Squash Procedure for Protein Immunolocalization in Meiotic Cells

Several techniques have been developed for protein immunolocalization in meiotic cells. However, most of them include treatments that lead to cell disruption and are only suitable for prophase-I cells. We describe a novel squash procedure of cell preparation for protein immunolabelling of different meiotic stages. This procedure is an alternative to both cryosectioning and whole spreading procedures. We present results obtained in mouse spermatocytes with three different antibodies: the MPM-2 mAb against mitotic phosphoepitopes, an anticentromere serum and a polyclonal serum against the SCP3 protein of the axial elements and lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex. The procedure was tested for single and double immunolabelling. With this technique a large number of cells at different meiotic stages can be analysed. Cell stages are easily identified and cell and chromosome structures are preserved. Thus, it allows the study of chromosome behaviour and the relations hips between the different structural elements of the cell throughout meiotic divisions. Our procedure is also suitable for three-dimensional (3D) analyses and proved to be reliable in a wide range of systems including insects and mammals. In addition, the procedure may be interesting to obtain a rapid immunological diagnosis.     

Acute experimental pancreatitis in rat induced by sodium taurocholic acid: objective quantification of pancreatic necrosis

Summary Retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholic acid (TA) in Wistar rat pancreatic duct is followed by acute pancreatitis, resulting in 100% mortality within 36 h. Biochemical determinations show raised levels of amylase in ascites and blood. Necrosis has been measured using seven morphometric characteristics of pathological changes that add precise information on the type and extension of the pancreatic lesion. The percentage of necrotic tissue (by area) seems to be the most objective parameter. Necrosis appears 6 h after TA infusion, being 5.77% in extent after 12h, 14.9% after 24 h and animals die with an area of 29.5% necrosis. This experimental model seems to one in which physiopathological and therapeutic trials on acute pancreatitis may be camed out.     

非诺贝特上调血管内皮细胞一氧化氮合酶的表达

目的:观察PPARα激动剂非诺贝特对牛主动脉(BAECs)内皮细胞一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)活性和表达的影响。方法:制备5-9代BAECs,加入不同浓度的非诺贝特(0, 5, 10, 50, 100 μmol/L)后,用NOS Assay Kit测定eNOS活性,RT-PCR法检测eNOS mRNA表达,Western blot分析检测eNOS蛋白质表达。结果: 非诺贝特以浓度和时间依赖的方式增加eNOS活性,非诺贝特浓度10 μmol/L以上时,明显增加eNOS活性。50μmol/L非诺贝特处理48 h时eNOS活性最大(为对照组的2.32±0.47倍,P<0.01)。非诺贝特处理1 h和12 h不增加eNOS活性。RT-PCR分析表明,非诺贝特浓度大于5 μmol/L以上时,明显增加eNOS mRNA水平,在非诺贝特浓度为50 μmol/L时作用最大,为对照组的2.08±0.33倍(P<0.01)。此作用在6 h时出现,持续到48 h。Western blot显示,非诺贝特处理48 h,eNOS蛋白表达明显增加,在浓度为10,50 和100 μmol/L时,eNOS蛋白表达分别为对照组的1.80±0.45, 2.70±0.42 和 2.20±0.32 倍,均P<0.01。在非诺贝特处理12 h后出现,持续到48 h。结论:PPARα激动剂非诺贝特增加BAECs eNOS基因表达,提高eNOS活性及增加蛋白表达。

Multiple myeloma presenting as a sellar plasmacytoma and mimicking a pituitary tumor: Report of a case and a review of the literature

A case of multiple myeloma presenting as a plasmacytoma and mimicking a pituitary tumor is reported. The importance of recognizing the existence of plasmacytoma in the differential diagnosis of sellar and parasellar tumors is stressed, as it leads to important differences in management. The literature is reviewed. Patients presenting with plasmacytoma with symptoms of a pituitary adenoma have an average age of 58 years; the male to female ratio is 3:1; diplopia, headache, and progressive visual loss are the most important symptoms; third, sixth, and fourth cranial nerve palsies are the most common signs; and pituitary function is usually normal. CT scan of the sellar region is the imaging modality of choice; pathologically, light and electron microscopy are invaluable in making the correct diagnosis. Making the correct diagnosis allows further appropriate investigation for systemic disease and consequent management.
