SUMMARY Typical histological and ultrastructural changes that occur in the pars distalis of the rabbit pituitary after different periods of organ culture are described. The best technique for the maintenance of the maximum proportion of the explant was assessed by comparing cultures grown under different conditions. Explants in air with a medium buffered with N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N1-2-ethanesulphonic acid (HEPES), not previously used in organ culture, proved more satisfactory than explants in carbogen with bicarbonate-buffered 199, and cultures were maintained for more than 3 weeks. The survival of cells was assessed on the basis of their cytological integrity; DNA- and RNA-fluorescence with acridine orange was a valuable indicator. Prolactin cells, which were few in uncultured controls, became the most common type of granular cell in long-term cultures. Cell modifications during culture included the development of a peripheral epithelioid layer and the appearance of numerous microvilli. Microfibrils, coated or smooth vesicles, lytic bodies, desmosomes and intranuclear rods became more common and intranuclear rodlets (fibrous or membranous structures) were identified. Cells often became more electron dense during long-term culture. Though there was an increase in the number of agranular cells during culture, identifiable granules were retained by many cells throughout culture.

The experiment with the chronic effects of alcohol on experimental animals reflects the picture of long-term use of alcoholic beverages by a person with alcoholism. It is impossible to fully study the ultrastructural changes in internal organs, including the reproductive system, in humans, both in acute and chronic alcohol consumption, but the results obtained in the experiment can be extrapolated to humans. The results obtained showed that changes in the parenchymal-stromal elements of the testicles during chronic alcoholization are reduced to dystrophic transformation of the spermatogenic epithelium. The testicular stroma is characterized by pronounced circulatory disorders with plethora and stasis in the postcapillaries and small veins, edema, phenomena of perivascular and interstitial sclerosis, with foci of pronounced hyalinosis, most expressed by 2-3 months of alcoholism. By 6 months of the model experiment, there was no dynamics of the growth of morphological changes, partial adaptation to constant intoxication with ethyl alcohol.
