Histochemistry of glandular metaplasia at the trigone of the urinary bladder in cows.
    Journal of comparative pathology, 1992, Volume: 107, Issue:2

    The epithelium at the trigone of the urinary bladder showed intestinal metaplasia of a colonic type in three Holstein-Friesian cows affected with chronic polypoid cystitis. Except for Ricinus communis (RCA-I), almost all goblet cells in the whole crypt were positive to periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5, AB pH 1.0, periodate borohydride-potassium hydroxide-PAS (PB-KOH-PAS), Ulex europaeus (UEA-I), Triticum vulgare (WGA) and Arachis hypogaea (PNA) after neuraminidase digestion. This result indicated that most goblet cells contained acidic and neutral glycoconjugates as O-acetylated sialomucin, L-fucose, N-acetyl-glucosamine, neuraminic acid residues and sialic acid-galactose dimers and were devoid of beta-D-galactose. The goblet cells at the surface in the upper half of the crypt contained both sulpho- and sialo-mucins with N-acetyl-galactosamine residues by AB (pH 2.5)-PAS, high iron diamine (HID)-AB (pH 2.5), Dolichos biflorus (DBA) and Glycine maximus (SBA) reactions. On the other hand, the lower goblet cells were found to contain predominantly sulphated mucins with D-mannose and D-glucose residues by AB-PAS, HID-AB and Concanavalia ensiformis (Con A) reactivities. This suggested that mucin secreted from these cells was similar to that secreted from the goblet cells of the large intestine in cattle.

Connective tissue stroma in bladder papillary transitional cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ and benign cystitis.
    Histopathology, 1986, Volume: 10, Issue:6

    The stromal characteristics in papillary and non-papillary tumours of the urinary bladder were investigated in an attempt to improve the accuracy of histopathological diagnosis. It appeared to be possible to differentiate true papillary tumours from pseudopapillary structures lined by carcinoma in situ. Stromal differences were not found in cases of carcinoma in situ accompanied by denuding cystitis and cystitis due to other aetiological factors. It is concluded that histopathological examination of the stroma of bladder tumours improves diagnostic accuracy.
