Immunohistochemical Study of Normal and Mange (S. scabiei var. rupicaprae) Infested Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.) Skin
Authors: Rode B. , Bavdek S. V. , Lacković G. , Fazarinc G. , Bidovec A. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe immunohistochemical study of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.) skin showed that a limited number of available monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies expressed reactivity with skin cell components. These included cytokeratins, vimentin, desmin, neuron‐specific enolase and S‐100 protein with almost the same distribution pattern as already described in the skin of humans and animals. Antibodies used for labelling skin‐associated lymphoid tissues and other cells with the immuno‐logic function in human skin failed to demonstrate these cells in the chamois skin with the exception of LCA and OKT6 antibodies. Epidermal Langerhans cells were reliably demonstrated only by the enzyme histochemical method for adenosine triphosphatase, while the majority of mononuclear cells in dermal infiltrates showed a strong immunoreaction with OKT6 antibody. The histologic and histochemical analysis showed that the dermal infiltrations in infested skin consisted of macro‐phages, lymphocytes, granulocytes, mastocytes and fibroblasts. The chamois skin affected with sarcoptes mange showed a significant loss of cytokeratins in the epidermis and its derivatives. Particular keratinocytes showing nonspecific staining with several antibodies were also described and discussed in this paper.
Immunohistochemical Demonstration of Cytoskeletal Proteins in the Testis of the Japanese Black Bear, Ursus thibetanus japonicus
Authors: Komatsu T. , Yamamoto Y. , Atoji Y. , Tsubota T. , Suzuki Y. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe seasonal changes of the cytoskeletal protein expressions were immunohistochemically investigated in the testes of Japanese black bear, Ursus thibetanus japonicus. A strong immunoreaction for α‐smooth muscle actin is restricted to the vascular smooth muscle cells and the peritubular cells which surround the seminiferous tubules by several layers throughout the year. Weak immunoreactions for B4 antigen and desmin were observed in the vascular smooth muscle cells and in a part of peritubular cells throughout the year. A strong immunoreaction for vimentin was also detected in the fibroblasts and Leydig cells, in addition to the vascular smooth muscle and epithelial cells and the peritubular cells throughout the year. A strong α‐tubulin immunoreaction was detected in the elongating spermatids during the acrosome phase of spermiogenesis in May and June. The cytoplasm of several Sertoli cells was faintly immunoreacted for vimentin in the basal and lateral region, while an intense α‐tubulin reaction was seen in the entire cytoplasm in May, April and June. In November, January and March, the immunoreactions for vimentin and α‐tubulin strongly accumulate in a perinuclear region of Sertoli cells when developmental spermatids are not seen in the seminiferous tubules. These accumulations in the immunoreactions for vimentin and α‐tubulin seem to be caused by the reduction in size of Sertoli cells cytoplasm with season. However, the seasonal changes of distributions in the cytoskeletal proteins are obscure in the bear testes. These results suggest that the contents of cytoskeletal proteins may not change in relation to the morphological differences with season in the testes of the seasonal breeders.
Muscle Development in Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus aurata, L.) and Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.): Further Histochemical and Ultrastructural Aspects
Authors: Lógpez‐Albors O. , Gil F. , Ramirez‐Zarzosa G. , Vázquez J. M. , Latorre R. , Garcia‐Alcázar A. , Arencibia A. , Moreno F. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe histochemical profiles ‐ mATPase and NADH‐TR reactions ‐ of the red and white muscle fibres of gilthead sea bream and sea bass were determined from the first week after hatching. Modifications of the mATPase technique by combinations of pH/time/molarity were carried out in order to compare the sensitivity of the myosin ATPase of each muscle fibre type of the lateral muscle. Results showed that the staining of muscle fibres was independent of small modifications in the technique. The intermediate ‘pink’ muscle was histochemically defined towards the end of the larval life and is considered to be implicated in the growth of the myotome. A layer of external cells was observed, by electron microscopical examination, between the connective tissue of the skin and the superficial red muscle fibres of larvae and postlarvae. It is suggested that the external cells are unlikely to be a source of red muscle fibres and implicated on the growth of the myotome, but rather a part of the dermatome. The timing, areas and mechanisms of hyperplastic growth of the myotome were defined and discussed.
Anatomicohistological Characteristics of Female Genital Tubular Organs of the South American Nutria (Myocastor coypus)
Authors: Felipe A. , Callejas S. , Cabodevila J. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryMorphohistological features of the tubular organs of the Myocastor coypus (coypu) female reproductive tract were studied. Specimens came from breeding farms with yard breeding systems. The analysis of the organs was made by histological methods and by macro and microscopic measurement techniques. The animals showed oviducts with macro and microscopically differentiable regions. Their mucosa showed primary branched folds in the ampullar sector. In the rest of the oviduct tract these folds were only of the primary type. The double uterus showed regional variations in the lumen, endometrial glands along the whole surface and a wide fibromuscular cervix with pseudoglands. The endocervical mucosa made clear a complex system of folds covered by a mucus‐secreting epithelium. In the long vagina of the coypu a folded, rugose and irregular mucosa was observed.
Light and Electron Microscopic Studies on Alpha Naphtyl Acetate Esterase Activity of the Periphral Blood T Lymphocytes in Van Cats
Authors: Yörük1 M. , Aslti R. N. , Kurtdede N. , Agaoglu Z. , Altunay H. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of peripheral blood T lymphocytes and the localization of ANAE enzyme at the electron microscopic level in Van cats by using an alpha‐naphtyl acetate esterase procedure. Peripheral blood samples taken from 20 Van cats were used. The percentage of ANAE positive lymphocytes was 83.0%. Neutrophilic gra‐nulocytes gave a negative reaction, whereas monocytes, eosinophilic granulocytes showed a diffuse granular positivity. In the electron microscopic examination, ANAE positive reactions were seen in lysosomal granules found in lymphocytes.
The Accessory Olfactory Bulb of the Mink, Mustela vison: a Morphological and Lectin Histochemical Study
Authors: Salazar I. , Quinteiro P. S. , Cifuentes J. M. , Lombardero M. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe distribution of binding sites for the lectins Ulex europaeus agglutinin I. Soybean agglutinin, Bandeiraea simplicifolia agglutinin I‐isolectin B4, and Vicia villosa agglutinin in the mink olfactory bulb was investigated. All lectins except Ulex europaeus agglutinin I bound exclusively and systematically to a single area of the olfactory bulb. This area corresponded to that in which the vomeronasal nerves terminate, indicating that it is the accessory olfactory bulb, as confirmed by microdissection and by the study of transverse and parasagittal series of the olfactory bulb. The results, moreover, indicate that the accessory olfactory bulb of the mink comprises three isolated eminences, the largest in the dorsal part of the olfactory bulb, and the other two in the lateral and medial parts.
The Distribution of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in Gastric Vagal Circuit of Rats
Authors: Lee H. S. , Lee I. S. , Kang T.‐C. , Seo J. , Lee B. H. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryIn the present study, we performed the retrograde tracing method using the neurotropic pseudorabies virus bartha strain (PRV‐Ba) and immunohistochemistry against CGRP, to identify whether CGRP exists in the gastric monosynaptic vagal circuit between dorsal motor nucleus of vagus nerve (DMV) and nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS).At the results, PRV immunoreactive neurons were found in both DMV and NTS. However, CGRP‐immunoreactive cells were present only in NTS, which contained no double‐labeled neurons for PRV and CGRP.These results suggest that CGRP may not have a neuronal function in gastric vagal circuit of rat.
Morphological and Functional Aspects of Reptilian Ultimobranchial Gland
Authors: Srivastav A. K. , Das V. K. , Srivastav S. K. , Sasayama Y. , Suzuki N. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe intention of this review is to compare studies on the morphology and histology (light and electron microscopic) of ultimobranchial glands of various groups of reptiles. Moreover, experiments (including our investigations) on suppression or stimulation of the ultimobranchial gland are included.Adult reptiles possess one (on the left side) or two ultimo‐branchial glands (UBG). The UBG lie just anterior to the heart. Light as well as electron microscopically, the gland has been shown to contain follicles and cell cords (cell aggregates). The follicular epithelium is lined by simple cuboidal or pseudo‐stratified columnar cells. Ciliated and goblet cells may be present in the follicular epithelia in some groups. The lumen may contain a colloid‐like substance with desquamated cells or debris. The UBG of reptiles seem to be an active secretory organ with influence on calcium regulation. Other functions of calcitonin have also been suggested in reptiles for example in neurotransmission, in volume regulation, phosphate balance and promotion of bone calcification (at least in juveniles).
Investigations on the Postnatal Development of the Macroscopic Proportions and the Topographic Anatomy of the Feline Spinal Cord
Authors: Maierl J. , Liebich H.‐G. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryThe aim of this work was to investigate the postnatal development of the feline spinal cord. Our study showed that the main period of growth leading to the cervical and lumbar enlargements begins after birth and is completed at the age of 5–6 months. Comparing the relationship between the length of the spinal cord and the vertebral column, we found that in contrast to the adult cat, in the newborn cat, length, area and volume of segments show similar values along the spinal cord. This also applied to the length of the vertebrae.Due to a heterogeneous growth, not all segments of the spinal cord end up situated cranial to their corresponding vertebrae. As a consequence, the end of the conus medullaris is still located within the sacral canal in animals older than 2 months. These findings strongly propose that injections into the vertebral canal of the cat have to be performed caudal to the sacral vertebrae.

Published: June 2007

SummaryA previously unreported pancreatic duct was found by Liu (1989) in Pekin ducks. This duct has now been consistently found in six breeds of domestic ducks and six species of wild ducks in China. For purposes of Nomina Anatomica Avium it is hereby called the ‘first pancreatic duct’(Ducius pancreaticus primus) since it enters the duodenum at or near the flexure where the descending duodenum becomes the ascending duodenum. All other pancreatic ducts enter the duodenum later, closer to where it joins the jejunum. This first pancreatic duct drains the caudal extremity of the dorsal lobe of the pancreas and can be easily exteriorized for experimental purposes. Within the parenchyma of the dorsal lobe of the pancreas this duct communicates with the dorsal pancreatic duct. In the present study of the gross anatomy of the pancreatic lobes of domestic and wild Chinese ducks we describe and illustrate variations in position and number of all biliary and pancreatic ducts.
SIGNIFICANT X‐RAY FINDINGS IN SOME DERMATOSES
Authors: Rauschkolb Ruth R. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryChanges in bone, soft tissue and the digestive and urinary tracts as demonstrated by radiographic examination have been correlated with selected dermatoses.Roentgenologic findings, clinical signs, the histopathology, and other laboratory observations have been collected in a few of these, chosen to illustrate the value of multiple system examination.Roentgenograms may further substantiate the diagnosis as in tuberous sclerosis or Sturge Kalischer Weber Syndrome. Identification of the, skin disorder may compel search, often by radiographic examination, for the heralded neoplasm in adult‐type acanthosis nigricans. Sometimes a skin lesion relates a less overt symptom to yield the diagnosis as in intussusception due to intestinal polyposis forecast by the mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation of Peutz Jeghers'syndrome.The presence of cutaneous signs and awareness of their established association with other systems may lead to the identification of the disorder as the syndrome of multiple nevoid basal‐cell epithelioma, jaw cysts, and skeletal defects.Usually, however, the chief reward for selective radiographic examination is the establishment of the systemic nature of the dermatosis and the reminder once again specialization is neither isolation nor fragmentation.The subject, ‘Significant X‐ray Findings in Some Dermatoses' was chosen for this very reason but quite aside and with apologies to Dylan Thomas I like to call it ‘Adventures in the Skin Trade’.

Authors: Entwisle Brian R. , Nurse David S. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryBecker's Melanosis and Hypertrichosis is a. condition occurring predominantly in young males between 10 and 15 years of age and is characterized by a distinctive brown pigmentation on the shoulders and thoracic area, often associated with overgrowth of hair. The area involved is unilateral and often extensive. After an initial period of two or three years during which the lesions increase in size and hairiness, the condition becomes stationary although there is evidence that the pigment slowly disappears in a few eases.Seven patients were observed with the condition during a two year period in Melbourne and their clinical and histological findings are presented together with a review of the literature.

The Treatment of Pustular Bacterid with Intramuscular Triamcinolone Acetonide
Authors: Rosten Morris 
Published: June 2007

SUMMARYSeven patients suffering from pustular bacterid were treated with intramuscular injections of triamcinolone acetonide aqueous suspension. All the patients responded to the treatment with suppression of signs and symptoms for periods varying from four to six weeks and even longer. Where corticosteroids had been previously administered orally, the intramuscular dose of triamcinolone calculated on a per day basis was one quarter of the oral dose. Side effects were minimal.

Published: June 2007

SUMMARYDemodex folliculorum and D. brevis have been found in taken from full‐blood Australian Aborigines. The incidence of demodicid infestations was highest among males, 66%, in two groups of Aborigines but the mites were absent in a third group.No regular correlation was found between the clinical appearance of the skin and the presence of the mites. One interesting case is mentioned.
Associated Dermatoses and Triggering Factors in Psoriasis*
Authors: Kocsard E. 
Published: June 2007

SUMMARYThere is a wide range of morphological variation of psoriasis which is due to structural and functional regional differences of the skin surface; to the frequent combination of psoriasis with other dermatoses; to the action of various triggering factors and to the changes produced by treatment of the dermatosis. For the understanding and management of the resulting complex psoriasiform dermatoses, an appreciation of the existence of these factors is essential.The patch of psoriasis offers resistance to impetiginization and to super‐infection by dermatophytes.The coexistence of eczema and psoriasis in the same lesion is common and may pass unsuspected. The combination of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis in the same individual is rarely seen.There is good reason to believe that patients affected by keratotic (Norwegian) scabies are psoriatics.Pityriasis rubra pilairs is not rarely a complex dermatosis in a psoriatic patient.Some forms of palmo‐plantar and linear keratoses are of hidden psoriatic nature.Due to modern methods of therapy (corticosteroids and antimetabolites) the number of the complex, atypical forms of psoriasis is on the increase.

Chocolate and Acne
Authors: Mackie Bruce S. , Mackie Leila E. 
Published: June 2007

SUMMARYAn account of the source, processing and composition of chocolate is presented. It is shown that chocolate liquor exhibits two exceptional dietary properties not possessed by any other food. Firstly, its lipid content of over 50% is uniquely stearie‐rich and, secondly, it combines a high lipid content with a significant concentration of xanthine alkaloids. Prepared chocolate possesses a third unusual dietary property, the combination of a high lipid content with a high sugar content. The work of Fulton, Plewig and Kligman (1969) is reviewed and it is suggested that their conclusion, that chocolate did not affect the course of their acne patients, requires revision because their calculations did not make adequate allowance for the dietary properties of chocolate. A hypothetical mechanism is described by which the constituents of chocolate may possibly aggravate acne.
LATE SEQUELAE OF ATABRINE DERMATITIS—A NEW PRE‐MALIGNANT ENTITY*
Authors: Bauer F. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryTen squamous cell carcinomata, mainly on the palmar surface of the hands, have occurred in patients who had had atabrine dermatitis during the Second World War. The lesions occurred only in those individuals who had developed a severe lichen planus‐like reaction to the drug, leading to anidrosis. Many years after the War these patients developed two active sequelae, namely, peculiar scaly red plaques and fungating warty growths. Practically all of these lesions, which were situated mainly on the hands, have become malignant after a time interval of many years. It is suggested that there is sufficient evidence to indicate that atabrine under certain circumstances, namely, in patients with tropical anidrotic asthenia, almost certainly induces skin cancer. It is thought that this is the first report in medical literature of the occurrence of these changes.

Authors: Dymock R. B. , van Deth A. G. , Dale B. , Parry W. D. H. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryA case of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis in a 21‐year‐old man is presented.Onset of the dermatosis followed sore throat, gastro‐enteritis treated with sulphonamides and trimethoprim, and signs of meningism.Accompanying the pronounced neutrophilic leucocytosis and dermal polymorph infiltrate, there was marked myeloblastic proliferation in the bone marrow. While distinction from acute myeloid leukaemia was difficult, there was a rapid response to steroid therapy.The findings emphasize that myeloid proliferation may be a central feature in at least some cases of acute neutrophilic dermatosis.

EFFECT OF NAFTIDROFURYL OXALATE (PRAXILENE) ON PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION MEASURED BY CALORIMETRY*
Authors: Tan O. T. , Gaylarde P. M. , Sarkany I. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryNaftidrofuryl oxalate (Praxilene), defined as a vasoactivator by Becker1 has been claimed to improve the circulation, particularly in patients with severe circulatory impairment. Several clinical studies2,3,4 have claimed improvement in circulatory disorders both as a result of oral and parenteral administration of Praxilene. In view of claims that Praxilene is devoid of side effects, such as hypotension and flushing produced by other vasodilators in general use, we decided to measure changes in blood flow in response to this preparation.
THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF FRACTURED HAIR IN ALOPECIA AREATA IN CHILDREN: ANOTHER CAUSE OF “BLACK DOT DISEASE”.
Authors: Keipert James A. 
Published: June 2007

SummaryExclamation mark hairs are usually described as the typical type of fractured hair in alopecia areata, but hairs that are fractured close to the scalp are more common in alopecia areata in children. They appear as black dots, similar to those seen in black dot ringworm. The only specific reference to this condition that was found in 40 text books of dermatology is in a book published in 1906.
