INVESTIGATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE CORNIFIED EPITHELIUM OF THE HUMAN SKIN

To explore the submicroscopic structure of the human callus by the polarization optical method, serial sections were prepared in three principal planes and the sign of double refraction as well as optic axes of various regions of the sections was determined. It was concluded that in areas under the grooves keratin is oriented parallel to the surface plane of the callus and to the direction of the grooves. In component structures of ridge areas such as in sweat duct areas a circumferential, in cross-band areas a linear, and in other parts a random structure was seen. The cross-bands of ridge areas in association with groove areas revealed a regular lattice-like submicroscopic pattern which was considered as an important mechanical system of the cornified epithelium.

LOCALIZATION OF PERMEABILITY BARRIERS IN THE FROG SKIN EPITHELIUM

Ruthenium red and colloidal lanthanum were used to determine the site of the structural barriers to diffusion within the intercellular spaces of frog skin epithelium. Electron micrographs show that occluding zonules located at the outer border of the stratum corneum and at the outer layer of the stratum granulosum are true tight junctions since they are impermeable to these tracers. Measurement of ¹⁴⁰La uptake by the living skin shows that lanthanum moves across the external surface of the skin readily, into and out of a compartment that has a limited capacity and is bounded on its internal side by a barrier impermeable to lanthanum. Examination of these skins with the electron microscope suggests that the compartment is localized between the external membrane of the cells at the outer layer of the s. granulosum and at the outermost surface of the skin. These observations and other findings described in the literature indicate that the site of the external high resistance barrier of the frog skin is localized at the outer border of the s. granulosum.     

A CYCLOSCOPIC STUDY OF THE HUMAN ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM

Cycloscopic analyses of a series of electroencephalograms obtained from a mixed group of individuals, clinically classified as normal, schizophrenic, and "frank" epileptic, show the following characteristics: 1. A rather closely regulated potential oscillation which remains predominant throughout the sample of record under study. 2. Associated with this dominant cycle other definite anharmonic cycles are clearly evident. These associated cycles may operate in intermittent sequences or simultaneously with the dominant cycle. Subjects with "atypical" epilepsy show an apparently characteristic spread of low intensity cycles.     

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF MICROVILLI IN THE EPITHELIUM OF SMALL AND LARGE INTESTINE OF MICE

A comparative analysis of the fine structure of the microvilli on jejunal and colonic epithelial cells of the mouse intestine has been made. The microvilli in these two locations demonstrate a remarkably similar fine structure with respect to the thickness of the plasma membrane, the extent of the filament-free zone, and the characteristics of the microfilaments situated within the microvillous core. Some of the core microfilaments appear to continue across the plasma membrane limiting the tip of the microvillus. The main difference between the microvilli of small intestine and colon is in the extent and organization of the surface coat. In the small intestine, in addition to the commonly observed thin surface "fuzz," occasional areas of the jejunal villus show a more conspicuous surface coat covering the tips of the microvilli. Evidence has been put forward which indicates that the surface coat is an integral part of the epithelial cells. In contrast to the jejunal epithelium, the colonic epithelium is endowed with a thicker surface coat. Variations in the organization of the surface coat at different levels of the colonic crypts have also been noted. The functional significance of these variations in the surface coat is discussed.     

He-Ne激光照射对血液及其组分荧光光谱影响的实验研究

为研究弱激光照射对人血液携氧能力的影响及机制,我们用荧光仪分别测量了He-Ne激光照射前后正常血液及其组分（血浆、红细胞）的荧光光谱,研究了激光照射导致的光谱变化,并分析了光谱变化与血液携氧能力改变的关系。实验结果显示：全血液标本在490nm及614nm附近有荧光峰值;血浆的荧光则主要分布在420－500nm之间;红细胞在500nm及614nm附近有荧光。He-Ne激光照射后,全血液及红细胞在614nm处的荧光谱都有较明显的变化,且较相似。由此可得出结论,He-Ne激光照射可影响血液的携氧能力。     

A STUDY ON THE ESTRADIOL-INDUCED AUGMENTATION OF A SPECIFIC CELL PRODUCT IN THE VAGINAL EPITHELIUM OF THE NEONATAL MOUSE

The epithelial content of an estradiol-sensitive immunological marker (CVA) has been quantified by mixed haemagglutination on tissue sections from the vagina of neonatal mice exposed to different schedules of estradiol treatment.
Daily administration of estradiol-17β (5 μg/day) was especially efficient in elevating the CVA content when the hormone was administered during the first four days after birth.
Following a single injection of estradiol-17β (5 μg in aqueous suspension) on one of the first five days of life, the vaginal epithelium reacted with a more vigourous CVA accumulation when challenged with estradiol at a later time. The effect was most pronounced for days 2 and 3. The possibility that this early effect of estradiol may involve other mechanisms than those operative in the estradiol action at later stages, is discussed.

花背蟾蜍(Bufo raddei Strauch)眼形态发生过程中角膜上皮表面结构的扫描电镜观察

扫描电镜观察表明,花背蟾蜍眼形态发生过程中角膜上皮细胞表面形态结构的变化,大致可分三个阶段。1.从神经管期至肌肉感应期预定角膜上皮表面无明显变化;2.在心跳期和鳃血循环期预定角膜上皮表面出现较多的细胞缢束和其下细胞表面的下陷;3.在以后各期,角膜上皮中纤毛细胞的纤毛逐渐退化消失,在右鳃盖封闭期纤毛细胞全部消失。上述变化与视网膜及其中光感受器的发育分化密切相关,纤毛的退化和消失更精确地反映了这种依赖关系,似可作为角??膜上皮分化的一个形态指标。

应用细胞化学的定性、定位,显微分光光度计定量分析的方法,测定人参不同部位皂甙对低代龄和高代龄人胚肺成纤维细胞内多糖类(PAS反应)、酸性非特异性酯酶(ANAE)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、单胺氧化酶(MAO)含量的影响,实验结果表明:人参根、果、茎叶皂甙(SRG、SFG、SSLG)使低代龄细胞的多糖类、MAO含量下降或上升,对ANAE台量没有显著影响。但对高代龄细胞,SFG、SRG、SSLG则显著增加了多糖类、ANAE、ALP、ACP的相对含量,同时降低了MAO的含量。本文提示,人参不同部位皂甙均可以提高衰老细胞内多糖类,ALP、ACP、ANAE的相对含量,降低MAO的含量,而对年青细胞的影响则很不一致。     

FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON THE OCCURRENCE OF NEXUSES IN BENIGN AND MALIGNANT HUMAN CERVICAL EPITHELIUM

An estimate is made of the frequency of occurrence of nexuses ("gap junctions") in a spectrum of human cervical epithelia, ranging from normal to malignant, since a deficiency of nexuses may be important in abnormal cell-to-cell communication in malignant tissues. The normal cervical epithelium has approximately ten nexuses per cell in the basal layer of proliferating cells and 200 nexuses per cell in the more differentiated intermediate zone. Nexuses are rare between invasive malignant epithelial cells (carcinoma cells). In many areas of cell proliferation near the edge of the tumor mass, fewer than one nexus per cell is present. However, up to four nexuses per cell can be found in some well differentiated regions of invasive carcinoma. Preinvasive malignant epithelia (severe dysplasia and carcinoma-in situ) have as few nexuses as invasive carcinoma. In abnormal but benign epithelia (squamous metaplasia and mild dysplasia), nexuses are abundant. The data indicate that a decrease in number of nexuses correlates with the severity of the morphological alteration in the dysplastic epithelium. Also the deficiency of nexuses in groups of carcinoma cells can occur many cell generations before the development of invasion of the malignant epithelium into the connective tissue. The diminution of nexuses before invasion suggests that a deficiency of nexuses may be one of the important factors in eventually permitting the development of the diffusely infiltrating type of invasion which is characteristic of highly malignant tumors such as squamous carcinomas.
