Background/Aim. The optic nerve is anatomically observed in four segments: intrabulbar, orbital, canalicular, and cranial. According to the literature, the surface of the transversal cut of the nerve is different through it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fascicular organisation of the optic nerve, throughout its three segments from the eye. Methods. Five pairs of optic nerves, obtained from the autopsies were examined. Using Heidenhain's (azan) staining, the cuts were prepared for microscopy. Morphometric analysis was performed using the stereological methods for morphometric cytology - the Weible?s testing system M42. The following measures were established: the surface of the transverse cut of the nerve, the entire surface of fasciculi, the entire surface of connective tissue and blood vessels, the number of fasciculi, the surface of a single fasciculus. Results. The surface of the transverse cut of the nerve was found to grow from the orbital to the cranial segment, as well as the entire surface of fasciculi. While their number is significantly lower in the cranial segment, the number of fasciculi varied slightly between the orbital and the canalicular segment. The surface of a single fasciculus grows from the bulb to the chiasma. There is probable a cause to believe that this may be due to fusion of the ?small? fasciculi in the orbitocranial direction. Conclusion. There are significant differences among the examined parameters of the different parts of the optic nerve.

✓ In order to examine nerve regeneration under conditions in which the basal laminae of the glial limiting membranes (GLM) and blood vessels were preserved intact, the intraorbital segment of adult rat optic nerve was frozen locally. During the next 3 months, degenerative and regenerative changes in axons and glial cells were observed by light and electron microscopy. On the day after treatment, all the myelinated and unmyelinated axons in the central zone of the lesion were damaged. The astrocyte endfeet of the GLM as well as the blood vessels were extensively disrupted, while their basal laminae were preserved apparently intact as a continuous sheet. Three days after treatment, regenerating axons appeared in the central zone of the lesion. They contained various numbers of clear and dense-cored vesicles as well as some smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The regenerating axons gradually increased in number, especially beneath the pial and perivascular surfaces of the lesion, where an abundance of regenerating axons was found 3 months after treatment. A few of these axons were abnormally remyelinated by oligodendrocytes. In addition to this axonal regeneration through the intraoptic nerve compartment, fine regenerating axons were seen growing out through GLM into the pial connective tissue 3 weeks after treatment. Astrocyte endfeet of the GLM became irregular in contour, protruding in a fern-leaf fashion into the pial connective tissue. Fine naked axons grew out through these protrusions and subsequently increased in number, vigorously growing in large bundles both proximally and distally along blood vessels in the pial connective tissue. Bundles of regenerating axons extended as much as 1.5 mm from the site of the lesion 3 months after surgery. These bundles were covered by thin processes of pial or arachnoidal non-neuronal cells, and the regenerating axons remained unmyelinated. The above findings indicate that under well-nourished conditions, adult mammalian optic nerve exhibits considerable regenerative ability.

The aim of the study was to establish morphofunctional and immunohistochemical characteristics of large omentum in women with ovarian cancer.Material and methods. The large omenta of 48 women with ovarian cancer (low-grade differentiated seropapillary adenocarcinoma of high-grade malignancy) of II stage (n=20) and III stage (n=28) were studied. Histological sections were stained with overview histological and immunohistochemical methods (to reveal ki67, P53, CD34, CD7, CD4, CD8, CD61 proteins expression). Results. In patients, the size of the large omentum was characterized by high individual variability; in the presence of metastasis, the size of the omentum was reduced. Intensive development of blood vessels in the organ was noted, but in the presence of metastases stasis of blood corpuscles, leucocytic infiltration, and moderate edema of connective tissue were observed in the organ’s vessels. Areas of lymphoid tissue, both small lymphatic follicles and diffusely located lymphoid tissue, were revealed in the omentum. In most follicles, reactive centers were not marked, and the number of follicles was reduced in the presence of metastases in the omentum. The analysis of CD34+ cells distribution showed that they were identified both in the tumor and in the areas of the omentum adjacent to the tumor, which indicates a pronounced angiogenesis. An irregular distribution of CD7+ and CD8+ and CD4+ cells was revealed in the tumor tissues, as well as in the surroundings. Simultaneously with the expression of P53 protein, ki67 protein expression is revealed in the significant number of tumor cells (including endothelial cells of tumor blood vessels). The proportion of ki67+ cells in the tumor cell population was 60.1±3.3%. The presence of a large number of ki67+cells in the presence of P53 protein expression in them indicates the aggressiveness of the tumor, as well as a disturbance of apoptosis regulatory mechanisms in the cells. Ki67 expression was low in the omentum areas unaffected by metastases, and it was revealed in the certain areas of connective tissue in fibroblastic programmed differentiation cells. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate significant plasticity and reactivity of great omentum in the presence of tumor process in the body and confirm the important role of great omentum in protective reactions.

Living Mouse

Minute amounts of Locke's or Tyrode's solution have been brought into contact with the interstitial connective tissue of the skin of the living mouse, at atmospheric pressure, in such a manner that the blood or lymphatic vessels are not entered directly. Under such circumstances these absorbable fluids enter the tissue spontaneously. Entrance is strikingly intermittent, not continuous, and so too when very slight pressures are brought to bear on the fluids (1). Hyperemia of the tissues, with accompanying dilatation of the blood vessels, increases the entrance of fluids at atmospheric pressure but it is still intermittent. By contrast, venous obstruction leads to intermittent backflow into the apparatus, but reflex hyperemia, following release of the obstruction, is attended by an increase of flow into the tissues in spite of the great reactive dilatation of vessels. The inflow is also intermittent. If the skin is deprived of circulation, fluid does not enter it at all at atmospheric pressure, though it moves in regularly and continuously if slight pressure is put upon it. Edema-forming fluids, described in the text, also enter in a continuous manner when forced into the skin of either living or dead animals. So too do serum and sperm oil. The findings indicate that the passage of interstitial fluid into the blood vessels may be intermittent under normal circumstances and its escape from them as well. The observed occurrence of intermittent flow in the blood vessels of several tissues (9, 15–25) will go far to account for the intermittent entrance of fluid into the skin.

Different Cell Types

1. A general description is given of the pituitary of the perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), and histological details of its various parts. The subdivisions of the glandular component are confluent with each other but distinguished by their different cell types. The nervous lobe makes contact with all three of the subdivisions, but is separated from them by a layer of connective tissue, incomplete in particular areas. 2. The anterior glandular region (anterior lobe) has an anterior chromophil and a posterior chromophobe zone. The middle glandular region (transitional lobe) possesses brightly staining acidophils and basophils as well as chromophobes. The acidophils form a dorsal sheet, deeply indented by processes of the nervous lobe, the basophils lie ventrally and posteriorly, and chromophobes are common towards the extremities of the indentations. The posterior glandular region (intermediate lobe) is elaborately penetrated by nervous lobe processes; the cells are small and consist of amphiphils, dull basophils, and occasional dull acidophils. The possible homologies of these regions to the lobes of higher types are discussed. The nervous lobe is of loose glial tissue with many nuclei and blood vessels and some reticular and collagenous fibres. 3. Strongly acidophil spheres of various sizes and in various numbers occur in the middle glandular region. They originate in ‘sphere cells’ resembling eosinophil leucocytes and after enlarging become free in the tissues of the region. Later they appear to pass into the posterior processes of the nervous lobe to be the larger bodies of the Herring material. Finally these larger elements appear to break down to form a fine granulation, whose further fate could not be followed.

ABSTRACTSpinal ligaments were obtained from normal and scoliotic individuals. Detailed morphological studies were carried out on the yellow, interspinous and supraspinous ligaments by light and scanning electron microscopy. Normal yellow ligaments are mostly constituted of dense elastin fibers with only a few collagen fibers and sparse blood vessels, while in normal interspinous and supraspinous ligaments, the presence of collagen is highly dominant. In the latter structures, the collagen fascicles are characterized by a regular waviness morphology. The fibrils constituting the fascicles appear either parallel or helical with respect to the fascicle axis. Structural changes are observed in the spinal ligaments of patients with congenital as well as idiopathic scoliosis. For yellow ligaments, only slight differences are found between normal and scoliotic specimens. However, alterations in collagen waviness and architecture are observed mainly in the supraspinous ligaments and to a lesser extent in the interspinous ligaments. In addition, increases in the cellularity, loose connective tissue and vessels are found in both forgoing ligaments. These results indicate that the more pronounced scoliosis-related changes occur in ligaments having the farthest distance from the axis of flexion-rotation.

Pulmonary Capillaritis

The vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders that can range from mild inflammation of blood vessels in the skin, to organ- and life-threatening diseases. The term ‘vasculitis’ is a pathological description of blood vessel wall inflammation which leads to ischaemia and infarction of the target organs. Definitions and classifications of the primary vasculitides are mainly based on the predominant calibre of the blood vessels involved but incorporate clinical, pathological, and laboratory features. The secondary vasculitides usually occur in the context of other connective tissue diseases and are not discussed further in this section. Goodpasture’s disease is not usually included in the primary vasculitides, but has compatible clinical features of pulmonary capillaritis and glomerulonephritis.
