雌性空怀双峰驼生殖道的形态结构

应用组织学方法观察了雌性空怀双峰驼生殖道的形态结构。结果显示，双峰驼生殖道的基本结构与其他哺乳动物相似，但微细结构有差异。双峰驼输卵管粘膜皱襞极其发达，分支多而呈复杂的网状迷路。皱襞基部的迷路酷似固有膜而存在腺体，迷路网格内常见细胞团块。虽然双峰驼怀孕时胎儿位于左侧子宫角，但左、右子宫角以及子宫体的组织结构基本相同。子宫内膜无肉阜，上皮下陷于固有膜内，形成大量长而弯曲的单管状腺。子宫颈固有膜浅层分布有许多小腺体，深层分布有成群的较大腺体。这些腺体为分支管状腺，腺上皮PAS强阳性。阴道粘膜上皮为复层上皮。从输卵管到阴道，粘膜上皮主要为单层柱状上皮，由纤毛细胞和分泌细胞组成，局部可见假复层柱状纤毛上皮。纤毛细胞由前向后逐渐减少，但在子宫颈仍可见到。粘膜上皮和腺上皮内夹有许多淋巴细胞或中性粒细胞，后段局部甚至见到这些免疫细胞浸润于上皮细胞间。固有膜内分布有大量淋巴细胞、中性粒细胞、肥大细胞、浆细胞和巨噬细胞，有时出现淋巴滤泡。     

Expression of different classes of immunoglobulin in intraepithelial plasma cells of the Harderian gland of domestic ducks Anas platyrhynchos

The Harderian gland of chickens contains numerous plasma cells and is considered as a peripheral lymphoid organ. Data about this gland in other avian species are scarce or inexistent. Considering that ducks show some unique characteristics regarding the immune system, which are important in evolutionary context, and that unusual location of plasma cells into the epithelium was recently described in primitive avian species, here we investigated the occurrence and characterized intraepithelial plasma cells in the Harderian gland of ducks, according to the immunoglobulin produced. Numerous intraepithelial plasma cells were found confined to the Harderian gland ducts. Plasma cells were also found in the ducts lamina propria. IgM-positive cells were the most abundant into the epithelium. In contrast, IgY- or IgA-positive cells were predominant in the lamina propria. The constancy of intraepithelial plasma cells in all specimens examined indicates that they may be essential mediator for an effective immunesurvaillance of the ocular mucosa.     

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue in the large intestine of calves. II. Electron microscopy

Scanning electron microscopy of lymphoid tissue in the large intestine of three germfree calves (age 3, 6, and 7 days) revealed two different units: propria nodules and lymphoglandular complexes (LGC). Propria nodules had lymphoid tissue predominantly in lamina propria and were covered by distinct follicle-associated epithelium which lacked goblet cells; nodules were surrounded by wide crypts, which were also lined by follicle-associated epithelium towards the luminal side. Lymphoglandular complexes had lymphoid follicles in the tunica submucosa; epithelial diverticulae extended through the muscularis mucosae branching into the lymphoid nodule. In centers of lymphoglandular complexes, protrusions of lymphoid tissue were covered with distinct follicle-associated epithelium. By transmission electron microscopy cells compatible with M cells in the small intestine of calves and cells with characteristics of both enteroabsorptive and M cells were found. Follicle-associated epithelium of propria nodules and lymphoglandular complexes differed only in the relative frequency of cell types.     

贝氏莫尼茨绦虫感染绵羊对小肠局部黏膜淋巴组织的影响

为了研究贝氏莫尼茨绦虫自然感染绵羊对小肠黏膜免疫组织的影响,分别从宏观、微观及亚微观水平对自然感染贝氏莫尼茨绦虫的成年绵羊(感染组)肠道进行了细致地观察,并与正常成年绵羊(正常组)进行了比较.结果显示,感染组肠道所见虫体平均长度为1.5m,头节主要吸附在空肠淋巴集结分布丰富的部位,一般寄生数量为1～2条.眼观,虫体寄生部位黏膜增厚,表面有大量灰白色黏液附着,其间可见点状出血.镜下,局部黏膜上皮脱落,而在完整的黏膜上皮处,其上皮细胞、上皮内淋巴细胞、杯状细胞的数量都明显增多;固有层内毛细血管充血,淋巴细胞、浆细胞、弥散淋巴组织以及肠腺杯状细胞均有不同程度的增生,头节寄生处部分肠腺坏死;黏膜下层淋巴小结、淋巴集结显著增生,部分增生凸入固有层形成新的圆顶区;固有层与黏膜下层以及黏膜肌层可见大量嗜酸性粒细胞浸润.扫描电镜下,感染组肠黏膜上皮脱落;贝氏莫尼茨绦虫头节呈椭球状,有4个吸盘,无顶突,小沟,表面覆盖一层致密的微绒毛.研究结果表明,肠黏膜增厚,主要是局部黏膜免疫相关细胞在寄生虫虫体表面覆盖的微绒毛的不断刺激下,机体抗感染自身组织增生所致.成年绵羊对抗贝氏莫尼茨绦虫的感染可能是通过黏膜免疫相关组织增生来加强局部免疫力而实现的.     

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue in the large intestine of calves. I. Distribution and histology

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) in the large intestine was characterized in 12 calves (10 to 84 days old) obtained at necropsy (7, group A) or healthy animals (5, group B). Patches of mucosal lymphoid follicles were in all calves at ileocecal entrances (ICE), 23-42 cm distal to the ICE in the proximal loop of the ascending colon (proximal colon [PC] patch), and in the terminal rectum. PC patches varied from 8 to 30 cm in length. Solitary lymphoid follicles were found in the cecum of three calves, between the ileocecal entrances and the PC patch in four calves, adjacent to the PC patch in all calves, and in the ampulla recti. GALT occupied 7.8% of the large intestinal wall in animals of group A: 0.6% at the ileocecal entrance, 4.8% in the proximal colon, and 2.4% in the rectum. There were two different types of mucosal lymphoid follicles in group B: propria nodules with lymphoid follicles predominantly in the lamina propria, and lymphoglandular complexes with lymphoid follicles in the submucosa. In three 3-, 6-, and 7-day-old, germfree calves, distinct follicle-associated epithelium covered propria nodules and covering folds in depths of the lymphoglandular complexes; it was characterized by numerous intraepithelial cells and lack of goblet cells.

Characterization of the gastric immune response in cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) with Helicobacter-associated gastritis

Captive cheetahs have an unusually severe progressive gastritis that is not present in wild cheetahs infected with the same strains of Helicobacter. This gastritis, when severe, has florid lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltrates in the epithelium and lamina propria with gland destruction, parietal cell loss, and, in some cases, lymphoid follicles. The local gastric immune response was characterized by immunohistochemistry in 21 cheetahs with varying degrees of gastritis. The character of the response was similar among types of gastritis except that cheetahs with severe gastritis had increased numbers (up to 70%) of lamina proprial CD79a+CD21- B cells. CD3+CD4+ T cells were present in the lamina propria, and CD3+CD8α+ T cells were within the glandular epithelium. Lymphoid aggregates had follicular differentiation with a central core of CD79a+/CD45R+ B cells and with an outer zone of CD3+ T cells that expressed both CD4 and CD8 antigens. MHC II antigens were diffusely expressed throughout the glandular and superficial epithelium. No cheetah had evidence of autoantibodies against the gastric mucosa when gastric samples from 30 cheetahs with different degrees of gastritis were incubated with autologous and heterologous serum. These findings indicate that T-cell distribution in cheetahs is qualitatively similar to that in other species infected with Helicobacter but that large numbers of lamina propria activated B cells and plasma cells did distinguish cheetahs with severe gastritis. Further research is needed to determine whether alterations in the Th1:Th2 balance are the cause of this more plasmacytic response in some cheetahs.     

Histological characteristics of induced acute peptic injury in equine gastric squamous epithelium.

The objective of the study reported here was to characterise the microscopic appearance of peptic-injured equine gastric squamous epithelium in relation to the duration of peptic injury. Erosions and ulcers were induced in equine gastric squamous epithelium using a feed deprivation protocol that results in prolonged increased gastric acidity. Specimens of normal gastric mucosa and mucosa with lesions created after 48 and 96 h of feed deprivation were compared for characteristics associated with angiogenesis and mucosal proliferation. Fifteen mature horses, 9 geldings and 6 mares, age 3-20 years, were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 5) had normal-appearing gastric squamous mucosal epithelium and had been killed due to problems unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract. Groups 2 (n = 5) and 3 (n = 5) had lesions induced in the gastric squamous epithelium by alternating 24 h periods of feed deprivation and ad libitum access to hay, for totals of 48 and 96 h feed deprivation, respectively. Following lethal injection of barbiturate, stomachs were removed and fixed by filling with 4-6 l 10% buffered formalin. Sections were made from lesions in the gastric squamous epithelium adjacent to the margo plicatus along the right side of the stomach/greater curvature and the lesser curvature. Measurements of total epithelial thickness, keratinised epithelium, nonkeratinised epithelium, epithelial projections, capillary extension into the epithelium and lamina propria thickness were made. The cross-sectional areas of arterial and venous vascular structures in the lamina propria at the lesions and their margins were measured using image analysis software. All horses, except one, in Group 2 developed erosions or ulcers in the gastric squamous epithelium after feed deprivation. There were several changes in the epithelium adjacent to erosions and ulcers, compared to normal epithelium, from horses in Groups 2 and 3: total epithelial thickness was significantly (P<0.05) greater, including both keratinised and nonkeratinised layers in most specimens; the length of epithelial projections and extent to which capillaries from the lamina propria extended toward the luminal surface, and the cross-sectional area of vascular structures (arterioles, capillaries, venules) in the lamina propria were significantly greater. Epithelial thickness of erosion beds was not significantly less than normal epithelium, although a greater proportion of the epithelium in erosions consisted of epithelial projections (Group 1, 23%; Group 2, 76%; Group 3, 72%). The cross-sectional area of vascular structures in the lamina propria beneath erosions was significantly greater than in normal mucosa only in Group 2 tissues, whereas in the lamina propria of ulcers it was significantly greater than in normal mucosa only in Group 3 tissues. The epithelial proliferation and increased vascular cross-sectional area in the lamina propria associated with peptic-induced gastric lesions are consistent with processes associated with the initiation of ulcer healing, and these changes temporally coincided with the initiation of peptic insult to the gastric squamous epithelium. These findings demonstrate that processes that promote ulcer healing begin soon after peptic injury and that they progress even with repeated peptic injury. Furthermore, our findings support observations that gastric ulcers often heal without medical intervention, and the theory that medications that reduce gastric acidity do not initiate healing, but rather facilitate ulcer healing by providing a microenvironment that is optimal for healing to proceed.

Observations on aggregated lymphoid nodules in the cardiac glandular areas of the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus)

Aggregated lymphoid nodules are an important part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). They are mainly distributed in the ileum and appendix of animals and humans but their distribution in the cardiac glandular area has not been reported. A study of stomach histology in the Bactrian camel has revealed that the nodules are distributed as a band-like region along the ventral wall of the stomach neck, at the beginning of the cranial enlargement and on the lesser curvature. The mucous folds are thicker in these regions than where there are no aggregated lymphoid nodules. The nodules appeared similar to ileal aggregated lymphoid nodules found in other animals and consisted of typical polymorphological lymphatic nodules arranged in a single continuous row occupying the submucosa and forming mucosal folds together with the mucous membrane. The whole mucous membrane with cardiac glands, diffuse lymphatic tissue and solitary lymphoid nodules in the lamina propria were found to cover the aggregated lymphoid nodule regions, but some nodules with a typical corona extended into the lamina propria and were covered with follicle-associated epithelium devoid of cardiac glands. These findings indicate that the stomach of the Bactrian camel possesses not only a special structure of digestion but also has characteristic immunological morphology.

Microscopic anatomy of the lower respiratory tract of the grey short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)

The respiratory tracts of seven grey short-tailed opossums were histologically examined. Six opossums were prepared by perfusion with buffered formalin. Opossum seven was perfused with gluteraldehyde. Samples taken from the respiratory passages and lungs of specimens 1-6 were stained with haematoxylin and eosin. A mixture of methylene and azure blue was used for specimen 7. The trachea and right and left principal bronchi are lined with a pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with occasional goblet cells. The secondary and tertiary bronchi and the primary and secondary bronchioles are lined by a simple ciliated columnar epithelium. The terminal bronchioles and a portion of the respiratory bronchioles are lined by a simple ciliated cuboidal epithelium. The terminal portion of the respiratory bronchioles and the alveolar ducts are lined with simple squamous epithelium. Alveoli are lined by type I and II pneumocytes. Tracheal glands are present in the tela submucosa. The fibromusculocartilaginous tunic of the trachea consists of c-shaped cartilage rings and the trachealis muscle. A lamina muscularis mucosa begins in the intrapulmonary portion of the principal bronchus and continues into the respiratory bronchioles. Bronchial glands are present in the propria submucosa and tela submucosa of the principal bronchi. The musculocartilaginous tunic is localized to the extrapulmonary portion of the principal bronchus. The bronchial cartilages are irregular shaped plates and limited to the extrapulmonary portion of the principal bronchus. The visceral pleura is a simple squamous mesothelium covering the outer surface of the lung.

Enteric pathology and Salmonella-induced cell death in healthy and SIV-infected rhesus macaques

The goal of this study was to morphologically characterize a ligated ileal loop model of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium infection in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) and to verify the occurrence of Salmonella-induced cell death in vivo. Eight adult healthy male rhesus macaques were used for ligated ileal loop surgery. Four macaques had been intravenously inoculated with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) mac251. Ileal ligated loops were inoculated with wild-type (WT) S. Typhimurium strain IR715 (ATCC14028 nal (r)), an isogenic noninvasive mutant strain (ATCC14028 nal (r) ΔsipAΔsopABDE2), or sterile Luria Bertani broth. Loops were surgically removed at 2, 5, and 8 hours post-inoculation (hpi). Intestinal samples were processed for histopathology, immunohistochemistry for detecting Salmonella, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL), and transmission electron microscopy. Combined histopathology scores were similar between SIV-infected and control macaques. As expected, the invasion-deficient mutant was less pathogenic than WT S. Typhimurium. Neutrophil infiltrate in the intestinal mucosa correlated with bacterial loads (r = 0.7148; P < .0001) and fluid accumulation (r = 0.6019; P < .0001) in the lumen of the intestinal loops. Immunolabeled WT S. Typhimurium was observed in the epithelium and lamina propria at the tip of the villi at 2 hpi, progressing toward deeper lamina propria at 5-8 hpi. Most TUNEL-positive cells localized to the lamina propria, and some had morphological features of macrophages. Ultrastructurally, bacteria were observed intracellularly in the lamina propria as well as within apoptotic bodies. This study provides morphological evidence of Salmonella-induced cell death in vivo in a relevant nonhuman primate model.

Morphogenesis of the Epithelium and the Lamina Propria of the Rumen in Bovine Fetuses and Neonates

Developmental changes in the mucous membrane of the rumen in bovine fetuses were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ruminal epitheliums were obtained from 20 bovine fetuses and 4 bovine neonates. The samples were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was examined in the epithelial surface by SEM. Group 2 was examined in the surface of the lamina propria and the reverse face of the epithelium by SEM, after having separate the epithelium from the lamina propria by Scallata's PBS-EDTA method. Group 3 was examined in histological aspect.
The ruminal papillae appeared first in early in the 5th month of gestation. On the other hand, the papillae of the lamina propria appeared first in early 4th month or late 4th month of gestation. It seemed that the formation of papillae in the lamina propria always preceded that of ruminal papillae. Meanwhile, some epithelial cells were exfoliated from the ruminal surface cells during late 4th month to early 5th month of gestation. Ruminal surface cells came to have keratohyaline granules from the 5th month of gestation onward.     

Einfluß der Ernährung auf den Papillarkörper der Pansenschleimhaut bei Kälbern

The purpose of this scanning electronmicroscopical study was to describe the structure of the lamina propria of the ruminal mucosa in calves on different diets.
The surface epithelium was removed with 0.3 % acetic acid. The exposed lamina propria showed structural differences, both macroscopically and microscopically in the different dietary groups. At the submicroscopic level, however, no differences were observed.
