Longitudinal Fiber

Dupuytren's Contracture is a nodular proliferation of the longitudinal fiber bundles of palmar fascia with its attendant contraction. The factors attributed to its etiology have included trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, arthritis, and auto-immune disease. The tissue has been observed by electron microscopy and found to contain myofibroblasts.Dupuytren's Contracture constitutes a scar, and as such, excessive collagen can be observed, along with an active form of fibroblast.Previous studies of the hypertrophic scar have led us to propose that integral in the initiation and sustenance of scar tissue is a profusion of microvascular regeneration, much of which becomes and remains occluded producing a hypoxia which stimulates fibroblast synthesis. Thus, when considering a study of Dupuytren's Contracture, we predicted finding occluded microvessels at or near the fascial scarring focus.Three cases of Dupuytren's Contracture yielded similar specimens, which were fixed in Karnovskys fluid for 2 to 20 days. Upon removal of the contracture bands care was taken to include the contiguous fatty and areolar tissue which contain the vascular supply and to identify the junctional area between old and new fascia.

Root Fiber

The ultrastructure of the normal oral apparatus of Stentor has not been extensively studied. I report here on the ultrastructure of the buccal cavity of Stentor coeruleus.Stentor coeruleus was fixed in either a buffered mixture of osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde, or in buffered glutaraldehyde alone. Cells were then dehydrated and embedded in a mixture of Epon and Araldite.An extensive adoral zone of membranelles surrounds the anterior of the cell, and each membranelle consists of 2 parallel rows of cilia. These extend down into the buccal cavity. Two microtubular root fibers, or nemadesmata (Figs. 2 and 5), extend deeply into the cytoplasm from the base of each ciliary kinetosome. Mitochondria are usually closely associated with the root fiber bundles, and small vesicles are present between the nemadesmata of adjacent kinetosomes (Fig. 5). In the cytopharyngeal, non-ciliated areas of the buccal cavity, microtubular ribbons which extend into the cytoplasm are aligned perpendicular to the plasma membrane of the buccal cavity (Figs. 1 and 2).

Deposition Techniques

Particles of BN,and C are added in amounts of 1 to 40% to SiC and Si3N4 ceramics in order to improve their mechanical properties. The ceramics are then processed by sintering, hot-pressing and chemical vapor deposition techniques to produce dense products. Crack deflection at the particles can increase toughness. However the high temperature strength and toughness are determined byphase interactions in the environmental conditions used for testing. Examination of the ceramics by transmission electron microscopy has shown that the carbon and boron nitride particles have a fibrous texture. In the sintered aSiC ceramic the carbon appears as graphite fiber bundles in the triple junctions and as compact graphite particles within some grains. Examples of these inclusions are shown in Fig. 1A and B.

Objectives: Although clear advances have been achieved in the study of early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), little is known to date about premorbid and prodromal neuropsychological functioning in EOS. Method: Here, we report on a case of an adolescent male with EOS who underwent neuropsychological testing before and after illness onset. Results: Marked cognitive deficits in the domains of attention, set-shifting, and verbal memory were present both pre-onset and during the course of schizophrenia, though only deficits in verbal memory persisted after illness-onset and antipsychotic treatment. Conclusion: The findings of this case study suggest that impairments in the verbal memory domain are particularly prominent symptoms of cognitive impairment in prodromal EOS and persist in the course of the disorder, which further demonstrates the difficult clinical situation of adequate schooling opportunities for adolescent patients with EOS.
