Enzyme-Histochemistry of Normal External Ocular Muscles

Sarcoidosis with infiltration of the external ocular muscles.

Enzyme histochemistry of skeletal muscle.

This is the first of three papers on the application of enzyme histochemical techniques to the study of developing and diseased muscle. This paper will deal with developing muscle in various laboratory animals, the second with developing human muscle, and the third with hereditary neurogenic atrophies in infancy and childhood. In 1678 Stefano Lorenzini had already observed that animal muscle co...

Regneration in free grafts of normal and denervated muscles in the rat: morphology and histochemistry.

Intact soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles in the rat were freely grafted to the contralateral leg after either no preliminary treatment or 14 days prior denervation. Normal muscle grafts during the first week were characterized by a central zone of degenerating original muscle fibers (disappearing by 7-9 days) and a peripheral zone, containing regenerating muscle as well as small numb...

Histochemistry of primate extraocular muscles and the changes of denervation.

The morphological and physiological classification of the fibres of the extraocular muscles has been the subject of some controversy, not to say confusion. It is well known that in mammals the oblique and rectus muscles consist of a peripheral layer of smaller fibres overlying a deeper zone with larger diameters (Kato, I938; Kern, I965). Many morphological and ultrastructural studies have descr...

Tests and Studies of the Ocular Muscles

and interesting book; and they will not be disappointed. The problems dealt with are admittedly difficult and complex, but the author's clearness and precision render them comparatively simple ; his happy and well-chosen expressions, his ingeniousmethods and luminous suggestions, convert a somewhat dry and tedious subject into a most interesting study. We know of no book where so good a descrip...
