Tóm tắt

Effects of anoxemic cell injury on rat pancreatic acinar cells were studied in a preparation where tissue samples were incubated at temperature between 18–20° C in a moist atmosphere for 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h in vitro. Electron microscopy revealed that disintegration of acinar cells began by swelling of various cell compartments and gradual breakdown of cell membranes. Zymogen granules remained morphologically intact for at least 3 h. There were no signs of increased autophagic activity during the period of observation. Myelin figures and other membranous remnants of disintegrated cells, together with individual cells and cell organelles whose morphology was relatively well preserved were seen even after 24 h incubation. The secretory response of acinar cells to pancreozymin stimulation, as measured by amylase release into the incubation medium in vitro, decreased progressively closer to zero during 12 h autolysis. No active trypsin could be detected in the tissue samples during the 24 h observation time. It was concluded that during hypoxic autolysis at room temperature between 18–20° C in vitro:
