    Notes: Summary A fine structural study of sternothyroid muscle spindles of young adult rat demonstrates the rare occurrence of unique nerve endings. These endings are situated in the juxta-equatorial region of nuclear-bag fibers, adjacent to the annulo-spiral sensory endings. They consist of a bundle of terminal axons less than 0.3 μ in diameter and appear to be disposed nearly longitudinally to the axis of the intrafusal fibers. Whereas, the annulo-spiral endings consist of a single axon, coiling around the intrafusal fibers. Transverse sections of these muscle spindles reveal these unique endings scattered around the muscle fibers, fitting into depressions on their surface. The innermost axons directly face the muscle surface and are separated by a narrow gap less than 200 Å in width. No Schwann cell process appears to be associated with these endings. From their unique multi-axonal composition, these endings are termed “bundled endings”. Investigations of developing muscle spindles show the occasional presence of a similar multi-axonal composition of sensory endings in perinatal rats. It is suggested that “bundled endings” are sensory in nature, carrying an immature feature over to adult life.

    Notes: Summary Ultrathin serial sectioning and labeling with tannic acid have demonstrated that most plasmalemmal vesicles of rat vascular endothelial cells are not free, but rather are conjoined in three dimensions to form racemose invaginations from the cell surfaces. To elucidate the distribution of vesicles in these microvascular endothelial cells, we have examined terminal arterioles, capillaries and post-capillary venules of rat skeletal muscle and brain cortex, using tannic acid labeling and stereological methods, and have determined the proportions of free vesicles and the vesicles of luminal and abluminal invaginations, as well as the numerical density of vesicles. In the case of capillaries, regional differences in distribution have also been studied. The ratio of free vesicles is 6–7% and is constant throughout the muscle microvasculature. The distribution (proportions and numerical densities) of vesicles in the brain and muscle microvascular endothelial cells shows regionally distinctive patterns. In rapid-frozen, freeze-substituted endothelial cells, there are almost as many fused vesicles as seen in chemically fixed cells. Therefore, aldehydes do not seem to induce membrane fusion, and the distribution of vesicles seems to be preserved by chemical fixation. The structure and function of plasmalemmal vesicles are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Axon profiles in thyroid glands obtained from adult male Wistar rats were studied electron-microscopically, using common and serial thin sections. Bouton profiles of nerve fibers, resembling the terminal or en passant type, often appeared closely associated with vascular smooth muscle cells via basement membranes. These structures are probably adrenergic, since they contained mainly small-core vesicles (mean diameter: 41.2 nm), in addition to a few large-core (mean diameter: 88.4 nm) and flattened vesicles. Nerve fibers containing microtubules and sometimes mitochondria and vesicles were seen lying between basement membranes and follicular cells. The incidence of nerve fiber contacts on profiles of follicular cells was 0.0177±0.0092 (S.D.). Using serial sections, follicles were seen to have up to two nerve endings, separated from the plasma membranes of the follicular cells by a gap of 22 nm. They contained mainly flattened vesicles and several large-core vesicles (mean diameter: 95.1 nm). Small-core vesicles were rarely seen in these nerve endings. Furthermore, subsurface cistern-like rough endoplasmic reticulum was found immediately under the plasma membranes of follicular cells facing membranes of nerve endings. These results suggest that the nerve fibers in contact with follicular cells are different from the adrenergic type.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of nerve fibers in molars, periodontal ligament and gingiva of the rat shows a complex pattern. Decalcified material including the alveolar bone was sectioned in three different planes and stained by means of immunohistochemistry for detection of the neurofilament protein (NFP); the immunoreactive neural elements were clearly visualized in three-dimensional analyses. NFP-positive nerve fibers formed a subodontoblastic plexus in the roof area of the dental pulp; some of them entered the predentin and dentin directly through the dentinal tubules. This penetration was found mainly in the pulp horn, and was limited to a distance of about 100 μm from the pulpo-dentinal junction. In the periodontal ligament, NFP-positive nerve fibers were found densely distributed in the lower half of the alveolar socket. Two types of nerve terminals were recognized in the periodontal ligament: free nerve endings with tree-like ramifications, and expanded nerve terminals showing button- or glove-like shapes. The former tapered among the periodontal fibers, some even reaching the cementoblastic layer. The latter were located, frequently in groups, within the ligament restricted to the lower third of the alveolar socket. A well-developed plexus of NFP-positive nerves was revealed in the lamina propria of the free gingiva, the innervation being denser toward the epithelium of the gingival crevice. The characteristic distribution of NFP-immunoreactive nerve fibers revealed in this study is discussed in relation to region-specific sensations in the teeth and surrounding tissues.

    Notes: Summary By removing connective tissue components with enzymatic digestion followed by HCl-hydrolysis, myoepithelial cells (MECs) of the terminal portion in a variety of exocrine glands of the rat were examined with the scanning electron microscope. The profile of MECs varied considerably from gland to gland; MECs in the lactating mammary gland have a few long cytoplasmic processes in close contact with those of adjacent cells forming a continuous network around the terminal portion. Those of the exorbital lacrimal gland are stellate with many thin radiating processes with tapered ends that terminate freely. MECs in the sublingual gland are characterized by a number of broad and extensive cellular processes. MECs in the submandibular gland are similar in appearance to those of the exorbital lacrimal gland, but with more extensive cellular processes that form a more or less continuous network with those of the adjacent cells. No MECs were observed on the terminal portion of the parotid gland where the cells appear to be lodged on the intercalated duct. The relative surface area covered by MECs per terminal portion was also found to vary significantly, being 24% in the lactating mammary, 17% in the exorbital lacrimal, 48% in the sublingual, and 25% in the submandibular glands. The findings are discussed in relation to the physical properties of secretions in different glands.

    Notes: Summary In numerous investigations using cultured smooth-muscle cells, investigators have consistently added 10–20% fetal calf serum (FCS) to the medium to maintain viable cells. In the present study we utilized an optical technique to investigate whether smooth-muscle cells, cultured with or without FCS, maintain their contractile activity in vitro. With such optical measurement, we were able to detect signals due to spontaneous contractions, in muscle cells cultured in FCS-free medium for up to 8 days, and, for the first time, were also able to observe the conduction of these cell contractions. The ultrastructural characteristics of cultured smooth-muscle cells during contractile activity, were also examined by electron microscopy. The cells were mature and well-differentiated, and were packed with numerous myofilaments. They had developed long cell processes, and were linked to one another by gap junctions. These observations indicated that the smooth-muscle cells, cultured without FCS for 7 to 8 days, were morphologically mature and maintained their contractile activity, whereas the cells cultured in FCS-containing medium showed no detectable signs of contractile activity.

    Notes: Summary Nervous elements in the periodontal ligament and dental pulp of rat incisors were investigated by means of immunohistochemistry for neurofilament protein (NFP) and glia-specific S-100 protein. The periodontal ligament in the incisors was densely innervated by NFP-immunoreactive nerve fibers; the distribution of the nerve fibers and their terminations differed markedly from those in molars. NFP-positive, thick nerve bundles entered the lingual periodontal ligament through slits located in the mid-region of the alveolar socket, and immediately formed numerous Ruffini-like corpuscles. In the labial periodontal ligament, all of the NFP-immunoreactive nerve fibers terminated in free endings. The restricted location of the stretch receptor, Ruffini-like corpuscle, in the lingual periodontal ligament appears to be an essential element, because this region is regularly extended during mastication. The nervous elements were restricted to the alveolar half of the periodontal ligament in every region; they avoided the dental half of the periodontal ligament, which presumably moves continuously with the tooth. Pulpal nerve fibers in incisors also showed a characteristic distribution different from those in molars; individual nerve fibers with beaded structures ran in the center of the pulp toward the incisai edge, and did not form the subodontoblastic nerve plexus of Raschkow. Immunostaining for S-100 protein revealed a distribution pattern of nervous elements similar to that for NFP, suggesting that the nerves supplying the periodontal ligament and dental pulp were mostly covered by a Schwann sheath.

    Notes: Summary Subcellular structures of hepatocytes in periportal and perivenous zones were examined during 24 h. The volume, surface and numerical profile densities of cytoplasmic organelles were analysed morphometrically. Most subcellular structures in periportal and perivenous hepatocytes were subject to strong circadian variations. In hepatocytes from both zones, the volume densities of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER), mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, polysomes and lipid droplets demonstrated peak values at 16.00 h, 20.00 h or 00.00 h; trough values were at 04.00 h, 08.00 h, or 12.00 h, except for peroxisomes (16.00 h). However, the volume densities of glycogen granules and rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) in periportal and perivenous hepatocytes exhibited maximal values at 04.00 h, 08.00 h or 12.00 h and minimal values at 20.00 h. The surface densities of sER, mitochondria, lysosomes and peroxisomes, and the numerical profile densities of mitochondria, lysosomes and peroxisomes in periportal and perivenous hepatocytes showed similar trends. These events suggest that membranes of the rER show a partial correlation with the sER, mitochondrial and lysosomal membranes during the 24-h span. This may involve the interaction between ribosomes and rER. Almost all cytoplasmic organelles examined displayed significant differences between periportal and perivenous hepatocytes, morphometrically and in fine structure, indicating that the morphofunctional variability of hepatocytes differs depending on the location in the liver acinus.

    Notes: Summary The rat retina was studied by immunohistochemistry with antibody to S-100 protein during the first three postnatal weeks. Immunoreactive astrocytes are first detected subjacent to the inner limiting membrane close to the optic disc. They gradually increase in number and spread toward the ora serrata along the inner surface of the retina as the development proceeds. S-100-immunostained Müller cells are first identified on the 12th postnatal day although their immunoreactivity is much weaker than that of astrocytes at the same stage. This differential intensity of the immunoreactivity of the two cell types facilitates observation of the entire shape of the astrocyte. This characteristic reveals that cellular investments of blood vessels in the inner retina are formed by astrocytic processes whereas those in the outer plexiform layer are derived from processes of Müller cells. The cellular investment becomes complete by the 18th postnatal day.

    Notes: Summary Subcellular structures of hepatocytes were examined at 11.00 h and 23.00h (light cycle: 06.00h–18.00h) in four adult male Wistar rats (AF/Han) per time period. 1. The volume density of mitochondria in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes obtained from peripheral parts of liver lobules shows a statistically significant difference between the two time periods examined. 2. Tubular structures arising from the outer mitochondrial membrane are clearly demonstrated. Their cisternae are continuous with the interspaces between outer and inner mitochondrial membranes. 3. These tubular structures often open directly into the cisternae of rough or smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (rER and sER) and form a “bridge” between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. 4. At 11.00 h, the rER connected with the tubular structures often possesses very few ribosomes; at 23.00 h, the amount of ribosomes on the rER is substantially greater. Furthermore, at 23.00h ribosomes are also occasionally found on the membranes of the tubular structures. 5. The incidence of tubular structures on the outer membrane of mitochondria varies significantly between the two time periods. 6. The changing pattern of the volume density of mitochondria in the cytoplasm parallels that of the incidence of the tubular structures, i.e., both are high during the active phase and low during the resting phase of the rat. 7. These results suggest that the tubular structures may play an important role in protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and in the rearrangement of rER during a 24-h period.
