    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the normal human rete testis was analyzed. The rete testis cavities are irregularly shaped and contain virtually no spermatozoa. Smooth muscle cells often surround the cavities. In the epithelial lining, two cell types are distinguishable. Flat, dark cells exhibit numerous slender microvilli, and numerous apical and basal microvesicles. Prismatic, lighter cells have more cell organelles, mostly polarized towards a supranuclear position. Both cell types contain variable amounts of glycogen and fat, and an occasional cilium. All cells display intricate lateral cell surfaces that possess different cell-to-cell attachment devices. Intermediate cell types are frequently found. On a morphological basis, the epithelial cells seem to be involved in the release of substances into the lumen and probably also in transport towards the base. Connective tissue elements are found subjacent to the epithelium. Scattered among the fibrocytes are typical smooth muscle cells. Expansions of some smooth muscle cells are connected to the epithelial basement membrane by a network of microfibrillar material. The smooth muscle cells may be involved in changing the shape of the rete testis channels, thus promoting the flux of the rete testis fluid. Different types of nerve fibre bundles are distinguished in the connective tissue of the rete testis which may correspond to autonomic and sensory nerves or sensory receptors.

    Occurrence of enzymes of free radical metabolism suggests the possible cytotoxic capacity of the transitional epithelium of the human ureter (1997)

    Notes: Abstract. Three enzymes, viz., tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), nitric oxide synthase I (NOS-I), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), involved in the production and metabolism of free radicals or radical equivalents, were demonstrated by immunocytochemistry in the urothelium of the ureters of six patients of various ages. Two of these enzymes (TRAP and NOS-I) were colocalized in the most apical and lateral border of the superficial cells of the urothelium. In contrast, SOD showed a patchy or granular distribution within the supranuclear region of these cells. Intra- and subepithelial macrophages exhibited a weak TRAP, but no NOS-I or SOD, immune reaction. On the basis of the immunocytochemical findings, arguments in favor of a cytotoxic function of the superficial cells of the human urothelium are presented.
