早期猪胎儿卵巢的组织学观察

母猪怀孕后33-61d期间,是胎猪卵母细胞发生的关键阶段。为掌握这一时期卵巢上组织细胞的发育变化,试验采集妊娠33、40、46、54、61d的雌性胎猪卵巢进行苏木精-伊红染色。结果表明,妊娠33d胎猪卵巢表面上皮由1-2层细胞构成,实质见到卵原细胞和髓质索结构;妊娠40d时出现卵原细胞共质体结构和前细线期卵母细胞,髓质索状结构断裂;妊娠46d共质体样结构增多,卵母细胞进入前细线期和细线期。髓质索断裂成片段;妊娠54d时表面上皮由单层细胞构成,卵巢皮、髓可分,皮质中层见到合胞体样卵母细胞群,髓质相邻的皮质深层有一些原始卵泡正在形成;妊娠61d胎猪卵巢皮、髓界限清晰,皮质中层是大量合胞体样卵母细胞群,皮质深层出现了较多的原始卵泡,髓质中卵泡结构退化,卵母细胞发生核固缩。     

猪卵巢发育的组织学变化及卵泡闭锁规律研究

旨在对不同日龄猪卵巢组织结构以及卵巢发育过程中卵泡闭锁规律进行研究。取3、40、50、60、72、86、95及165日龄猪卵巢各3例,采用常规石蜡切片、HE染色和TUNEL技术检测卵巢组织结构及卵泡闭锁规律,结果表明,猪卵巢发育从组织学上可分为卵原细胞增殖期、卵泡缓慢生长期及卵泡快速生长期3个阶段。卵原细胞增殖期主要以卵原细胞的增殖分裂为特点;在卵泡缓慢生长期,原始卵泡的数量随日龄增加逐渐减少,初级卵泡数量及体积则明显增加;至卵泡快速生长期,生长卵泡的数量及体积继续增大,其数量在86日龄达到最大值;72日龄卵巢中出现三级卵泡,至95日龄卵巢中出现近成熟卵泡。在各时期的卵巢组织,均可观察到卵原细胞及卵泡的闭锁现象,以原始卵泡的退化最为显著。TUNEL检测表明,在卵原细胞增殖期,可见大量原始卵泡及初级卵泡的闭锁,其闭锁主要源自卵泡卵母细胞的凋亡。在卵泡缓慢生长期,各级生长卵泡均可出现闭锁,初级卵泡的闭锁主要由卵母细胞的凋亡引起,也有部分是同时伴有卵母细胞和卵泡细胞凋亡的;次级卵泡的闭锁则主要由于颗粒层细胞的凋亡所致。在卵泡快速生长期,随着卵泡的快速生长,各级卵泡的闭锁也变得更加明显,次级卵泡及三级卵泡的闭锁主要是由颗粒细胞凋亡引起。

应用免疫组织化学技术和图象分析方法对乏情期、怀孕期牦牛卵巢的促卵泡素受体(FSHR)、促黄体素受体(LHR)的表达特点进行了研究。结果表明,牦牛卵巢的皮质、髓质、颗粒层和膜内层、黄体中都分布有FSHR和LHR。且牦牛卵巢皮质、髓质中的FSHR光密度值在乏情期显著大于怀孕期(P0.05);怀孕期无黄体侧卵巢颗粒层和膜内层中FSHR光密度值均大于乏情期和怀孕期有黄体侧(P0.05)。怀孕期有黄体侧卵巢皮质处LHR光密度值最大,乏情期次之,怀孕期无黄体侧最小,各组间差异显著(P0.05);在怀孕期无黄体侧卵巢髓质处LHR光密度值显著小于怀孕期有黄体侧和乏情期(P0.05);在乏情期、怀孕期无黄体侧和怀孕期有黄体卵巢颗粒层和膜内层处LHR光密度值之间差异均不显著(P0.05)。表明牦牛卵巢中FSHR和LHR随着生殖阶段的不同而变化。     

Distribution and Heterogeneity of Mast Cells in Female Reproductive Tract and Ovary on Different Days of the Oestrus Cycle in Angora Goats

The physiological distribution of mast cells (MCs) in the reproductive tract and ovary of 12 Angora goats was determined using light microscopic histochemical techniques. Uterus (corpus uteri and cornu uteri), uterine cervix, uterine tubes (isthmus and ampulla) and ovary samples were obtained by laparatomy from groups of animals during metoestrus, dioestrus and proestrus (days 5, 10 and 16 of the oestrous cycle). Tissues were fixed in Mota's fixative (basic lead acetate) for 48 h and embedded in paraffin. Six-micrometre-thick sections were stained with toluidine blue in 1% aqueous solution at pH 1.0 for 5 min and alcian blue-Safranin at pH 1.0 for 30 min. MCs were generally associated with blood vessels in all reproductive organs. In the uterus, they were concentrated mainly in the close of the uterine gland and deep stroma in the endometrium. Higher MC numbers were observed by toluidine blue staining in the uterus, uterine cervix and uterine tubes on days 10 (corpus uterine: 4.7 ± 3.8 and cornu uterine: 4.9 ± 3.5) and 16 (corpus uterine: 5.9 ± 4.5 and cornu uterine: 5.4 ± 2.4) of the oestrous cycle compared with day 5 (p < 0.05). Mast cells were not observed in the follicles, the corpus luteum and the underside of the surface epithelium of the ovarian cortex, but were observed in the interstitial cortical stroma and the ovarian medulla. In the ovary, MC numbers were significantly higher on day 16 of the oestrous cycle (cortex: 3.4 ± 2.4 and medulla: 5.7 ± 4.5, p < 0.05). Safranin-positive connective tissue MCs were not observed in the uterine tube on any occasion. These results indicate oestrous cycle-related changes in the number and location of MCs in goat reproductive organs.     

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the equine ovary

The equine ovary has a very unique structure in terms of its extreme large size, the presence of the ovulation fossa and the inverted location of its cortex and medulla. In the previous study, it was recognized that the application of three-dimensional internal structure microscopy (3D-ISM) to observe the mare ovary is very effective. Three-dimensional reconstruction of serially sliced images made by 3D-ISM was successful in this study with the aid of the sophisticated image processing technique. The rotation of the reconstructed ovary has been carried out with and without the application of the transparency technique in the ovarian stromal region. The spatial localization of follicles and corpus luteum was clearly visualized by rotating the reconstructed image of the ovary. The extraction of the images of follicles and corpus luteum was also available and gave a quantifiable understanding of their structure.     

犬不同生殖周期阶段卵巢的组织结构观察

为了探讨犬卵巢组织结构和生殖周期阶段的相关性,试验对犬不同生殖周期阶段卵巢的外观形态和组织结构进行观察。结果表明,犬卵泡期、黄体期和乏情期卵巢体积分别为812.63、1081.80和446.03 mm³,黄体期高于卵泡期和乏情期(P＜0.05),卵泡期高于乏情期(P＜0.05);卵泡期、黄体期和乏情期卵巢质量分别为0.89、1.14和0.71 g,卵泡期低于黄体期且高于乏情期,但3者之间不存在显著性差异(P＞0.05);卵泡期卵巢中可见较多次级卵泡和少量成熟卵泡,黄体期卵巢中可见部分次级卵泡和闭锁卵泡,并有大量黄体存在,乏情期卵巢中卵泡类型主要以原始卵泡为主。可见,犬卵巢形态及组织结构与所处生殖周期阶段有关。     

Expression and localisation of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in developing rat ovary

Bcl-2 and Bax proteins localised mainly in granulosa cells. Primordial and primary follicles of new born rat ovary showed an intensive nuclear staining for Bax but faint staining for Bcl-2. In terms of staining intensity, no remarkable difference was observed within the same stage of developing follicle. Compared to new born rats, granulosa cells of adult and one month old rat ovary showed an increased staining both for Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. No staining was observed in primordial follicles of one month old and adult rats. However, granulosa cells of primary follicles, granulosa cells and theca cells in tertiary follicles of adult rat ovary also showed a strong staining for Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. Oocytes of follicles from different developmental stages revealed an apparent staining both for Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. However, in the more mature follicles oocytes stained more intensively. In developing corpus luteum a remarkable staining was observed for Bax. However, the staining was more prominent in regressing corpus luteum. Contrary to this, Bcl-2 stained the luteal cells in developing corpus luteum strongly, while in the fully developed corpus luteum no staining for Bcl-2 was observed. In conclusion, there was an apparent relation between the expression of the apoptosis regulating protein Bcl-2 and Bax and follicular development. Thus, during the follicular development Bcl-2 and Bax may be involved in granulosa cell demise in rat ovary. Furthermore, increased levels of Bax and decreased levels of Bcl-2 in the fully developed corpus luteum suggest that Bax plays a role in apoptosis of luteal cells in rat ovary.     

Erratum

This study describes the localization of progesterone receptors (PR) in the bovine ovary. Ovaries were obtained from 11 non‐pregnant and two pregnant cows. Progesterone receptors were visualized by immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections. Nuclear staining for PR was observed in cells of the follicles, corpora lutea, theca layers, surface epithelium, tunica albuginea, and in superficial and deep stroma cells. No staining was noticed in apoptotic bodies of atretic follicles. Expression of PR in follicle cells indicates an intrafollicular role of progesterone. The higher expression in thecal cells compared with follicle cells indicates that thecal cells mediate some effects of progesterone on the follicular development. Superficial stroma cells showing high expression might have a similar influence on primordial and primary follicles. In general, luteal cells had a lower expression than follicle cells, which may be explained by the down‐regulatory effect of locally produced progesterone. The lower expression in luteal cells during pregnancy can be due to the longer life span of this corpus luteum and concomitant degeneration of its PR. The high and rather constant expression of PR in cells of the surface epithelium remains to be elucidated.

Follicular development in cattle; changes in their count and size during the ovarian cycle

Follicular development was examined by transrectal ultrasound scanning in 12 heifers during 51 oestrous cycles. Internal diameters of largest and second largest follicles and the number of smaller ovarian vesicles were determined. Diameters of dominant follicles showed inverse growth pattern to the second largest follicles and numbers of smaller follicles (greater than or equal to 5 mm). There was an increase in diameters of the largest follicles from beginning of dioestrous to day 9 and from time of luteolysis to ovulation, which was coincident which a decrease in diameters of the second largest follicles and numbers of smaller ovarian vesicles. Smaller follicles increased in count and diameter, when the dominant follicle achieved its largest dimension and started to regress. The cyclic corpus luteum had no local influence on diameters of the largest and second largest follicles in the ovary bearing the corpus luteum versus the contralateral ovary. Internal diameters of oestrous follicles measured 14.7 +/- 2.6 mm in heifers and 15.3 +/- 2.9 mm in cows at the day of oestrous (p greater than 0.05; t-test). Dioestrous follicles with similar size were detected during various stages of the oestrous cycle. The diameter of the dominant follicle is not an accurate criterion for determining the stage of the oestrous cycle.     

藏绵羊卵巢组织学及卵泡超微形态的观察

旨在通过观察藏绵羊卵泡、黄体的组织学特征及卵泡的超微形态,探讨其与生理功能的关系。本研究运用大体解剖、常规组织切片和H.E染色及透射电镜技术对藏绵羊卵巢卵泡和黄体的组织结构特点以及卵泡的超微形态进行观察和分析。结果发现,藏绵羊黄体期和卵泡期卵巢的宽度和厚度存在显著差异（P<0.05）,而重量和长度无显著差异（P>0.05）;卵巢上的大多数卵泡通过颗粒细胞萎缩和纤维化而闭锁;黄体中膜黄体细胞（直径22 μm）和颗粒黄体细胞（直径50 μm）结构特征明显且分界清晰,其内部分布着丰富的毛细血管;通过观察卵泡的超微形态发现,随着卵泡的发育,卵泡细胞的形状由椭圆形变为多边形,数量增多且被膜细胞包围;细胞器数量和种类也增多且之间联系紧密,胞质可见分泌的皮质颗粒。结果表明,藏绵羊卵泡系统和黄体的组织学特点以及卵泡的超微形态与其他绵、山羊类似,随着卵泡的发育,血管增生较快,卵泡结构特征变化明显和细胞器致密化程度增加且卵泡在不同时期均会闭锁;黄体内部在毛细血管滋生下使两种黄体细胞结构更加完整且特征明显,这可能是藏绵羊在高原低氧环境下仍然能够发挥卵巢机能的重要基础保障。
