Although capping structures are present at the tips of microtubules in both growing cilia and mature cilia, previous work has not determined the time of cap formation. The results reported here reveal that the large caps of mature palate cilia appear in cilia with lengths as short as 1.75 micron. In the growing palate cilium, a disk-shaped plate is formed at the tip during the first micron of growth. As the cilium elongates to 1.5-2.0 microns, a small plate forms underneath the disk-shaped plate that gives an asymmetrical appearance to the whole cap structure. The structure of the cap is complete in cilia longer than 2.0 microns. The hair-like structures that form the extraciliary crown appear on the membrane at the ciliary tip at the same time as the mature cap is forming. The formation of a cap structure is discussed in relation to microtubule assembly during ciliogenesis.

By means of fluorescein-labelled antibody staining, specific influenza viral antigens were seen in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus of infected ciliated epithelial cells covering the nasal turbinates of infected ferrets. Initially, only a small portion of the nasal epithelium showed fluorescence, and no appreciable abnormality of the cells could be detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The fluorescence soon spread to involve the entire epithelium, followed by desquamation coinciding with the onset of manifest illness. Pneumonia was seen in some of the infected ferrets, and in them, viral antigens were found in the bronchial epithelium and in the mediastinal lymph nodes. A rise of viral infectivity titer paralleled the observed spread of viral antigens. Many desquamated nasal epithelial cells and macrophages containing antigen were present in nasal smears. The finding would seem to offer a method for the rapid specific diagnosis of influenza infection.

We report on a patient initially diagnosed with a chronic subdural haematoma that was resistant to treatment. After the second burr hole craniostomy within a half month failed to resolve the subdural haematoma (SDH), we performed a craniotomy to identify the point of bleeding. Macroscopic evaluation showed that most of the outer membrane of the SDH was transparent; however, further examination revealed the presence of multiple white regions. Pathologic examination showed that the white regions were fluid filled and surrounded by columnar ciliated epithelial cells. These lesions were pathologically diagnosed as neurenteric cysts. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a patient with neurenteric cysts found on the outer membrane of a CSDH. We agree that a craniotomy is a treatment of last resort for recurrent CSDHs; however, sometimes this procedure can be very useful for identifying underlying causes of obstinate SDHs as well as for their treatment.
