The development of cytoarchitectonics of the brain rudiments in mammals is accompanied by the formation of an intracerebral vascular network. The relationship between these two processes is insufficiently clear. We studied the development of blood vessels and cytoarchitectonics in the neocortical rudiment of 6- to 13-week old human embryos. The light and electron microscopy methods were used, as well as histochemical visualization of NADPH-diaphorase in the vessel cells. The endothelium proliferation was evaluated using antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Starting from week 8 of development, the tangentially oriented vessels formed a intraneural network in the ventricular zone of the rudiment, which appears to restrict the motility of neuroepithelial cells. The basal membrane was initially absent, and the neuroepithelial cells were in direct contact with the endothelial cells. During week 9 of development, the tangentially oriented vessels appeared in the intermediate zone. Formations similar to glial legs with short regions of the basal membrane adjoined the walls of inter- and intraneural vessels (note that, according to the published data, glial fibrillary acidic protein is not yet visualized at this stage). Angioarchitectonics depended little on the cell population density in different zones of the rudiment; specifically, the cortical plate did not contain tangentially oriented vessels until week 12-13 of development. The data we obtained suggest that the blood vessels fulfill a special morphogenetic function in the developing neocortex.

Using histological, morphometric, histochemical and immunocytochemical methods, the effect of cytotoxic treatment on structural and functional characteristics of the epithelium of esophageal mucosa was studied in mice together with the reversibility of the changes induced by cytotoxic drug. Fourfold intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (400 mg/kg of body mass) resulted in such morpho-functional changes, as thickening of epithelial layer, increase in proportion of its stratum corneum and its loosening, disturbances in cornification process, hyperkeratosis, vacuolization of cell cytoplasm in stratum basale and stratum spinosum, interstitial edema, nuclear hypertrophy and parakeratosis. Mitotic activity and the activity of NADH-diaphorase were significantly reduced, while the number of PCNA' cells was increased. Cyclophosphamide had no significant affect on the concentration of total proteins. 15 days after the discontinuation of cytostatic treatment, most of the indexes did not return to normal values, indicating profound disturbances in the esophageal epithelium.

Localization of GABA, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), NADPH-diaphorase, transcription factor Pax6, and the proliferative cell antigen (PCNA) in the periventricular area of the brain of the masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou of varying age groups was studied. The presence of heterogeneous cell populations with radially orientated outgrowths in the diencephalon, central gray matter of the dorsomedial tegmentum, medulla oblongata, and spinal cord of the masu salmon was shown. TH-, GABA-immunopositive, and NADPH-d-positive cells are located in the areas of PCNA-immunogenic proliferative zones. It is possible that these cells are descendants of the radial neuroglia and that they participate in the growth and physiological regeneration of diencephalic and medullar structures. In various age groups of the masu salmon, the marking of TH-, GABA, PCNA, and Pax6 reveals the neuromeric structure of the brain.

We investigated the distribution of gamma aminobutyric acid, tyrosine hydroxylase and nitric oxide-producing elements in a cherry salmon Oncorhynchus masou brain at various stages of postnatal ontogenesis by immunohistochemical staining and histochemical staining. The periventricular region cells exhibited the morphology of neurons and glia including radial glia-like cells and contained several neurochemical substances. Heterogeneous populations of tyrosine hydroxylase-, gamma aminobutyric acid-immunoreactive, as well as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase-positive cells were observed in proliferating cell nuclear antigen-immunoreactive proliferative zones in periventricular area of diencephalon, central grey layer of dorsomedial tegmentum, medulla and spinal cord. Immunolocalization of Pax6 in the cherry salmon brain revealed a neuromeric construction of the brain at various stages of postnatal ontogenesis, and this was confirmed by tyrosine hydroxylase and gamma aminobutyric acid labeling.
