Bovine cumulus-oocyte disconnection in vitro

Summary Cumulus-oocyte complexes were obtained from cows by aspiration of small (1–6 mm in diameter) antral follicles after slaughter. Complexes with a compact multilayered cumulus investment were cultured and processed for transmission electron microscopy after different periods of culture including a 0 h control group. In 0 h control oocytes the cumulus cells had numerous projections which penetrated the zona pellucida and established gap junctions with the oolemma. A partial loss of these junctions was noticed as an early event of oocyte maturation occurring within the first 3 h of culture. A low frequency of gap junctions was maintained until 12–18 h of culture where the junctional contact was completely disrupted. This decrease in intercellular communication was parallelled by resumption of oocyte meiosis.     

平阳霉素对HeLa细胞的大分子生物合成及超微结构的影响

作者用同位数前体参入法及透射与扫描电镜研究了平阳霉素(博莱霉素A_5)对HeLa细胞大分子生物合成及超微结构的影响。结果显示:平阳霉素能抑制HeLa细胞DNA,RNA和蛋白质的生物合成,对DNA的抑制作用强,ID_(50DNA)为42.77μg/ml。表现为:染色质减少,核内电子密度低,核仁分离及“核仁帽”形成,细胞表面微绒毛消失或变形,最终导致质膜破裂等。作者认为,细胞膜是否为此类药物作用的靶位值得进一步研究。     

人类肝硬化组织中卵圆细胞形态与数量的研究

目的观察乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒相关肝硬化组织中卵圆细胞数量与形态的异同.方法对38例乙型肝炎病毒相关肝硬化和15例丙型肝炎病毒相关肝硬化组织进行组织学观察及免疫组化染色.对其中5例标本进行透射电镜观察.以5例正常肝脏作对照.结果两组标本在光镜和电镜下均可观察到形态较相似的卵圆细胞.免疫组化及透射电镜显示,这些细胞具有双向分化的潜能.在两组标本中,卵圆细胞数量没有统计学差异（P=0.810）.正常肝组织未见类似细胞.结论人类乙型肝炎病毒相关和丙型肝炎病毒相关肝硬化组织中均存在卵圆细胞,这种细胞是具有双向分化能力的前体细胞.它们与不同病因肝硬化的发生与发展均有密切关系.     

Aspiration biopsy cytology of mammary myoepithelioma

A case of ultrastructurally confirmed myoepithelioma of the breast studied by fine-needle aspiration biopsy is reported. Aspirated tumor cells were spindle-shaped with well-defined cytoplasm and oval nuclei showing no remarkable nuclear pleomorphism. They were seen mainly in irregular bundles with strong cellular cohesiveness. Their cytoplasm contained S-100 protein demonstrated by the peroxidase antiperoxidase staining technique.     

口腔粘膜恶性黑色素瘤的超微结构

目的：探讨口腔粘膜恶性黑色素瘤超微结构特征及其对诊断的意义。方法：对５例肿瘤的手术标本，采用透射电镜技术进行研究。结果：瘤细胞表面有丰富的微绒毛样突起，细胞间连接很少见。胞质内可见特征性的黑色素小体。胞核不规则，核仁大且数目多。结论：电镜观察有助于判断口腔恶性黑色素瘤的恶性程度及淋巴结转移。

Early organization of the pituitary gland in Sparus aurata L. (Teleostei) An ultrastructural study

The cell organization of the pituitary gland and the relationship between neurohypophysis and adenohypophysis in the early developmental stages of the gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata, were studied by electron microscopy. In newly hatched larvae, the pituitary gland was embedded in the ventral floor of the diencephalon and separated from the hypothalamus by a continuous basal lamina. Elongated mesenchymal cells next to the ventral surface were observed. At this stage, there was no neurohypophysis and the adenohypophysis consisted of undifferentiated endocrine cells with small scarce secretory granules and a few stellate cells, with no distinctive zonation. An incipient neurohypophysis was present in 1-day-old larvae. The first evagination of the neurohypophysis into the adenohypophysis were observed in 2-day-old larvae and developed progressively with age, being deeper in the caudal zone. Two regions in the adenohypophysis, one anterior — the presumptive pars distalis — and one posterior — the presumptive pars intermedia — were found in 2-day-old larvae. Three regions (rostral and proximal pars distalis and pars intermedia) were clearly distinguishable in 4-day-old larvae. The ultrastructural features of the pituitary endocrine cells varied during gland differentiation, with the secretory granules gradually increasing in number and size, accompanying organelle development. Nevertheless, even in the oldest larvae studied (65 days), undifferentiated cells similar to those in the earliest stages were observed. The first blood vessels appeared in the neurohypophysis around 16 days after hatching. During early development, the pituitary gland progressively emerged from the ventral floor of the brain. By 16 days, the principal pattern of the pituitary gland architecture appeared to be established.
