ABSTRACT

Effects of protein and B-complex vitamin deficiency were assessed with respect to the morphometry of myenteric neurons in the descending colon of adult rats. Sixteen animals were divided into two groups: Control Group (CG, n=8) and Experimental Group (EG, n=8). The CG received 22 percent protein chow and the EG received 4 percent protein chow for 120 days. The descending colon was submitted to NADH- and NADPH-diaphorase technique in order to evidence nervous cells in the whole mounts preparations. In the EG, NADH-d positive neurons presented reduced nuclei, while NADPH-d positive neurons showed atrophy of the soma area (~41.7 percent) inducing an increase of the proportion occupied by the nucleus inside in the soma of these cells.


Esta investigación buscó evaluar los efectos de la desnutrición proteica y vitamínica delcomplexo B sobre aspectos morfométricos del plexo mientérico del colon descendente de ratones adultos. Dieciséis animales fueron distribuidos en dos grupos: control que recibieron ración comercial con 22 por ciento de proteína y experimental alimentados con ración de tenor proteico reducido para 8 por ciento, durante 120 días. Neuronas del plexo mientérico presentes en preparados totales fueron evidenciados a través de la técnica histoquímica de la NADH-diaforasa y de la NADPH-diaforasa. En el grupo experimental, las neuronas NADH-d positivos sufrieron reducción del núcleo celular, ya las neuronas NADPH-d sufrieron atrofia de 41,7 por ciento de la superficie de su pericarion, lo que hizo con que el núcleo celular pasase a ocupar una mayor proporción de la región trófica de las neuronas.

ABSTRACT

The enteric nervous system comprises two major systems: the submucosal and the myenteric plexus. Theaim of this study was to describe the myenteric plexusfrom three strains of spontaneous diabetic rats from thehistological point of view. Samples of small intestineand of proximal and distal colon were obtained fromthree spontaneous diabetic rats i.e., eSS, eSMT, βstrains and 1-year old Wistar rats. Specimens werestained with NADH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,reduced form) histochemical technique andexamined with light microscope. Microscopically little modifications in mesh-like structure of intestinal Auerbach’s plexus from eSS were detected in comparisonwith Wistar rats samples. Intestinal plexus of eSMT and β rats showed disruption of mesh-like structures, modifications in the slightly colored background (smooth muscle) and augmented vascularization. Small intestine and colon are affected. In short: In our spontaneously diabetic rat models, mesh-like structure of Auerbach’s plexus is strain dependent.


El sistema nerviso entérico comprende dos sistemas mayores: el plexo submucoso y el plexo mientérico. Este estudio describe la estructura histológica del plexo mientérico en tres líneas de ratas espontáneamente diabéticas. Especímenes de intestino delgado, colon proximal y colon distal fueron obtenidos de tres líneas de ratas espontáneamente diabéticas: eSS, eSMT, β y Wistar de 1 año de edad. Los materiales obtenidos fueron procesados con la técnica histoquímica del NADH (β-nicotinamida adenina dinucleotido, forma reducida) y observados en un microscopio óptico. Pequeñas modificaciones histológicas en la estructura reticular del plexo de Auerbach intestinal pueden ser detectados en las ratas eSS cuando son comparadas con las ratas Wistar. La estructura reticular del plexo de Auerbach de las ratass eSMT y β muestran una desaparición de dicha estructura reticular, disminución de la coloración de base (músculo liso) y un aumento de la vascularización. Tanto el intestino delgado como el colon están afectados. Resumiendo: en nuestros modelos experimentales de ratas diabéticas la estructura reticular del plexo de Auerbach es dependiente de la línea de rata estudiada.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos das carências protéica e vitamínica sobre os neurônios do plexo mioentérico do duodeno de ratos. 24 animais, aos 90 dias de idade, foram divididos em dois grupos: controle (n=12) e experimental (n=12). Durante 120 dias, o grupo controle recebeu ração com teor protéico de 22 por cento, vitaminas e minerais; o grupo experimental, 8 por cento, sem suplementação de vitaminas. Após período experimental, coletou-se o sangue dos animais e retirou-se o duodeno para análise ultraestrutural e morfoquantitativa (NADH-d; NADPH-d). O grupo experimental apresentou proteínas totais e albumina plasmática reduzidas e peso inferior aos do grupo controle. A densidade (NADPH-d) foi maior e significante para o grupo experimental; na técnica da NADH-d, o perfil neuronal diferiu entre os grupos. Os aspectos ultraestruturais mostraram-se semelhantes entre os grupos. Os resultados permitem concluir que a dieta imposta promoveu um quadro moderado de desnutrição, não provocando alterações quantitativas, porém levou a alterações no perfil neuronal

ABSTRACT

Os corpos celulares dos neurônios constituintes do plexo mienterico do esofago, do estomago, do duodeno e do colo sigmoide humanos foram evidenciados em preparaçöes laminares da muscularis externa atraves de um método näo histoquimico (Giemsa). A área média dos corpos celulares foi determinada, sendo a maior verificada no plexo do esofago (489.97 um2 +- 212.35 um2) e a menor no plexo do colo sigmoide (241.64 um2 +- 122.62 um2). Näo foram observadas diferenças significantes entre as áreas medias dos neuronios do plexo do esofago (284.77 um2 +- 134.70 um2) e do duodeno (291.39 um2 +- 157.86 um2). Uma capsula ganglionar formada por fibras colagenas e do sistema elastico, da qual partem delgados septos que envolvem neuronios isolados ou grupos de neurônios, foi observada em todas as partes do tubo digestivo, näo havendo diferenças entre as regiöes. Os resultados sugerem que fatores como tamanho do corpo celular e aspectos estruturais da capsula ganglionar näo estäo relacionados com a incidência de megaesofago e de megacolo

ABSTRACT

Estudiamos el efecto de la diabetes mellitus crónica, inducida por estreptozotocina, en cuanto a los aspectos cuantitativos de las neuronas del plexo mientérico del colon proximal de ratas. Utilizamos cuatro grupos de animales: dos grupos de animales diabéticos (D2 y D8). En dos grupos D2 y D8, sacrificamos animales de dos y ocho meses, respectivamente, después de la inducción de diabetes; y los otros dos grupos C2 y C8, fueron mantenidos como control de los grupos anteriores. Retiramos el colon de las ratas y lo sometimos a cortes histológicos que fueron teñidos con Hematoxilina-Eosina. Se obtuvieron preparados de membrana teñidos con el método Giemsa y NADH-diaphorasa. Constatamos que la mayoría de las neuronas, tanto de animales diabéticos como no diabéticos, poseen núcleo excéntrico y que, por lo tanto, este hallazgo no es indicativo de proceso degenerativo. Verificamos que animales sacrificados dos meses después de la inducción de diabetes, no sufrieron reducción significativa en el número de neuronas por área, mientras que en animales sacrificados ocho meses después de la inducción de diabetes, presentaron reducción significativa en el número de neuronas por área, comparados con el grupo control

ABSTRACT

The ferret is increasingly used as an experimental animal, and the ferret stomach has been shown to be a suitable model for the human stomach due to similarity in their anatomical structure, innervation and physiological characteristics. The ultrastructure of the myenteric ganglia in the ferret stomach does not appear to have been investigated previously. Therefore, the ultrastructure of the myenteric ganglia of the ferret stomach were studied. Four types of vesiculated axon profiles were identified and found to be similar to those in the myenteric ganglia of the stomach, colon of man and other laboratory animals

ABSTRACT

The connective tissue of the myenteric plexus of the human esophagus was studied by light and electron microscope. Collagen fibers were identified by Picrosirius staining with polarisation microscopy and from their fine structural morphology. A capsule of connective tissue invests the ganglia while septa of connective tissue separate groups of ganglion cells, surrounding each ganglion cell and each nerve fiber. Collagen fibrils surround the ganglia each ganglion cell and each nerve fiber. The fibrils are disposed in various orientations forming networks

ABSTRACT

The elastic system in the myenteric plexus of the human esophagus was studied by light and electron microscopy. Elastic, elaunin and oxytalan fibers were identified by their staining characteristic a fine structural morphology. The bulk of the ganglionic sheet consists of coarse eladtic fibers and elaunin fibers. Elaunin fibers and oxytalan fibers form the intraganglionic network. The oxytalan, elaunin and elastic fibers appear to be located in area related to different stresses and deformation to which the ganglia if the myenteric plexus are exposed during the motor activity of the esophageal wall

ABSTRACT

A method is presented for the rapid demonstration of the myenterifc plexus. A solution containing 30 per cent silver nitrate, 20 per cent potassium nitrate and 1 per cent glycine (50-50:1) followed by a solution of 1 per cent pyrogallol, ethyl alcohol (55 per cent) and a trace (0.002 per cent) of nitric acid were used on esophageal peels (Whole mounts) to stain fibers and neuron cell bodies. Neuronal perykaria and cell processes were visible. Since the nuclei of non neuronal supportinf cells were poorly stained and the muscle fibers has been dissected off, an image virtually free of background and visual interference was obtained
