ABSTRACT
Cell morphometry method was applied in courting a nd analyzing 12 ultrastruc-ture morphological parameters of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosome from 10 female patients of the simple breast carcinoma in the late stage by pathological diagnosis． The best equation was set up with stepwise regression analysis was as follows: y=0.22+0.503N6-013N7． Due to above equation, selecting the best parameters were the surface density of free ribosome N6 and specific surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum N7． They could be used to distinguish the normal cell-apparatus from carcinoma cell-apparatus． These results show that N6 and N7 in varying degrees could provide fixed quantity basis for the prognosis of breast carcinoma．
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the possible causes for asymptomatic process of hepatic artery thrombosis in the patients following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods Hepatic functional tests, color Doppler ultrasonic observation, hepatic arteriographic examinations were done during the course of the development of the hepatic arteriothrombosis. All possible factors leading to the asymptomatic process were comprehensively analyzed. Results At the 4th postoperative day, thrombosis started to form along the anastomosis line. At the 21st postoperative day, the artery became completely thromboses. During this course, serial liver biopsy revealed introhepatic cholestasis, hydropic degeneration of hepatocytes, atrophy of the biliary epithelium and fibrosis in the portal area. Serial monitoring of liver function gradually revealed normal with the exception of elevation of r-GT and ALP. At the 71st day after OLT, arteriography showed that hepatic artery remained completely occluded, while the collateral circulation and compensatory expansion of the portal vein were established. The patient didn't have any symptoms of arterial thrombosis. Conclusions In this case, it was the collateral circulation and the compensation of the portal vein that made the allograft survive and helped to prevent the patient from retransplantation after hepatic artery thrombosis. Color Doppler ultrasonic examinations within 2 weeks following OLT were helpful to the early diagnosis of hepatic arteriothrombosis.
ABSTRACT
In this article,stereologic method was applied in analyzing 17 morphological parametera of cell, nucleus and nucleolus in 20 cases of mid stage and late stage of the simple carcinoma of breast (the stylebooks of EM photos were 320). We analyzed the difference of each sort of cell with T test and Q test. Compared with the normal cells, the cancer cells of mid stage were found obviously not only decreased in their nucleus surface density Svn and nucleus contrast surface density Sn but also increased in their nucleus average section An and nucleus average perimeter Bn. Compared with the cancer cells of the mid stage the cancer cell of the late stage were found obviously increased in their nucleus average volume Vn and Bn. Compared with the normal cells, the cancer cells of the late stage were found obviously not only decreased in their Svn and Sn but also increased in their Vn, An, Bn and nucleolus average perimeter Bu.
ABSTRACT
By electron microscopic observation,we found few pit cells in liver,spleen.lungs,and small intestine in Wistar rat.The pit cells show several morphologicalcharacteristics as follows:1.electron dense granules in cytoplasm,which aresurrounded by a limiting membrane;2.vesicles with rod shaped bodies incytoplasm;3.eccentric nucleus with marginal heterochromatin;4.well developedpseudopodia.In addition,the pit cells have also been found in breast carcinoma in3 patients.According to their distribution and morphology,we preliminarilydeduced they probably belong to natural killer cells and may act as a cytotoxicagent and an immunological defender against carcinoma.
