小儿特发性血小板减少性紫癜发病机制的研究

本文采用体外建立抗原—抗体—补体反应体系的试验方法,通过测定该反应体系的血小板~(51)Cr 释放量来进一步探讨特发性血小板减少紫癜(ITP)患儿血小板的破坏机制。结果45例ITP 惠儿其血小板~(51)Cr 释放量与正常值比较明显增高(P<0.01),急慢性之问无显著差异性。45例患儿中有31例血小板~(51)Cr释放量高出正常值上限。同时观察ITP 患儿血清对血小板超微形态和结构的影响,发现血小板表面有圆钝伪足形成,血小板聚集,血小板脱颗粒和空泡性变。正常儿血清对血小板超微形态和结构无明显影响。作者认为,ITP 患儿的血小板相关抗体,能介导血管内血小板的溶解与破坏,其既影响血小板数量,又改变血小板的结构,二者都是导致该病出血的重要原因。     

Innervation of the zona fasciculata of the adult human adrenal cortex: a light and electron microscopic study

Summary Autonomic innervation of the adrenal cortex has been demonstrated in several species. Detailed ultrastructural studies on the innervation of the zona fasciculata of the normal human adrenal cortex are lacking. We report herein our observations on the pattern of innervation of the cells of the zona fasciculata of the normal adult human cortex at both the light and electron microscope levels. Postganglionic unmyelinated fibers were observed to descend from a dense capsular meshwork and to be distributed as delicate branches among the columns of endocrine cells. Immunoperoxidase staining confirmed the presence of nerve fibers in the zona fasciculata in a distribution similar to that observed after staining with silver impregnation methods. Ultrastructural findings lent further support to these observations by the demonstration of bundles of unmyelinated fibers with focal enlargements containing terminal boutons with both clear and dense core vesicles in close approximation with the endocrine cells.

Scanning Electron Microscopic Observations on the Epithelium of the Human Prostatic Urethra

The human prostatic urethra has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy. On the posterior wall of the urethra, the seminal colliculus with the orifices of the ejaculatory ducts is clearly detectable. The upper portion of the prostatic urethra shows a typical transitional epithelium with large superficial cells of a ruffled appearance. In the lower portion of the organ (underneath the openings of the ejaculatory ducts), the apical pattern of the cells varies considerably. Four main aspects are recognizable: apices provided with microvilli, dome-shaped apices with an almost smooth surface, large apices with labyrinthic microplicae and ciliated apices. Also, apices showing intermediate characteristics can be noted. The functional significance of the morphological patterns as well as the possibility of a transition among the various types of surface structures are discussed.     

Immunohistochemical and immunoelectron microscopical characterization of cerebrovascular and senile plaque amyloid in aged dogs'' brains

Immunohistochemical and immunoelectron microscopical studies were carried out on 28 aged dogs' brains. Amyloid deposits were seen in the arteries and capillaries in the leptomeninges and in superficial areas of the cortices in 19 (67.9%) of the 28 dogs (10-22 years of age). Immunohistochemically, these amyloid deposits were reactive for anti-beta/A4 antibody. Additionally, a variable number of parenchymal deposits with diffuse beta/A4-immunoreactivity (diffuse plaques) was also noted throughout the cerebral cortex in 24/28 dogs (85.7%). However, these plaque lesions were undetectable in Congo red staining. Electron microscopically, amyloid fibrils, measuring 10 nm in width, were located mainly in the tunica media of the arteries, and in less involved vessels they tended to be present among collagen fibres in the adventitia and smooth muscle cells in the outer layer of the media. The plaque lesions appeared to contain sparse aggregations of amyloid fibrils. In immunoelectron microscopical examinations, all amyloid fibrils in both blood vessels and plaques were selectively labelled by gold particles. These findings indicate that aged dogs can provide a useful experimental model for research into the beta/A4-type of cerebral amyloidosis commonly seen in Alzheimer's disease.     

Myelination of the corpus callosum in the cat: time course, topography, and functional implications

The parameters of myelin development were ascertained in two specific regions of the corpus callosum in a series of cats aged 12 postnatal days through adult. The posteriormost portion of the splenium and the anterior-most portion of the genu were examined in cross section by using the electron microscope. Measurements were made to determine the age at which myelin first appeared, the number and distribution of myelinated fibers, the number and distribution of myelin lamellae, and cross-sectional area of ensheathed axons during development. The results indicate that myelination begins and ends earlier in the anterior region of the callosum. Measurements of myelin lamellae indicate similarities between anterior and posterior regions of the callosum, although development occurs earlier in the genu than in the splenium. No evidence was found for a sequence in the size of axons acquiring myelin sheaths, except that extremely small fibers are the last to begin myelinating. Myelination of the splenium of the corpus callosum begins at the very end of the behavioral and physiological critical period for the corpus callosum's role in visual functional development (Elberger: Behav. Brain Res. 11:223-231, '84; Elberger and Smith: Exp. Brain Res. 57:213-223, '85). Since myelination of a pathway is used as an index of functional reliability, this indicates that the basis for the callosal role in developing visual functions is probably not based on its physiological input to visual cortex.

本文用扫描电镜观察了6.25Gy全身照射后大鼠外周血红细胞表面形态的变化。于照前和照后l、3、7、14和30天取材,在2000倍率下各观察200个细胞,并算出正常和异形细胞的百分数。正常红细胞的形态是光滑的、双面凹的圆盘形,其直径3.3～5.2μ,照射前正常红细胞占总数98.15%(96.0～99.0%),异形红细胞很少。其中包括单嵴样红细胞,隆突形红细胞、球口形红细胞以及棘状红细胞等。照后1和3天,异形红细胞数明显增多,正常形态红细胞的百分数从照前的88.15分别降到96.55和93.45(P<0.05和P<0.001)。照后7天,正常形态红细胞的百分数又接近照前水平。     

Evidence for motility and pinocytosis in ramified microglia in tissue culture

Ramified microglial cells were investigated in primary cultures of dissociated cerebral cortical tissue from rats. The identification of these cells was confirmed through immunohistochemical staining with 7 monoclonal antibodies selective for microglia. While there was significant variation in staining intensity with different antibodies, all stained the identified ramified cells; the antibodies OX-42 and ED1 yielded the most intense immunoreactivity. Based on distinctive morphological features, the microglia could be identified in living cultures where they were monitored using time-lapse video recording. This technique revealed extremely dynamic features of cellular plasticity and motility. Ramified microglia exhibited constant and rapid alterations in the size and shape of their cell body with an associated extension and retraction of processes; concomitantly, the cells moved about in a circumscribed area. These features of plasticity and motility were unique to this cell type, and correlated with OX-42 immunostaining. The microglia also possessed a differentially high level of pinocytotic activity; this too was correlated with OX-42 staining. From the nature of their morphological plasticity and motility, high pinocytosis, and cellular distribution, it is hypothesized that the ramified microglia specifically function as a system of fluid cleansing in normal brain tissue.
