A specimen of the red mullet (Mullus surmuletus L.), caught in Plymouth waters in October 1949, was found to have tumours projecting externally on the pectoral fins. They were spherical or elliptical in shape, the largest being 20 mm. long. On the suggestion of Mr G. A. Steven some of these outgrowths were cut out and given to the writer for microscopic examination.When examined fresh they appear to consist of small, spherical, cyst-like bodies of various diameters, but there was no obvious clue as to their nature. After fixing in Bouin and sectioning, they are seen to be composed of cells of various sizes (PI. I, figs. 1–4). It can be seen that these cells lie close to one another, leaving only a little space for the embedding connective tissue which is characterized by the abundance of its own small cells. The blood vessels met with in this tissue contain fish erythrocytes. The whole is covered by stratified squamous epithelium (PI. I, fig. 2).

Domestical catfish is grouped into omnivora, although the fish is tended into carnivora.  The aim of the present study was to investigate histology of alimentary tract of domestical catfish (Clarias batrachus). In order to determine alimentary tract of domestical catfish, oesophagus, gastric and intestines is investigated by Haematoxilin Eosin. Histology exploration was performed each layer of alimentary tract’s wall consist of lamina epithelia, propria, and muscularis mucosa. Collagen connective tissue was developed tunica submucosa. The muscle of tunica muscularis was performed circular and elongated. Dense connective tissue and blood vessels was located in the tunica serosa. Histology exploration revealed has stratified squamous epithelium, mucosit cells, eosinophilic club cells on the lamina epithelia, and taste buds on the lamina propria in oesophagus. Gastric was establised simple prismatic cells, and glands of gastric on the lamina propria. Furthermore intestine was showed villi and goblet cells. There were not showed Brunner and Liberkhun gland. In conclusion, histology of alimentary tract was revealed from tunica mucosa, submucosa, and serosa.

Abstract Osseointegrated dental implants are inserted into the alveolar ridge, and for them to function as tooth replacements, the surrounding tissues need to adapt to them. Just as with teeth, dental implants traverse the oral mucosa and have access to the contaminated environment of the oral cavity. Therefore, periodontal and peri-implant tissues are important for establishing a protective barrier. The aim of the present study was to perform a histologic analysis of the mucosa surrounding osseointegrated implant cover screws. For this study, 17 mucosal specimens were obtained from 12 patients during the second surgical session for implant exposure to the oral environment. After histologic preparation, specimens were sectioned perpendicularly to the mucosal surface to a thickness of about 3 µm, stained with 1% toluidine blue, and examined under light microscopy. All specimens showed a keratinized, stratified, squamous epithelium with well-defined strata. In the lamina propria, unorganized dense connective tissue was noted in the reticular layer, and in 4 samples, a chronic inflammatory infiltrate was seen in this region. The papillary layer presented tall connective papillae consisting of loose connective tissue. The results of this study confirm the hypothesis that the mucosa that conceals osseointegrated implant cover screws has the same morphologic characteristics as the alveolar masticatory mucosa. Furthermore, clinical conditions of normality in peri-implant tissues may not coincide with situations of histologic normality.

Background. Oral fibromas are benign, asymptomatic, smooth surfaced, firm structured tumoral lesions that originate from gingival connective tissue or periodontal ligament. Histologically, they are nodular masses characterized by a dense connective tissue, surrounded by stratified squamous epithelium.Case Report. This case report includes the clinical, radiographical, and histological findings and periodontal treatment of a 38-year-old female patient having painless swelling on the gingiva. Intraoral examination revealed a fibrotic, sessile, smooth surfaced gingival overgrowth interdentally between the teeth #13 and #14. Radiographical findings were normal. Initial periodontal treatment (IPT) was applied including oral hygiene instructions, scaling, and root planing. Following IPT, the lesion (0.7 × 0.6 × 0.4 cm) was excised and examined histopathologically. Subsequently, flap operation was performed to have an access to alveolar bone. Surgical site was reconstructed with free gingival graft obtained from hard palate. Hematoxylin-eosin stained sections revealed a nodular mass composed by dense collagen fibers in lamina propria covered by a stratified squamous epithelium, which were consistent with fibroma. Gingival healing was uneventful and without any recurrence during the 12-month follow-up.Conclusions. In order to achieve optimal functional and aesthetical outcomes, free gingival graft can be used for the reconstruction of the wound site after the excision of the fibroma.

It is well established that in the developing chick the underlying mesenchyme initiates the appearance of specific epidermal derivatives, e.g. feathers (Sengel, 1956), claws (Cairns & Saunders, 1954), and the preen gland (Gomot, 1958). On the other hand, it is not yet known to what extent the epidermis is independent of mesenchymal intervention for its basic differentiation into a stratified, squamous epithelium. Sobel's (1958) work on the 8-day chick pituitary suggests that the differentiation and multiplication of certain epithelial cells cannot proceed in the absence of mesenchymal elements. She found that the isolated epithelial cells of the hypophysial rudiment survived but were unable to differentiate or multiply; when associated with perichondrial fibroblasts, however, they resumed mitosis and produced typical α and β cells. In the first part of the present investigation, experiments were made to see whether the embryonic epidermis, like the hypophysial epithelium, requires the resence of fibroblasts to enable it to grow and differentiate, or whether it can proliferate, acquire its characteristic squamous structure and keratinize, when isolated and cultivated in the absence of connective tissue.

ABSTRACT Epidermoid cyst occurring within the tongue is rare. A 5-year- old male child was brought to outpatient department (OPD) with a tongue mass which was gradually increasing in size. There was associated difficulty in speech and mastication as the swelling increased in size. Intraoral examination revealed moderately tender, fluctuant and enlarged tongue. A diagnosis of dermoid cyst was made and the patient was booked for surgery. Excision of the cyst was done under general anesthesia. Postoperative histopathology was done. The histopathological findings confirm the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst, characterized by the presence of: (i) a cyst cavity lined by stratified squamous epithelium with keratinization on the surface; and (ii) connective tissue with a mild inflammation. The proposed treatment was considered successful as the case was solved and there was no recurrence. How to cite this article Naik C, Prusty N. Epidermoid Cyst of Tongue: A Case Presentation.

The gross and microscopic structure of the auditory meatus of the harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) is described from dissections and serial sections. The meatus bends ventrally from the oval external orifice, posteroventrally, ventrally, and finally medially into the cranium. The ventrally directed wall of the meatus is membranous, the posteroventral and ventrally directed wall is incompletely wrapped by cartilage, and the medially directed wall is bony. The areas between sections of the cartilaginous wall ate completed by connective tissue. The meatus is closed internally by the intrinsic helicis and antitragicus auricular muscles. The external orifice is closed by the superficial auricular muscles. The auditory meatus is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, sebaceous glands, and ceruminous glands. Longitudinal blood sinuses and elastic fibers in the hypodermis may function as a pressure regulating device during diving. Blood sinuses are most prominent in the bony region of the meatus and extend into the tympanic sulcus of the pars tensa. Blood sinuses engorged with blood and a closed meatus may enhance transmission of sound to the tympanic membrane when the seal is under water.

Pterygium internum (external eye layer) shows great recurrence tendency after surgical removal. Its etiology is still unclear and represents a significant problem. The main goal of our study was to explore the interrelationships of pathohistological characteristics of pterygium, namely presence of inflammation, vascularisation degree and fibrinoid changes and on the basis of their analysis to test the possibility of predicting its evolution and recurrence. The analysis was performed on the material taken from 55 patients surgically treated by the technique of Arlt. The specimens were stained using the classical histochemical methods: hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson’s trichrome, Gomori’s reticulin stain and PAS technique. Pterygium is mostly covered by conjunctival epithelium, while in the cap region shows morphology of modified stratified squamous epithelium of the cornea. Structural basis of the epithelium is composed of continuous basal lamina and continuous connective fibers underneath. This connective basis shows fibrinoid changes in the form of oval islets of different size, parallel to convexity of pterygium, or is in the form of unified focus. The number, caliber and the type of blood vessels showed excessive variability.Pathohistological analysis of morphological characteristics of pterygium is adequate basis for prediction of recurrences; as they present the biggest concern in treatment of this widely spread disease.

Arsha is a gift of modern diets and busy lifestyles & many people are suffering from some sort of Anorectal disorder. It may be simple constipation to complex carcinoma, in which prominent disorder is Arsha. Derangement of Jatharagni leading to vitiation of Tridosha, mainly vata dosha these vitiated Doshas get localized in Gudavali and Pradhana dhamani which further vitiates Twak, Mamsa, and Meda Dhatus leads to development of Arsha.  The perianal skin is most pain sensitive, due to rich nerve endings. Hence even a mild form of disorder can produce great discomfort to the patient. On the basis of observation and statistics we got positive response for this parameters Malabaddhata 23 (71.88%), Abhishyandiahar 23 (71.88%), Guruahar 27 (84.38%), Diwaswap 18 (56.25%), Adhyashana 27 (84.38%), Prushtayana 29 (90.63%), Vegavidharana 32 (100%), Shavathu 24 (75%), Mamsashotha 19 (59.38%), Siragranthi 26 (81.25%), Amlika 21 (65.62%), Paridaha 18 (56.25%), Atop 28 (81.25%), Antrakujan 22 (68.76%), Gudaparikartan 32 (100%). In histopathology report we found fibromuscular tissue, stratified squamous epithelium, dilated and congested blood vessels which is the moolsthana of mamsavaha strotas. That means mamsavaha strotas dusti is co related with bahya arsha. This shows that there is significant correlation of origin of Bahya Arsha from Mamsavaha strotas dushti. Keywords- Arsha, mamsavaha srotas, dushti, malabaddhata, guda, histopathology

The stratified squamous epithelium which lines the ruminal compartment of the bovine stomach performs at least three important functions. (1) The upper keratinized layer forms a protective shield against the rough, fibrous, constantly moving ingesta. (2) It is an organ of absorption since a number of substances are absorbed directly through the epithelium. These include short chain fatty acids, potassium, sodium and chloride ions, water, and many others. (3) The cells of the deeper layers metabolize butyric acid and to a lesser extent propionic and acetic acids which are the fermentation products of rumen digestion. Because of the functional characteristics, this epithelium is important in the digestive process of ruminant species which convert large quantities of rough, fibrous feed into energy.Tissue used in this study was obtained by biopsy through a rumen fistula from clinically healthy, yearling holstein steers. The animals had been fed a typical diet of hay and grain and the ruminal papillae were fully developed. The tissue was immediately immersed in 1% osmium tetroxide buffered to a pH of 7.4 and fixed for 2 hrs. The tissue blocks were embedded in Vestapol-W, sectioned with a Porter-Blum microtome with glass knives and stained with lead hydroxide. The sections were studied with an RCA EMU 3F electron microscope.
