Ischemic carotid endothelium. Scanning electron microscopical studies. 1975

E Nelson, and T Sunaga, and T Shimamoto, and J Kawamura, and M L Rennels, and R Hebel

The normal luminal surface and the effect of ischemia on the endothelium of the common carotid arteries of rhesus monkeys were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Clamps were placed proximally and distally on the right common carotid arteries, totally occluding the vessels for periods ranging from five minutes to four hours. The clamps were then removed and fixation carried out by intravascular perfusion. The contralateral sham-operated carotids, as well as those from unoperated animals were used as control specimens. The most obvious effect of ischemia was the appearance of conical, crater-like defects in the cytoplasm of endothelial cells. Such "craters" were observed following as little as 15 minutes of ischemia, were much less frequent in sham-operated vessels, and were not seen in the unoperated control specimens.

D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
