In order to describe the ultrastructural features of the early phases of regenerating mesothelium in rat peritoneum, 69 cases were examined after intraperitoneal injection of 0.05-15 mg crocidolite, chrysotile B and other mineral and synthetic fibers. The findings show the presence of intermediate or transition cells between proliferating submesothelial connective tissue cells bearing the ultrastructural phenotype of myofibroblasts and mature fully regenerated mesothelium. Our results and data accumulated in the literature provide strong support for the hypothesis of submesothelial cells origin for regenerating mesothelium.

D007274 Injections, Intraperitoneal Forceful administration into the peritoneal cavity of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the abdominal wall. Intraperitoneal Injections,Injection, Intraperitoneal,Intraperitoneal Injection
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D001194 Asbestos Asbestos. Fibrous incombustible mineral composed of magnesium and calcium silicates with or without other elements. It is relatively inert chemically and used in thermal insulation and fireproofing. Inhalation of dust causes asbestosis and later lung and gastrointestinal neoplasms.
D017632 Asbestos, Serpentine A type of asbestos that occurs in nature as the dihydrate of magnesium silicate. It exists in two forms: antigorite, a plated variety, and chrysotile, a fibrous variety. The latter makes up 95% of all asbestos products. (From Merck Index, 11th ed, p.893) Chrysotile,Serpentine (Mineral),Serpentine Asbestos,Antigorite,Asbestos, Serpentine, Chrysotile (Mg3(OH)4(Si2O5))
