Structural patterns and histological behaviour of experimental sarcomas. I. General considerations, histology and histochemistry.

Methylcholanthrene-induced rat sarcomas were used as a model for the examination of morphological and cytological differentiations in tumours of the connective tissue. Particular attention was paid to the question how far these sarcomas are comparable to human connective tissue tumours. The histological examination yields a broad spectrum of mesenchymal differentiations ranging from undifferentiated anaplastic sarcomas over less differentiated fibrosarcomas and malignant fibrous histocytomas to well-differentiated fibrosarcomas, myosarcomas and haemangiopericytomas. It is worth mentioning that different histological structures can be encountered with one and the same tumour.

Structural patterns and histological behaviour of experimental sarcomas. II. Ultrastructural cytology.

In continuation of our investigations on methylcholanthrene-induced rat sarcomas, in analogy to light microscopical results, various cytological differentiations could be demonstrated by the electron microscope. Some tumour cells are comparable to the cellular counterpart in normal connective tissue, whereas most of the tumour cells show various series of cytological traits of different types of normal connective tissue cells simultaneously. The vast majority of tumour cells exhibited characteristics of fibroblasts and histiocytes coincidently. However, classical fibroblasts and histiocytes were seldom present. One part of the tumour cells showed structural features as known from so-called myofibroblasts and smooth muscles cells. Furthermore, vasoformative potencies of sarcomas with imitation of endothelial and pericytic cells must be emphasized. With respect to the histogenesis of these sarcomas possible origin from the microvasculature is discussed.

Antibiotic treatment, intestinal aerobic microflora and experimental sarcoma L-1 growth in Balb/c-mice.

The present paper deals with the influence of a 10 days treatment with mezlocillin, piperacillin, cefotaxime, clindamycin or gentamicin on the endogenous intestinal microflora of Balb/c-mice and on the local growth of sarcoma L-1 tumor. Clindamycin and gentamicin demonstrated no influence, whereas cefotaxime and piperacillin caused the eradication of gram-negative resp. gram-positive bacteria but these antibiotics didn't produce a growth inhibition of local L-1 sarcoma tumor. The oral or parenteral application of mezlocillin (a 3 days treatment was sufficient) eradicated the complete aerobic and anaerobic intestinal microflora. This effect was significantly correlated with an increase of the cecum weight and the inhibition of local tumor growth. Possible mechanisms of these effects are discussed.
