Observations on development and morphological effects of histamine liberator 48/80 on PAS-positive granular leukocytes and heterophils of Catostomus commersoni

Developmental stages of the two circulating blood granulocytes, the heterophil and the periodic acid-Schiff-positive granular leukocyte (PAS-GL) are described. There are no metachromatic basophils in this fish and eosinophils, when present, are confined to extra-vascular tissues. Fish were killed up to 24 h after injection with histamine liberator 48/80. Morphological (L/M and E/M) and histochemical studies of blood, haemopoietic tissue and gills from experimental fish were compared with those of untreated control fish.
Blood cells other than PAS-GL and heterophils were generally unaffected by 48/80. Most PAS-GL and heterophils showed alterations in granules and other cytoplasmic features. Stretching and splitting of the PAS-GL nucleus occurred. Very little, if any, histamine was detectable in PAS-GL and heterophils.
The authors support the postulate that during evolution PAS-GL become basophils/ mast cells through two major stages, (1) sulphation of the granule polysaccharide to give heparin resulting in metachromasia of the granules and (2) storage of large quantities of histamine in the granules.     

Characterization of blood cells and hematological parameters in Cichlasoma dimerus (Teleostei, Perciformes)

The aim of the present study was to obtain a basic knowledge of the hematology of Cichlasoma dimerus. The morphological features of blood cells were described according to the observations made by light and electron microscopy. Erythrocytes, thrombocytes and four types of leucocytes: lymphocytes, monocytes, heterophils and eosinophils, were distinguished and characterized. Thrombocytes are the most abundant blood cells after erythrocytes and are recognized easily from lymphocytes by morphological features and size. Heterophils and eosinophils are PAS positive. Hematological indices (RBC, WBC, PCV, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC and leucocyte differential count) were measured in one blood sample from 30 adult fish captured in Esteros del Riachuelo, Corrientes, Argentina (27 degrees 25'S, 58 degrees 15'W). The reference interval and the mean were determined for each hematological parameter evaluated. Contrary to other species, the percent of heterophils was found to be high in relation to the percent of lymphocytes. Low lymphocyte counts occurred in C. dimerus, as compared to these found in other fishes. Compared to most teleosts, this species has similar mean values for PCV and Hb and slightly higher for RBC. Statistical analysis revealed that differences in hematological parameters between male and female fish were not significant.     

Relating tumor score to hematology in green turtles with fibropapillomatosis in Hawaii

The relationship between hematologic status and severity of tumor affliction in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with fibropapillomatosis (FP) was examined. During 1 wk periods in July 1997 and July 1998, we bled 108 free-ranging green turtles from Pala'au (Molokai, Hawaii, USA) where FP is endemic. Blood was analyzed for hematocrit, estimated total solids, total white blood cell (WBC) count and differential WBC count. Each turtle was assigned a subjective tumor score ranging from 0 (no visible external tumors) to 3 (heavily tumored) that indicated the severity of FP. There was a progressive increase in monocytes and a decrease in all other hematologic parameters except heterophils and total numbers of white blood cells as tumor score increased. These data indicate that tumor score can relate to physiologic status of green turtles afflicted with FP, and that tumor score is a useful field monitor of severity of FP in this species.     

Topochemistry of blood cells of the Gallus domesticus (Aves, Galliforme).

Blood smears of both male and female chicken Gallus domesticus were analysed by using the following topochemical methods: a) Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) for glycogen. b) Mercury-bromophenol blue for protein. c) O-Toluidine for myeloperoxidase. d) Sudan black B for lipid. The PAS reaction revealed glycogen in the cytoplasm of all thrombocytes and in a few heterophils. The presence of proteins was evidenced in all types of cells. However variation in the intensity of staining of protein granules was observed in the fusiform structures of the heterophils. A negative reaction for myeloperoxidase was found in all cells. Although some evidence of myeloperoxidase activity was show in the polymorphonuclears it was not enough to ascertain a positive reaction. Lipids were detected in the cytoplasm of few heterophils, eosinophils and monocytes.     

Timing of migration dates and detection of first wintering sites for the Turtle Dove in Northwest Africa

The identification of migration dates and wintering zones for migratory birds are key elements for the understanding of the Afro-Palearctic migration system. From 2015 to 2022, a large-scale survey of Turtle Doves Streptopelia turtur, a vulnerable species, was established in Northwest Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. We monitored migration dates and wintering individuals using the line-transect method. We found that Turtle Doves arrived in the last week of March and left the North African region in mid-October. Compared with Morocco, Doves arrived significantly earlier in Algeria and Tunisia. Moreover, Doves were discovered wintering on nine Northwest African sites, from October to February, where individuals feed in groups. We found that the occurrence probability of wintering Turtle Doves decreased significantly with increasing temperature and rainfall. Birds wintered most often close to wetlands since the overwintering probability decreased with the increasing distance from the recording area to the nearest water body. These are the first and only detailed findings on the migration phenology of the globally vulnerable Turtle Dove in north western Africa.

Two of them have been preserved for the Zoological Museum of Gorgan University. This is the first report of the Olive Ridley Turtle in Iranian coastal waters.     

Identification of rabbit eosinophils and heterophils in cutaneous healing wounds

Summary The study of wound healing has traditionally used the rabbit as an experimental model. We have recently localized the production of the multifunctional cytokine, TGF-, to eosinophils in rabbit skin wounds. It was evident that during the process of TGF- localization, the distinction between the two granulocytic cell types, eosinophils and heterophils, was impossible by conventional histochemical techniques. This paper describes a rapid method to distinguish these two granulocytes by virtue of their endogenous peroxidases and differential resistance to blockade by inhibitors. In sections that have been blocked by hydrogen peroxide, the peroxidase substrate 3,3-diaminobenzidine, together with nickel chloride (DAB-Ni), preferentially stained the cytoplasm of rabbit eosinophils while sparing those of heterophils. This selective DAB staining of rabbit eosinophil peroxidase in H₂O₂-blocked rabbit wounds was verified at the ultrastructural level by electron microscopy. We applied this technique to quantify eosinophil and heterophil infiltration into the 21-day rabbit cutaneous healing wound model. Heterophils were found infiltrated into all three layers of the wound (clot > granulation > base), but eventually all disappeared by day 21. As with the heterophils, eosinophils which had infiltrated into the clot and base of the wound had disappeared by day 21. Unlike the heterophils, eosinophils in the granulation layer of the wound continued to increase up to day 21. The continually increased and sustained presence of the eosinophils together with their demonstrated production of TGF-, in the granulation layer of the healing wound suggests that these cells play an important role in the organizational aspects of healing wounds.
