During a study of the development of infectious laryngotracheitis (LT) virus in tissue culture cells, unusual tubular formations were found in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of the affected cells. It is the purpose of this report to describe the morphologic characteristics of the tubules and to discuss their possible association with the development of virus.The source and maintenance of the strain of LT virus have been described. Prior to this study, the virus was passed several times in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) tissue culture cells.

Malignant Neoplasia

Mesothelial cells constitute the lining of the three serous sacs of the body i.e. the pleura, pericardium and peritoneum. The more common type of malignant neoplasia of the serous sacs is seeding by metastatic tumors and primary malignancy of the mesothelium is unusual. Of the three sacs, the pleura is the most common site of malignant mesothelioma. Involvement of the peritoneum is extremely rare.We report 3 cases of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum. All of them were female. Their ages were 57, 67 and 72 years, respectively. The patients presented with abdominal discomfort and/or ascites. The extent of the tumors ranged from a peritoneal implant to widespread infiltration of the peritoneum and omentum. Histologic examination in Case 1 showed the presence of a diffusely infiltrating papillary mesothelioma without a sarcomatoid component. A mesodermal element was present in the other two cases. In order to establish a morphological diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma, the possibility has to be excluded of a metastatic adenocarcinoma.

SummaryTwenty-seven adult male New Zealand rabbits (3–4 kgs) were used in this study. Six rabbits received vehicle, 3 groups of 6 each received doses of 4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)- thiazole, (U-53,059), at 0.3 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 30.0 mg/kg/day respectively. Drug and vehicle doses were given orally each day starting 3 days before balloon injury and continuing for the entire 2 week time period. Three rabbits were used as nontreated sham controls. In the vehicle and U-53,059 treated groups aortae were denuded of endothelial cells by balloon catheter injury. Two weeks after injury platelet aggregation to collagen was measured and the aortae removed for analysis of surface characteristics by scanning electron microscopy and lesion size by morphometry. All doses of U-53,059 inhibited platelet aggregation. The 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg groups had the greatest inhibitory effect. All balloon injured aortae had the same morphologic characteristics. All vessels had similar extent and intensity of Evan’s blue staining, similar areas of leukocyte/platelet adhesion, and a myointimal cell cover of transformed smooth muscle cells. The myointimal proliferative response was not inhibited at any of the drug doses studied.
