The paper presents a review of the results obtained by the authors on the study of external (gamma) and internal (I-131) radiation effects on the functional morphology and linkage of the diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES) and amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) cells of the stomach and duodenum. The investigations performed enabled us to determine that the morphological changes noted in APUD cells had a dose and time dependency. The present study supports the point of view that the radiation initiates serotonin release from APUD cells, which appears to initiate the mechanism of early postirradiation dysfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract and the subsequent adaptive response of DNES. Analysis of our results, together with a review of the literature, indicates that APUD cells actively participate both in pathogenesis of radiation injury and development of organ and tissue radiosensitivity.

Quantitative Morphological Study of Larynx APUD-Cells in Asphyxial Type of Drowning in Fresh Water (Experimental Study).
Bull Exp Biol Med
June 2024
South Ural State Medical University, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- A new microscopic diagnostic sign for asphyxial drowning has been discovered in white male rats, indicating changes in the laryngeal mucosa.
- The research showed significant hyperplasia (increase in the number of cells) of serotonin-containing APUD-cells in the larynx when rats experienced acute anoxia, compared to healthy controls.
- These changes may trigger laryngospasm, which helps prevent water from entering the airways during drowning, suggesting this hyperplasia can be a useful diagnostic criterion in research on drowning.
Equine Stomach Development in the Foetal Period of Prenatal Life-An Immunohistochemical Study.
Animals (Basel)
December 2022
Department of Animal Physiology and Biostructure, Division of Animal Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Kożuchowska 1, 51-631 Wrocław, Poland.
The study consisted of the immunohistochemical analysis of fundic and pyloric mucosa in the equine stomach between the 4th and 11th month of gestation. The accessible material was classified into three age groups using the CRL method. The adult reference group was used to define potential differences between foetal and adult populations of gastric APUD cells.

The prevalence of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) is increasing, and despite recent advances in their therapy, it remains inadequate in patients with advanced well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors present many challenges concerning the molecular basis and genomic profile, pathophysiology, clinicopathological features, histopathologic classification, diagnosis and treatment. There has been an ongoing debate on diagnostic criteria and clinical behavior, and various changes have been made over the last few years.

The histamine content in bioamine-containing cells and the content of NSE cells of the lymph nodes were studied in rats in 40 min and in 2 and 4 h after bone marrow allotransplantation by using the cross luminescence-histochemical method and immunohistochemical method, respectively. Within 2 h after allotransplantation of the bone marrow, a significant increase in histamine content in bioamine-containing cells and an increase in the number of NSE cells in the period were observed. Both APUD and NSE+ cells were found to be heterogeneous by staining and luminescence.

Article Synopsis
- Neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are being studied to understand neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia (SCZ), focusing on how these cellular models relate to the patients' clinical features.
- Researchers analyzed neurons from 13 individuals with high genetic risk for SCZ and 15 neurotypical individuals, finding significant differences in their electrophysiological properties.
- This research suggests that specific neuronal functions can be linked to clinical symptoms, providing insights that could inform the development of new treatments for SCZ.
