Sexual and asexual development of Cryptosporidium parvum in five oocyst- or sporozoite-infected human enterocytic cell lines.

The human enterocytic cell lines Caco-2, HT29, HCT8 and the Caco-2 clones TC7 and PF11 were studied for their ability to support Cryptosporidium parvum development. Following the addition in cultures of either oocysts or excysted sporozoites, immunofluorescent and transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of all stages of the parasite life cycle by both procedures, and no difference in the ratio of infected cells was found among cell lines. More oocysts were seen in cell monolayers infected with oocysts than with sporozoites (p < 0.0001). The number of meronts observed was the same after either oocysts or sporozoites inoculation. Data suggest that the two methods yield a same cell infection rate.

[Venous vascularization of the lentiform nucleus].

The venous vascularization of the nucleus lentiformis in man is studied in 30 brains by injecting the vascular system with gelatinous Indian ink. The venous vascularization of the nucleus lentiformis is drained towards the deep venous system of the brain by two ways, one ascending, the other descending. The first one is formed by superior lenticular veins which drain into the thalamo-striate vein, principal tributary of the internal cerebral vein. The second one is formed by inferior lenticular veins which depend from the deep middle cerebral vein, another tributary of the internal cerebral vein. The veins of the nucleus lentiformis, especially the veins of the putamen, present many similarities with these one of the cerebral cortex. They form the center of venous units surrounded by an arterial ring formed by the branches of ramification of the central arteries. The principal vein of the unit is surrounded by a capillary-free space. This similarities may be explained by the common origin of the cerebral cortex and of the putamen, both belong to the neocortical system.
