Cells fixed in suspension display a thicker glycocalyx, which is supposed to be due to a contraction of the cells before fixation. Tissue extracts from rapidly growing tissues (mammary gland of pregnant cows, tumour tissue) cause a significant reduction of the glycocalyx in transformed hamster fibroblasts and Huggin-tumour cells after an 18-hour period of action. These findings are in accordance with previous findings on the glycolytic effect of tissue extracts on sections of cartilaginous tissue.

We have cultured sub-strains of the same normal human foetal fibroblast strain, separated but in a common dish with a common medium. One sub-strain was forced by infrequent transfers to grow slowly, the other was transferred frequently and grew freely. At intervals, cell kinetics of the strains was registered by time-lapse photography. The results indicate that ageing in vitro, manifested by changes of cell kinetics, and the total life span in vitro for normal human fibroblasts are dependent on the number of passed cell divisions, supporting the idea of a progressive decay of the transcription mechanism. A trial to postpone ageing of normal human foetal fibroblasts in vitro was made by adding nucleic acids, extracted from other organs of the same ovum, to the medium for 7 to 14 transfers. Four to 18 transfers after the end of the treatment, the cells still revealed a kinetic pattern typical of much younger normal strains, pointing to an influence on the genes. The effect is probably due to the DNA of the nucleic acid extract.</p>","PeriodicalId":76308,"journal":{"name":"Pathologia Europaea","volume":"10 3","pages":"215-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12364341","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}

In addition to the external wound caused by the burn itself, pathological changes were observed macroscopically and microscopically in various body organs, mainly the kidneys. These were investigated under the electron microscope for subcellular alterations at their damaged sites, and for biochemical aberrations that were observed in those rats. In the phosphorus-burnt rats the glomeruli were ischemic, showed capillary collapse and exhibited proliferation of mesangial areas and basement membrane thickening. Many necrotic cells were observed in the proximal tubule, where large vacuoles containing myelin-like structures were identified. The lumen of the proximal tubules were completely occluded by cell debris and the cytoplasm was necrotic. Due to the damage caused to the glomeruli, high concentrations of serum urea, serum SGPT and PO-4 were assayed in the phosphorus-burnt rats. These changes may account for the high mortality rate after phosphorus burns and may further understanding of the damage as well as ways of approaching it.</p>","PeriodicalId":76308,"journal":{"name":"Pathologia Europaea","volume":"10 2","pages":"145-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12364336","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}
