Morphological characterization of the venom secretory epidermal cells in the stinger of marine and freshwater stingrays.

Marine and freshwater stingrays are characterized by the presence of one to three mineralized serrated stingers on the tail, which are covered by epidermal cells secreting venom. When these animals are dorsally touched, the stinger can be introduced into the aggressor by a whip reflex mechanism of the tail, causing severe mechanical injuries and inoculating the venom. Accidents in humans are frequent causing intense local pain, oedema and erythema. Bacterial secondary infection is also common. In addition, injuries involving freshwater stingrays frequently cause a persistent cutaneous necrosis. The exact localization of the venom secretory epidermal cells in the stinger is controversial, but it is known that it is preferentially located in the ventrolateral grooves. A comparative morphological analysis of the stinger epidermal tissue of different marine and freshwater Brazilian stingray species was carried out. The results indicate that in freshwater species there is a larger number of protein secretory cells, of two different types, spread over the whole stinger epidermis, while in marine species the protein secretory cells are located only around or inside the stinger ventrolateral grooves. These differences between the stingers of the two groups can justify the more severe envenomation accidents with the freshwater species when compared with the marine species.

Variation in Pharmacognostic Characters and Polyphenolic Contents among Four Species of Medicinal Plants from the Genus Spermacoce (Rubiaceae)

Spermacoce hispida L. is one of the important medicinal plants used in traditional systems of medicine. It is observed that, several times it is difficult to differentiate the plant from the other allied species from the same genus, Spermacoce, especially, when they are in drug form. Therefore, the present study aims to document the differences in the pharmacognostic characters, preliminary phytochemical analysis and polyphenolic contents from the leaves of four species belonging to the genus Spermacoce, viz. S. hispida L., S. mauritiana O. Gideon, S. stricta L. and S. ocymoides Burm. Transverse section passing through the midrib with lamina on either sides, epidermal characters, leaf constants, organoleptic characters, physicochemical analysis, extractive values and preliminary phytochemical analysis were carried out for all these species. Total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoids by AlCl₃ method were also estimated from the leaves of all these species. The results indicated that S. hispida can be clearly differentiated from the other selected species on the basis of size and number of epidermal cells, size of trichomes, leaf constants, physicochemical analysis and extractive values. However, it is also found that S. hispida possess total phenolic content at 6.88±0.34 mg CAE/g and 9.17±0.46 mg TAE/g. Total flavonoids was at 5.98±0.30 mg QE/g. The study will provide information with respect to identification and differentiation amongst selected species of genus Spermacoce.     

Histological characterization of the special venom secretory cells in the stinger of rays in the northern waters of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea

Rays are common elasmobranches in the northern waters of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea that may have one or more mineralized serrated stingers on the whip-like tail. The stingers are covered by epidermal cells among which some can produce venom. When these animals are dorsally touched, the stinger can be introduced into the aggressor by a whip reflex mechanism of the tail when the pectoral fins are touched, causing severe mechanical injuries and inoculating the venom. The exact localization of the venom secretory cells in the stinger of different species is controversial, but it is known that the cells are preferentially located in the ventro-lateral grooves in marine stingrays. A comparative morphological characterization of the stinger epidermal tissue of different ray species in the northern part of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea was carried out in this study. EDTA was used for decalcification of stings and conventional histological processes were subsequently employed. The results indicated that structure of dermis and epidermis layers of stings in all species are similar to the structure of corresponding layers in other parts of fish's body. The results of the present study have shown that all examined species of Dasyatidae family, but not Myliobatidae and Gymnuridae families, had venom secretory cells. Distribution of venom secretory cells varies in each species and is often located around or inside the stinger ventro-lateral grooves. These differences among the stingers of various species may explain the envenomation severity in these species.     

Effects of short-term high-dose and low-dose dermal exposure to Jet A, JP-8 and JP-8 + 100 jet fuels.

Occupational and environmental exposures to jet fuel recently have become a source of public and regulatory concern. This study investigates the cutaneous toxicity of three fuels used in both civilian and military aircraft. Pigs, an accepted animal model for human skin, were exposed to low-dose (25 microl or 7.96 microl cm(-2)) or high-dose (335 microl or 67 microl cm(-2)) Jet A, JP-8 and JP-8 + 100 under occluded (Hill Top) chamber or cotton fabric) and non-occluded conditions for 5 h, 24 h and 5 days. To mimic occupational exposure, fuel-soaked fabric (high dose) was used. Erythema, edema, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and epidermal thickness were quantified. High-dose fabric occluded sites had slight erythema at 5 h with increased erythema at 5 days. No erythema was noted in any of the occluded (Hill Top) or non-occluded sites at any of the time points. Morphological assessments depicted slight intracellular epidermal edema at all time points. An increase in change in TEWL (DeltaTEWL) was observed at the 5-h and 24-h fabric and Hill Top occluded treatments and a decrease at the 5-day fabric and Hill Top occluded sites. In all 5-day JP-8 + 100 fabric sites, intracorneal microabscesses filled with inflammatory cells were observed. Epidermal thickening was significant (P < 0.05) in all three jet fuels at the high-dose fabric sites, with JP-8 + 100 being the thickest. The epidermal rete peg depth increased significantly (P < 0.05) at 24 h and 5 days with Jet A, JP-8, and JP-8 + 100 in the fabric sites. No significant differences were noted in the 5-day non-occluded fabric and Hill Top occluded and non-occluded sites. Jet fuel JP-8 + 100 tended to have the greatest proliferative response. In conclusion, the high-dose fabric-soaked exposure at 5 days to Jet A, JP-8 and JP-8 + 100 fuels caused the greatest increase in cutaneous erythema, edema, epidermal thickness and rete peg depth compared with high-dose non-occluded or low-dose exposure under Hill Top occluded and non-occluded conditions.

Regeneration and the mechanism of epidermal tumor promotion

Chemically induced epidermal carcinogenesis is often divided into two stages: initiation, which involves the conversion of some epidermal cells into latent neoplastic cells, and promotion, which allows the evolution of this neoplastic change into the formation of a neoplasm. The hallmark of epidermal tumor promotion is the transformation of the normal epidermis into a hyperplastic epidermis. A major unanswered question about epidermal tumor promotion is whether the epidermal hyperplasia that characterizes promoted skin is a regenerative epidermal hyperplasia resulting from damage produced by the promoter. The opinion currently held is that the epidermal hyperplasia produced by tumor promoters is not simply a regenerative epidermal hyperplasia and possesses characteristics which a regenerative hyperplasia does not have, enabling it to evolve into an epidermal neoplasm. The purpose of this review is to present recent evidence which strongly suggests that promoter-induced epidermal hyperplasia is a regenerative hyperplasia. Three principal lines of evidence are reviewed. The first demonstrates that an epidermal regenerative hyperplasia repeatedly produced by wounding or abrasion can promote epidermal carcinogenesis in the initiated skin of mice. The second line of evidence demonstrates that the epidermal hyperplasia produced by the application of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the most powerful and widely used promoter of skin carcinogenesis, is preceded by damage to the epidermis. This strongly suggests that the epidermal hyperplasia which ensues is a regenerative hyperplasia. Thirdly, evidence is presented which demonstrates that hyperplasia-producing agents which do not promote, produce an epidermal hyperplasia which is different from that produced by tumor promoters. Finally, the review discusses the evidence which suggests that the production of a hyperplasia may be the mechanism for tumor promotion in other organs, such as the liver, bladder, and intestine.     

A Correlation of Permeabilities for Passively Transported Compounds in Monkey and Rabbit Jejunum

Permeability measurements were conducted for a series of compounds using in vitro tissue sections from monkey and rabbit jejunum. Jejunal segments were stripped of serosal musculature and mounted in a diffusion-cell system, using previously described methods and equipment. Permeability determinations of radiolabeled compounds ranging over two orders of magnitude in molecular weight were conducted. For the compounds examined, the permeability of the rabbit jejunum was approximately twice that of the monkey. This was in contrast to the relationship implied by the stripped tissue thickness measurements of 0.92 and 0.83 mm for rabbit and monkey, respectively. An investigation of the size of the paracellular space in the jejunum was undertaken to account for this apparent discrepancy in tissue permeability. Scanning electron micrographs of intestinal sections revealed a similar packing density of cells between species; however, a difference was noted in the shape and number of villi per unit area. Comparative measurements of the paracellular volume in both species using mannitol and methoxyinulin as extracellular space markers further suggests that the paracellular junctions are similar in size but more numerous per unit area of rabbit jejunum than that of the monkey. In contrast to passively transported compounds, the active transport of D-glucose was greater in monkey jejunum compared to rabbit tissue segments. When active transport was inhibited by blockade of the sodium pump with ouabain, the passive component of D-glucose transport for both rabbit and monkey tissue was in agreement with the relationship demonstrated above for compounds which are solely transported by passive processes.
