Occurence and cytodifferentiation of mucopolysaccharide secreting cells in the pancreas of children with nesidioblastosis.

Large numbers of mucopolysaccharide secreting cells were found in the pancreatic tissue of children with nesidioblastosis. Ultrastructural studies showed that mucus cells contained secretion granules and a characteristic smooth endoplasmic reticulum composed of an array of anastomosed tubules. The periodic acid - thiocarbohydrazide - silver reaction demonstrated the presence of glycogen in the hyaloplasm and of polysaccharides in secretion granules, the Golgi apparatus and in vesicles. A hypothesis is proposed, according to which mucus cells differentiate from a pancreatic stem cell common to both endocrine and exocrine tissues, through a mitochondria-rich intermediate cell stage.

Action of tiadenol and clofibrate on biliary excretions of cholesterol and bile salts in rats.

Biliary excretion of cholesterol, phospholipids and bile salts, and the excretion of labeled cholesterol injected intravenously were studied in rats treated for 1 or 3 weeks with the hypolipidemic drugs tiadenol and clofibrate. Total biliary cholesterol concentration and output decreased in treated rats, and the cholesterol solubility ratio increased. The excretion of labeled bile salts increased with both drugs; the excretion of labeled cholesterol increased with clofibrate and tended to decrease with tiadenol. The ratio of labeled bile salts/labeled cholesterol was higher with tiadenol than with clofibrate.

[Action of somatostatin and 3 analogs on external pancreatic secretion in the rat].

The effect os somatostatin (SS) and of its analogs D Trp 8-SS and Asn 5-SS was studied upon the external pancreatic secretion of the Rat after stimulation by 2 deoxy-D-glucose. The secretion of sodium and bicarbonate was similarly inhibited by all four peptides. The analog D Trp 8-SS was more effective in inhibiting pancreatic protein excretion.

Parietal cell vagotomy in dogs. A comparative study of the effects on gastric secretion and antral muscle contraction.

The aim of this work was to further investigate whether it is possible, through parietal cell vagotomy (PCV), to obtain both a complete suppression of the gastric secretory response to vagal impulses and to retain a normal contractile response of the antral muscle. Acid and peptic secretions, the electrical activity and the force of circular antral contractions were simultaneously studied in dogs, before and after PCV, under 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) and pentagastrin (PG) stimulation. After PCV, the response to 200 mg/kg 2DG was reduced by about 70% for acid and 80% for pepsin; the slopes of the dose-response curves were significantly reduced after PCV. The slope of the regression line pepsin/acid after 2DG was decreased following PCV. The mean acid response to PG was reduced about 50% after PCV. Plasma immunoreactive gastrin increased following 2DG, and the variations were identical before and after PCV. The gastric control electrical activity in basal conditions (fasted dogs) and following 2DG was similar before and after PCV. The antral contractile response to 2DG was reduced by about 40% after PCV. In conclusion, when PCV induced an 80% reduction in the gastric secretory response to maximal vagal stimulation by 2DG, the contractile antral response was not entirely normal. This effect might be due either to a partial antral denervation or to some intrinsic influence of the denervated gastric body upon the strength of antral contractions.

Methadone blockade of 2-deoxyglucose-induced pancreatic secretion in the rat.

The effects of methadone on pancreatic exocrine secretions in the rat were tested under basal conditions and after hormonal stimulation by secretin and caerulein or after stimulation of the differentially acting cholinergic agents acetylcholine, 2-deoxyglucose, and electrical stimulation of the vagus. Methadone had no effect on basal hydroelectrolytic secretion. It decreased basal enzyme secretion very slightly under our experimental conditions. The stimulatory effects of 75 mg of 2-deoxyglucose per kg were completely blocked by methadone at 5 mg per kg and this blockade was reversed by nalorphine at 6 to 9 mg per kg. It was found that there are doses of methadone (100 microgram) which block 2-deoxyglucose effects when injected into brain ventricles but are ineffective when systemically introduced. The effects of secretin, caerulein, acetylcholine, and electrical stimulation of the vagus were not depressed by methadone. These results strongly suggest that the methadone blockade of 2-deoxyglucose effects occurs at a central level and is mediated by narcotic drug receptors.

The effects of tiadenol, clofibrate and clofibride on bile composition in the rat.

Biliary secretion was studied in normolipidemic rats after a 7 day treatment with the hypolipidemic drugs, tiadenol (bis-(hydroxyethylthio)-1,10-decane), clofibrate and clofibride (chloro-4-phenoxy-2-methyl-2-propionate of dimethylcarbamoyl-3-propyl). All three drugs decreased blood cholesterol and total lipids, increased liver weight and liver catalase content, and decreased biliary excretion of cholesterol. The biliary concentrations of bile salts, phospholipids and cholesterol decreased to a variable extent, in such a way that the ratio of bile salts + phospholipids to cholesterol was increased by the drugs. The bile salt independent fraction was increased. The effects were qualitatively similar for all three drugs tested, but quanitative differences appeared for some of the parameters.

Effects of chronic ethanol consumption on pancreatic response to central vagal stimulation by 2-deoxy-D-glucose in the rat.

Male Wistar rats, fed a standard normal laboratory diet, drank ad libitum a 20% ethanol solution for 3 months. Basal and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) stimulated pancreatic secretion were measured. Basal secretion of sodium (-30%, p less than 0.001), bicarbonate (-35%, p less than 0.001) and total protein (-35%, p less than 0.001) were depressed in alcoholic versus control rats. Pancreatic response was identical in both groups with the smaller dose of 2DG, dose related in controls, and identical for both doses in alcohol-fed rats. The response was thus significantly smaller in alcohol-fed rats than in controls for the larger dose of 2DG (p less than 0.01). Pancreatic concentration and contents of amylase, trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and lipase were all decreased in alcoholic versus control rats (40-60%, p less than 0.001). These results are consistent with the hypothesis of functional modifications in pancreatic cholinergic innervation in alcohol-fed rats.

Inhibition of gastric electrical and mechanical activity by intraduodenal agents in pigs and the effects of vagotomy.

Miniature pigs were chronically implanted with gastric electrodes, strain gauge devices allowing the measurement of circular contractions in the antrum and body of the stomach, and with a duodenal catheter through which duodenal infusions were administered. Inhibition of gastric motility by intraduodenal agents was measured before and after truncal vagotomy in conscious animals 20 min after feeding of a normal meal. The agents infused in the duodenum (10 ml/min, 4 min), were: HCl 75 mEq/l(A), glucose 100 g/l(G), olive oil 10% pH 7(L), amino acids (AA) and saline. Before vagotomy, motor activity during the first 5 min was inhibited 50-80% with respect to basal levels; the duration of action was G No. L greater than A; AA had very little effect, and saline no effect. Inhibition was on the whole similar in the antrum and gastric body. After vagotomy, the inhibitory effect of A was reduced from 80 to 20% in the antrum, and completely suppressed in the gastric body. Inhibitory effects of G and L were completely suppressed.

Isoproterenol induced pancreatic secretion in rats. A comparison with secretin.

The stimulatory effects of isoproterenol and secretin on external pancreatic secretion were compared in the rat. 1. In acute fistula, pylorus ligation, atropine, glucagon did not change either of the stimulated secretions. Propranolol inhibited isoproterenol-induced secretion and did not change secretin induced stimulation. Theophylline alone displayed a large hydrelatic stimulatory effect, without increasing protein excretion; the effect of theophylline was additive with the effects of isoproterenol or secretin but no evidence was found of potentiation or prolongation of action. Isoproterenol did not increase pancreatic blood flow and induced no variations in the plasma levels of immunoreactive secretin. Combining various doses of isoproterenol and secretin did not allow to reach secretory levels greater than the maximal response to secretin. 2. In conscious rats chronic fistulae, isoproterenol and secretin had a distinct effect.
