AbstractDamage produced by the multiple insertion of a needle into a mouse kidney results, in two days, in the stimulation of mitotic activity around the damaged areas, and in the cortex of the contralateral kidney. The mitotic activity in the contralateral kidney cortex approximates that seen after unilateral nephrectomy.Evidence is presented which suggests that the loss of kidney mass associated with the damage is not the cause of the increased mitotic activity in the damaged or contralateral kidneys. The release of stimulatingsubstances from the wound is probably required. This is in contrast to growth produced by unilateral nephrectomy where the loss of kidney mass is the initiating factor.

摘要:

AbstractThe topography of nasal glands in rats, guinea‐pigs, rabbits, cats, and monkeys was studied in osmium tetroxide and PAS‐stained whole mounts and ordinary sections. In rats Bowman's glands in the olfactory region were arranged in rows between the branches of the olfactory nerve. Mucous acini were only found on the rat septum in connection with Jacobson's organ, and serous acini were found on the septum posteriorly in the respiratory region, and on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity around the maxillary sinus ostium. No mixed glands were present. All the serous glands discharged their secretion through long excretory ducts into the ostium internum of the vestibule of the nose. In this area rats had 15–20 duct openings on each side. On the basis of considerations regarding airstream and pressure in the vestibule, the hypothesis is advanced that the openings act as small nozzles humidifying the inspired air by their atomized secretion. Since no serous or mucous glands in the rat open on the surface in the nasal cavity proper, it is concluded that the surface mucous sheet is derived exclusively from the goblet cells and Bowman's glands. In the other mammals the opening of the serous glands showed a similar pa

摘要:

AbstractAlterations in size and structure of submandibular and retrolingual glands of the rat produced by unilateral sectioning of the chorda tympani, or the lingual nerve, or the glandular branch which leaves the lingual and innervates both glands, are described. The glands were studied 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days after nerve section.The weight of the glands increased the first day after nerve section and decreased markedly from then on, reaching 40 to 70% of the initial weight after 16 days. In the glands where the chorda tympani or the lingual nerve were sectioned the increase in weight was attributed to the accumulation of secretion in the acinous cells. After that, a progressive atrophy developed, being more severe in the acini than in the tubes. In the cases where the glandular nerve was sectioned a wide necrosis probably of vascular origin was produced, followed by parenchymatous regeneration.In both cases 16 days after nerve section glands were small, fibrous and with little parenchyma.The role of the parasympathetic nerves in controlling the normal structure of submandibulars and retrolinguals is discussed.

摘要:

AbstractDetailed histological and histochemical studies were made on the effect of transection on the perineural epithelium of the peripheral nerves of rat and cat. Histologically and histochemically it has been shown that the perineural epithelium does not undergo any change in the proximal as well as in distal segments of these transected nerves and is maintained as seen in the untransected nerves. These studies also show that the capsule of the muscle spindle is made up of a continuation of the perineural epithelium and maintains its histological structure, as well as its enzyme equipment. Electronmicroscopic evidences are given for the normal maintenance of this epithelium in the regenerating nerve. The only structure which does not show any change when a nerve is transected is the perineural epithelium. It has been pointed out that the perineural epithelial tube plays an important role in conducting the regenerating axons within the neurilemmal tube to the proper sensory and motor endings.

摘要:

AbstractThe two uterine horns in the adult are joined caudally to form an externally undivided segment consisting of a cranial and a caudal part. The cranial part becomes wide and swollen at its junction with the horns. It contains two lumina separated by a midline septum and is designated as the uterine body or corpus. The narrow and slightly tapered caudal part projects into the cranial portion of the vagina. It contains a single lumen or canal and is designated as the uterine neck or cervix. The wall of the cranial two‐thirds of the adult cervix contains a relatively large amount of circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers. In contrast, its caudal one‐third consists chiefly of a network of collagen fibers. During cervical development argyrophilic fibers first appear in sections of cervical wall from mice sacrificed at birth. Collagen and smooth muscle fibers are first stainable with the Mallory method in cervical wall sections from mice one week old. During pregnancy and after combined treatment with estradiol, progesterone and relaxin the collagenous fiber bundles of the cervix become looser and more widely separated. This is associated with an increased dilatability of the cervical canal and increased stainability of the ground substance. The muccopolysaccharide(s) demonstrable histochemically in the cervix of the mouse was digestible with testicular hyaluronid

摘要:

AbstractVariable numbers of small lymphocytes with “atypical nuclei” have been shown to occur regularly in lymph nodes from normal animals. The present studies were carried out in explanation of these cells.Mice were injected subcutaneonsly or intraperitoneally with physiologic saline or isotonic glucose, and with solutions of various organic substances in glucose. The draining nodes were fixed at various intervals thereafter, and unstained sections were examined by light and polarized microscopy.These lymphocytes increased after all of the injections. The increments were moderate and of short duration after injections of saline and glucose alone, and the nuclei were morphologically similar to those found in the controls with the techniques employed. The increments were greater and more protracted after injections of most of the organic substances, and the morphology of the nuclei in polarized light differed from that of the normal. The effect on the morphology was influenced, in part, by the degree of solubility of the organic substance and the duration of exposure of the cells to it.The conclusion is drawn that lymphocytes with “atypical nuclei” represent response to lymph drainage, in general, while modifications of their characteristic nuclear morphology are indicative of specific biologic re

摘要:

AbstractNinety‐eight fetal specimens of the circulus arteriosus cerebri and adjacent arteries were injected with a mixture of latex and barium sulphate and dissected after fixation in formalin. Measurements of the intracranial part of the internal carotid artery were carried out and the measured diameters were compared to those of the other arteries at the base of the fetal brain. The diameters of the internal carotid artery were symmetrical and increased approximately linearly with fetal size from 0.7 mm for a fetus of 15.5 cm crown rump length to 2 mm in a specimen with 37.2 cm crown rump length. In one specimen, the intracranial part of the right internal carotid artery was smaller than the left. This was associated with an anomaly of the arterial circle. Twenty‐one circles were symmetrical and complete. The most significant differences between adult and fetal diameters were in the posterior part of the circle, the circular part of the posterior cerebral artery showing a relatively smaller average diameter (0.34 of the diameter of the internal carotid artery) than that described for adult specimens (0.47) while the posterior communicating arteries were of similar diameter (approximately 0.27) in both adults and fetuses. In three cases one posterior communicating artery was absent. No berry aneurysms were found upon inspection with a hand l

摘要:

AbstractAn infrahyoid, parapharyngeal method of hypophysectomy in the rabbit has been developed. This method is easily learned and the operation can be performed in less than an hour. Complete removal is verified by examination of the sellar contents either with a dissecting microscope or histologically by fixation, embedding and serial sectioning. The operative mortality is about 10%. No hormonal supplements are required postoperatively.
