Abstract
Metastatic studies on rats showed that after subrenal implantation of tumor cells under the capsule of the kidney or subhepatic implantation under Glisson's capsule of the liver generated primary tumors in these organs. It was assumed that tumor cells that escaped through the disrupted peripheral blood vessels of primary tumors entered the peritoneal cavity, crossed the diaphragm, and appeared in the thoracal, primarily in the parathymic lymph nodes. This explanation did not answer the question whether distant lymph nodes were reached via the blood stream from the primary tumor or through the thoracal lymphatic vessels. In this work, we investigated the metastatic pathway in C3H/HeJ mice, after direct intraperitoneal administration of murine SCC VII cells bypassing the hematogenic spread of tumor cells. The direct pathway was also mimicked by intraperitoneal injection of Pelican Ink colloidal particles, which appeared in the parathymic lymph nodes, similarly to the tumor cells that caused metastasis in the parathymic lymph nodes and in the thymic tissue. The murine peritoneal-parathymic lymph node route indicates a general mechanism of tumor progression from the abdominal effusion. This pathway starts with the growth of abdominal tumors, continues as thoracal metastasis in parathymic lymph nodes and may proceed as mammary lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pleural nodular histiocytic/mesothelial hyperplasia is a nodular histiocytic/mesothelial proliferation, often delimiting cystic cavities, due to irritation by a pulmonary noxa. Case report results: The patient had right pleural parietal and diaphragmatic thickness, with pleural effusion, without lung alterations. He previously underwent left hemicolectomy and liver resection, due to a diverticulitis and a liver histiocytes-rich abscess. Video-assisted thoracoscopy biopsy showed a double population of reactive mesothelial cells and histiocytes. CONCLUSION Nodular histiocytic/mesothelial hyperplasia represents a potential pitfall for pathologists. Immunohistochemistry is crucial for the differential diagnosis with some malignancies. We suggest that in our patient, a chronic mesothelium inflammation happened by transdiaphragmatic involvement as a consequence of the liver abscess. Some pathogenetic mechanisms are hypothesized.

Abstract
Thirty-one female Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) were inoculated intraperitoneally with a lethal dose of Burkholderia mallei (Budapest strain). Hamsters were killed postinoculation on days 0 through 6. Lesions were first noted in the spleens on postinoculation day 1, and in mediastinal and mesenteric lymph nodes, mediastinum, liver, and bone marrow on day 2. Lesions were present in the lung and submandibular lymph nodes on day 3, and in the brain on day 5. The characteristic histopathologic change was necrotizing pyogranulomatous inflammation, often with hemorrhage. Lesions indicative of impaired vascular perfusion, such as ischemia and infarction, were evident at the later time points. Pathologic changes generally increased in severity and distribution with time, and almost all tissues were ultimately affected. Our findings suggest that intraperitoneal bacteria were rapidly transported to mediastinal lymph nodes by transdiaphragmatic lymphatics and ultimately seeded other tissues hematogenously. The results of the study indicate that the Syrian hamster is a useful small animal model for glanders.

Abstract
Purified Bordetella pertussis antigens, encapsulated in biodegradable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (DL-PLG) microspheres, were evaluated for their immunogenicity and ability to elicit a protective immune response against B. pertussis respiratory infection. Microencapsulated pertussis toxoid, filamentous hemagglutinin, and pertactin all retained their immunogenicity when administered parenterally. Intranasal immunization with a low dose (1 micrograms) of encapsulated filamentous hemagglutinin, pertussis toxoid, or pertactin elicited strong specific immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A antibody responses in respiratory secretions that were greater in magnitude than the responses elicited by the same doses of unencapsulated antigen. Intranasal immunization with as little as 1 micrograms of encapsulated pertussis antigen prior to infection reduced the bacterial recovery by 3 log10 CFU. However, intranasal immunization with the same low doses of unencapsulated antigens did not reduce infection. Intranasal administration of a combination of 1 micrograms of each of the microencapsulated pertussis antigens was more effective in reducing bacterial infection than administration of any single microencapsulated antigen. Intranasal administration of microencapsulated B. pertussis antigens elicits high levels of specific antibody coinciding with protection against infection when these microspheres are administered to the respiratory tract. These data provide evidence of the respiratory adjuvanticity of three different DL-PLC microsphere preparations, each of which contains a unique B. pertussis antigen.

Abstract
In this study the migration of peritoneal cells was investigated by a fluorescence labelling technique. We found that peritoneal cells migrate to the subcapsular sinus and medulla of the parathymic lymph node (PTLN) and paratracheal lymph node (PTrLN). It was also observed that fluorescence labelled cells possibly granulocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells were found in the B cell follicles of Peyer patches and the dome area after intraperitoneal (ip) labelling. The implication of the migration of antigen presenting cells to the gut on the mucosal immune response is discussed.

Abstract
To study the reactivity of nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) and its position in the mucosal immune system, rats were intranasally challenged with 200 micrograms TNP-LPS. Priming had occurred 15 days previous to the challenge with the same antigen and dose, either intranasally, intratracheally, subcutaneously in the cheek or intraperitoneally. The number of anti-TNP antibody-forming cells (AFC) was determined in various tissues using the conjugate TNP/alkaline phosphatase. Generally, anti-TNP AFC were predominantly found in the posterior cervical lymph nodes, while NALT contained hardly any such AFC. The highest response in the posterior cervical lymph nodes occurred on day 5, after subcutaneous priming and intranasal boosting. This also evoked peak responses in several other tissues. The highest response in spleen and lung occurred on day 7 after intraperitoneal priming and intranasal boosting. Irrespective of the immunization route, IgA was the least produced isotype in the spleen as compared to antigen-specific IgG and IgM. In the posterior cervical lymph nodes, besides specific IgG and IgM, a considerable proportion of specific IgA was produced. All four immunization routes yielded anti-TNP antibodies in serum. As for the non-lymphoid cells, the intratracheal-intranasal immunization protocol induced an increase in pulmonary macrophages on days 3 and 5. The immunological role of lung macrophages is discussed.
