海水硬骨鱼白点病组织病理学研究

在光镜水平下研究了刺激隐核虫寄生黄鳍鲷和真鲷后引起宿主组织病理学的变化。该寄生虫可在宿主皮肤、鳃上皮和舌上皮的组织内寄生。与正常组织相比,被寄生的皮肤表皮层明显增厚、粗糙,其增厚部分主要是粘液细胞层、表皮层与真皮层间的联系被破坏。寄生囊内有较大的空隙。虫体内含有大量的宿主细胞残骸。由于寄生虫的感染,使得非寄生部位的脏器也出现某些病理变化:肝细胞萎缩,窦状隙增大;脾肾内都有颗粒性沉积。本研究结果还与淡水“白点”病引起的病理组织学变化进行了比较。     

石斑鱼烂尾病的病理组织学观察

对点带石斑鱼【Epinethelus malabaricus(Block et Schreider)】烂尾病进行了病理组织学观察。结果表明:烂尾病的病因是病原菌侵袭病鱼,而产生一系列的炎症反应,在病原菌的影响下,病鱼的尾柄部鳞片松脱,皮肤裸露、溃烂,最后鳍条脱落,鳃、肝脏、肾脏、心脏、肠等器官均有不同程度的病变。还对烂尾病产生的原因和病变过程进行了探讨,并提出控制烂尾病发生的一些途径。     

Estuarine ecological risk based on hepatic histopathological indices from laboratory and in situ tested fish

Juvenile Senegalese soles were exposed through 28-day laboratory and field (in situ) bioassays to sediments from three sites of the Sado estuary (W Portugal): a reference and two contaminated by metallic and organic contaminants. Fish were surveyed for ten hepatic histopathological alterations divided by four distinct reaction patterns and integrated through the estimation of individual histopathological condition indices. Fish exposed to contaminated sediments sustained more damage, with especial respect to regressive changes like necrosis. However, differences were observed between laboratory- and field-exposed animals, with the latest, for instance, exhibiting more pronounced fatty degeneration and hepatocellular eosinophilic alteration. Also, some lesions in fish exposed to the reference sediment indicate that in both assays unaccounted variables produced experimental background noise, such as hyaline degeneration in laboratory-exposed fish. Still, the field assays yielded results that were found to better reflect the overall levels of contaminants and physico-chemical characteristics of the tested sediments.     

中华绒螯蟹颤抖病组织病理学研究

采用常规石蜡切片技术、以正常样品作对照,对患颤抖病的中华绒整蟹不同组织进行病理学观察,旨在为颤抖病病原的确定及诊断等提供参考,同时期望加深对河蟹发病机制及死亡过程的认识。结果表明,患病河蟹的鳃、心脏、肝胰腺、腹节神经等组织器官发生了不同程度的病变,其病理特征主要表现为：细胞浊肿、变性、坏死,某些细胞的细胞核固缩、碎裂或崩解;结合前人的研究,推测鳃、心脏、肝胰腺、腹节神经是病原体感染河蟹的主要靶组织器官;河蟹具有重要生理功能的鳃、心脏、肝胰腺组织发生了严重病变,使其功能遭到破坏,这可能是导致河蟹发病死亡的病理学基础。     

Biomarker responses in Macoma nasuta (Bivalvia) exposed to sediments from northern San Francisco Bay

Our study investigates biomarker responses and survival of Macoma nasuta exposed to sediments collected from six locations in northern San Francisco Bay. Biomarkers analyzed were stress proteins (hsp70) in gill, mantle and digestive gland, lysosomal membrane damage and histopathologic lesions. Sediments and clam tissues were analyzed for a comprehensive suite of heavy metals and trace organic pollutants. Sediment grain size and organic carbon content were determined. Clams accumulated metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides (aldrin and p,p^′-DDT and its metabolites p,p^′-DDD and p,p^′-DDE). Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis revealed that mortality, hsp70 in gill and histopathologic lesion scores in gonads, and lysosomal membrane damage were significantly correlated with tissue concentrations of DDT and/or its metabolites. Tissue concentrations of metals, in particular nickel, chromium, and copper, were associated with macrophage aggregates in digestive gland and germ cell necrosis. Cadmium was linked to mortality and lysosomal membrane damage.     

Retrospective analysis: bile hydrocarbons and histopathology of demersal rockfish in Prince William Sound,Alaska, after the Exxon Valdez oil spill

Demersal rockfish are the only fish species that have been found dead in significant numbers after major oil spills, but the link between oil exposure and effect has not been well established. After the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska, several species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from oiled and reference sites were analyzed for hydrocarbon metabolites in bile (1989-1991) and for microscopic lesions (1990 and 1991). Biliary hydrocarbons consistent with exposure to Exxon Valdez oil were elevated in 1989, but not in 1990 or 1991. Significant microscopic findings included pigmented macrophage aggregates and hepatic megalocytosis, fibrosis, and lipid accumulation. Site differences in microscopic findings were significant with respect to previous oil exposure in 1991 (P=0.038), but not in 1990. However, differences in microscopic findings were highly significant with respect to age and species in both years (P<0.001). We conclude that demersal rockfish were exposed to Exxon Valdez oil in 1989, but differences in microscopic changes in 1990 and 1991 were related more to age and species differences than to previous oil exposure.     

三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)乳化病的组织病理和超微病理研究

利用组织切片及超薄切片电镜技术对患“乳化病”三疣梭子蟹的鳃、肝胰腺、步足肌肉、心肌和性腺5种组织进行病理学分析。组织病理显示:乳化病的病变性质为变质性炎症,主要病变部位在肝胰腺,其病灶表现为水变性、脂肪变性和细胞坏死等症状,步足肌和心肌表现出肌纤维断裂、浑浊等症状。超微病理显示:在肝胰腺和步足肌组织中有大量细菌,肝胰腺细胞结构损伤主要表现为微绒毛损伤脱落、线粒体坏死、溶酶体增多及脂肪滴变性,肌纤维断裂、溶解,血隙中血淋巴细胞受严重侵染。     

海湾扇贝和栉孔扇贝的组织病理学观察

海湾扇贝和栉孔扇贝的外观症状主要是外套膜收缩、变色及鳃发黑。取外套膜、鳃、消化盲囊、直肠、性腺和闭壳肌等组织，切片，观察发现：在外套膜、鳃、消化盲囊、直肠和性腺的上皮细胞的胞质中有大量的黄褐色圆形小颗粒，病发严重的甚至发生组织糜烂，细胞变形、脱落。     

鱼类感染龙江血居吸虫的组织病理学研究

用组织连续切片法对人工感染有龙江血居吸虫的鲫鱼苗和金鱼进行了组织病理学研究。龙江血居吸虫成虫以寄生于鱼体的心脏为最常见 ,其它依次为前主静脉及其分支 ,后主静脉及肾门静脉 ,肝静脉及肝门静脉系统 ,动脉球及腹大动脉 ,鳃部动脉 ,较少寄生于右颈下静脉 ,尾静脉。成虫对宿主无明显的致病作用。鱼体的鳃丝、肾脏、肝脏、心脏组织是龙江血居吸虫虫卵数量分布较多的部位 ,脾脏、脑及鳍膜基部组织中也有少量虫卵分布。龙江血居吸虫对宿主的致病主要是由虫卵引起的。鳃部的虫卵可引起鳃丝肿胀变形 ,毛蚴逸出时即引起失血、炎症反应乃至死亡 ;累积在肝脏、肾脏、心脏中的虫卵常形成有结缔组织包被的纤维结节     

Hepatic histopathology in two populations of the mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus

The pollution-tolerant mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, inhabits a heavily contaminated estuary, Piles Creek (PC), in Linden, NJ. PC contaminants include PAHs, PCBs and many metals, including high Hg and Pb. PC mummichog livers and kidneys were compared with those from a pristine estuary in Tuckerton (TK), NJ, by standard histopathological methods, with quantification by computerized image analysis. PC livers had>2× the lipid ratios of TK livers. Cell sizes and shapes were not different between populations. TK livers had a 25% incidence of basophilic areas and an age-related 30% incidence of macrophage aggregates; PC livers had none of these lesions. PC livers had a 100% incidence of necrotic foci, compared with 55% of TK livers. Inflammation was noted in 50% of TK livers but only 27% of PC livers. Curiously, the TK livers had a 45% incidence of metacercarial cysts of a digenetic trematode, while none were found in the PC livers. The TK focal necrosis and macrophage aggregates coincided with parasite infestation. There were no observed kidney lesions in either population. Positive biomarkers in this species thus included high hepatic lipid content, possibly necrosis, but no other lesions. The lack of trematode cysts in PC livers may reflect the lack of an intermediate host in this low biodiversity estuary.
