Abstract
Experiments on the biologic effects of ultrasound (US) were carried out on rat embryos exposed for 120 s to a US beam showing features similar to those already employed for diagnostic purposes. Electron microscopic investigation of the liver parenchyma of rat embryos confirmed results obtained from adult guinea pigs with the same duration of exposure, i.e. diffuse vacuolization of cytoplasma and varying degrees of mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
The aqueous humor is produced in the ciliary body, therefore in this study we investigated the Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and vasopressin (VP)-presence in the ciliary body of the pig eye since these peptide are involved in the homeostasis of body fluids. The results show ANP-presence in the epithelial cells and in the endothelial cells of the blood vessels and VP-presence in the epithelial cells, in the endothelium of canal of Schelmm and in the muscle cells of the blood vessels. These peptides might regulate the synthesis and the composition of the aqueous humor and regulate the hydrodynamic flow and haemodynamic flow of the blood.

Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated the physiological effects of oxytocin (OT), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and vasopressin (VP) in the homoeostasis of body fluids during physical exercise. However, a little information is available about the related immunohistochemical changes in hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory system during and after the training. The aim of the present work was to study the immunohistochemical changes in OT, ANP and VP levels in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus during and after resistance exercise protocol. Three groups of Wistar rats were trained by a rung ladder protocol for 15, 30 and 45 days, respectively; a fourth group was left to rest for 15 days after the training. Finally, four sedentary groups were used as controls. The results show that resistance training induces a significant reduction in the percentage of OT-positive neurons, compared with sedentary controls. In contrast, this protocol did not induce any change in VP levels, and ANP levels did not change significantly. However, VP increased after the resting period of 15 days. Our work shows that neurons of the paraventricular nucleus are involved in body fluid homoeostasis during and after resistance exercise. The functional significance of these changes in OT and VP levels, during and after the protocol, needs to be further investigated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Morphological anomalies of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) cause symptomatic cerebrovascular insufficiency in 4-16% of the cases. The aim of the present study is to evaluate macroscopic and microscopic features of a group of extracranial ICA anomalies, specifically kinking, coiling, and tortuosity, eventually affecting the surgical approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2003 to December 2005, 10 out of 169 (6%) revascularized patients (pts) were operated upon because of an ICA anomaly. They were all but two symptomatics. Seven pts were treated by ICA transection and end-to-side reimplantation of the ICA at the level of the carotid bulb; three pts were treated by ICA resection and end-to-end anastomosis. In all the cases a segment of ICA was resected; in three cases one more segment was also obtained from a common carotid artery (CCA) and these specimens were histologically examined. Patients were followed-up through a 3-year period. RESULTS No pts died and none suffered of neurologic events. Duplex scan and arteriographic postoperative control showed the correct surgical reconstruction. Matching preoperative clinical findings with presence or absence of significant atherosclerotic stenotic lesion, we found out a positive cerebral CT in one pt (20%) in both groups; fluent neurological deficit was preeminent in pts with pure ICA anomalies (40% vs. 0%) (P = 0.2); pts with pure ICA anomalies were significantly younger than 65 years old (80% vs. 0%) (P = 0.03) and males were more involved by pure ICA anomalies (60% vs. 40%) (P = 0.1). The histological examination of ICA specimens showed a reduction of elastic fibers and muscular cells with a compensative increase of connective fibers. CONCLUSIONS At our knowledge this is the first study focused on ICA anomalies like kinking, coiling, and tortuosity, comparing histologic features of CCA and ICA specimens coming from the same affected carotid axis. Our results, although preliminary, show elastic and muscular tissue substituted by loose connective tissue, configuring a metaplasia of tunica media limited to the ICA. Our hypothesis is that extracranial ICA, being a segment of transition between an elastic vessel (CCA) and a muscular vessel (intracranial ICA), is particularly subject to metaplastic transformation, analogously to other transition zones in human body. Our purpose is now to confirm by ultrastructural and molecular biology techniques, in a wider series, the presence of this metaplasia, since this could condition also the revascularization techniques.

Abstract
Since a relationship between atrial natriuretic peptide and oxytocin was recently demonstrated in the heart (Gutkowska et al., 1997), the aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship between the two peptides is present also in the rat hypothalamus. For this purpose, we measured ANP-ontogeny in the rat hypothalamus immunohistochemically and compared it with oxytocin-ontogeny which we previously studied. The results showed that the ANP-peptide and mRNA-ANP start at the 18th day of the fetal life. Our earlier data for oxytocin in the rat hypothalamus showed that only mRNA-oxytocin appeared the 18th day of foetal life (Farina Lipari et al., 2001); thus, at the 18th day of foetal life, mRNA-ANP, ANP-peptide and mRNA-oxytocin are present. We conclude that in the hypothalamus, differently from that in the heart, ANP might play a role on the synthesis of the oxytocin since ANP and its mRNA appear earlier than oxytocin.

Abstract
In this work, we showed the presence of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in human prostate and compared its localisation in normal and hyperplastic conditions. ANF was localised in epithelial and stromal cells, being increased in hyperplasia, mainly in the stromal component. Moreover, we compared ANF and oxytocin positivity in the same glands, focusing on the possible relationship between the paracrine effects of these two hormones.

Abstract
In man, the architecture of the turbinates is able to modify some of the physiochemical characteristics of the air inhaled. These modifications depend on the nervous system and on the action of neurotransmitters such as vasoactive intestinal peptide. Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide and other neuropeptides. As atrial natriuretic factor has been detected in the trachea and lung, the present immunohistochemical study was carried out to establish the presence and localisation of the atrial natriuretic factor on the inferior turbinates of the human being. The findings show atrial natriuretic factor to be present in the serous epithelial cells and in some cells of the tonaca propria near the sinusoids and the arteriovenous shunts and the acinar cells of the glands. Atrial natriuretic factor, therefore, could play a part in the stratification of mucus on the luminal surface and also regulate the blood flow of the capillaries, modifying, in this way, the physiochemical features of the air inhaled.

Abstract
Studies concerning the development of the magnocellular system are scarce and discordant in literature. We carried out an immunohistochemical study on supraotic and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei using antivasopressin and antioxytocin antibodies in developing rats between the 15th day of intrauterine life and the 6th day of postnatal life. In addition, we performed RT-PCR experiments to establish the stage at which these hormones appear and neurosecretory activity commences. The results showed that supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei appear, respectively, on the 16th and the 18th day of intrauterine life and both immediately synthetize vasopressin neurohormone. By contrast, synthesis of oxytocin takes place from the 2nd day after birth. Probably, these nuclei synthetize oxytocin in conjunction with the decline of placental maternal oxytocin.

Abstract
The Authors carried out an experimental study on a homogeneous group of young people to provide evidence of functional correlation among masticatory muscles and, indirectly, between changes to the interdental occlusal plane and modifications of the plantar arches due to talipes valgus and flat foot. In the two analysed conditions, the masticatory muscles undergo different functional alterations. This is due to the fact that the mechanoreceptors in the tendons of the muscles governing the plantar arch configuration are stimulated in different ways during the activation of long osteoarthromuscular chains. Dental specialists will have to take these correlation into account when diagnosing TMJ disorders.

Abstract
The Authors have described a clinical case involving a patient with a classical TMJ syndrome and a full range of typical symptoms, both dental and non-dental. The patient underwent a set of EMG tests before his occlusal plane was restored using a special material, immediately following reconstruction and, lastly, three months following the application of a prosthesis. The findings of these EMG tests have shown that the complex symptoms reported by the patient could be traced back to his occlusal plane. Once it was reconstructed, all the typical dental and non-dental symptoms of TMJ disorders subsided.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical localization of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the rabbit parotid gland was performed using an antibody against rabbit ANF and avidin-biotin or streptoavidin as detector. Results showed positivity in cuboidal and columnar cells of intralobular ducts and in basal cells of extralobular and main excretory duct. These data support the hypothesis that ANF produced by intralobular ducts could act through a paracrine mechanism; ANF produced by extralobular and main ducts may play a role in the regulation of salivary composition.

Abstract
Immunohistochemical research on the monoclonal antibody, anti-oxytocin, was carried out on hypothalamic accessory nuclei. The nuclei and the accessory neurons were strongly positive in much the same way as the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. These results indicate that the accessory nuclei are able to synthesize the neurohormone oxytocin. Based on the present research and on preceding papers, it is possible to affirm that the accessory nuclei synthesize both oxytocin and vasopressin. Therefore the accessory nuclei must be considered an integral part of the magnocellular hypothalamic neurosecretory system.

Abstract
Immunohistochemical research on atrioventricular valves in normotensive rats revealed that valvular myocardiocytes are the seat of synthesis of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The endocardial cells that border the atrial and ventricular surfaces also had granules which were positive for ANF. The ANF which is also synthesized in the valvular myocardiocytes moved towards the cardiac cavity and crossed the endocardial cells in the more distal areas of the valvular edge. At the same time, the ANF was routed into the blood vessels in the areas close to implantation.

Abstract
The functional relationships between the extraocular muscles of the myopic eye and the muscles of the neck were studied by means of electromyography, with the aim of demonstrating a possible alteration of the posture of the head due to abnormal tonus of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid mm. in subjects with defective vision. The study was conducted in a group of 10 subjects with normal vision and a group of 10 myopic subjects, between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Electromyographic recordings of the relevant muscles were made during varied eye movements. Analysis of the results demonstrated a marked difference in tonic activity of the named muscles between the myopic and the normal groups. The findings suggest that, in the correction of visual defects, attention should be paid to postural adjustment of the neck by means of a series of programmed exercises directed towards the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid mm.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the estrogen receptor (ER) expression and content in human aorta fragments removed at the time of by-pass surgery. To this end, we adopted a radioligand binding assay to evaluate either soluble (S) or nuclear (N) ER using dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) and filtration methods, respectively. To better define the intratissular distribution and content of ER, we also measured the presence of a 27 kDa heat shock protein (HSP27), a well established ER-associated protein, using D5 monoclonal antibody. Finally, we analysed the different molecular isoforms of both S and N ER using size exclusion-high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC). High affinity (type I) sites of estrogen binding were detected in 17 out of 19 samples in either S or N fraction, although only 9 out of 19 cases displayed site 1 ER in both cell compartments. ER levels in aortic tissues, detected by radioligand method, compare well with those we have found in other hormone-sensitive human cancer tissues and cells. SE-HPLC analysis revealed two main receptor isoforms in the soluble fraction, having 65 kDa and 18 kDa molecular mass, while a minor component of 29 kDa was also found; the nuclear fraction displayed again two major components of 38 and 23 kDa. Using the HSP27 immunohistochemistry we observed a major staining occurring in smooth muscle cells (SMC), with an increasing intensity towards the lumen. All samples, including the ER negative ones, exhibited some degree of histochemical staining. Using an arbitrary cut-off value, 7 out of 12 samples displayed a highly positive staining, 6 of which showed nuclear ER. Furthermore, SE-HPLC separation indicated the presence of a 64.9 kDa component in the soluble fraction, according to the well known relative molecular mass of ER. Following HSP27 immunohistochemistry, the overall staining intensity in aortic SMC approaches that seen in endometrial and breast epithelia, whilst the muscle ER content is generally lower. Although our data are compatible with a direct role of estrogens in arterial function, the extent of the link with arterial disease remains to be established.

Abstract
Immunohistochemical studies were performed using antivasopressin on the neurons and the accessory nuclei of the anterior hypothalamic region of rat. Accessory neurons had a positive vasopressin reaction which was similar to that already found in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. The accessory neurons should therefore be considered part of the neurosecretory magnocellular system because of their morphological aspect, and because of their secretory activity.

Abstract
The authors have studied the ultrastructural modifications after one year of a homologous bone grafting stored for 8 days in nitrogen liquid at -196 degrees C. It was observed that the osteocytes showed nuclear and cytoplasmic degenerations; the empty lacunae showed precipitates of mineralized matrix. In comparison with a bone autografting a homologous bone grafting lost the ability of bone synthesis.

Abstract
We studied many postural tests with an electromyographical methodology on a group of young men who had a right molar precontact. We compared the results of these tests before and after changing the right plantar arch by placing some plastic on the medial right margin of the homolateral plantar arch (talipes valgus) or on the whole plantar arch (flat foot). We demonstrated the dependence of the occlusal plane on the morphological variations of the plantar arch.

Abstract
The authors have shown, with the help of electromyography, the functional relationship which exists between the muscles of mastication and certain muscles of the leg after artificially creating interdental occlusal dysfonction. While the activity of the tibialis anterior was not affected by the alteration in occlusion, that of the peroneus longus and gastrocnemius was markedly changed. This is due to the activation of long muscle chains as a consequence of the activation of complex nervous reflexes.

Abstract
The dentate, triceps, deltoid and the middle bundle of the trapezius have been studied in two movements specific to boxing in a group of professionals. Analysis of results has shown a higher commitment of the trapezius; in the jab considerable deltoid activity was evident. In the upper-cut we noticed little commitment of the deltoid and triceps, in the jab, little commitment of dentate and triceps.

Abstract
Experiments on the biologic effects of ultrasound (US) were carried out on rat embryos exposed for 120 s to a US beam showing features similar to those already employed for diagnostic purposes. Electron microscopic investigation of the liver parenchyma of rat embryos confirmed results obtained from adult guinea pigs with the same duration of exposure, i.e. diffuse vacuolization of cytoplasma and varying degrees of mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
Within the limits of a systematic research on the biological effects of the ultrasounds, the authors refer on their personal experience on rat's embrions treated, for 120 seconds, with a ultrasonic beam having the common characteristics used in diagnostic investigations. The ultra-structural studies on the hepatic parenchyma substantially confirm the previous results obtained in the adult cavy, exposed for the same period of time, i.e. a diffuse cytoplasmic vacuolization and an unstable mitochondrial damage. Various suggestions are advanced on the particular sensibility that the mitocondria show because of the ultrasonic action. The authors explain the limits of their experimentation in this specific sector of the scientific research.

Abstract
A clinically normal 5 year old child with a family history of scoliosis was studied. Electromyography of the thoracic and lumbar erector spinae muscles and roentgenography of the spine were both done on two separate occasions, six months apart. On the first electromyographic investigation, moderate predominance of activity was found over the left thoracic erector spinae muscles. At that time, spinal roentgenography showed normal results, whereas six months later left thoracolumbar scoliosis was evident. It was concluded that electromyographic investigation is useful for the early diagnosis of scoliosis in school-age children.

Abstract
Many Authors described primary 9+0 cilia in different tissue of different animal species. In relation to the study on the ultrastructural architecture of the embryonic heart of a elasmobranch "Scyllium stellare", we saw some primary 9+0 cilia in very undifferentiated heart tissue. The hearts dissected from the Scyllium stellare embryo at 6 months of gestation, were processed for the observations at the transmission electron microscope. The cilia are found in deep invagination of the plasma membrane, near the Golgi complex and in the perinuclear region. Various functions have been postulated for the primary 9+0 cilia.

Abstract
Two cellular type, A and B cells, are evident in the intimal layer of the human synovial membrane. The Authors studied the B-cells that show in their cytoplasm some secretory granules that are still unknown. In the normal synovial membrane of human knee, with transmission electron microscopic techniques, the relationship between the B-cells and the blood capillary vessels and some morphological features of the secretory granules, are studied. The blood capillary vessels have a continuous cellular wall, surrounded by a basal membrane. Typical features of the B-cells are the marked development of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and dense secretory vesicles. The B-cells appear to constitute some specific secretory cells, but its function has yet to be determined.
