The resected synovia regenerated considerably 3 weeks after synovectomy. However, 44 weeks following excision, their surface morphology was still very different from that of the normal tissue of intact animals. The regenerated synovia were characterized by three main features: the large number of various patterns, the many fields harboring fibrillation and the almost total lack of a bubble layer (the latter was formerly shown to be predominant on normal, intact synovia). The surface morphology of the non-operated (contralateral) knee differed greatly from that of normal synovia. The surface of sham-operated synovia was totally covered by the bubble layer. The appearance of vast fields harboring fibrillations indicated deficient ultrastructural regeneration. The altered surface morphology of the contralateral synovia was a novel finding. We wonder whether it would be appropriate to propose that the systemic reaction induced by synovectomy of the experimental knee initiated the synovial appearances recorded on the contralateral knee. The data reported here rule out the possibility of using the contralateral leg as an intact control.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 2","pages":"371-83; discussion 383-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20724203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Samples were fixed, stained and embedded in resin blocks as with preparation for the transmission electron microscope (TEM). Blocks were trimmed to center the specimens in a trapezoidal face of up to 5 mm2 and their sides painted with conductive silver paint leaving the face uncovered. Blocks were sputter coated with 6-8 nm of silver, chromium or aluminum, with aluminum providing the best specimen contrast in BSE mode. Samples were examined in a field emission scanning electron microscope operated at a high emission current of 50 microA. Both the fixation protocol and microscope operating parameters were optimized to maximize the number of BSE available from the smallest probe. An accelerating voltage of 10 keV was found optimal for resolution and contrast. The technique allowed the direct visualization of embedded samples at resolutions beyond light microscopy with good contrast, without cutting sections, and avoiding grid bars obscuring areas of interest. The two dimensional images provided averaged information on the internal structures of the specimens in relation to the predicted emission depth of the BSE. The technique could be used for rapid diagnostics in pathological examinations, or for routine preselection of areas of interest within a sample face before final trimming for ultrathin sectioning for higher resolution TEM study.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 1","pages":"111-8; discussion 118-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20724359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Adhesion and endocytosis of calcium oxalate crystals on renal tubular cells.","authors":"Y Kohjimoto, S Ebisuno, M Tamura, T Ohkawa","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The present investigation was designed to study interactions between Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals and to clarify the significance of these crystal-cell interactions in stone pathogenesis. MDCK cells cultured in the presence of COM crystals showed a time-dependent uptake of crystals; this was specific for COM crystals. In the dynamic model system designed to study these phenomena under more physiological conditions, COM crystals adhered to the cell surface and were subsequently internalized. In this endocytotic process, the microvilli of the cell appeared to play an important role. The observation by scanning electron microscopy of complexes consisting of aggregated COM crystals and cell debris led us to speculate that adhesion and endocytosis of crystals might provide the calculus nidus for aggregation and retention of crystals in the renal tubule. Furthermore, glycosaminoglycans and the macromolecular fraction of human urine were shown to have the ability to inhibit the cellular uptake of crystals. Evidence that similar processes may also occur in vivo was obtained using an experimental stone model in rats. Our experiments revealed that most of the COM crystals adhered to the tubular cells and some crystals were endocytosed by the cell. Thus, these crystal-cell interactions might be one of the earliest processes in the formation of kidney stones. Further elucidation of the mechanism and the regulatory factors involved in this process may provide new insight into stone pathogenesis.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 2","pages":"459-68; discussion 468-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20725329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gonadal subepithelial capillary network was located at the level of the tunica albuginea under the covering epithelium. The casts showed a densely-meshed capillary network and numerous sprouting (nodular protrusions or capillary sprouts) and non-sprouting (enlarged vessels and angiogenic holes) angiogenic structures that were randomly distributed and mixed. Four types of angiogenic holes were encountered in the casts: primary (diameter < 2.5 microns), secondary (diameter > 2.5 microns), tertiary (variable diameter and circular narrowings on one side), and open angiogenic holes. We suggest that the different morphologies reflect evolution of these holes. Furthermore, the open angiogenic hole would probably either form nodular protrusions at its open ends, which tend to join with other nodular protrusions and neighboring capillaries and form new vessels; or there would be fusion with two or more neighboring open holes. Correlative critical point dried sections showed fenestrations in the capillary walls and transcapillary pillars that corresponded to the angiogenic holes found in the casts. Ultrathin sections of the vessels presented typical characteristics of growing endothelium: large nuclei with loosely textured chromatin, abundant cytoplasm rich in cell organelles and intraluminal endothelial processes.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 3","pages":"859-71; discussion 871-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20725711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed: (1) addition of G872 significantly enhances urinary inhibitory activity and negative zeta potential values; (2) re-addition of the CPC to UFU completely restores urinary inhibitory activity; and (3) artificial urines prepared by mixing UMS'10,50,90 from THPFU with UFU differed in inhibitory activity from that prepared by mixing UMS10,50,90 from a pooled normal urine with UFU. Based on these experimental results, the following speculations can be made: (1) normal human urines are considered to be a protective colloidal system; (2) urinary inhibitory activity originates mainly from CPC and/or UMS; (3) normal THP is a protective material to maintain urinary inhibitory activity; and (4) mutual interaction between urinary inhibitors may change the total urinary inhibitory activity.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 2","pages":"401-11; discussion 412-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20724204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognition and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. 凋亡细胞的识别和吞噬作用。

{"title":"Recognition and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.","authors":"L Dini, M T Ruzittu, L Falasca","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Physiological elimination of unwanted cells within the organism occurs via cell death by apoptosis and phagocytosis of these cells represents a key event in the apoptotic process. Macrophages, which are the dedicated phagocytes, and other occasionally phagocytic cells ingest the apoptotic cells while they are still intact, thus preventing the leakage of potentially harmful materials from the dying cells. Although evidence has been presented that the elimination of apoptotic bodies from the tissue operates by means of specific recognition systems, the molecular mechanisms by which an apoptotic cell is recognized are poorly understood. Recent data indicate that phagocyte recognition of apoptotic cells involves at least four classes of receptors on the phagocyte surface. On the other side, dying cells may display different signals to signal their status. Exposure of phosphatidyl serine (PS) on the surface of apoptotic lymphocytes triggers their specific recognition and removal by macrophages. Apoptotic thymocytes are also identified by altered lipid packing on their surface. Different populations of macrophages use either the vitronectin receptor or the PS receptor to recognize and remove apoptotic cells. It has been suggested that the asialoglycoprotein and the galactose-specific receptors of healthy hepatocytes and sinusoidal liver cells are implicated in the engulfment of apoptotic hepatocytes, likely in cooperation with other hepatic carbohydrate-specific receptor systems. The purpose of this review is to examine current knowledge of the mechanisms by which phagocytes recognize and ingest apoptotic cells.","PeriodicalId":21502,"journal":{"name":"Scanning microscopy","volume":"10 1","pages":"239-51; discussion 251-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20724292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
