چکیده

The structure of nucleic acid derived from thymus on the one hand and that derived from yeast on the other were finally established when it was shown by Levene and Jacobs (1) that the former was characterized by a pentose, dextroribose, whereas the other contained (Levene and London, 2) a reduced sugar, desoxyribose. A color reaction described by Feulgen (3) applicable to this sugar has been widely used for the chemical identification of desoxyribonucleic acid and has later been applied (Feulgen and Rossenbeck, 4) with much exactness to the microchemical recognition of this substance in tissues. Numerous observations indicate that the Feulgen reaction is limited to the cell nucleus and our observations are wholly in accord with this conclusion. In 1904 Kohler (3) described a microscope equipped with a fused quartz lens system. The reason for using such a microscope is twofold. One, since the tissue components such as nucleic acid, nucleoproteins, and proteins have absorption bands in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, unstained sections can be used. Also the resolution is about twice that obtained with visible light. The technique of ultraviolet microscopy has recently been simplified (Lavin, 6) and it is this technique that has been used to obtain the microphotographs shown in this paper. The microphotographs of unstained sections have an astonishing resemblance to photographs of sections stained with nuclear dyes.

Mobilization of Basophile Substance (ribonucleic Acid) in the Cytoplasm of Liver Cells with the Production of Tumors by Butter Yellow

Butter yellow (dimethylaminoazobenzene) causes degenerative changes in liver cells accompanied by chromatolysis of cytoplasmic structures that stain with basic dyes because they contain ribonucleic acid. These changes are profoundly modified by the protein content of the diet. Chromatolysis is succeeded by focal regeneration with reaccumulation of ribonucleic acid in the cytoplasm of liver cell...

In a foregoing study (2) recognizable lesions of the parenchymatous cells of the liver and of newly formed bile ducts with none of the characteristics of neoplasm were found to precede the development of tumors derived from these structures. Focal hyperplasia was a precursor of trabecular or of adenomatous hepatomas; with it the cytoplasm of liver cells took a deeply basophile stain referable p...

The attempt has been made to determine the character of the basophile material that occurs normally in the cytoplasm of liver cells and accumulates in association with the hyperplasia of liver cells and of newly formed bile ducts when the azo dye butter yellow is administered to white rats. This substance in the normal liver cells, in the parenchymatous foci of basophile hyperplasia that are pr...

Purpose:The regeneration of axon and myelin sheet after crush injury of peripheral nerves involves interaction of several types of cells, including Schwann cells, monocyte, macrophage and fibroblast. Among them, haematogenous macrophages invading into the peripheral nervous systein play a major role in myelin uptake during Wallerian degeneration. Materials and Methods: In this study 35 C57/BL6 ...
