into teliospore initials, however, they are not surrounded by a hyaline matrix (Microbotryum, Sphacelotheca, Ustilago spp. infecting dicotyledons). A yeast-like budding of teliosporogenic cells is observed for some species ofMicrobotryum, Sphacelotheca, andUstilago infecting dicotyledons. In the Tilletia type, teliospores differentiate locally in the sporogenous hyphae, in an apical or intercalary position, without a hyaline matrix (Conidiosporomyces, Doassinga, Entyloma, Erratomyces, Ingoldiomyces, Neovossia, Oberwinkleria, Rhamphospora, Tilletia). In all these types, the teliospore initials first develop a hyaline sheath under which the ornamentation, the exosporium, sometimes a middle layer, and the endosporium are successively deposited by the fungal cell. In the Entorrhiza type, the teliospores develop inside vital host cells with the wall of the sporogenous hypha included into the teliospore wall. The fungus develops a middle layer and an electron-transparent endosporium inside the hyphal wall while a layer forming the ornamentation is deposited onto the hyphal wall, probably by vesicles of dictyosomes of the host cell.

    Notizen: Summary To study the effect of culturing on megagametophytes of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and hybrid larch (Larix × eurolepis), cones were collected at the time of fertilization and the megagametophytes were removed, then placed on medium. We used a modified Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 5% lactose and 10% polyethylene glycol 4000. A variety of cell types proliferated including prothallial, neck, and jacket cells. Some of these multiplying cells showed a binucleate condition. The prothallial cells of the apex divided and expanded. The neck cells formed clusters composed of more cells than normally found in situ; though otherwise they showed ultrastructural similarity to neck cells in situ. These neck cells had large numbers of active Golgi complexes, numerous large and small vacuoles, coated vesicles, smooth vesicles, a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum, and thickened cell walls. These are the first reports of neck cell multiplication and induction of a binucleate state for gymnosperm megagametophyte cells in vitro.

    Notizen: Summary The transport of ions and metabolites through plasmodesmata has been thought to be controlled at the neck region where the cytoplasmic annulus is constricted and where callose has also been localised. In order to determine the possible structural and functional effects of callose, its deposition was inhibited through incubation of the plant tissue with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (DDG) for 1 h prior to fixation in 2.5% glutaraldehyde. The inhibition of callose formation was monitored through aniline blue-induced fluorescence of callose. The neck region of the plasmodesmata fromAllium cepa L. roots treated with DDG exhibited a funnel-shaped configuration. This is in contrast to the plasmodesmata from tissue not incubated with DDG, which exhibited constricted necks similar to those previously reported. Both initial dissection and glutaraldehyde fixation induced neck constriction in plasmodesmata, however, dissection of tissue increased the frequency of constrictions. The inhibition of callose formation by chemical means showed that the neck constrictions and raised collars in this area are artefacts due to physical wounding and glutaraldehyde fixation. The external electron-dense material observed when tannic acid is included in the primary fixative appears to be unrelated to the deposition of callose at the neck region.

    Physiological, structural, and immunological characterization of leaf and chloroplast development in cotton (1998)

    Notizen: Summary Many of the studies of chloroplast ontogeny in higher plants have utilized suboptimal conditions of light and growth to assess development. In this study, we utilized structural, immunological, and physiological techniques to examine the development of the chloroplast in fieldgrown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. “MD 51 ne”). Our youngest leaf sample developmentally was completely folded upon itself and about 0.5 cm in length; leaves of this same plastochron were followed for three weeks to the fully expanded leaf. The chloroplasts at the earliest stage monitored had almost all of the lamellae in small, relatively electron-opaque grana, with relatively few thylakoids which were not appressed on at least one surface. During the development of the thylakoids, the membranes increase in complexity, with considerable stroma lamellae development and an increase in the number of thylakoids per granum. Besides the increase in complexity, both the size and numbers of the chloroplast increase during the development of the leaf. Developmental changes in six thylakoid proteins, five stromal proteins, and one peroxisomal protein were monitored by quantitative immunocytochemistry. Even at the earliest stages of development, the plastids are equipped with the proteins required to carry out both light and dark reactions of photosynthesis. Several of the proteins follow three phases of accumulation: a relatively high density at early stages, a linear increase to keep step with chloroplast growth, and a final accumulation in the mature chloroplast. Photosystem-II(PS II)-related proteins are present at their highest densities early in development, with an accumulation of other parts of the photosynthetic apparatus at a latter stage. The early accumulation of PS-II-related proteins correlates with the much lower ratio of chlorophylla tob in the younger leaves and with the changes in fluorescence transients. These data indicate that some of the conclusions on chloroplast development based upon studies of intercalary meristems of monocots or the greening of etiolated plants may not be adequate to explain development of chloroplasts in leaves from apical meristems grown under natural conditions.

    Notizen: Summary The three-dimensional ultrastructural organization of the mitotic apparatus ofDimastigella mimosa was studied by computer-aided, serial-section reconstruction. The nuclear envelope remains intact during nuclear division. During mitosis, chromosomes do not condense, whereas intranuclear microtubules are found in close association with six pairs of kinetochores. No discrete microtubule-organizing centers, except kinetochore pairs, could be found within the nucleus. The intranuclear microtubules form six separate bundles oriented at different angles to each other. Each bundle contains up to 8 tightly packed microtubules which push the daughter kinetochores apart. At late anaphase only, midzones of these bundles align along an extended interzonal spindle within the narrow isthmus between segregating progeny nuclei. The nuclear division inD. mimosa can be described as closed intranuclear mitosis with acentric and separate microtubular bundles and weakly condensed chromosomes.

    Notizen: Abstract The fine structure of the type species of the genusCyanothece Komárek 1976,C. aeruginosa, is described and compared with the main cytological characteristics of morphologically related members of the generaCyanobium, Cyanobacterium andSynechococcus. Several morphological features, such as cell walls with thick outer layers containing a special type of vesicles, position of thylakoids, “keritomy” (net-like appearance of protoplast caused by arrangement of thylakoids, net-like nucleoids and/or by tendency to form intrathylakoidal spaces) and a special structure of mucilaginous envelopes were found to be characteristic of this genus, supporting its separate position among coccal cyanoprokaryotes (cyanobacteria, cyanophytes). The taxonomic significance of ultrastructural features in all mentioned genera is discussed.

    Teliospores of smut fungi teliospore connections, appendages, and germ pores studied by electron microscopy; phylogenetic discussion of characteristics of teliospores (1998)

    Notizen: Summary Special features of teliospores in smut fungi are described, including teliospore connections, appendages, and germ pores. Balls of teliospores in species of many different genera cohere by remnants of hyphal walls, sheaths, and sometimes interlocking ornamentation. Teliospores are connected in pairs in species ofMycosyrinx andGeminago by special local structures. Appendages can be formed locally by persistent material from the sheath (Cintractia, Anthracoidea, Sphacelotheca), thickened parts of the spore wall (e.g.,Georgefischeria, Jamesdicksonia, Rhamphospora, Tolyposporella), or persistent walls of sporogenous hyphae (Rhamphospora, genera of the Tilletia relationship). Species ofGeorgefischeria, Jamesdicksonia, andTolyposporella have teliospore walls composed of more than three layers of different electron density. “Germ areas” corresponding to thinner parts of the spore wall are known, e.g., for species ofAnthracoidea, Cintractia, andUstilago infecting members of the family Poaceae, while distinct germ pores, one per teliospore, are found in some species ofThecaphora, “Tolyposporium”, andSporisorium. Teliospores ofMycosyrinx cissi have a germination ring. Characteristics of teliospores are used to discuss the phylogeny of smut fungi. A phylogenetic tree in accordance with teliospore characteristics is compared to those obtained from ultrastructural characteristics of host-parasite interaction, of septal pores, and from sequence data. Aspects of teliospore development help to define taxa at a high systematic level (Entorrhizales, Ustilaginales, Tilletiales/Entylomatales, Microbotryaceae), while details of ornamentation ontogeny delimit groups of genera (e.g., genera related toUstilago on members of the Poaceae andSporisorium, Cintractia andAnthracoidea, Tilletia) or single genera (e.g.,Melanopsichium, Dermatosorus, Mycosyrinx, Doassinga, Rhamphospora). Types of ornamentation (warty, reticulate), middle layers, teliospore balls, and germ pores evolved repeatedly by convergence. The smut teliospore itself probably evolved independently at least twice, or perhaps three (or more) times, in the Microbotryales, in the Entorrhizales, and in a common ancestor of the remainder of the Ustilaginomycetes.

    Teliospores of smut fungi teliospore walls and the development of ornamentation studied by electron microscopy (1998)

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Summary The walls of mature teliospores and the development of ornamentation, as seen by transmission electron microscopy, are described for 37 genera of smut fungi, based on observations of ca. 120 species and on literature. Structural diversity of mature teliospore walls is due to differences in spore wall layers forming the spore wall (endosporium, middle layer, exosporium, ornamentation) and to different elements forming the ornamentation (exosporium, ornaments, sheath, hyphal wall, adjacent fungal cells, material of the host). During teliosporogenesis the outer layers are usually deposited first. At the beginning of the formation of the ornamentation the plasma membrane may be smooth or undulated carrying the developing ornaments on its tips or in its depressions. The ornamentation of some genera appears similar when seen by scanning electron microscopy, but can be the product of different developmental patterns (e.g., warts of species ofFarysia, Tilletia, andUstilago), however, warty and reticulate ornamentation can both be produced by similar developmental processes (shown, e.g., for species ofCintractia andTilletia). Typical structures of the mature teliospore wall and developmental patterns based on homologous similarities are described for the following groups of genera or species:Macalpinomyces, Melanopsichium, Sporisorium, andUstilago infecting members of the family Poaceae;Kuntzeomyces, Testicularia, andTrichocintractia; Anthracoidea, Cintractia, Heterotolyposporium piluliforme, andTolyposporium junci; Glomosporium, Sorosporium, andThecaphora; Conidiosporomyces, Erratomyces, Ingoldiomyces, Neovossia, Oberwinkleria, andTilletia; Entyloma, and genera of the Doassansia group;Liroa, Microbotryum, Sphacelotheca, Ustilago infecting dicotyledons, andZundeliomyces; Aurantiosporium, Fulvisporium, andUstilentyloma. Special characteristics of the teliospore wall were observed for the generaDermatosorus, Doassinga, Entorrhha, Farysia, Mycosyrinx, Rhamphospora, and some species ofTolyposporium.

    Notizen: Abstract A solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) in a 37-year-old woman was reported as a rare pleural tumor based on morphological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic studies. The results showed that the tumor was composed of spindle-shaped cells forming fascicular and interlacing patterns with a mixture of mature collagen. The tumor cells coexpressed vimentin and CD34 and lacked cytokeratin reactivity. Ultrastructurally, there were abundant collagenous fibrillae surrounding spindle-shaped cells in which the junctional complex, basement membrane-like structure, and microvilli were not seen. From literature review and observation of the morphological features around the tumor, we consider that the tumor originated from the stromal cells subjacent to the mesothelium.

    Notizen: Abstract Two cases of serous surface carcinoma of the peritoneum (SSCP) are discussed. The first patient was a 48-year-old Japanese woman with abdominal pain and fullness. The second patient was a 66-year-old Japanese woman with abdominal fullness. In both patients, laparotomy revealed many tumor nodules on the peritoneal surface. However, the ovaries, the uterus, and other intraperitoneal organs were free from tumors. The serum levels of CA125 were excessively elevated. The tumor cells were arranged in a papillotubular pattern. Mitoses were frequent. Diastaseresistant PAS-positive, and hyaluronidase-resistant alcian blue-positive materials were observed. In immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells showed positive reactions for cytokeratin, EMA, CA125, and HBME-1, and, in contrast, negative reactions for CEA, thrombomodulin, vimentin, and HHF35. In analysis for Ber-EP4, all tumor cells of case 1 were negative, and a few tumor cells of case 2 were positive. Ultrastructurally, hobnail-shaped tumor cells rested on a continuous basal lamina. Each cell was attached to short desmosomes. Microvilli were slender, straight, and short, and some had core rootlets. Many primary lysosomes were aggregated in the basal portion of the cytoplasm. A few well-differentiated ciliated cells were present. These two cases were diagnosed as SSCP.

    Repair of the surface epithelium after saponin-induced colonic mucosal injury in the rat (1998)

    Notizen: Abstract The superficial colonic epithelia of rats were exposed to 1.0% saponin solution for 3 min and fixed at various periods thereafter. The repair or restitution process was observed by light as well as by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The exposure of the luminal surface to saponin resulted in uniform and extensive damage to the superficial epithelial cells without affecting the cells in the crypts. At 3 min after saponin treatment, the damaged epithelial cells exfoliated from the mucosa and the basal lamina was exposed. Within 15 min, most of the exposed basal lamina was covered by squamous to low-cuboidal epithelial cells, probably migrating from the crypts. These epithelial cells extended large lamellipodia over the denuded basal lamina. After 15 min the damaged surface was completely covered with epithelial cells, which became columnar at 1 h. Tight junction protein ZO-1 became positive along the restituted epithelium. Proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining showed that proliferation of epithelial cells occurred after the restitution. These results suggest that saponin treatment serves as a good model system to study colonic restitution, which is carried out by rapid migration from the remaining crypt cells, followed by cellular proliferation. Rapid formation of tight junctions spanning the damaged regions allows rapid restoration of the barrier function of the colonic epithelium.

    Notizen: Abstract Nerve invasion is one of the biological features of pancreatic cancer, and its mechanism remains to be determined. In this paper, we report on 37 pancreatic cancer specimens observed by immunohistochemical and electron microscopical techniques. The results showed that pancreatic cancer directly invaded and destroyed the perineurium. At the early stage of disease, the peripheral nerve and synaptic membrane were easily destroyed by cancer cells, and invasion and metastasis continuously advanced along the perineural space and central side of nerves. These results suggest that the soft tissue and nerve plexus on the dorsal region of the pancreas may contribute to the recurrence of pancreatic cancer after duodenopancreatectomy.

    Notizen: Abstract To determine the course of capillary angiogenesis in the rat fetal heart, transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the development of both capillaries and cardiomyocytes. In the 15-day-old embryo, the coronary vessels had spread into the superficial space. In the 16-day-old embryo, the coronary vessels began to enter the myocardium. In the 17-day-old embryo, the terminal vascular bed had developed and a marked increase in the population of myocytes was evident. In capillaries entering the myocardium, the outgrowth of endothelial cells into the myocardial cleft was evident. These clefts were formed by intercalated disk and desmosome-like structures. The fibroblasts were always found close to the capillaries or in contact with endothelial cells during the fetal stage to the first neonatal week. In the interstition period, the fibroblasts were not found close to the capillaries. These results are discussed in relation to the role of myocardial clefts and the role of fibroblasts in fetal capillary angiogenesis.

    Notizen: Abstract Malignant myoepithelioma arising in the palatal gland is extremely rare. The present study demonstrated ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of malignant myoepithelioma transformed from long-standing benign myoepithelioma occurring in the palatal gland. Microscopically, the tumor mass was composed of plasmacytoid cells and epitheloid cells. The malignant feature was seen only at the area adjacent to the bone. Immunohistochemically, most of the cells were S-100 positive, whereas vimentin and keratin were only partially positive. Glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) was positive at the peripheral cells of the solid nests and epitheloid cells with myxoid stroma. Ultrastructurally, filament-rich cells, tonofilament-rich cells, and filament-poor cells were observed. At the area adjacent to the bone, the cells implying malignancy were filament-poor cells in which the luminal structures could be detected. From these findings, a scarcity of filaments in myoepitheliomatous components may imply a malignancy.

    Notizen: Summary The egg-shell of Japanese quail was studied by several techniques. Semithin sections (1μm thick) of non-decalcified shell were observed by normal and polarized light microscopy. Thin sections of non-decalcified shell, examined by transmission electron microscopy, permitted us to observe the forms and dimensions of crystals of calcite within different layers of the shell: mammilary layer, layer of cones, palissade layer and surface crystal layer. There appears to be two distinct zones in the layer of cones as well as in the superficial crystal layer. Electron microdiffraction revealed the orientation of calcite crystals in the columns. Some crystal defects (twins?) were described and the possibility of their artefactual formation during ultramicrotomy is discussed. Localization of Ca, Mg, P and S were made by X-ray microanalysis of semithin sections. This technique shows that shell membranes, and chiefly the true cuticle, are also mineralized but, in these layers, minerals are not crystallized. Otherwise the distribution of Mg is not uniform throughout the shell thickness; it is less concentrated in the external zone of the layer of cones. These results together with observation of developing shells by scanning electron microscopy allowed us to propose a scheme for shell organization of the quail egg. This organization was related with decalcification which occurs during hatching.

    Notizen: Summary The endocrine pancreatic tissue from patients with severe primary chronic pancreatitis (n=6), secondary chronic pancreatitis due to duct obstruction by carcinoma (n=6) and non-diabetic, non-pancreatitic controls (n=4) was studied qualitatively and quantitatively using specific immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy. Grouping of variously sized islets in the sclerotic tissue (sclerosis islets), islet neoformation by ductuloinsular proliferation, and intrainsular fibrosis were the main qualitative findings. Immunocytochemical quantitation of the distribution of insulin (B), glucagon (A), somatostatin (D) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) producing cells revealed a significant relative increase in the number of A cells and a decrease in the number of B cells of the sclerosis islets in primary chronic pancreatitis (B-44.1±9.3%:A-38.3±2.4%:D-8.6±5.1%:PP-4.6±4.1%) as well as in secondary chronic pancreatitis (B-38.0±14.3%:A-38.4±19.0%:D-9.1±5.8%:PP-14.5±23.4%) compared with controls (B-71.1±8.1%:A-24.3±5.5%:D-8.0±2.8%:PP-0.5±0.4%). The number of PP cells was significantly increased in primary chronic pancreatitis only. It is suggested that scarring of the exocrine pancreas affects islet composition, probably by impairment of the local circulation and of glucose diffusion, thus leading to reduction of the number and glucose sensitivity of B cells. The hyperplasia of A and PP cells appears to be a secondary phenomenon due to the loss of B cells.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Ziel dieser Untersuchung war es, quantitative and qualitative Änderungen der ACTH-Zelle in der Rattenhypophyse nach Gabe eines spezifischen und eines unspezifischen Stimulus zu untersuchen. Es wurden ein CRF-Analogon (Lysin-Vasopressin) und ein Prostaglandin (Prostaglandin E1) benutzt. Jeweils 20 Ratten wurden für 4 Wochen Lysin-Vasopressin oder Prostaglandin E1 intraperitoneal injiziert. Die Hypophysen wurden licht- und elektronenoptisch sowie morphometrisch untersucht. Nach Gabe beider Stoffe konnte man eine Aktivierung der ACTH-Zellen beobachten. Die Vergrö\erung des Kerns, des Cytoplasmas und der an der Hormonherstellung beteiligten Zellorganellen lie\ sich morphometrisch nachweisen, wobei die Wirkung von Lysin-Vasopressin ausgeprÄgter war als die des Prostaglandins. Darüber hinaus konnte eine Zunahme der ACTH-Zellzahl gefunden und mit einem statistischen Test als signifikant nachgewiesen werden. Im Gegensatz zu Lysin-Vasopressin erstreckte sich die Wirkung des Prostaglandins auch auf andere Hypophysenzellen.
    Notizen: Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the qualitative and quantitative changes of ACTH-cells in the rat after application of a specific and a non-specific stimulus. A CRF-analog (lysin-vasopressin) and a prostaglandin (prostaglandin E1) were used. 40 rats were injected lysin-vasopressin or prostaglandin E1, respectively, for 4 weeks. The pituitary glands were investigated by means of light microscopy, electron microscopy and morphometry. Activation of the ACTH-cells could be observed after use of both substances, the effect of lysin-vasopressin being more intense than that of prostaglandin E1. Enlargement of the nucleus, the cytoplasm and the organelles involved in hormone-production and -transport were found and verified by morphometry. Additionally an increase in number of the cells could be demonstrated. Prostaglandin influenced not only ACTH-cells, but also other cells of the anterior pituitary.

    Notizen: Summary An electronoptical study has been made of eleven placentae from cases of materno-fetal rhesus incompatibility. The characteristic findings are focal, but sometimes quite extensive, syncytial necrosis, retention of normal pinocytotic and secretory activity in the non-necrotic syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblastic hyperplasia, thickening of the trophoblastic basement membrane, immature-type endothelial cells in the fetal villous vessels and thickening or lamination of the capillary basement membranes. The pathogenesis of many of these changes is not clear but there is no evidence that they are immunologically mediated. It is suggested that the syncytial necrosis may be due to narrowing of the intervillous space as a result of increased villous size, that the cytotrophoblastic hyperplasia is a response to the syncytial damage and is responsible for the changes in the trophoblastic basement membrane and that the fetal capillary changes are indicative of endothelial cell damage due, possibly, to fetal anaemia. Despite the damage suffered by the placenta in materno-fetal rhesus incompatibility there is little evidence of impaired functional efficiency.

    Notizen: Summary The present case report is concerned with a clinico-pathological study, including ultrastructural investigation, of a rare and uncommon laryngeal tumour, a chemodectoma, in a 62 year old patient. There have been 23 cases of laryngeal chemodectomas reported in the literature, and only three of them, including our own report, were investigated by electron microscopy. The tumours arise from the superior and inferior laryngeal nonchromaffin paraganglia or possibly from Kultschitzky-cells of the normal bronchial mucosa. Ultrastructurally they have all the characteristics of apudomas whose parent cells (the APUD-cells), usually show endocrine function and probably have their origin in the neural crest. The tumours show an aggressive type of behaviour, despite usually benign histological features when compared to chemodectomas at other sites in the head and neck region. Surgery is thus the therapy of choice.

    Notizen: Summary The fine structural localization of nonspecific alkaline phosphatase was elucidated in two giant cell tumors of bone using lead as capturing ion and Β-glycerophosphate as substrate in the incubation solution. Lead phosphate precipitate — indicating presence of alkaline phosphatase — was demonstrated on the plasma membranes, and the membranes bordering vesicles and vacuoles of presumed endocytotic nature, in giant cells and type 1 stromal cells (fibroblast-like cells). The findings support the view that stromal cells type I and giant cells are histogenetically related.

    The ultrastructure of bone cells and bone matrix in human primary hyperparathyroidism (1978)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary An electron microscope investigation has been carried out on needle biopsies of the iliac crest of 8 patients suffering from primary hyperparathyroidism. A marked increase in bone resorption was the most conspicuous finding. It was due both to increased osteoclastic activity and to periosteocytic osteolysis. The osteoclasts had a more strongly developed brush border and contained more cytoplasmic vacuoles than those in controls. Many osteocytes were found within enlarged, irregular lacunae, and were surrounded by a space containing amorphous, granular and filamentous material. Their mitochondria were sometimes calcified. Osteoblasts were more active than in controls as shown by the developed rough ergastoplasmic cysternae and thick osteoid borders found near some of them. The osteoid tissue, however, was uncalcified; ultrastructurally, lack of the calcification front and incomplete matrix calcification were demonstrable. Mast cells, and osteoclast- and macrophage-like giant cells were often found in the fibrotic marrow spaces. These results confirm that both the resorption and the formation of bone are stimulated in hyperparathyroidism. The calcification process is delayed and often remains incomplete.

    Notizen: Summary The fine structure of the different cell types constituting a primary malignant giant cell tumor of bone has been studied and the localization of acid phosphatase in relation to the subcellular organelles been demonstrated. Three distinct cell types with characteristic ultrastructural features were observed: giant cells, fibroblast-like cells, and cells with abundant lipid inclusions and mitochondria. Certain differences were noted between these three cell types and their counterparts in benign giant cell tumors of bone (described in a separate report). The enzyme histochemical and morphological data suggested that the giant cells in the malignant tumor might possess a more active and expansive lysosomal apparatus than corresponding cells in the benign variant.

    Notizen: Summary Two pingueculae combined with pterygia were studied by light and electron microscopy. Hyaline degeneration of the collagen, dark staining granular, von Kossa negative concretions and elastotic material were observed in both conditions together with marked changes in the fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes and the basement membrane of conjunctival capillaries and small veins. The elastotic material is similar to that observed in solar elastosis, where the collagen fibers are less severely damaged. Chronic sun exposure of the pericorneal conjunctiva may damage endothelial cells primarily and disturb vascular exchanges. This would result in accelerated degeneration and regeneration of endothelial cells, in thickening of the basement membrane and, secondarily, disturbed metabolism of fibroblasts with alterations of the collagen and elastic fibers.

    Notizen: Summary Ultrastructural study of a malignant meningioma revealed an organelle complex composed of: (1) A band-like densification of the cell cytoplasm adjacent to and in contact with the cell membrane. (2) An arciform filament immediately subjacent to it, with concavity directed away from the cell membrane. (3) A row of regularly spaced ribosomes located in the concavity, but at some distance from the arciform filament. (4) A pericellular condensation of interstitial ground substance. Occasionally, a second, thinner filament was seen “threading” the ribosomes together. Its morphology was consistent with that described for messenger RNA. It is suggested that the ribosomes are engaged in the synthesis of proteins for other portions of the organelle complex and that the ultimate role of the specialized unit would be that of an attachment device.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructural changes during development and metamorphosis in the liver ofXenopus laevis have been investigated. In this species it was found that developmental processes, which ultimately lead to the formation of bile canaliculi, can be detected in the liver anlage as early as stage 35. While the wall of the primary liver cavity is thrown into folds which form the liver parenchyma, the bile canaliculi are formed (st. 36–38). Secretion into the lumen of the bile canaliculi was not found to occur before stage 47 and IDP-ase activity could not be detected in the bile canaliculi before stage 49. The intra- and extrahepatic portions of the hepatic duct system were found to be formed during the stages 40–41. The formation of the duct system involves cellular degeneration in the lumen of the future ducts. These processes are described in detail. The glycogen content of the developing hepatocytes received particular attention during the course of this study. It was found that after depletion of the embryonal glycogen the hepatocytes are completely free from glycogen during the stages 43–45. At stage 46, after the begin of feeding, beta as well as alpha particles of glycogen appear in the hepatocytes. These first reappearing glycogen particles are formed without the participation of SER membranes, in areas which are loaded with RNA particles. It was found that only after the synthesis of glycogen had been initiated SER membranes started to proliferate in the hepatocytes, where they were mostly found intermingled with glycogen particles. From stage 54 on, where the liver glycogen content was found to be 0.2%, the glycogen content of the liver almost continuously increased until it reached a temporary peak of 10% at the end of metamorphosis. These findings strongly contrast results reported for other amphibia, which at the end of metamorphosis have depleted their glycogen content completely. Details of the ultrastructural changes occuring during development of the hepatocytes, are also reported in this paper.

    Notizen: Summary The structural organization of the ependymal and macroglial components of the central field of the spinal cord of postmetamorphic ribbed newts has been reinvestigated using elaborate fixation procedures for transmission electron microscopy. All along the central canal, the ependymal cells display ultrastructural features that strongly suggest a secretory activity. Infrequent mitotic images, occurring spontaneously among the ependymal cells, were observed. The tightly compacted periependymal stratum contains two types of glial cells: 1. oligodendrocytes, also observed outside this stratum as neuronal satellites, and 2. radial astrocytic cells, whose somata, exclusively located in the periependymal stratum, send their processes to the subpial lamina. The intercellular relationships between ependyma, oligodendrocytes and astrocytic cells are illustrated to show the continuity of the neuroepithelial configuration. Morphologic clues for identifying the cells of the central field of the urodele spinal cord are given. A gradient of differentiation of the oligodendroglial components could be postulated. In normal conditions, the astroglial differentiation is permanently arrested at the stage of radial glia. Some considerations concerning regeneration in the urodele spinal cord are submitted.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructural analysis of the adenohypophysis in the male Chinese quail reveals seven different types of granular cells, and agranular folliculo-stellate cells. The cell types are assumed to be endocrine cells and are classified as: Type I cells (presumptive LH-gonadotrophs), with dilated endoplasmic reticulum, perinuclear spaces, and granules of 150–260 nm; Type II cells (presumptive FSH-gonadotrophs), with regularly-shaped cytoplasmic cisterns and small granules (80–150 nm); Type III cells (presumptive thyrotrophs), very close in appearance to the type II cells of normal birds; Type IV cells (presumptive prolactin cells), with very large secretory granules (up to 400 nm), Type V cells (presumptive corticotrophs), with abundant and electrondense granules (160–300 nm); Type VI cells, with irregularly-shaped granules; Type VII cells (presumptive somatotrophs), with abundant granules (130–220 nm) and less cytoplasmic structures. Cytological characteristics of the nucleus, and more particularly the presence of a Feulgen-positive nucleolus with a very particular ultrastructure are here reported. It is proposed that heterospecific associations of Chinese quail cells with chick cells can be used in embryological work for the study of cellular interactions.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Der Kollagenstoffwechsel in granulierenden Hautwunden der Ratte wurde mittels biochemischer, tracerkinetischer und elektronenmikroskopischer Methoden untersucht. Die Ablagerung von Kollagen in Hautwunden der Ratte war nicht nur das Ergebnis eines Anstiegs der Kollagensynthese, sondern wurde ebenso durch eine Abnahme des Kollagenabbaus bedingt. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigten signifikante Unterschiede im Kollagenumsatz zu verschiedenen Zeiten der Wundheilung. Der herabgesetzte Kollagenkatabolismus in den frühen Stadien der Wundheilung steuerte in entscheidender Weise zur Kollagenakkumulation im Wundgebiet bei. Während späterer Stadien, zum Zeitpunkt der Wundkontraktion und der Remodellierung der Narbe, stieg die Umsatzrate des Kollagens an. Die dargestellten Ergebnisse werden im Zusammenhang mit den allgemeinen Kriterien der Narbenbildung diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary Collagen metabolism in granulating wounds of rat skin was studied with biochemical, isotopic and electron microscopical methods. Deposition of collagen in rat skin wounds was not only the result of an increase in collagen synthesis but it was also caused by a decrease in collagen degradation. Our investigations showed significant differences in the collagen turnover at different times of wound healing. Decreased collagen catabolism at the early stages of wound healing contributed decisively to collagen accumulation in the wound area. At later stages, during wound contraction and remodelling of the scar, the rate of collagen degradation rose. The above-mentioned results are discussed in the context of general criteria of scar formation.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Eine 61jährige Patientin hatte sich vor 15 Jahren einen Tumor vom linken Unterschenkel entfernen lassen. Im Bereich der Narbe kam es zu erneuter Tumorbildung. Die histologische Untersuchung zeigte einen aus meist spindeligen Zellen zusammengesetzten Tumor mit vielen Mitosen und Kernpolymorphie. Die Diagnose eines cutanen Leiomyosarkoms wurde durch den elektronenmikroskopischen Nachweis der für glatte Muskelzellen charakteristischen Zellelemente gesichert. Der Differenzierungsgrad der Tumorzellen variierte zwischen relativ differenzierten, filamentreichen Zellen, die noch an normale glatte Muskelzellen erinnerten, und ödematösen, filamentarmen, aber organellenreichen entdifferenzierten Zellen. Eine auffallende morphologische Besonderheit war der wiederholte Nachweis von zahlreichen akkumulierten Centriolen.
    Notizen: Summary A 61-year old woman developed a tumourous nodule in her left leg. Fifteen years ago a similar tumour had been removed in the same localization. Histological examination performed on biopsy material showed bundles of predominantly fusiform tumour cells with nuclear pleomorphism and many mitotic figures. Electron microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma by demonstration of the ultrastructural characteristics of smooth muscle cells. Cellular differentiation showed various degree ranging from smooth muscle cell type to dedifferentiated edematous tumour cells with scanty myofilaments. An important finding was the demonstration of multiple accumulated centrioles.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Unterschiede im Verlauf und Erbmuster des Colloid Milium deuten an, daß zwischen dem juvenilen und adulten Typ dieser Dermatose wesentliche Unterschiede bestehen. Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchungen war, mit Hilfe von Licht-, Immunfluorescenz- und elektronenoptischen Methoden nach Unterschieden im mikroskopischen Bereich anhand je eines Falles zu suchen. Folgende Befunde wurden erhoben: Beim juvenilen Colloid Milium sind die Kolloidmassen nicht nur direkt unter dem Epithel abgelagert, sondern auch innerhalb der Epidermis häufig zu finden. Sie zeigen nach Kongorotfärbung einen Dichroismus und können Immunglobuline, Komplement und Fibrin enthalten. Elektronenmikroskopisch zeigt sich, daß sie aus dicht gepackten wellig verlaufenden Fibrillen bestehen, deren individueller Durchmesser etwa 80 Å beträgt. Innerhalb dieser fibrillären Massen sind häufig Melanosomen, Reste von Kernen und anderen Zellorganellen sowie Desmosomen nachweisbar. Beim adulten Colloid Milium sind die Kolloidmassen meist von der Epidermis durch einen Elastika-positiven Bindegewebsstreifen getrennt. Mit Kongorot sind sie nur schwach darstellbar und zeigen keinen Dichroismus. Fluorescenzoptisch zeigen sie eine bläuliche Autofluorescenz, aber keine spezifischen Ablagerungen. Elektronenmikroskopisch kann das adulte Kolloid als feingranuläres Material mit wenigen feinsten Mikrofibrillen charakterisiert werden, das in enger Nachbarschaft von Gefäßen mit verdichteter Basalmembran und von aktiven Fibroblasten gelegen ist. Auf Grund dieser Unterschiede können der juvenile und adulte Typ des Colloid Miliums klar auch mikroskopisch voneinander differenziert werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß beim juvenilen Typ vorwiegend epidermale Läsionen, beim adulten jedoch dermale Störungen eine wesentliche Rolle in der Pathogenese spielen.
    Notizen: Summary Two different types of colloid milium are characterized on the basis of clinical and genetical parameters. In order to establish morphological criteria allowing a differentiation also at microscopic levels comparative histopathological, histo- and immunochemical as well as ultrastructural investigations were performed in a case of juvenile and a case of adult colloid milium. The following results were obtained: In juvenile colloid milium the colloid material is deposed in direct apposition to the basal epidermal layers and can be found also in suprabasal position within the epidermis. No actinic elastosis is present in the periphery of the deposits but they exhibit a green birefringency by investigation of Congo-red stained frozen sections in polarized light. Immunoglobulins, complement and fibrin can be demonstrated within the deposits by direct immunofluorescence. Electron microscopy reveales a fibrillar ultrastructure of the colloid masses, which contain numerous melanin granules and desmosomes. Therefore the colloid material in the juvenile type is most likely of epidermal origin. In adult colloid milium the colloid is usually separated from the epidermis by a band of connective tissue elements containing a considerable amount of elastin. The surrounding superficial dermis frequently exhibits elastotic changes. Congo-red reaction is only weakly positive and no dichroisms can be found. Direct immunofluorescence reveals no specific staining, but a blue autofluorescence of the material. Ultrastructurally, the adult colloid represents mainly finely granular material, with only few microfilaments. The masses are situated in the dermis, often near duplicated vascular basement membranes and in close apposition to active fibroblasts. Thus, the colloid material seems to be of dermal origin. The microscopic findings strongly indicate, that the two different types of colloid milium indeed represent different entities, discernable not only by clinical or genetic but also by histomorphologic parameters.

Histologische und elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen und die Polyacrylamid-Elektrophorese der Tyrosinaseaktivitäten zeigten vom morphologischen und biochemischen, daß die Veränderungen der Programmierung solcher “nude” Mäuse auf den Haarcyclus und auf das Haarwachstum bezogen werden kann. In der Tat entwickeln sich die Haarfollikel cyclisch wie die der Mäuse mit normaler Haut. In depigmentierter Haut waren die Haare in der Ruhepause und es konnte keine lösliche Tyrosinase aufgefunden werden.
    Notizen: Summary The authors have studied pigmentary changes of skin and hair due to the presence of the “nude” gene in pigmented species (C 57 Bl. 6J, C 3H). Morphological (histology, electron microscopy) and biochemical (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of tyrosinase activities) studies showed that the pigmentary alterations of the “nude” mice were related to the hair cycle and hair growth wave pattern. In fact, in the “nude” mice the hair follicles evolves cyclically similarly to mice of normal coat. In depigmented skin, the hair follicles were in the resting phase and no soluble tyrosinase could be demonstrated.

Zusätzlich werden einige Melanin enthaltende Makrophagen und auch solche mit aufgenommenen cellulären Abbauprodukten beobachtet. Die gesamte Reaktion wird mit anderen pseudolymphomatösen Reaktionen in der Haut in Beziehung gesetzt.
    Notizen: Summary A single subcutaneous injection of Oriental hornet venom into black mice led to the development of a subcutaneous nodule which showed no change during the period of 1 year. Study of the ultrastructure revealed an accumulation of lymphocytes and lymphoblasts and a few plasma cells with formation of Russel bodies. In addition, a few melanin-containing macrophages and macrophages filled with cellular debris were found. This reaction is compared to other pseudolymphomatous reactions in the dermis.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Drei Knoten (klinisches Alter 3–5 Wochen) von 2 Patienten mit sogenannten Swimmingpool- oder Aquariumgranulomen wurden elektronenoptisch untersucht. Das cytohistologische Spektrum umfaßt sowohl akute exsudative, als auch chronische proliferative Entzündungszeichen. Bereits im 3 Wochen alten Granulom sind Epitheloidzellen und Kollagen produzierende Fibroblasten nachweisbar. Das Mycobacterium marinum-Granulom stellt gemäß dem cytologischen Aufbau ein sog. High-turnover Granulom mit allergischer Genese dar. Es entspricht damit mycobacteriellen Dermatosen bei bestehender guter Abwehrlage (Lupus vulgaris, tuberkuloide Lepra). In Abbau befindliche Mycobacterien konnten in wenigen Phagocyten entdeckt werden. Die Ultrastruktur des lebenden Erregers wird vergleichsweise von tierexperimentellem Material präsentiert. Geschwungene und ringförmige parallele Membranen (“Worm-like structures”) wurden im Cytoplasma von transformierten Makrophagen und in Fibroblasten beobachtet. Fadenförmige quergebänderte Strukturen (Periodizität 170–180 Å) im Lumen des rauhen endoplasmatischen Reticulums von einigen Fibroblasten werden als intracellulär aggregierte Kollagenpräcursoren interpretiert.
    Notizen: Summary 3 biopsies of 3–5 week-old nodular lesions in 2 patients with socalled swimming-pool (aquarium-) granuloma have been examined by electron microscopy. The cytohistological spectrum simultaneously comprises acute exudative as well as chronic proliferative phenomena. Epithelioid cells and collagen producing fibroblasts already conspicious in 3 week-old granuloma. According to the cytological composition the Mycobacterium marinum granuloma represents a high-turnover granuloma with immunogenic origin. It is comparable to mycobacterial diseases in the presence of well developed cell mediated immunity (Lupus vulgaris, tuberculoid leprosy). Degrading mycobacteria have been rarely detected in phagocytes and are compared with viable bacilli in macrophages of experimentally infected mice. Curved and annular parallel membranes (“worm-like structures”) in the cytoplasm of transformed macrophages and in fibroblasts presumably originate from the membranes of endoplasmic reticulum. Cord-like structures with transverse bands (periodicity 170–180 Å) in the lumen of RER of some fibroblasts are interpreted as intracellularly aggregated collagen precursors.

Ihre Zellwand ist ca. 120 Å dick und trilaminar entsprechend Gram-negativen Bakterien. Die Bakterien sind hinsichtlich der Zellwandstruktur sowie der Cytoplasmazusammensetzung identisch mit Haemophilus ducreyi, die kulturell von typischen Ulcera mollia gezüchtet, intermittierend mikroskopisch auf Reinheit geprüft, in tierisches Material geimpft und anschließend ultrastrukturell untersucht wurden. In menschlichem ulcerösen Gewebe finden sich die Bakterien überwiegend im Extracellulärraum und in Gruppen gelagert.
    Notizen: Summary During an endemic appearance of chancroids (26 cases) in Berlin (West) coccobacilli were disclosed in biopsies by electron microscopy. The bacteria were aggregated predominantly in groups in the extracellular space. Their cell wall is approximately 120 Å thick and trilaminar as in Gram-negative bacteria. Concerning the cell wall structure and the cytoplasmic composition, the detected coccobacilli are identical to culturally grown Haemophilus ducreyi obtained from chancroids.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé Les cellules cartilagineuses des membres postérieurs deTriturus cristatus en régénération après amputation, ont été étudiées en microscopie électronique et par cytophotométrie à balayage. Nous nous sommes intéressés à la structure et à la distribution de la chromatine mais aussi à différents organites cytoplasmiques. Dans l'étude de cytophotométrie à balayage, la chromatine a été considérée à travers son constituant majeur, l'ADN, coloré par la réaction de Feulgen. Au cours de la régénération du membre, l'hétérochromatine initialement condensée, essentiellement accolée à la membrane nucléaire se décondense. Les vacuoles du cytoplasme, caractéristiques des animaux âgés par rapport aux animaux jeunes, disparaissent, les mitochondries et le reticulum endoplasmique rugueux deviennent plus abondants. Les caractéristiques nucléaires de l'activation cellulaire apparaissent précocement, précédent les modifications cytoplasmiques et conduisent à des cellules en tous points identiques aux cellules d'animaux jeunes en dehors de tout processus régénératif. Cette phase d'euchromatisation et de restructuration cytoplasmique est peut-être nécessaire à l'accroissement d'activité métabolique et à la division cellulaire qui suivent. Son déroulement peut expliquer tout au moins le ralentissement de la régénération observé chez les animaux âgés par rapport aux animaux jeunes.
    Notizen: Summary Cartilaginous cells of aged newts (Triturus cristatus) were studied during hind limb regeneration. The electron microscope was used to study the structure and distribution of chromatin in the cell nuclei, while the DNA content of the chromatin was measured by means of a scanning cytophotometer. Changes in the ultrastructure of the cytoplasm during regeneration were also studied. It was observed that the structure and distribution of chromatin in the activated cell is greatly modified. In the non-activated cell of the aged newt, the chromatin is found highly condensed and distributed peripherally close to the nuclear membrane. In contrast, in the activated cells, the chromatin is much less condensed and is distributed throughout the nucleus. Moreover, cytoplasmic vacuoles, found only in the non-activated aged cells, disappear and an increase in the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum is also observed. Changes in the nuclear structure are observed prior to the cytoplasmic modifications. It is interesting to note that the process of activation induces structural changes in the aged cells which make these cells appear to be structurally identical to the young cells. This process of rejuvenation takes 3–5 days in the newt. We suggest that these structural changes of the chromatin and cytoplasm in the aged cells are necessary to increase the metabolic activity which precedes cell division. It may also explain why regeneration takes a longer time in the aged animals than in the young ones.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Histological, histochemical and ultrastructural studies were performed on muscle biopsies from three siblings with congenital nemaline myopathy. Histological studies revealed type I fibre atrophy and type II fibre paucity. Ultrastructural studies of intramuscular nerves showed that the axonal diameters were very narrow compared with the width of myelin lamellae. Granular or membranous osmiophilic material occurred in the adaxonal Schwann cell cytoplasm and had a periodicity of 33–38Å. The neuromuscular junctions showed degenerative features such as glycogen granules or myelin figures in 27.1% of total terminal axons. The secondary synaptic clefts were markedly decreased in number and short in length. Myotendinous junction-like structures were found in 5.5% of the muscle fibres near the neuromuscular junctions, and often near sites of fibre-splitting. Rods in nemaline myopathy might be caused as a result of longitudinal splitting and disruption of fibres due to deficient regeneration of the muscle fibres associated with neurotrophic abnormalities.

    Notizen: Summary Three cases of choroid plexus papilloma were studied by light and electron microscopy. All had the typical papillary pattern, and, in addition, two exhibited solid areas of tumor growth which predominated in one case. PAS positive (diastase resistant) and argyrophilic cytoplasmic inclusions were present in all three tumors but were particularly abundant in the predominantly solid one. Ultrastructurally, the inclusions appeared as irregularly shaped structures containing lipid droplets, filamentous material and microtubules, and resembled the “silver bodies” of Biondi found in normal choroid plexus. Along with other ultrastructural features of normal choroid plexus, these cytoplasmic inclusions may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of papillary tumors involving the ventricular system.

    Notizen: Summary A 24-year-old woman was found comatose after 2 days of cephalalgia and vomiting. An immediate diagnosis of carbon monoxyde poisoning was disclaimed when blood carbon monoxyde was found to be 1.75 ml/100. A diagnosis of acute intracranial hypertension led to trephination with ventricular punction and brain biopsy on the third day. The patient died on the eleventh day. Ultrastructural study of biopsy tissue showed nearly normal cortex, and injured white matter, with disrupted or destroyed myelin and pycnotic oligodendroglia in contrast with nearly normal axons, astrocytes, and capillaries. Autopsy showed a typical semioval center myelinopathy. After discussion of the histotoxic, vascular, and edema theories for myelinopathy pathogenesis, primary oligodendrogial lesion is considered, and correlated with the diphasic evolution often observed in the course of carbon monoxyde myelinopathy.

    Notizen: Summary Craniopharyngiomas are tumors of the suprasellar area, which are often cystic, encapsulated and slow-growing. Certain of these tumors can behave in an aggressive manner and either invade surrounding structures or recur. In order to determine characteristics which may aid in distinguishing typical from atypical lesions, a study of biopsy and tissue culture specimens from 25 human craniopharyngiomas was undertaken. Tissue culture observations reveal two distinct cell populations. Typical lesions grew in culture in an orderly epithelial pattern and had desmosome-tonofibril aggregates and smooth surface topography demonstrable by electron microscopy. In the atypical tumors the cell growth was irregular, with mitotic activity, cholesterol crystals and features characteristic of neoplastic transformation, such as surface microvilli, an increase of cytoplasmic basophilia, size and number of nucleoli and retraction of cytoplasm. Correlation with the clinical status of the patients suggests that tumors of the four patients which exhibited atypical features in culture behaved more aggressively.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Focal brain edema limited to one cerebral hemisphere was produced by ultraviolet irradiation of the exposed cortex. Tissue water content was determined by the gravimetric method which allows microsampling. Therefore, the spread of edema around the small necrotic area could be mapped more precisely than by determination of dry weight which calls for larger samples. As early as 30 min following irradiation, hyperemia and swelling of the brain are observed under the operating microscope. This correlates with venous stasis, hyperemia, and broadened perivascular spaces around venules and large capillaries accompanied by a marked rise in the specific weight of the tissue. After 4 h an edema front can be observed spreading from the perinecrotic zone in which there is a marked rise in endothelial cell vesicular activity. Edema reaches maximum levels in the deep white matter at 48 h post irradiation with normalisation of the tissue water content after 96 h. The velocity at which the edema front spreads from the cortex to the periventricular area lies in the range of 0.25 mm/h. Edema reabsorption coincides with signs of retrograde micropinocytosis in endothelial cells.

    The effects of cytochalasin B and colchicine on cell motility and ultrastructure in primary cultures of malignant gliomas (1978)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Primary tissue cultures of human gliomas were treated with cytochalasin B (0.5–60 μg/ml for 90 min). Cell motility was inhibited irreversibly in glial tumour cells, but the effect was reversible on the mesenchymal cells growing in culture in the lower dose range. Cell adhesion was considerably reduced as the dose was increased, as was the capacity for cells to spread on a surface from suspension. Low concentrations of cytochalasin B caused negligible cell death and little disruption of cell ultrastructure. However, increases in dose were accompanied by a greater predominance of rough endoplasmic reticulum and inclusions and aggregation of microfilament bundles. As seen by scanning electron microscopy, cytochalasin B caused the withdrawal of peripheral cell borders, disappearance of ruffles and the breakdown of cytoplasmic lamellae. Charateristic surface blebs and folds appeared in their place. By comparison, colchicine (1–10 μg/ml) caused a less marked and non-specific reversible reduction in cell motility on both glial and mesenchymal cells. No significant change in cell adhesion or spreading took place even at high doses, although at all concentrations gross disruption of the cell surface took place with changes in ultrastructure characterised by loss of cytoplasmic microtubules and aggregation of 10 nm filaments.

    Notizen: Summary Electron microscopic analysis of primary cultures derived from larvalXenopus liver has shown that these cells, although they form only two-dimensional aggregates, retain and presumably also develop structural characteristics typical of liver parenchyma cells, such as bile canaliculi with microvilli and epithelial junctional complexes. As judged from structural criteria, primary cultures contain 80–90% hepatocytes. In contrast to the intact tissue, primary cultures showed excessive development of microfilaments, however. Incorporation of labeled amino acids has revealed further that the capacity for protein synthesis is maintained in culture and that synthesis of liverspecific protein albumin is maintained in vitro, even in liver cultures derived from thyrostatic tadpoles. This latter result suggests that initiation of albumin synthesis in the larval liver is probably not dependent upon thyroid hormones but rather reflects the protodifferentiated state of this tissue.

    Notizen: Summary The mantle edge of the freshwater pulmonate snailsLymnaea stagnalis andBiomphalaria pfeifferi was investigated with histochemical and ultrastructural methods. The mantle edge gland, which is involved in shell formation, consists of the periostracal groove and the belt. This belt appears to be composed of various regions. In the area of the periostracal groove a number of subepithelial gland cell types occur; these release their products into the groove. Between the groove cells ciliated free nerve endings terminate; the corresponding perikarya occur in the subepidermal connective tissue. Also in the posterior belt region free nerve endings were observed between the epithelial cells; in addition, a particular type of subepithelial gland cell was found in this area. The epithelial cells of this part of the belt have the ultrastructural characteristics of ion and water transporting cells; they are probably involved in calcium deposition and resorption. The possible role of the free nerve endings and of the subepithelial gland cells is discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract Distribution and retention of mercury and selenium was studied in rats exposed repeatedly to HgCl2 injections (0.5 mg Hg/kg to the tail vein every other day) and intragastrically to Na2SeO3 (0.5 mg Se/kg every day), applying combined and separate administration of these metals for 2 weeks. Whole-body retention of mercury in the presence of selenium was augmented by 20% and that of selenium in the presence of mercury by 4% with respect to the administered dose. Combined administration of mercuric chloride and sodium selenite brought about damage to the epithelial cells of renal proximal convolutions and formation of protein casts in their lumen. These changes had the same pattern as those induced by administration of mercuric chloride alone, but the intensity was lower. Submicroscopic studies revealed that repeated combined administration of sodium selenite and mercuric chloride did not completely abolish the mercury-induced mitochondrial swelling and contributed to chromatin destruction in the hepatocyte nuclei.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Zu den hellzelligen Speicheldrüsentumoren gehören monomorphe hellzellige Adenome, hellzellige Carcinome, hellzellige Varianten der Acinus- und Mucoepidermoidtumoren, Talgdrüsentumoren, Speichelgang-Carcinome und pleomorphe Adenome mit hellzelligen Abschnitten. Der lichtmikroskopische, deskriptive Begriff der hellen Zelle umfaßt bei einer weiteren cytochemischen und elektronenmikroskopischen Analyse Zellformen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und funktioneller Bedeutung. Folgende Zelltypen wurden näher analysiert: indifferente Gangzellen (geringe Organellenausbildung, Desmosomen), speichernde Streifenstückzellen (Glykogengranula, zahlreiche Mitochondrien, basales Labyrinth), Myoepithelzellen (Myofilamente, Pinocytose-Vesicel, Lipofuscingranula, Hemidesmosomen), epidermoide Zellen (Tonofilamente, Desmosomen), Becherzellen (Schleimvacuolen, basales endoplasmatisches Reticulum), Talgdrüsenzellen (Lipidtropfen, Mikrovilli, Desmosomen) und helle Acinuszellen (elektronenoptisch helle Sekretgranula, kleine Mitochondrien, kleiner Golgiapparat). In die Differentialdiagnose müssen auch hellzellige Tumorformen der Speicheldrüsenregion einbezogen werden, welche primär nicht vom Speicheldrüsengewebe ausgehen. Hierzu gehören Metastasen hypernephroider Nieren-Carcinome, Paragangliome, Glomustumoren Masson, Granularzelltumoren und alveoläre Weichteilsarkome.
    Notizen: Summary Clear cell tumors of the salivary glands are monomorphic clear cell adenomas, clear cell carcinomas, clear cell variants of acinic cell and mucoepidermoid tumours, sebaceous cell tumors, salivary duct carcinomas and pleomorphic adenomas with clear cell sectors. At the light microscopical level the descriptive term of the clear cell comprises cell types of different origin and functional importance which can be differentiated by cytochemistry and electron microscopy. The following cell types were analysed precisely: indifferent duct cells (small formation of organelles, desmosomes), storing striated duct cells (glycogen granules, multiple mitochondrias, basal labyrinth), myoepithelial cells (myofilaments, pinocytosis vesicles, lipofuscin granules, hemidesmosomes), goblet cells (mucous vacuoles, basal endoplasmatic reticulum), sebaceous cells (lipid droplets, microvilli, desmosomes) and clear acinic cells (electron pale secretory granules, small mitochondrias, small golgi apparatus). Clear cell tumor types of the salivary gland region which primarely do not derive from the salivary gland tissue must also be included in the differential diagnoses. These are metastases of hypernephroid renal carcinomas, paragangliomas, glomus tumors of Masson, granular cell tumor and alveolar soft-part sarcomas.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Ultrastrukturelle Zellveränderungen werden beschrieben am Original-Tumorgewebe und an Tumorzellen aus der Kurzzeitkultur von malignen Lymphomen, induziert durch chronische Diphenylhydantoin-Exposition. Diese Tumoren entstanden in Mäuse-Inzuchtlinien mit niedriger (C57Bl) und hoher (SJL/J) spontaner Lymphomrate im fortgeschrittenen Alter, waren jedoch nicht induzierbar in einer Lymphom-resistenten Linie (C3Hf). Frühveränderungen des lymphoretikulären Gewebes bestanden in einer zunehmenden Atrophie des Thymus und der thymusabhängigen Partien, begleitet von einer diffusen retikulo-histiozytären Hyperplasie. Lymphome vom lymphoblastischen Typ entstanden im Thymus nach einer Latenzzeit von 4–8 Monaten mit nachfolgender Generalisation. Verschiedene atypische Veränderungen wurden an Tumorzellen beobachtet sowie das Auftreten von C-Typ-Partikeln in den Tumorzellkulturen und hinsichtlich der Pathogenese der Lymphome diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary Ultrastructural studies were done on cells from original tumors and from short time cultures of mouse thymic lymphomas experimentally induced by chronic exposure to diphenyl-hydantoin. The tumors appeared in mouse strains with low (C57Bl) and high (SJL/J) susceptibility to spontaneous lymphoma development and were not observed in a resistant strain (C3Hf). Thymic lymphoma development was usually preceded by increasing lymphoreticular atrophy followed by progressive reticulohistiocytic hyperplasia, and subsequently spread to other tissues. Morphologically the tumor was characterized as a lymphoblastic lymphoma. Abnormal cell changes in the original tumors and cultured cells, and the presence of murine C-type particles in the cultured cells but not in the original tumors, are discused in relation with the disturbance of immune system and the lymphoma enhancement produced by diphenyl-hydantoin.

    Notizen: Abstract The photosynthetic bacterium,Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, can be grown phototrophically (light, anaerobiosis), of chemotrophically (dark, aerobiosis). In the first case, it contains intracytoplasmic membranes with photosynthetic pigments. When shifted from phototrophy to chemotrophy these membranes disappear in an unknown fashion. In the present experiment, samples were taken for electron microscopy, cell density and bacteriochlorophyll determinations after shift from phototrophy to chemotrophy. The density of intracytoplasmic vesicles was measured on micrographs. During the first 2h growth is very slow and the ultrastructure remains unaltered. As growth resumes, the vesicles disappear at a rate which implies that they are not incorportated into the cytoplasmic membrane, nor actively digested, but remain intact and become increasingly diluted in the cytoplasm as the culture grows. The size of the vesicles was estimated to about 500 Å. The number of vesicles in phototrophically grown cells was calculated to about 575 per cell, and after 6h chemotrophic growth to about 100. The areas of the cytoplasmic and intracytoplasmic membranes are roughly calculated.

    Notizen: Abstract The mode of spore differentiation in a strain of Streptomyces melanochromogenes was followed by analysis of ultrathin sections of sporulating aerial hyphae at various stages of sporogenesis. A special accent was laid on the formation of the sporulation septum and its alterations in the course of spore delimitation and separation. Distinct differences in formation and substructure have been observed between the cross walls of vegetative hyphae and the sporulation septa. Cross walls of vegetative hyphae are formed in a way typical for Gram-positive bacteria by a centripetal annular ingrowth of cytoplasmic membrane, on which wall material immediately is deposited. The development of the sporulation septa is characterized by the accumulation of amorphous material in addition to the newly synthesized wall layer inside the invaginating cytoplasmic membrane. This amorphous septal material will later be decomposed presumably by two lytic systems which cause the separation of the spores. The central region of the finished sporulation septum is perforated by microplasmodesmata. Spores are released by a break down of the surface sheath. The complete spores are enveloped by a twolayered cell wall and the spiny surface sheath.

    Notizen: Abstract Heat-shock of macroconidia of Neurospora crassa at 46°C followed by shift-down to 25°C determines premature conidiogenesis. The nuclei and cytoplasm of heat-treated, swollen conidia contain spots of a dense material especially concentrated around the nucleolus in short time treated ones. In the first proconidium apically budding on the enlarged tip of the premature conidiophore, small vesicles are peripherally spread. A few such vesicles are later seen lining the initially simple septum separating the proconidial units into conidia. The doubling of this interconidial septum is surface viewn as a thick annulus. Disarticulation of the conidial units intervenes along a septal furrow of electroluscent material. Interconidial continuity through the septal pores is transiently insured by a connective which is ruptured for final liberation of the conidia.

The confusion in nomenclature of these tumors is discussed and reasons for a preference for the term “pilocytic astrocytomas” are given. Further, pilocytic astrocytes seem to be a special, phylogenetically older, group of glial cells.

    Immunhistochemical and electron microscope analysis of adenomas of the thyroid gland (1978)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Histological, immunhistochemical and electronmicroscopic studies of 12 human, scintigraphically “cold”, thyroid adenomas with specific cytological differentiation identified four different cell types: oxiphil cell, clear cell, ergastoplasm-rich cell and mitochondrion-rich cell. The oxiphil tumor cell can be recognized light-microscopically by its large size and its eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. Most of these cells do not produce thyroglobulin. The ultrastructural characteristics of oxyphil cells are principally mitochondria in great numbers and many large lysosomes. Clear cell adenomas show a trabecular growth pattern. The tumor cells have an abundance of cytoplasm which contains small acidophilic granules. Immunhistochemically we were able to demonstrate thyroglobulin in small amounts within cytoplasmic granules and more extensively within the follicle lumina. Electronmicroscopically we observed a large number of smooth surfaced vacuoles of varying size, extraordinary large lysosomes and occasional cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum, the latter probably corresponding to the immune-histochemically identified thyroglobulin granules. The ergastoplasm-rich-cell adenomas, which to the best of our knowledge have not been previously described, show a predominantly micro-to normofollicular architecture histologically without intrafollicular colloid. The cytoplasm of the ergastoplasm-rich cells reveales a strong positive thyroglobulin-staining reaction. The fine structure of these cells is characterized by the abundance of cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The mitochondrion-rich-cell adenomas exhibited a microfollicular structure with an intensive acidophilic granular staining at the basal part of the tumor cells. Immunhistochemically and electronmicroscopically we found some morphologic and functional features which differentiate these cells from the oxyphil cell. Thyroglobulin was located predominantly in the apical portion of the cytoplasm in the mitochondrion-rich cells without sharp demarcation from the luminar thyroglobulin. Electron microscopically fewer basal and laterally located mitochondria were seen in mitochondrion-rich cells compared with oxyphil cells. As we could not find any sign of functional activity in the oxyphilic, clear cell and ergastoplasm-rich cell adenomas we analysed those aspects of the lysosomal system not concerned with the enzymatic digestion of thyroglobulin.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology of tight junctions of the renal proximal tubule was studied comparing the pars convoluta and pars recta of rat, golden hamster, rabbit, cat, dog and tupaia. Though some interspecies variations were observed, the convoluted portions of the proximal tubules revealed quite uniformly very leaky tight junctions with mainly 1–2 strands. Along the whole proximal tubule of the rabbit kidney including the pars recta only minor differences of the zonulae occludentes were found. By contrast, the tight junctions of the pars recta in other species were much more elaborate, especially in cat and tupaia, having up to 6 strands and an overall depth of more than 150 nm. The implications of these findings are discussed with special regard to the functional differences between the pars convoluta and pars recta of the proximal tubule.

    Notizen: Summary Exocrine pancreatic tissue was investigated during various intervals after pancreatic duct ligation. Concomitant to the increase of the intraluminal pressure, alterations are found in the arrangement of the luminal membrane surface and the zonulae occludentes of the acinar cells. The zonulae occludentes exhibit a disarrangement of their strands. The number of strands diminishes and small interruptions as well as large discontinuities of the strands are observed in most regions of the acinar cells. Furthermore, gap junctions are found very infrequently between acinar cells. The ultrastructural alterations of the zonulae occludentes suggest a gradual adaptation to the increasing unilateral pressure. However, a leakage of the paracellular permeability barrier occurs which contributes to the known shunt between the compartments of the pancreatic juice and the interstitial space following pancreatic duct obstruction. The present investigation is a further example of alterations in the paracellular permeability and intercellular communication of epithelial cells under pathological conditions.

    Notizen: Summary The anterolateral eye, the posterolateral eye and the posteromedial eye of the web-building spider, Argiope amoena have been examined by light and electron microscopy. The dioptric apparatus of all three eyes is similar in structure, and consists of a cornea, a lens and a vitreous body. The retina contains monopolar receptor cells, the cell bodies of which are present beneath the vitreous body in all three eyes. Proximal processes of the receptor cells form rhabdoms beneath the cell body layer and then extend toward the first optic glomerulus as an ocellar nerve. Two distinct patterns of retinal organization are present in the three eyes. In one type the rhabdomic layer of the retina is backed by a pigmented layer. In the other type the rhabdomic layer is backed by a tapetal reflecting layer. Rhabdomic structure and cytoplasmic inclusions of the receptor cells differ greatly between the two types. The anterolateral eye possesses a single type of retina with the rhabdoms backed by the tapetum. Both the posterolateral and the posteromedial eye are similar in structure, each possessing beneath the common dioptric apparatus retinae of both types.

    Notizen: Summary The structure of the subfornical organ (SFO) of the Japanese quail has been studied by light and electron microscopy. The SFO is a small semiglobular bulge in the midline on the rostrodorsal wall of the third ventricle between the anterior commissure and tela choroidea. The organ consists of three main parts, anterior stalk, the corpus and the posterior stalk. The anterior stalk is covered by ependymal cells with a few cilia, but the corpus and posterior stalk are characterized by a distinctive lack of cilia and by flat or bulging cell surfaces, which have the appearance of cobble stones. The large bulbous protrusions in the ependymal surface of the posterior stalk suggest a secretory function into the ventricle. In the subependymal layer, there are a few parvocellular neurons that contain small mitochondria, moderately developed Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, dilated cisternae of rER and a few dense-cored granules of 100–120 nm in diameter. They appear to be secretory in nature. Two types of glial cells occur in the subependymal and internal layers. One is small and spindle-shaped with a dense nucleus and elongated cytoplasmic processes; it may be microglial. The other is a small polygonal cell with rounded nucleus and clear cytoplasm containing bundles of filaments; it may be a protoplasmic astrocyte. The neuropil contains three types of axons. The first contains dense-cored granules, 80 nm in diameter, and clear vesicles, 40–60 nm in diameter and is involved in axosomatic synapses. The second type contains dense granules, 120 nm in diameter, and clear vesicles, 40–80 nm in diameter, and shows axodendritic synapses. The third contains peptidergic granules about 100–120 nm in diameter and seems to belong to the organ-specific nerve cells. These axons terminate at the perivascular space of the blood capillaries, suggesting secretion into the blood.

    Notizen: Summary Previous studies have demonstrated that astrocyte processes are responsible for a spontaneously occurring phagocytosis of boutons on cat spinal motoneurons during the second postnatal week. In the present investigation, the astrocytes and the astrocyte processes in contact with the motoneurons were studied qualitatively and quantitatively during the early postnatal period. It could be concluded that the cells responsible for the phagocytosis of boutons are immature astrocytes. These cells were present not only during the period of phagocytosis but also prior to this period. The type of process responsible for the phagocytosis was present not only during the period of phagocytosis but also prior to and after that period although the relative contribution of such processes to the glia-covered membrane area of the motoneurons was reduced in the older animals. On the basis of these results, the possible specificity of the immature astrocyte as the element responsible for the phagocytosis of boutons during normal development is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Two kinds of occluding junctions are found between ileal epithelial cells of suckling rats: apical zonulae occludentes (ZO) and fasciae occludentes (FO) which are associated with the lateral plasma membranes of many epithelial cells. In unfixed preparations, glycerol treatment induces the further proliferation of extensive fasciae occludentes. Both kinds of junction have identical structural elements when visualized in freeze fracture replicas, although the arrangement of these elements differs. Zonulae occludentes consist of networks of branching and anastomosing linear ridges or rows of ∼10 nm particles with 20–30 nm spaces between the rows which form narrow belt-like structures around the apical region of adjacent cells. Fasciae occludentes, on the other hand, consist of similar linear ridges or rows of particles but the junction strands are often discontinuous, open ended and only occasionally intersect with each other. Several different fracture planes through the plasma membrane in the region of the occluding junctions have been observed and these provide further evidence that two components, one from each membrane, fused at the level of the extracellular space, form the junction sealing element. Furthermore, we present evidence which indicates a staggered rather than an in-register arrangement of these two components.

    Notizen: Summary Neural lobes from rats subjected to neurohypophysial hormone-releasing stimuli were examined electron microscopically following fixation in 4 % tannic acid in 2.5 % glutaraldehyde. This fixation allowed the delineation of the perivascular space in the neural lobe tissue. Measurement of the area of the perivascular space showed that it was significantly increased in the rats subjected to vagal stimulation and intraarterial calcium ions compared to the control rats. The rats which had been subjected to haemorrhage as a hormonereleasing stimulus did not show any significant change in the area of the perivascular space. The significance of these findings in relation to hormone release is discussed.

Special attention was paid to the interdigitating cells (IDC) in the paracortex and the dendritic reticulum cells (DRC) in the germinal centre. Different types of macrophage predominate in the three different phases of the immune response. In the induction phase exudate macrophages predominate. They transform their morphology depending on the micro-environment in which they settle. These cells may contain Birbeck granules. Our experiments suggest, that these granules are immunologically specific organelles, associated with the induction of a primary humoral response. In the proliferation phase transitional cells between newly arrived macrophages and IDC predominate in the paracortex and the number of IDC decreases. In the memory phase IDC repopulate this thymus dependent area, indicating that the characteristic morphology of these cells results from the immune response in the T cell environment. The DRC are specifically related to the germinal centre, the morphological transformation of this peculiar reticulum cell occurs under the influence of the germinal centre reaction. The germinal centre reaction originates by tingible body macrophages (TBM).

    Notizen: Summary The esophageal epithelium of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, was studied by light and electron microscopy. In freshwater-adapted eels, longitudinal folds of the mucosal surface are simple in form and lined by a stratified epithelium composed of mucous cells, filament and ribosome-rich cells. Mucous cells are numerous. The filament-rich cells form the outermost and the basal layers of the stratified epithelium and are scattered in the middle zone among the mucous cells. They are firmly bound to one another by many desmosomes and prominent interdigitations of plasma membrane. The distal free surface of the filament-rich cell has a fingerprint-like pattern of microridges. A small number of columnar cells occur at the apices of the folds. They are rich in mitochondria and their distal surfaces bear short microvilli. In seawater-adapted eels, irregularly meandering folds increase the surface area of the mucosa. The stratified epithelium is extensively replaced by a simple columnar epithelium free of mucous cells. The columnar cells resemble in many respects those found in freshwater-adapted eels. They are rich in mitochondria and their distal free surface were provided with short microvilli. However, prominent lateral intercellular spaces and elaborate interdigitations of cytoplasmic processes in the distal zone distinguish the former from the latter. Results are considered in connection with the changes in ion and water permeability of the epithelium after seawater adaptation.

    Notizen: Summary The capillaries in the atrioventricular node and atrioventricular bundle of the heart (mammals) were investigated by thin sections and freezeetch replicas. Fenestrated endothelial cells were found to occur in all mammals examined in this study. These fenestrations (500±50 Å diameter) are bridged by a diaphragm and occur in relatively small sieve areas. In contrast to the AV-node and AV-bundle, the non-specialized myocardium is supplied by continuous capillaries. The presence of the fenestrated capillary in the conduction system of the heart may serve to increase both permeability and passive transport capacity.

    Notizen: Summary The reported work is the first direct ultrastructural comparison of resident peritoneal macrophages from germ-free and conventional animals. Three groups of mice were studied: germ-free (GF), conventionally-reared under isolation conditions (IC), and conventionally-reared in an open environment (OC). The macrophages from the three groups of animals are closely similar morphologically. Particularly noteworthy are the electron-dense, lysosome-like granules which are numerous in the macrophages of germfree mice and which provide a structural foundation for the presumed microbicidal capability of the phagocytes. Morphometric estimates showed that the “average macrophage” from GF mice is smaller and possesses a smaller, rounder nucleus, a smaller volume fraction of mitochondria and more lysosome-like granules per unit of cytoplasmic volume than the “average macrophage” from conventional mice. Moreover, granules and mitochondria are smaller, on average, in the GF phagocytes than in macrophages from conventional mice. The results suggest that peritoneal macrophages from the germ-free mouse represent, more truly than those from the conventional mouse, the nature of the fully differentiated but as yet unstimulated mononuclear phagocyte.

    Notizen: Summary This study concerns the influence of reserpine on the fine structure of peptidergic neurosecretory cells in the pars intercerebralis of Galleria mellonella, and of neurons containing smaller dense-cored vesicles (presumed to be aminergic) localized in the same area of the brain. The drug, administered in doses of 125 μm and 250 μg per g of insect body weight, reduces both the amount and the electron opacity of the dense-cored vesicles with a diameter of 60–80 nm in the neuronal perikarya as well as their terminals. Simultaneously, this treatment evokes an abnormal accumulation of secretory granules within the perikarya of peptidergic neurosecretory cells belonging to three types. This accumulation of secretory material is followed by some changes in the fine structure of these cells. One (fourth) type of neurosecretory cells seems to be insensitive to reserpine action. Participation of the aminergic system in the regulation of the secretory activity of some populations of peptidergic neurosecretory neurons of the insect brain is postulated.

    Notizen: Summary The pars distalis of parturient harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) is divisible into three distinct zones based on the major cellular components of the different regions. A clear zonation is lacking in neonate seals, the medial “basophilic wedge” and the anterior gonadotrophic were small and difficult to identify. Five cell types were identified based on cytological characteristics: somatotrophs, mammotrophs, thyrotrophs, gonadotrophs and stellate cells; corticotrophs could not be identified, with any certainty, in any of the preparations, nor could the gonadotrophs be classified into LH, FSH, and ICSH cells. The pars intermedia enlarged during the early post-partum period and was large in the parturient females.

    Notizen: Summary The distribution of lanthanum chloride and horseradish peroxidase within the full-term chorioallantoic placenta of the rat was investigated 1 to 20 min after administration of these tracers into the maternal blood circulation. Both tracers rapidly penetrate trophoblastic layer I and diffuse into the interspace between layers I and II. They are localized in extensive infoldings and caveolae of the outer surface of layer II. The syncytial character of layer II is confirmed at this developmental stage of the placenta. There is no vesicular uptake or penetration beyond layer II until 20 min after tracer administration. Our results indicate that trophoblastic layer II is the main barrier in the chorioallantoic rat placenta preventing the permeation of macromolecules from maternal to fetal compartments. With freeze-fracturing, particulate structures of variable arrangement and size are found between adjacent cells of layer I. With goniometric analysis small gaps between the appositions of the membrane are observed. These structures are interpreted as tight and/or gap junctions during stages of assembly or disassembly.

    Notizen: Summary The distribution of horseradish peroxidase and lanthanum chloride within the full term chorioallantoic placenta of the rat was examined after administration of these tracers into the umbilical artery. Both tracers rapidly traverse the capillary endothelium. Transendothelial channels, fenestrations and micropinocytotic vesicles provide the main pathways. Intercellular clefts which are either patent or interrupted by leaky intercellular junctions, also contribute to a rapid passage of low and high molecular weight substances. Deep channel-like invaginations, effecting an increase of the exchange area of layer III, are freely accessible to the tracers from the interspace between the capillary endothelium and trophoblastic layer III. The invaginations, however, are not in continuity with the interspace between layers II and III, verifying the syncytial character of layer III. Neither an uptake of the tracers nor a passage across layer III is observed. The main permeability barrier to feto-maternal transfer within the chorioallantoic placenta is localized in the syncytiotrophoblastic layer III. This layer controls the passage of low molecular weight substances and restricts the penetration of high molecular weight substances.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of the neural lobe of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis, was studied after fixation in a threefold aldehyde solution. The neural lobe appeared as narrow vertical diverticula separated from one another and from the pars intermedia by a continuous vascular septum. No nerves passed through this septum. The ependymal, fibrous and external layers were readily recognized. Peptidergic fibres were the main component of the fibrous layer. The peptidergic endings were in intimate contact with the ependymal cells, suggesting that the ependyma mediates the release of neural lobe peptides. The external layer contained ependymal end-feet and numerous aminergic terminals, ending directly on the perivascular basal lamina and/or on the ependymal end-feet. The functional aspects are discussed in terms of intermediate lobe control. The findings suggest that aminergic substances take part in the control of the intermedia, but do not exclude the involvement of peptide hormones.

    Notizen: Summary The female zebrafish is capable of producing mature eggs on the fifth day of each reproductive cycle. During this five-day period the ultrastructure of hepatocytes undergoes several changes. The number of nuclear pores increases rapidly during spawning, followed by a proliferation of RER within 24 h. Two days after spawning, glycogen has disappeared and the liver contains large amounts of lipids. The lipid droplets are closely surrounded by elongated mitochondria. Golgi complexes are abundant, secreting dense bodies. Four days after spawning the hepatocytes tend to regain their pre-spawning appearance. It is suggested that the changes in the hepatocytes, which coincide with special phases of ovarian activity, are related to vitellogenin synthesis. Steroids, especially estradiol-17β, may trigger this process in the liver.

    Notizen: Summary The larval integument of the midge, Chironomus riparius Mg., is unusually thin although it conforms with the normal insect pattern. The cuticle of the post-cephalic segments is about 3 μm thick and overlies an epidermis which has an irregular basal plasma membrane resulting in spaces occurring between it and the basement membrane. The ventral tubuli have a similar epidermis but the cuticle is somewhat thinner. The anal papillae have the thinnest cuticular covering with a uniquely folded epicuticle of variable thickness, and their epidermis has the characteristics of a transporting epithelium. No evidence of pore canals could be found in the cuticle of any part except the head capsule which has a remarkably smooth epicuticle and a distinct layer which may represent the exocuticle. There are no spaces between the basement membrane and basal plasma membrane of the epidermis in the head. Ultrastructural evidence would suggest that gaseous exchange can occur across most of the post-cephalic integument.

    Notizen: Summary 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OH-DA) has been shown to produce degenerative changes in noradrenergic nerve terminals and preterminals in the CNS following intracisternal, intraventricular or direct injection into the brain parenchyma. Systemic injection of 6-OH-DA is known to result in degenerative changes in noradrenergic terminals in the peripheral nervous system. However, only a few studies have been carried out on the effects of systemic injections of 6 OH-DA on noradrenergic terminals in the CNS. In the present study cynomolgus and squirrel monkeys were injected intravenously on two successive days with total doses of 350mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of 6-OH-DA, respectively, and sacrificed at 2 and 24 h following the second injection. Degenerative changes in the area postrema (AP) neurons in all injected animals were characterized by a generalized increase in electron density of cytoplasmic elements in axonal terminals and preterminals. Multilamellar bodies, clusters of clear and dense core vesicles, increased numbers of secondary lysosomes, and an increase in the number of glycogen granules were observed in these structures. In astrocytes the amount of glycogen increased markedly in injected animals, but no other glial alterations were observed. The number of mast cells in the AP was greater in injected than in noninjected animals, both in the perivascular spaces (PVS) and in parenchymal locations. Cell processes in the PVS were occasionally observed to contain electron dense bodies, and degenerative changes were seen in supraependymal processes in some injected animals.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé Le tissu dentinaire d'Anarhichas lupus s'est révélé être une ostéodentine vasculaire. Les études en MET, MEB et diffraction X montrent l'hétérogénéité de ce tissu. L'aspect désordonné des fibres de collagène, incomplètement minéralisées (leur striation est encore bien visible), explique la complexité de la répartition des cristaux puisqu' elles en déterminent l'ordonnance. La minéralisation imparfaite du tissu, dont témoignait déjà la striation visible du collagène, est confirmée par l'analyse des poudres en diffraction X (la cristallinité de l'ostéodentine vasculaire est nettement inférieure à celle de la couche de tissu dentaire périphérique) et par l'examen en MET de haute résolution, aucun réseau cristallin n'ayant pu être mis en évidence. L'ostéodentine, l'os basal et l'os profond ont en commun une phase minérale, avec une organisation plus ou moins bonne, différente du système des apatites.
    Notizen: Summary TEM, SEM and X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrate the heterogeneity of the dentinal tissue of Anarhichas lupus, a vascular osteodentine. The disordered aspect of collagen fibres, incompletely mineralized (the periodical striation being still visible), explains the scattered distribution of crystallites since they are responsible for their arrangement. The low degree of mineralization revealed by the visible collagen striation is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (the crystallinity of vascular osteodentine being much lower than that of the peripheral dental tissue) as well as by high resolution TEM, since no lattice planes could be observed. Osteodentine, supporting bone and proper bone have in common a mineral phase, more or less organized, different from the apatite system.

    Notizen: Summary The intestinal absorptive epithelium of starved and fed fish has been studied electron microscopically. After feeding, cells of the proximal segment of the intestine show morphological characteristics of lipid absorption. Absorptive cells in the middle segment contain many pinocytotic vesicles in both fasted and fed specimens. Absorption of protein macromolecules is supposed to be one of the main functions of this part of the gut. In the most caudal part of the intestine, absorptive cells carry relatively few and short microvilli. The proximal and distal segments show structural indications of a function in osmoregulation. The renewal of the epithelium has been studied with light microscopic autoradiography, using tritiated thymidine. The intestinal mucosal fold epithelium represents a cell renewal system. The cells proliferate at the base of the fold and migrate towards the apex in 10–15 days at 20° C. The functional absorptive cells proved to be generally present in the intestinal epithelium, including the proliferative area. Undifferentiated cells have not been identified. The results will be compared with data on absorption of lipid and protein macromolecules in teleostean and mammalian intestines and with descriptions of the cell renewal system in the mammalian intestine.
