Granulation tissue: a new model for studies of vascular complications of diabetes.

New vessels and type I collagen formed in the diabetic milieu differ markedly from vessels and collagen formed in nondiabetic animals. The vessels in diabetic animals are permeated by albumin much more readily than normal and the collagen is much more extensively crosslinked than normal. This is the first animal model in which increased vascular permeability analogous to that observed in human diabetics can be readily produced and quantified. Two important implications of these observations are: 1) vascular and connective tissue constituents formed in the diabetic milieu are functionally and structurally compromised and 2) injury of any kind which leads to proliferative responses and increased turnover of molecular constituents of vessels may increase the rate of development and progression of "diabetic" vascular disease.

[Origin of fibroblasts and macrophages of skin wound granulation tissue].

By the method of thymidine autoradiography and fluorescing antibodies, the origin of cells participating in healing the experimentally produced wounds was investigated. 3H-thymidine was administered a day before the production of the wounds. 14C-thymidine was injected impulsively 1 h before the material was fixed 1,3 and 8 days after the trauma. The analysis of the autographs demonstrated that during wound healing the cell-precursors of macrophages and fibroblasts migrate from beyond the limits of the connective tissue. By means of the fluorescing antibodies in mouse radiation xenogenic chimaeras it was demonstrated that macrophages and fibroblasts participating in wound healing take their origin from the donor's elements, that is, are of bone marrow origin.

Effect of intrauterine thymectomy on granulation tissue formation. An experimental study.

Intrauterine thymectomy was successfully performed on 9 guinea pig foetuses at the gestational age of 36-48 days. This resulted in a significant suppression of the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) response of the whole blood lymphocytes at the age of 3 mth. The in utero-thymectomized guinea pigs and their littermate non-thymectomized controls were operated on by making 4 symmetrical dorsal skin incisions and by subcutaneously implanting 8 standardized pieces of viscose cellulose sponge. On the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th days the tensile strength of the wounds was determined and the implants were analysed histologically and enzymehistochemically. At the time of incipient fibroplasia on the 5th post-operative day, the tensile strength of the wounds, the number of fibroblasts and the activities of aminopeptidase and succinate dehydrogenase were clearly less in the guinea pigs which had been thymectomized in utero. These findings indicate that adequate thymic function was necessary for normal fibroblast proliferation, since intrauterine thymectomy led to a temporary delay in the beginning of the fibroblastic phase in wound healing.
