The ultrastructure of corified skin.

We studied the ultrastructure of human skin in a particular form of postmortem transformation: so-called "corification." Six- and 12-month-old corpses were examined. The epidermis showed a remarkable ultrastructural preservation of its components comparable to freshly fixed material. The dermis was less well preserved with altered bandage of collagen fibrils and amorphous precipitates in the ground substance. No explanation is found for such a phenomenon.

A case of dysembryogenesis of the aortic arches.

A medico-legal necropsy conducted on a stillborn child revealed certain abnormalities of the heart and the large vessels. Both the pulmonary artery and the aorta issued from the right ventricle, while the left ventricle communicated with the right superiorly and below the crest. There was no ductus arteriosus. As far the vessels were concerned, it was found that the aortic arch was directed rightwards, the innominate artery was absent and the right subclavian and common carotid issued directly from the arch. On the left, too, it was noted that the subclavian issued from the left branch of the pulmonary artery. If is suggested that these alterations were the result of primary obliteration of the left 4th aortic arch. This would explain both the dextroversion of the final arch and the absence of the anonymous artery. A further outcome would be prevention of the normal formation of the left subclavian, and its derivation from the left component of the 6th pair of aortic arches. Histological sections of the large vessels examined were prepared for investigation under the light microscope.

Ultrastructure of human tissues after prolonged interment in metal-lined coffins.

The ultrastructure of certain tissues is sometimes preserved after lengthy interment in metal-lined coffins. Susceptible structures of the epidermis, such as the mitochondria and nuclear envelopes, may be clearly identifiable. Electron microscopy thus permits recognition not only of individual cell types, but also of different intracytoplasmic organelles. In the same way, striped muscle fibers are well preserved, and all components of sarcomeres may be distinguished.

Ultrastructural aspects of electric burn in man.

The authors have studied the ultrastructural aspects of the electric burn in human skin. They divide the lesion in three areas: a central one, in which the stratum corneum is almost completely lost, and the other strata are reduced only to fragment oriented in an univocal direction; an intermediate area, in which this orientation is visible also in nuclei, desmosomes, tonofilaments, and in which the nuclei appear elongated respect to those of control section; and finally a peripheral area in which damages are very reduced, but in which are present elongation of nuclei and other structures and orientation. The possibility of an action due to an electro-magnetic field is discussed.

Fine structure of post-mortal tissues transformations. Preliminary observations.

The Authors have studied the ultrastructure of human skin in a particular anomalous form of post-mortal transformation: the so called corification. Some structures (cell membranes, desmosomes, mitochondria, nuclear envelopes) are well preserved, while other structures (such as endoplasmic reticulum) are upset. These observations suggested that in the corification endogenous and exogenous enzymatic actions are extremely inhibited.

[Removable electromagnetic transducer for the study of cardiac minute volume in the conscious dog].

The study aimed at evaluating the reliability of a new type of aortic flow probes to be used in conscious dogs and easy to be removed without a second surgical intervention, 48-72 hours after they have been implanted. The probes, which have been made in the Department of Human Physiology of the University of Turin, are light and thin enough to be cronically implanted around the aorta without removing the fat which surrounds the artery, and to be taken away without injuring the tissues. The records obtained 24 and 48 hours after they have been positioned, demonstrate the reliability of the probes. Histological examination of the aorta has not evidenced any tissue reaction.
