Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

  • New Developments in Goblet Cell Mucus Secretion and Function
    REVIEW nature publishing group New developments in goblet cell mucus secretion and function GMH Birchenough1, MEV Johansson1, JK Gustafsson1, JH Bergstro¨m1 and GC Hansson1 Goblet cells and their main secretory product, mucus, have long been poorly appreciated; however, recent discoveries have changed this and placed these cells at the center stage of our understanding of mucosal biology and the immunology of the intestinal tract. The mucus system differs substantially between the small and large intestine, although it is built around MUC2 mucin polymers in both cases. Furthermore, that goblet cells and the regulation of their secretion also differ between these two parts of the intestine is of fundamental importance for a better understanding of mucosal immunology. There are several types of goblet cell that can be delineated based on their location and function. The surface colonic goblet cells secrete continuously to maintain the inner mucus layer, whereas goblet cells of the colonic and small intestinal crypts secrete upon stimulation, for example, after endocytosis or in response to acetyl choline. However, despite much progress in recent years, our understanding of goblet cell function and regulation is still in its infancy. THE INTESTINE system of mucus covering the epithelium. There is a The gastrointestinal tract is a remarkable organ. Not only can it two-layered mucus system in the stomach and colon and a digest most of our food into small components, but it is also single-layered mucus in the small intestine.5 The mucus layers filled with kilograms of microbes that live in stable equilibrium in these three regions perform their protective function using with us and our immune system.

For this reason, it is critical to have cost-effective surveillance and prevention strategies and early and accurate diagnosis, as well as evidence-based treatment guidelines. Barrett’s esophagus is the most important precursor lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma, which follows a defined metaplasia–dysplasia–carcinoma sequence. Accurate recognition of dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus is crucial due to its pivotal prognostic value. For early-stage esophageal adenocarcinoma, depth of submucosal invasion is a key prognostic factor. Our systematic review of all published data demonstrates a “rule of doubling” for the frequency of lymph node metastases: tumor invasion into each progressively deeper third of submucosal layer corresponds with a twofold increase in the risk of nodal metastases (9.9% in the superficial third of submucosa (sm1) group, 22.0% in the middle third of submucosa (sm2) group, and 40.7% in deep third of submucosa (sm3) group). Other important risk factors include lymphovascular invasion, tumor differentiation, and the recently reported tumor budding. In this review, we provide a concise update on the histopathological features, ancillary studies, molecular signatures, and surveillance/management guidelines along the natural history from Barrett’s esophagus to early stage invasive adenocarcinoma for practicing pathologists.

Immunohistochemistry (n = 38) revealed commonness of ‘gastro-pancreatobiliary markers’ (CK7 55, MUC1 50, MUC5AC 50, and MUC6 34%), whereas ‘intestinal markers’ were relatively less common (MUC2 36, CK20 42, and CDX2 44%). Squamous and mucinous differentiation were rare (in five each); previously, unrecognized adenocarcinoma patterns were noted (three microcystic/vacuolated, two cribriform, one of comedo-like, oncocytic papillary, and goblet-cell-carcinoid-like).

Mononuclear leukocytes were the predominant inflammatory cell throughout the study, although polymorphonuclear cell infiltrates were detected as well. Immunohistochemical analyses of gastric mucosa from H. felis-infected mice revealed the presence of mucosal B220+ cells coalescing into lymphoid follicles surrounded by aggregates of Thy-1.2+ T cells; CD4+, CD5+, and of T cells predominated in organized gastric mucosal and submucosal lymphoid tissue, and CD11b+ cells occurred frequently in the mucosa. Follicular B cells comprised immunoglobulin M' (IgM+) and IgA+ cells. Numerous IgA-producing B cells were present in the gastric glands, the lamina propria, and gastric epithelium. Infected animals developed anti-H. felis serum IgM antibody responses up to 8 weeks postinfection and significant levels of IgG anti-H. felis antibody in serum, which remained elevated throughout the 50-week course of the study.

  • The Digestive and Endocrine Systems Examination
    The Digestive and Lesson 3 Endocrine Systems Lesson 3 ASSIGNMENT 6 Read in your textbook, Clinical Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians, pages 358–377, 436, and 474–475. Then read Assignment 6 in this study guide. Introduction The endocrine system involves the secretion of chemicals called hormones by glands within the body. These chemicals control bodily functions, often at locations very distant from the gland that secreted the chemical. The opposite of endocrine is exocrine, which involves the secretion of sub- stances into spaces outside the body. The glands in the skin and gastrointestinal tract are examples of exocrine organs. (The lumen of the intestine is a space that technically isn’t “within” the body, because it’s continuous with the outside environment via the mouth and anus.) The pancreas is unique in being both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. The endocrine function is the secretion of substances such as insulin, which metabolizes sugar. The exocrine function involves the secretion of digestive enzymes into the duodenum. Many endocrine organs exist throughout the body (see Table 15-2 on page 360 of your textbook). While they’re all classified as endocrine glands, their anatomy and functions aren’t necessarily similar or even remotely related. Therefore, there isn’t really a grand organizational scheme to this sys- tem as there is with some of the other body systems. The glands are considered together only because their means of secretion is similar. All endocrine glands secrete hormones in the form of proteins that travel via the blood to the target organ for that particular hormone.
