Light and electron microscopic examination of cartilage canals in 39 infants (from fetuses to 2 years of age) revealed the presence of multivacuolated cells in the connective tissue of the canals. These cells showed an irregular and electron-dense nucleus and cytoplasm; the latter was almost filled by large, irregular, membrane-bound vacuoles without or with hardly apparent content. Histochemistry revealed a weakly positive stain with periodic-acid-Schiff, oil-red-o and muramidase techniques in these cells which seem to be degenerated macrophages.
对39名婴儿（从胎儿到2岁）的软骨管进行光镜和电镜检查发现，软骨管的结缔组织中存在多泡状细胞。这些细胞显示出不规则且电子密度高的细胞核和细胞质；后者几乎被大的、不规则的、有膜包被的空泡填满，空泡内无内容物或几乎没有明显内容物。组织化学显示，这些细胞经高碘酸希夫染色、油红O染色和溶菌酶染色呈弱阳性，这些细胞似乎是退化的巨噬细胞。
