STZ was given (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, single dose) to the rats to induce and constitute a diabetes model. After 1 month of STZ, resveratrol (10 mg/kg) was given for 15 days. Then the kidneys were evaluated histopathologically and the leptin and sirtuin 2 expressions were analyzed immunohistochemically.Results: High glucose and fewer weight levels were seen in the STZ-induced diabetes mellitus group. The glucose levels in the RSV-administered diabetic group showed a tendency to decrease but not significantly. Decreased signs of histopathologic kidney damage was seen in the RSV-administered diabetic group, and an increased expression of leptin was seen in the diabetic kidney tissues. There were no significant differences of sirtuin 2 expression levels among the groups.Conclusion: It was observed that resveratrol caused changes in the diabetic kidney histology and leptin expression level. Resveratrol may be effective, with its antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, in the prevention of kidney damage caused by long-term hyperglycemia.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"37 4","pages":"243-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34107131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combined Alcian blue and Periodic acid-Schiff sequences immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting were performed to determine glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation and laminin expression in control and tunicamycin-treated embryonic and postnatal thymi. The apoptotic effect of tunicamycin was evaluated by TUNEL assay.Results: In the control group acidic GAGs first appeared in medullary cells at postnatal day 3, whereas treatment with tunicamycin promoted the accumulation of acidic GAGs in all treated groups as of embryonic day 17. However, tunicamycin slightly decreased the laminin expression, and the number of apoptotic cells was considerably increased after tunicamycin treatment.Conclusion: Results suggest that carboxylated and acidic GAGs are two presumptive candidates to establish the thymic microenvironment during the late fetal development and postnatal periods of mice and that tunicamycin would be implicated in this establishment by increasing the acidic GAG accumulation and by reducing the laminin expression and the thymic stromal cell population.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"37 4","pages":"252-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34107132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The release of renin is related to the Ca2+ levels of the intracellular and extracellular spaces of the afferent arterioles. The L-type calcium channel blockers have a stimulatory effect on the renin system. The immunohistochemical signal of the antibody against the L-type Ca2+ channels was estimated stereologically.Results: In the diabetic kidney the relative number of L-type Ca2+ channels on the surface of the renin-positive cells of the afferent arterioles was significantly increased. In the normal kidney there was a difference in the relative number of L-type Ca2+ channels on the surface of the endothelial cells between the renin-positive and renin-negative profiles of the afferent arterioles.Conclusion: The increment in the number of Ca2+ channels on the renin-positive cell surface in the diabetic kidney could be related to the high renin granularity of the afferent arterioles. In the normal kidney the differences in the number of L-type Ca2+ channels on the endothelial cell surface may play a role in the higher permeability of the renin-positive part of the afferent arterioles.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"37 4","pages":"214-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34107127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, all images were processed for size uniformity and high distinguishability between the cell and background area. Then, a blank image with the same size and grids was established and cross points of the grids were added into a distinct color. The blank image was merged into a processed image. In the merged images, the cells with 1 or more cross points were chosen, and then the cell areas were enclosed and were replaced in a distinct color. Except for chosen cellular areas, all areas were changed into a unique hue. Three observers quantified roundness of cells in images with the image preprocess (IPP) or without the method (Controls), respectively. Furthermore, 1 observer measured the roundness 3 times with the 2 methods, respectively. The results between IPPs and Controls were compared for repeatability and reproducibility.Results: As compared with the Control method, among 3 observers, use of the IPP method resulted in a higher number and a higher percentage of same-chosen cells in an image. The relative average deviation values of roundness, either for 3 observers or 1 observer, were significantly higher in Controls than in IPPs (p < 0.01 or 0.001). The values of intraclass correlation coefficient, both in Single Type or Average, were higher in IPPs than in Controls both for 3 observers and 1 observer.Conclusion: Processed with Adobe Photoshop, a chosen cell from an image was more objective, regular, and accurate, creating an increase of reproducibility and repeatability on morphometry of A549 cells in epithelial to mesenchymal transition.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"37 3","pages":"159-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34284579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, 36 slides were stained: 1 according to standard procedure and 35 with some variation in the durations or dilutions used for the staining process. For hematoxylin and eosin (20 slides) and Van Gieson (20 slides) stains, colonic mucosa and liver tissues were used. Digital images without normalization were taken by a CCD camera connected to a light microscope and stored on a computer. A software tool was developed in order to find the histogram difference between 2 CTIs and transfer the difference to the STI for achieving a corrected STI (corSTI). sSTI (1 image) and STI and corSTI (for each image) were semiquantitatively scored by 2 observers in blind fashion, and the STI and corSTI scores were compared with the sSTI score. Total optic density (TOD) and median optic density (MOD) and intensity were also calculated by the software.Results: The STI semiquantitative score was equal to the sSTI in 23.5% of the image; this improved to 76.35% when the corSTI was compared to the sSTI. The concordance of TOD and intensity values of CD34-stained placenta images, as well as TOD and MOD values of H&E-stained colonic mucosa images, with the values calculated for the sSTI, increased following image correction.Conclusion: These results suggest that histogram transfer depending upon CTIs may be a valuable tool for color correction of tissue section images.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"37 3","pages":"177-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34284581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
