    Notes: During starvation, counterregulatory responses to loss of food (i.e. responses that lead to an increase in appetite) occur in the central nervous system (CNS). This study was designed to examine whether middle-aged rats show greater or smaller behavioural, peripheral and central hormonal responses during starvation compared to young rats. In experiment 1, refeeding following 4 days of starvation was measured in both middle-aged (72-week-old) and young (9-week-old) rats. The level of refeeding was similar to each prestarved level until 3 days after the end of starvation in both groups. From the 4th day, the level of refeeding in young rats increased and reached beyond the prestarved level, whereas refeeding in middle-aged rats remained similar to the prestarved level. Thus, overall refeeding throughout 7 days was greater in young rats than in middle-aged rats. In experiment 2, middle-aged and young rats were starved for 4 days and were killed in the morning. Middle-aged rats showed a smaller plasma corticosterone response than that of young rats. The magnitude of decreases in plasma glucose, insulin and leptin was similar in both groups. In the arcuate nucleus, the starvation-induced increase in neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA and the decrease in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA were smaller in middle-aged rats than in young rats. In contrast, the starvation-induced decrease in corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus was greater in middle-aged rats than young rats. The magnitude of decrease in type-2 CRH receptor mRNA in the ventromedial hypothalamus was similar in both groups. The results indicate that (a) ageing impaired refeeding response (b), middle-aged rats showed the same directional neuropeptide mRNA responses as seen in young rats during starvation and (c) the magnitude of these counterregulatory responses in the CNS in middle-aged versus young rats was not uniform, but rather was site-specific or neuropeptide-specific. This study suggests the importance of NPY and POMC responsiveness in the arcuate nucleus in the age-related differences resulting from starvation-induced refeeding.

    Notes: Although the SAA1 and SAA2 protein isoforms (A-SAA) of the serum amyloid A (SAA) family of acute phase reactants have been found in a number of extrahepatic tissues; the site of synthesis of extrahepatic SAA remains to be clarified. To investigate site(s) of synthesis of the SAA protein localized to atherosclerotic plaque, expression of the SAA1 and SAA2 genes by cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) was investigated. A-SAA protein isoforms were detectable by immunoblot analysis in the culture medium of HASMC. Both A-SAA and C-SAA (SAA4) mRNA isoforms were constitutively expressed by HASMC, but not, however, by the human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Expression of A-SAA mRNA by HASMC was upregulated by corticoid hormones including dexamethasone (Dex), corticosterone, hydrocortisone, and aldosterone, but not by the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α alone. Dex stimulation of A-SAA mRNA was time and dose dependent from 6 to 48 h. The threshold concentration for upregulation of A-SAA mRNA in HASMC by Dex was between 0.1 and 1 nm. IL-1, known to upregulate extrahepatic A-SAA gene expression in other cell systems only slightly, if at all, upregulated Dex-induced A-SAA expression by HASMC. Thus, it is possible that some of the A-SAA protein in the vascular wall (atherosclerotic plaques) can originate from smooth muscle cells. In consideration of recent reports that A-SAA modulates the inflammatory process and lipid synthesis, A-SAA can potentially serve as a physiological regulator of smooth muscle cell homeostasis within that, in a disease state, participates in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

    Notes: Use of a monoclonal antibody against Lafora bodies for the immunocytochemical study of ground-glass inclusions in hepatocytes due to cyanamide Aims: Ground-glass inclusions (GGIs) in hepatocytes are known to be associated with cyanamide treatment in patients with alcohol dependency. The purpose of this study was to assess the reactivity of a monoclonal antibody (MAb) raised against polyglucosan and to detect early events in GGI formation. Methods and results: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissues from four patients treated with cyanamide were used. Sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid–Schiff with and without diastase digestion, and were immunohistochemically stained with the MAb. For electron microscopic study, routinely processed liver tissue from one patient was examined with conventional and immunoelectron microscopy with use of the MAb. All specimens from the four cyanamide-treated patients contained GGIs in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, and these GGIs reacted intensely with the MAb. Fully developed GGIs contained various organelles, whereas early ones consisted primarily of glycogen granules and dilated smooth endoplasmic reticulum. In immunoelectron microscopic preparations, gold particles were located within GGIs, and the immunolabelled organelles appeared to be glycogen granules. Conclusions: This novel MAb is useful for the detection of GGIs caused by cyanamide. Our results support the idea that GGI formation may result from specific abnormalities in glucose metabolism.

    Notes: : Based on the high level of extractability of myosin subunits (light chains), even after prolonged heat treatment of muscle, a new method to evaluate the dark muscle content in the fish meat and products of mackerel is proposed. Tissue-specific rabbit antisera with myosin light chains (A1 from ordinary muscle and D1 from dark muscle) from mackerel Scomber japonicus were obtained. Mackerel meat paste (surimi) was dissolved in 8 M urea containing 1% SDS, and diffused on agar plates containing antiserum against A1 or D1 by single radial immunodiffusion (SRID). The results obtained showed that the area of halos formed in the plates was quite proportional to the content of dark muscle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Nagelzellen, die von den ventralen, apikalen und dorsalen Anteilen der proximalen Matrix gebildet wurden, rückten in axial-distaler Richtung vorwärts, bis sie amproximalen Verhornungspunkte zusammentrafen. Von diesem Punkte an wurden der proximalen Nagelplatte ununterbrochen Zellen von der ventralen und dorsalen Matrix und vom Nagelbett zugefügt. Bald hörte die dorsale Matrix auf, Nagelzellen zu entwickeln und wurde weiter distal in den hinteren Nagelfalz umgewandelt. Mit der differentialen Phasenkontrast-Apparatur von Zeiss-Nomarski konnte man die Teilung der proximalen Nagelplatte in eine ventrale und dorsale Hälfte erkennen. Nächst der Lunula entwickelte das Nagelbett noch eine weitere deutliche Schicht unter der proximalen ventralen Schicht. Elektronmikroskopisch zeigten alle Nagelzellen, ohne Rücksicht auf ihren Ursprung, Verhornung durch Anhäufung von Fibrillen ohne Bildung von Keratohyalinkörnern. Membrane-coating granules (MCG) entstanden in reichlicher Menge. Sie wurden abgestoßen und bildeten die intercellulßre Kittsubstanz. Das abgestoßene Material erweiterte einige der engen Membranspalten, während es gewöhnliche, klaffende (nicht-spezifische) Zellgrenzen verengte und dadurch 150–180 Å weite intercelluläre Zwischenräume bildete, nämlich dieengen Zellverkittungen. Die engen Zellverkittungen stellten den häufigsten Typ der intercellulären Anlagerung dar, wodurch die verhornten Nagelzellen zusammengehalten wurden. Die dicke Zellhülle der verhornten Zellen, nämlich dasGrenzband, wurde durch Niederschlag von dichtem Material an der protoplasmatischen Seite der Zellmembran gebildet und nicht durch die membrane-coating granules.
    Notes: Summary The nail cells produced in the ventral, apical and dorsal portions of the proximal matrix moved in axiodistal direction to meat together at theproximal point of keratinization. The proximal nail plate from this point on was added continuously by the cells from ventral matrix and nail bed. Dorsal matrix soon ceased to produce nail cells and further distally transformed into the posterior nail fold. With Zeiss-Nomarski differential interference contrast equipment, the proximal nail plate could be divided into the ventral and dorsal halves. Near the lunula the nail bed produced one more distinct layer beneath the proximal ventral layer. Electron miscroscopically all nail cells regardless of their origins were seen keratinizing by accretion of tonofibrils without formation of keratohyaline granules. Membrane-coating granules (MGG's) were produced in abundance. They were discharged and provided the intercellular cement. The discharged material widened some of the gap junctions while it tightened nonspeccific junctions to produce 150–180 Å intercellular spaces, i.e. thenarrow junctions. The narrow junctions were the most common type of intercellular junction connecting the keratinized nail cells. The thick cellular envelope of the keratinized cells, i.e. themarginal band, was formed by a precipitation of dense material on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membranes and not by discharged MCG's.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Kleine protoplasmatische Körnchen, welche in verschiedenen verhornenden Epithelien gefunden worden sind und als der Zellmembran aufliegende Körnchen oder Keratinosome bezeichnet wurden, konnten durch Phospholipase C gespalten werden. Körnchen, die in die intercellulären Zwischenräume abgestoßen waren, waren gleichfalls durch Phospholipase C spaltbar. Da angenommen wird, daß Phosphatide einen Teil der intercellularen Kittsubstanz bilden, nicht nur in der Haut, sondern auch in anderen eng zusammengefügten Epithelien, wird die Bezeichnung „Kittkörnchen“ oder „Kittkörper“ für diese Körnchen vorgeschlagen.
    Notes: Summary Small cytoplasmic granules, which have been found in various keratinizing epithelia and called the membrane-coating granules or keratinosomes, were found to be amenable to phospholipase C digestion. Granules discharged into the intercellular spaces could also be digested with phospholipase C. Since it is believed that phospholipids are part of the intercellular cement not only in the skin but in other tightly junctioned epithelia, the name “cement granule” or “cementsome” was proposed for these granules.

    Notes: Summary Neurological and electrophysiological examination of 15 workers handling acrylamide in a factory revealed abnormal signs of peripheral nerve functions in all cases. Neurological abnormalities were: absent deep reflexes, decreased superficial sense and suppressed vibration sense. Action potentials in median nerve and tibial nerve were greatly reduced while conduction velocity was not greatly affected. Long-experienced workers had various complaints with ataxic gait and showed abnormal EEG.
