چکیده

E since the kidney has been implicated as a major factor in the genesis of hypertension, search for morphologic alterations which could account for this relationship has been intensive. However, Castelman, Smithwick, and Palmer, who published, in 1941, the results of renal biopsies in 100 cases of hypertension, were unable to detect any specific abnormality except changes in blood vessels similar to those observed in other organs (intimal hyaliuization, medial hypertrophy, endothelial hyperplasia). Other clinicopathologic studies have been equally nonrevealing. The discovery by Ruyter, in 1925, of granular cells around the preglomerular artery of the kidney, juxtaglomerular cells (J-G cells fig. 1), and the production of renal hypertension by clamping of the renal artery or by constriction of the kidney by means of cellophane wrapping, furnished impetus for a great number of researches which extended over a period of 30 years and gave rise to a voluminous literature. One type of investigation which attracted considerable attention had to do with morphologic changes of the J-G cells. The studies of Goormaghtigh, Elaut, Donihue and Candon, Bohle, and the more recent contributions of Hartroft and Hartroft and Tobian have attempted to establish a link between the stages of granulations of these cells and hypertension in man and experimental animals.

Mast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice

Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...

Histopathologic evaluation of mast cells in reticular and erosive oral lichen planus using toluidine blue staining

Introduction: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is one of the most common mucocutaneous lesion, and its etiologic factors have not been elucidated yet. OLP has two different clinical forms including reticular and erosive. Mast cells function in non-specific immunology is an etiologic factor involved in the formation of lichen planus. This study aimed at determining the pattern of mast cells presence in ...

A Concept Suggestion on the Effect of Cigarette Smoking in Inflammatory Destruction of Gingiva

Dear Editor, Cigarette smoking has destructive effect on periodontal tissue. The rates of loss of periodontal attachment and recession of gingival are higher in smokers than non-smokers (1-2). Previous studies on the inflammatory immune responses in smokers’ periodontitis have mainly focused on the role of neutrophils. Tumor necrosis factor–α, prostaglandin E2 and matrix metalloproteinase...

Sympathetic innervation of the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney in rats with renal hypertension.

Combination of a histochemical fluorescence method for biogem'c monoamines and staining of juxtaglomerular cell granules demonstrated sympathetic nerve terminals in the rat kidney in the walls of the parts of the juxtaglomerular arterioles that contain granulated cells. This forms a morphological basis for a direct influence of sympathetic nervous activity on the liberation of renin. The juxtag...
