尼罗罗非鱼消化道肥大细胞的组化性质

实验采用改良甲苯胺蓝(MTB)、阿利新蓝-沙黄(AB/SO)、甲基绿-派洛宁(MG-P)、天青Ⅱ-伊红-瑞氏混合液和硫堇5种组化染色法,对尼罗罗非鱼(Nile tilapia)消化道组织中的肥大细胞(Mast cell,MC)组化性质进行研究。尼罗罗非鱼的食管、胃及小肠壁内均显示有肥大细胞,在食管和胃的切片标本上肥大细胞主要分布在黏膜固有层和胃腺体之间。在肠道中的肥大细胞主要分布在黏膜固有层和肠上皮下方,少量肥大细胞存在于黏膜下层结缔组织中。细胞呈圆形、椭圆形,也有长梭形的。而且肥大细胞有沿血管分布的特点。5种组化染色结果表明:AB/SO、MTB和MG-P显示的MC效果较好,尤其AB/SO染色效果最好,肥大细胞轮廓清楚,胞质颗粒较清晰;尼罗罗非鱼肥大细胞胞浆颗粒都呈红色,即肥大细胞胞浆主要含肝素,不含组胺。天青Ⅱ-伊红-瑞氏混合液染色效果也很好,但被染的肥大细胞较少;80%乙醇硫堇染色,在尼罗罗非鱼消化道各段组织中均未能鉴定出肥大细胞。尼罗罗非鱼消化道肥大细胞大多分布于浅层的黏膜或血管、腺体周围的结缔组织等易表露于环境抗原的位点。罗非鱼消化道黏膜层结缔组织中的肥大细胞与大多数脊椎动物的肥大细胞一样,具有沿血管分布的特性,说明硬骨鱼的肥大细胞如哺乳动物肥大细胞一样与血管有着密切的关系。       

新生大鼠雌激素注射后睾丸肥大细胞的变化

新生大鼠注射雌二醇后,睾丸肥大细胞于第30天可见到,细胞数量随年龄增长而增多,生后4－6个月,睾丸网附近仍可见大量肥大细胞。睾丸内的肥大细胞比皮肤内的结缔组织肥大细胞（CTMC）小而与小肠粘膜的粘膜肥大细胞（MMC）相近,AB－S染色后基本着蓝色,硫酸小檗碱荧光染色后呈现中等强度黄色荧光,结果提示,新生大鼠雌激素注射后睾丸内肥大细胞的增多可能与免疫过程有关,睾丸内肥大细胞与CTMC和MMC皆有所不同。     

结缔组织铺片脂肪组织油红染色在组织学实验教学中的应用

目的在传统结缔组织铺片基础上开展脂肪组织油红染色方法在医学本科生组织学实验教学中的应用。方法学生先进行疏松结缔组织铺片,并施行脂肪组织油红o-甲苯胺兰-伊红三重染色,然后镜下观察。结果油红o染色把结缔组织中的脂肪细胞内脂滴保存下来并染上红色。脂肪组织中央的细胞脂滴均匀红染,充满胞浆,周边的脂肪细胞胞浆中油红染色很少,细胞呈空泡状,显示出脂肪细胞亚群存在。甲苯胺兰染色使得疏松结缔组织中肥大细胞染成紫红色,胞核染色浅,细胞数量多、成群分布。伊红可使得结缔组织内除脂肪细胞、肥大细胞意外的其他细胞的胞浆和胶原纤维染成淡红色。结论传统的组织学平铺片技术基础上引入脂肪油红o-甲苯胺兰-伊红三重染色,可增强学生动手能力,并能很好地了解输送结缔组织中细胞的不同表型和分布,丰富组织学内容,把教学、科研连接一起,达到提高实验教学质量的目的。

本研究采用改良甲苯胺蓝染色法探讨了奥尼罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus ♀×O. aureus♂)胃肠道肥大细胞的分布及其形态特点。结果发现,经甲苯胺蓝染色的肥大细胞其核着深蓝色,颗粒被染成紫红色,着色深浅不一。肥大细胞大小不一,形态各异,呈圆形、椭圆形或梭形、菱形,散在或集中分布在黏膜层固有膜和黏膜下层,尤其常见分布于小血管周围。经统计,肥大细胞在奥尼罗非鱼的胃、幽门盲囊、后肠、前肠、中肠的数量依次减少。胃和幽门盲囊内肥大细胞数量显著高于前肠和中肠(P0.05),与后肠无显著差异;前肠、中肠和后肠内肥大细胞数量并无明显差别。     

肥大细胞及肠嗜铬细胞在人胃消化性溃疡发病中的作用

目的探讨肥大细胞与肠嗜铬细胞在人胃溃疡发病中的作用。方法收集胃溃疡标本90例,正常胃组织30例。采用甲苯胺兰检测肥大细胞的数量、分布,免疫组化染色检测类胰蛋白酶、5-羟色胺表达,另取5例新鲜胃溃疡组织进行电镜检测。结果溃疡组与对照组比较肥大细胞及肠嗜铬细胞数量均明显增加（P〈0.05）,肥大细胞在溃疡组脱颗粒现象明显,线性相关分析显示肥大细胞与肠嗜铬细胞数量呈正相关,相关系数为0.741。结论肥大细胞与肠嗜铬细胞在人胃溃疡发病中均发挥了作用。     

几种肥大细胞染色方法的比较

运用ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色及PAP技术对大鼠肝、胃、肠及DAB诱发的大鼠肝癌中肥大细胞进行了染色对比实验,结果表明:Carnoy及福尔马林等固定液固定的组织内肥大细胞均能被爱先蓝染色成蓝色,其染色时间不同,该种染色方法可作为一种常规的染色方法,用于确定肥大细胞在组织中的分布及数量。ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色方法及PAP技术均能准确、有效地确定肥大细胞(MC)性质。ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色使结缔组织肥大细胞(CTMC)呈棕褐色,周边略蓝色。粘膜肥大细胞(MMC)则呈蓝色,通过不同颜色的显示,可清楚地将CTMC与MMC区分开来。PAP方法具更高的特异性。但有关的抗体来源缺乏,因此在无特异Ⅰ抗体的情况下,ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色方法亦可视为鉴别两类不同性质MC的一种较为理想的方法。     

肥大细胞的组织化学与超微结构异质性

肥大细胞(mast cell,MC)是一种重要的免疫细胞,分为结缔组织肥大细胞(connective tissue mast cell,CTMC)和黏膜肥大细胞(mucosal mast cell,MMC)两大类。肥大细胞具有异质性,即肥大细胞在不同种属或同一种种属的不同个体、甚至同一种个体的不同组织器官中存在着形态学、分布、颗粒化学成分、染色特性及超微结构和功能等方面的差异性。近些年,人们围绕着肥大细胞的异质性进行了一系列生物学研究,并取得了一定进展,但对异质性的机制认识尚不清楚。深入的讨论、研究与比较仍然很必要。现对肥大细胞的亚群、形态与分布、着染性与免疫组化、超微结构等的异质性研究进展作一简要综述。

从甲状腺肥大细胞探讨胎儿器官肥大细胞的差异

研究肥大细胞在人胎儿甲状腺发育中数量、分布及组化性质的改变,以探讨胎儿器官发育中肥大细胞的差异。取45例不同胎龄的人胎甲状腺石蜡切片做甲苯胺蓝染色和阿尔辛蓝－－藏红染色,并测定肥大细胞的临界电解质浓度值及进行硫酸小蘖硷荧光染色。结果显示：3月龄胎儿甲状腺内开始出现肥大细胞,数量极少,主要分布在被膜及小叶间结缔组织内,甲苯胺蓝染色肥大细胞颗粒呈淡紫蓝色,阿尔辛蓝－－藏红染色呈蓝色,临界电解质浓度值较低,硫酸小蘖硷染色未见显黄色荧乐的肥大细胞,从3月龄到足月随着胎龄增长,肥大细胞数量缓慢增多,8月龄时肥大细胞经甲苯胺蓝染色,其颗粒呈紫红色,阿尔辛蓝－－藏红染色出现少量含红色和红蓝混合染色颗粒的肥大细胞,临界电解质浓度值偏高,可见少量显黄色荧光的肥大细胞,结果表明：在人胎儿3月龄时甲状腺发育中开始出现肥大细胞,但随胎儿发育肥大细胞的组化性质改变不明显。     

鸡中枢淋巴器官肥大细胞的组织化学与形态学

对哺乳动物的,特别是啮齿动物和人类肥大细胞已有了比较深入的研究, 但关于家禽肥大细胞的研究很少.本研究旨在阐明鸡中枢淋巴器官中肥大细胞的组织化学与形态学特征.本研究证实Carnoy 氏液是鸡肥大细胞的优良的固定液,而中性缓冲福尔马林(NBF) 却阻断了大多数肥大细胞的着染力.甲苯胺蓝和阿尔新蓝是鸡肥大细胞的良好的染料,但阿尔新蓝能使更多的肥大细胞着染,虽然其也可使杯状细胞着染.作者的一种新的染色法, 长时间阿尔新蓝染色(LAB-S)可用于NBF固定的组织中肥大细胞的染色,因为其着染的细胞数与Carnoy 氏液固定甲苯胺蓝染色的细胞数无显著差异(P<0.001).在胸腺髓质中见有大量的肥大细胞,而胸腺皮质仅可见个别肥大细胞位于血管周围及小叶间结缔组织中.腔上囊的皮质与髓质中很少见有肥大细胞.肥大细胞有血管周围分布的倾向,但一个有趣的发现是血管内偶尔也有个别肥大细胞.电镜下可见肥大细胞的胞浆颗粒内充满无定形的颗粒状基质,但其电子密度有的较高,有的较低.少数胞浆颗粒内有旋涡状及网状亚微结构.但未见有人类肥大细胞胞浆颗粒内特征性的晶格状和卷轴状的亚微结构,也未见到在绵羊肥大细胞中描述过的特殊亚微结构.     

Alterations in the dynamics of inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis in subcutaneous implants of lupus-prone mice

Wound repair is a complex process that involves inflammation, proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition/remodeling and apoptosis. Autoimmune diseases profoundly affect the healing process. We have used histological parameters to characterize the recruitment of mast cells and the proliferative activity and apoptosis in the fibrovascular tissue induced by subcutaneous polyether-polyurethane sponge implants in lupus-prone New Zealand White (NZW) and in control Balb/c mouse strains at days 10 and 21 post implantation. Fibrovascular tissue infiltration (hematoxylin and eosin staining), mast cell number (Dominici staining) and cellular proliferation (AgNOR staining) peaked early (day 10) but collagen deposition (picrosirius red staining) and apoptosis remained high in implants of NZW mice during the experimental period. In contrast, implants of Balb/c animals showed a progressive increase in mast cell recruitment and cellular proliferation but apoptosis fell from day 10 to 21 post-implantation. This divergent response early mast cells recruitment, excessive collagen deposition and disturbed removal of apoptotic cells from the site of injury in NZW mice implies that the genotype trait of NZW mice is a determining factor in abnormal healing response.

Histochemical Aspects of the Affinity of Mast Cell Granules for Night Blue

The affinity of mast cell granules for night blue was studied in fresh and fixed rat lip, dog mast cell tumor, normal human ileum, and human mast cell and carcinoid tumors. Fixatives used were 10% formalin, 1% trichloracetic acid in absolute alcohol, and Zenker's and Bouin's fluids. Extractions of fresh tissue with hot water, acids, and bases removed the stainable material or prevented staining, but similar treatment of fixed tissue did not. Hot pyridine was without effect as was chloroform-methanol, but methylation blocked mast cell staining by night blue. Chromic acid oxidation and prolonged Zenker and Bouin fixation also prevented staining. Hyaluronidase treatment was without effect. Sulfhydryl and disulfide linkages were changed without altering the stainability.     

Enzyme histochemistry of rat mast cell tryptase

Fixation and staining conditions for rat mast cell tryptase and its histochemical distribution in different rat tissues were investigated. Prostate, skin, lung, gut, stomach and salivary glands were fixed in either aldehyde or Carnoy fixatives and then frozen or embedded in paraffin wax. Preservation of tryptase enzymic activity against peptide substrates required aldehyde fixation and frozen sectioning. Of the peptide substrates examined, z-Ala-Ala-Lys-4-methoxy-2-naphthylamide and z-Gly-Pro-Arg-4-methoxy-2-naphthylamide proved the most effective for the demonstration of tryptase. Double staining by enzyme cytochemistry followed by immunological detection of tryptase showed that, in all tryptase-containing mast cells, the enzyme is at least in part active. Conventional dye-binding histochemistry was used to confirm the identity of mast cells. Aldehyde-fixed mucosal mast cells required a much shorter staining time with Toluidine Blue if tissue sections were washed directly in t-butyl alcohol. Double staining by enzyme cytochemistry and dye binding showed that tryptase is absent from mucosal and subepidermal mast cells, which are also smaller in size and appear to contain fewer granules than connective tissue mast cells. This study demonstrates that rat mast cell tryptase, unlike tryptases in other species, is a soluble enzyme. It is stored in an active form and is absent from some mast cell subpopulations in mucosa, skin and lung. © 1998 Chapman & Hall     

Distribution, density and heterogeneity of canine mast cells and influence of fixation techniques

 The present study was carried out to determine the physiological distribution of mast cell numbers and types in the dog according to tissue location, staining and fixation methods. Tissue samples from stomach, duodenum, lung, lymph node, skin and uterus were evaluated. Samples were fixed in formalin as well as in Carnoy’s fluid. The average number of mast cells was determined using a metachromatic staining method. Protease content of mast cells was examined with a double enzyme-immunohistochemical staining technique, using a histochemical reaction for chloroacetate esterase to detect chymase activity and an immunohistochemical staining method for the detection of tryptase. Canine mast cells can be subdivided into formalin-sensitive and -resistant mast cells. Three subtypes were identified according to their content of the mast cell-specific proteases tryptase (T) and chymase (C): T-, TC- and C-mast cells. Significant differences regarding the distribution of mast cell subtypes as well as the influence of the fixation method can be observed. This underlines the fact that data regarding mast cell heterogeneity from other species, obtained by different fixation methods, are not comparable. This fact has to be taken into consideration when evaluating mast cell subtypes under pathological conditions. Accepted: 29 January 1998     

Staining Mast Cells for Morphometric Evaluation on an Image Analysis System

Multiple skin sections from three nonhuman primates (Macaca mulatta) and three hairless guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) were stained with 12 different histologic stains to determine whether mast cells could be selectively stained for morphometric analysis using an image analysis system (IAS). Sections were first evaluated with routine light microscopy for mast cell granule staining and the intensity of background staining. Methylene blue-basic fuchsin and Unna's method for mast cells (polychrome methylene blue with differentiation in glycerin-ether) stained mast cell granules more intensely than background in both species. Toluidine blue-stained sections in the guinea pig yielded similar results. Staining of the nuclei of dermal connective tissue was enhanced with the methylene blue-basic fuchsin and toluidine blue stains. These two stains, along with the Unna's stain, were further evaluated on an IAS with and without various interference filters (400.5-700.5 nm wavelengths). In both the methylene blue-basic fuchsin and toluidine blue stained sections, mast cell granules and other cell nuclei were detected together by the IAS. The use of interference filters with these two stains did not distinguish mast cell granules from stained nuclei. Unna's stain was the best of the 12 stains evaluated because mast cell granule staining was strong and background staining was faint. This contrast was further enhanced by interference filters (500.5-539.5 nm) and allowed morphometric measurements of mast cells to be taken on the IAS without background interference.
