[Ultrastructure of the cellular elements of mouse rhabdomyosarcoma].

The ultrastructure of different types of cell elements of rhabdomyosarcoma clones induced by 20-methylcholanthrene in mice CC57W is described. Along with general signs of a decreased differentiation typical for blastic cells of different histogenesis (rough endoplasmic reticulum, an abundance of free ribosomes, etc) some types of cell elements of myoblasts are characterized by specific features such as the character of anastomoses, fibrillary structures, etc. Morover, as a pathognomonic sign for tumorous myoblasts at the ultrastructural level could be only the presence of myofibrils with periodic aggragations like Z-bands in their cytoplasm. Since within one clone population both cells with and without myofibrils were encountered, the absence of the latter should not be considered to be a criterion for denying the myogenic nature of such cell elements.

[Detection of the range of cytological changes in tumors induced in rats by nitrosoamines by means of passage in the anterior chamber of the eye].

12 rat liver tumors (high, purely and low differentiated hepatomas and adenocarcinomas), 3 kidney tumors, 1 lymphosarcoma and 1 round cell sarcoma of the uterus were transplanted and passed trough anterior chamber of the allogenic rat eyes. In 8 primary transplants of the liver tumors differentiation traits increased; three of them were morphologically undistinguishable from the normal liver tissue. In some transplants of embryonic liver and kidney displasia was detected. The results obtained give evidence in favor of a very high cytological variability of tumors at the early steps of progression, and indicate that the cultivation in the anterior chamber of the eye may be a proper model for investigation of cytological variability of both malignant and normal tissues.
