The results showed that most Cd associ-ated with the cellwal s and soluble fractions, and a minor part of Cd presented in mitochondria fractions, nuclear and chloroplast fractions, especial y exposure to high Cd concentrations. Under 20.00 mg/L Cd stress, Cd subcellular distribution fol owed a sequence as： soluble fractions （55.00%）＆gt;cellwal s （30.0%）＆gt;mitochondria fractions （8.21%）＆gt;nuclear and chloroplast fractions （6.79%）. Deposited Cd black particles were observed in cellwal s, chloroplasts, nuclei, and vacuoles through electrical microscope slice. This fact indicated that the cellwal s of soybean leaves were the first protecting organel es from Cd toxicity, and the cellwal s and soluble fractions were the main place for Cd storage. Due to Cd accumulated in the organel es, the intercellular space was enlarged and the subcellular structure was damaged, especial y for the chloroplasts.展开更多

METHODS： A novel rigid confocal probe （diameter 7 mm） was designed with optical features similar to the flexible endomicroscopy system for use in humans using a 488 nm single line laser for fluorophore excitation, Light emission was detected at 505 to 750 nm. The field of view was 475 μm × 475 μm. Optical slice thickness was 7 μm with a lateral resolution of 0.7 μm. Subsurface serial images at different depths （surface to 250 μm） were generated in real time at 1024 × 1024 pixels （0.8 frames/s） by placing the probe onto the tissue in gentle, stable contact. Tissue specimens were sampled for histopathological correlation.RESULTS： The esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine and meso, liver, pancreas and gall bladder were visualised in vivo at high resolution in n = 48 mice. Real time microscopic imaging with the confocal minimicroscopy probe was easy to achieve. The different staining protocols （fluorescein, acriflavine, FITC-labelled dextran and L. esculentum lectin） each highlighted specific aspects of the tissue, and in vivo imaging correlated excellently with conventional histology. In vivo blood flow monitoring added a functional quality to morphologic imaging.CONCLUSION： Confocal microscopy is feasible in vivo allowing the visualisation of the complete GI tract at high resolution even of subsurface tissue structures. The new confocal probe design evaluated in this study is compatible with laparoscopy and significantly expands the field of possible applications to intra-abdominal organs. It allows immediate testing of new in vivo staining and application options and therefore permits rapid transfer from animal studies to clinical use in patients.展开更多
