巴西彩龟与无蹼壁虎消化道银染观察

为了探索爬行动物消化道内分泌细胞的分布规律和分泌类型,以改良龙桂开银染法对巴西彩龟、无蹼壁虎消化道嗜银细胞进行了观察,结果表明两种动物从食管到大肠都有嗜银细胞的分布,均在胃幽门或十二指肠有突出的分布密度高峰,在小肠末段或大肠始段有次分布密度高峰,巴西彩龟在食管还有第3分布密度高峰;嗜银细胞多数为毛笔头样、高脚杯状、锥体形、长梭形、椭圆形、不规则形等,多数嗜银细胞可见有明显的突起伸向管腔方向和向管腔释放分泌颗粒的现象,少数可见有伸向基膜或其周围的突起和向基膜或其周围释放分泌颗粒现象,这提示消化道内分泌细胞有闭合型和开放型两种,但更多的是开放型.     

刺猬消化道嗜银细胞形态与分布

通过用龙桂开浸银法对刺猬消化道各段进行组织切片观察,结果表明嗜银细胞分布于胃贲门及以下所有消化管,其中胃、十二指肠与小肠末段嗜银细胞分布密度较高,小肠中段及直肠末段密度较低。嗜银细胞分布于消化管壁粘膜层腺体与绒毛,其中在腺体密度较高,在绒毛较低,并且胃、小肠壁固有膜腺体的中、底部密度最高,另外在胃幽门有狭小的高密度分布区。嗜银细胞有锥体形、瓜子形、椭圆形、长梭形、圆形等。锥体形、瓜子形、长梭形多有明显的长突起。嗜银颗粒或充满整个细胞,或集中于突起端或基底部。细胞外常可见到刚释放的嗜银颗粒,特别是锥体形、瓜子形细胞的尖端处常可见到向腺管腔或肠腔释放的嗜银颗粒。     

嗜银细胞在菲牛蛭消化管中的形态与分布特征

运用Grimelius银染法对菲牛蛭(Poecilobdella manillensis)消化管内嗜银细胞的分布和形态进行观察,并根据嗜银细胞的分布特点统计其分布密度。消化管除食道外各部位均有嗜银细胞分布,细胞染棕色或黑色;嗜银细胞基本位于上皮细胞之间和固有层内,主要呈圆形、椭圆形、锥体形和长条形等多种形态;部分细胞胞突明显,细胞内可见黑色分泌颗粒。嗜银细胞分布密度为颚片最高,嗉囊次之,直肠最低,食道内未检测出嗜银细胞。消化管各段嗜银细胞的形态特征和分布规律可能与其食性和消化生理活动密切相关。     

刺猥消化道嗜银细胞形态与分布

通过用龙桂开浸银法对刺猥消化道各段进行组织切片观察,结果表明嗜银细胞分布于胃贲门以及所有消化管,其中胃,十二指肠与小肠末段嗜银细胞分布密度较高,小肠中段及直肠末段密度较低,嗜银细胞分布于消化管壁粘膜层腺体与绒毛,其中在腺体密度较高,在绒毛较低,并且胃、小肠壁固有膜腺体的中、底部密度最高,另外在胃幽门有狭小的高密度分布区。嗜银细胞有锥体形,瓜子形,椭圆形,长梭形,圆形等,锥体形,瓜子形,长梭形多有明显的长突起。嗜银颗粒或充满整个细胞,或集中于起端或基底部,细胞外常见到刚释放的嗜银颗粒,特别是锥体形,瓜子形细胞的尖端处常可见到向腺管或肠腔释放的嗜银颗粒。     

8周有氧运动对肥胖大鼠消化道嗜银 细胞形态及分布密度的影响

为了研究有氧运动对肥胖大鼠（Rattus norvegicus）消化道嗜银细胞形态及分布密度的影响,本实验采用Grimelius银染法观察8周运动组（n = 9）与对照组（n = 9）肥胖大鼠消化道嗜银细胞形态及分布密度。结果显示,大鼠消化道各部位均有嗜银细胞分布;两组大鼠消化道嗜银细胞形态上无差异,均以圆形、椭圆形、锥体形、梭形为主;两组大鼠消化道嗜银细胞分布密度高峰均位于胃体,而低谷有所不同,对照组大鼠消化道嗜银细胞的分布密度低谷位于食管、贲门,运动组大鼠位于食管、贲门、空肠、回肠、直肠;两组相比,食管和直肠两部位分布密度差异不显著（P > 0.05）,其余各部位均有差异,且运动组大鼠贲门、胃体、盲肠、结肠嗜银细胞分布密度极显著低于对照组（P < 0.01）,幽门、空肠嗜银细胞分布密度极显著高于对照组（P < 0.01）,运动组十二指肠、回肠嗜银细胞分布密度显著高于对照组（P < 0.05）。两组动物嗜银细胞分泌密度的这种改变与动物机体所处不同生理状态以及消化道各部位功能有关。     

中华蟾蜍、黑斑蛙冬眠期与非冬眠期消化管嗜银细胞的比较

以改良龙桂开银染法与Fonana-Messon银染法制作冬眠期与非冬眠期中华蟾蜍、黑斑蛙消化管各部组织切片,观察、测量与比较这两种无尾两栖动物冬眠期与非冬眠期消化管嗜银细胞的形态、密度与分布。结果表明：无论冬眠期还是非冬眠期两种动物消化管嗜银细胞的形态、分布规律相似,嗜银细胞的形态与其所在部位及其颗粒分泌方向有关,嗜银细胞在胃幽门处有明显的密度高峰;两种动物消化管嗜银细胞的分布范围、形状在冬眠期与非冬眠期相似,但冬眠期嗜银细胞的密度和嗜银细胞内的嗜银颗粒密度高于非冬眠期,提示这两种动物冬眠期消化管内分泌机能有较大的贮备。     

中国黄羽鹌鹑消化道嗜银细胞胚后发育的分布及形态学观察

采用Grimelius银染法,对中国黄羽鹌鹑(Coturnix aponica)消化道嗜银细胞胚后发育的分布规律和形态结构进行了观察。结果显示,口腔、食管、嗉囊和泄殖腔中未发现嗜银细胞,其余部位均有不同数量的分布,其分布呈波浪形,大多数日龄段在腺胃和结直肠中存在2个分布高峰,回肠次之,十二指肠、空肠、盲肠较少,随着日龄增加,不同部位嗜银细胞数量均先增加,后减少,在100 d时达高峰。嗜银细胞主要分布在腺胃腺叶内细胞之间、肠黏膜上皮细胞之间及固有层内,形态多呈圆形、椭圆形、锥形及梭形等。结合嗜银细胞形态与功能间的联系,发现消化道内广泛分布着4种类型的嗜银细胞。我们认为中国黄羽鹌鹑消化道的嗜银细胞具有内分泌、外分泌及旁分泌3种功能,其分布特点可能与动物的食性及生活环境有关。     

禁食对东方蝾螈胃肠道嗜银细胞形态 和分布密度的影响

以改良的龙桂开浸银法,比较了喂食和禁食15 d后的东方蝾螈(Cynops orientalis)胃肠道的长度与重量、嗜银细胞的形态及分布密度的变化。结果表明,禁食后动物的肠鲜重下降,胃长度缩短。禁食处理对嗜银细胞的形态无明显影响,呈圆形、椭圆形、楔形、锥体形、毛笔头状和蝌蚪形等。喂食组的分布密度高峰为幽门,低谷为十二指肠;禁食组的分布密度高峰为贲门,低谷为十二指肠、回肠和直肠。除幽门和十二指肠外,禁食组其余胃肠道各部位的密度都高于喂食组。禁食使东方蝾螈胃肠道前、后端嗜银细胞的密度增加,这可能与东方蝾螈的摄食习性和能较长时间耐受饥饿的生理特性有关。     

Quantification of endocrine cells and ultrastructural study of insulin granules in the large intestine of opossum Didelphis aurita (Wied-Neuwied, 1826)

This study aimed to investigate the distribution of argyrophil, argentaffin, and insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells in the large intestine of opossums (Didelphis aurita) and to describe the ultrastructure of the secretory granules of insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells. Fragments of the large intestine of 10 male specimens of D. aurita were collected, processed, and subjected to staining, immunohistochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy. The argyrophil, the argentaffin, and the insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells were sparsely distributed in the intestinal glands of the mucous layer, among other cell types of the epithelium in all regions studied. Proportionally, the argyrophil, the argentaffin, and the insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells represented 62.75%, 36.26%, and 0.99% of the total determined endocrine cells of the large intestine, respectively. Quantitatively, there was no difference between the argyrophil and the argentaffin endocrine cells, whereas insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells were less numerous. The insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells were elongated or pyramidal, with rounded nuclei of irregularly contoured, and large amounts of secretory granules distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The granules have different sizes and electron densities and are classified as immature and mature, with the mature granules in predominant form in the overall granular population. In general, the granule is shown with an external electron-lucent halo and electron-dense core. The ultrastructure pattern in the granules of the insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells was similar to that of the B cells of pancreatic islets in rats.     

扬子鳄消化道嗜银细胞的分布及形态学观察

该文用龙桂开浸银法对扬子鳄消化道嗜银细胞的分布及形态进行了观察。结果表明：嗜银细胞分布于整个消化道中，从食道到直肠。其中，十二指肠和回、直肠交接处密度很高，胃体及直肠很低。嗜银细胞形态多样。食道嗜银细胞位于上皮基部和固有膜中，呈椭圆形或不规则形。胃嗜银细胞位于胃腺部，圆形或椭圆形，有的可见明显的胞突。肠嗜银细胞位于上皮细胞之间，呈长柱形、纺锤形、长颈瓶形或锤状。多数细胞两端有较长胞突，分别与固有膜     

Analysis of the morphology and distribution of argentaffin, argyrophil and insulin-immunoreactive endocrine cells in the small intestine of the adult opossum Didelphis aurita (Wied-Neuwied, 1826)

The aim of this study was to identify and quantify the argyrophil, argentaffin and insulin-immunoreactive cells (IIC) in the small intestine of the opossum Didelphis aurita. Seven adult male specimens of opossums were investigated. The animals were captured, and their blood insulin levels were determined. After euthanasia, fragments of the small intestine were processed for light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and submitted to histochemistry and immunohistochemistry for identification of argyrophil and argentaffin endocrine cells, and IIC. Argyrophil and argentaffin cells were identified in the intestinal villi and Liberkühn crypts, whereas IIC were present exclusively in the crypts. Ultrastructure of the IIC revealed cytoplasmic granules of different sizes and electron densities. The numbers of IIC per mm² in the duodenum and jejunum were higher than in the ileum (p < 0.05). The animals had low levels of blood insulin (2.8 ± 0.78 μIU/ml). There was no correlation between insulin levels and the number of IIC in the small intestine. The IIC presented secretory granules, elongated and variable morphology. It is believed that insulin secretion by the IIC may influence the proliferation of cells in the Liberkühn crypts, and local glucose homeostasis, primarily in animals with low serum insulin levels, such as the opossum.     

Histochemical features of the Muscovy duck small intestine during development

We demonstrated for the first time the distribution and morphology of argyrophil and of goblet cells in the mucosa of the small intestine of the Muscovy duck during development using the Grimelius silver staining and alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff (AB/PAS) staining technique. The argyrophil cells distribution was variable over the length of the small intestine from embryonic day 24 (24E) to post-hatching day 13 (13d). In the villi most argyrophil cells belonged to the open-type, while in the crypts they belonged to the closed-type. In the duodenum the density of argyrophil cells was highest at hatching, while in the jejunum and in the ileum the highest density value was at hatching and 13d. AB/PAS-positive goblet cells appeared on the villi and crypts of the duodenum and jejunum at 30E, and in the ileum at hatching. The density of AB/PAS-positive cells was the highest in the three segments at hatching. The AB-positive cells, compared with the PAS-positive cells, predominated in villi and crypts of the three segments, moreover the rate of AB-positive cells to PAS-positive cells significantly decreased from 30E to 9d. An increase in argyrophil and goblet cells number during the later incubation and at hatching, could indicate the small intestine in that period is being prepared to face a new diet.     

凹耳蛙消化道组织学和嗜银细胞形态观察

为了揭示凹耳蛙(Odorrana tormota)消化道的基本特征,运用石蜡切片法和龙桂开银浸法对凹耳蛙消化道组织学结构及嗜银细胞的形态与分布密度进行了观察。结果显示:①凹耳蛙的胃壁具明显的纵行皱襞和胃小凹,胃腺发达,小肠可分为十二指肠和回肠,杯状细胞分散在十二指肠上皮细胞之间,十二指肠中未见十二指肠腺分布。②凹耳蛙嗜银细胞见于消化道全长,呈毛笔头样、锥体形、梭形、椭圆形和长条形等;幽门腺上皮和十二指肠绒毛上皮中的嗜银细胞具指向腺泡腔或肠腔的突起,提示其可能具有腔分泌的功能。嗜银细胞的分布密度胃幽门部最高,十二指肠和胃体其次,食道最低。据此认为胃既是凹耳蛙的主要消化器官,也是消化道中主要的内分泌器官;十二指肠是凹耳蛙消化道中的主要吸收部位,同时也具有内分泌功能;消化道嗜银细胞具有内分泌的功能,还可能具有腔分泌的功能。     

青海沙蜥消化道组织结构及嗜银细胞研究

为揭示青海沙蜥消化系统的组织结构,探索其高海拔适应的组织学基础,应用解剖学与石蜡切片、H.E染色和Grimelius银染法对青海沙蜥消化道组织结构和嗜银细胞进行研究。结果显示：青海沙蜥的消化道管壁结构分为4层,从内到外依次是粘膜层、粘膜下层、肌层和浆膜。消化道各段的长度和壁厚均存在显著差异,其中小肠最长,胃幽门部的管壁最厚。粘膜皱襞和绒毛的分布也存在差异,空肠部位的小肠绒毛数量最多,其次是十二指肠和回肠。嗜银细胞形状多样,广泛分布在消化道各段的黏膜上皮基部和黏膜上皮之间。胃体是嗜银细胞分布密度最高的部位,其次是贲门,回肠最低。与栖息在低海拔的有鳞类相比,青海沙蜥为适应高海拔环境,小肠的相对长度变长,胃体部嗜银细胞增多。     

极北鲵消化道嗜银细胞的胚后发生

为了探讨极北鲵(Salamandrella keyserlingii)消化道嗜银细胞胚后发生的形态学特征及分布规律,采用Grimelius银染法,对30～46期的极北鲵幼体进行了研究。结果显示,嗜银细胞在食管、胃、小肠各部分的发生时间不同。胃中的嗜银细胞在第41期出现,小肠中的在第42期出现,食管中的在第43期出现。嗜银细胞形态多样,有圆形、椭圆形、梭形和锥体形,大多分布在消化道黏膜上皮之间。根据嗜银细胞的形态判定其可能具有内分泌和外分泌两重功能。极北鲵胚后发育消化道各部位嗜银细胞出现顺序的不同可能与其消化生理活动及个体生理活动的变化相适应。     

Ultrastructural identification of human secretin cells by the immunogold technique. Their costorage of chromogranin A and serotonin

Summary We have localized secretin in a morphologically distinctive endocrine cell scattered in the epithelium covering the villi and uppermost crypts of the human duodenum and jejunum. The human secretin cell was characterized by relatively large (mean diameter 299 nm±69 SD), fairly irregular granules, the majority of which showed homogeneous distribution of secretin and chromogranin A immunolabelling in a structurally homogeneous core. Other granules had a targetoid pattern due to an inner, argyrophobe, secretin-immunoreactive body surrounded by an argyrophil, chromogranin A immunoreactive mantle. These targetoid granules represent a distinctive ultrastructural marker of the secretin cell. Secretin cell granules have been shown to react with chromogranin A antibodies and Grimelius' silver, while lacking chromogranin B immunoreactivity. About 1/3 of secretin cells also showed serotonin immunostaining.
