    Notes: Summary Ehrlich cancer cells and inflammatory cells in mouse ascitic fluid were hydrolyzed and stained with acridine orange (AO). The AO hydrolysis curves for G1/G2+M phase cancer cells and inflammatory cells were differentially determined using flow cytometry by monitoring the metachromatic red-shifted fluorescence of the fluorochrome bound to the single-stranded DNA produced by acid hydrolysis. By computer fitting of the Bateman function to the hydrolysis curves, the kinetic parameters k 1 (rate constant for the degradation of the produced single-stranded DNA), and y 0 (theoretical value of the single-stranded DNA present initially) were determined. It was found that the k 2 value, which reflects the degree of DNA instability, was much higher for cancer cells in both the G1 and G2+M phases than for inflammatory cells. This finding led us to develop a method for the differential AO staining of cancer cells and non-cancerous cells utilizing the different degree of DNA instability at acid hydrolysis. AO staining after hydrolysis with 2N HCl at 30°C for 8.5 min was found to be the optimal method. In the 60 cases of human malignant epithelial and nonepithelial tumors tested, all of the malignant tumor cells emitted metachromatic red fluorescence, while all of the nonmalignant tumor cells (5 cases of benign tumor) and normal cells emitted orthochromatic green fluorescence when observed with a violet excitation light under a fluorescence microscope. This new technique can be a useful tool for the screening of malignancy in exfoliative cytology and also for basic cancer research.

    Notes: Summary Touch smears of the cerebellum and cerebrum of ageing rats were fixed with methanol, hydrolyzed with 2N HCl at various temperatures and for various periods, and stained with pararosaniline-Schiff reagent. The hydrolysis curves were determined by fluorescence cytophotometry and were computer fitted to the Bateman function to determine the kinetic parameters, the initial yield of apurinic acid or single-stranded DNA (y 0), and the rate constants for depurination or denaturation (k 1) and depolymerization (k 2). The values for k 1 (1/k 1 is correlated with the degree of chromatin condensation) and k 2 (which reflects the degree of DNA instability) steadily increased with age. The values for y 0, which may indicate the degree of DNA denaturation or damage present before acid hydrolysis, also increased with age in both the cerebellum and cerebrum; however, this value was lower in the cerebellum untill 15 weeks, with the situation being reversed after 35 weeks, the cross-over time being at about 25 weeks. The values of lnk 1 and lnk 2 were plotted as the function of the reciprocal of the absolute temperature (T) (Arrhenius plot) for both the cerebellum and cerebrum of 15- and 74-week-old rats, and the activation energies (E) for depurination and depolymerization were calculated from the slopes. In particular, the values of E for k 2 decreased much more quickly with age and were smaller in cerebellum. In conclusion, the degree of DNA damage and DNA instability steadily increases in both the cerebellum and cerebrum of ageing rats, and this process is much faster in the cerebellum.

    Immunohistochemical detection of bromodeoxyuridine in formalin-fixed tissues (1986)

    Notes: Summary Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) immunohisto-chemistry has recently been introduced for the visualization of DNA-synthesizing nuclei. In order to detect the BrdUrd incorporated into nuclear DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues, we tested several different pretreatment procedures including digestion with proteinase and hydrolysis with HCl, prior to immunoperoxidase staining. In order to determine the optimal conditions for detecting nuclear BrdUrd, mice were given BrdUrd and 3H-thymidine simultaneously, and the autoradiographic and immunohistochemical results obtained in BrdUrd-stained sections were compared. It was found that digestion with 0:05% proteinase at 37°C for 20 min and hydrolysis with 1 N HCl at 37°C for 20 min was sufficient to detect BrdUrd immunore-activity in 3H-thymidine-labelled nuclei, the results being virtually unaffected by the orders in which the two pretreatments were performed. Our method extends the range of application for BrdUrd, immunohistochemistry in cell-kinetic studies.

    Notes: Abstract Binding isotherms of two types of ionic surfactants, CmH2m +1SO4Na (m = 8,10,12) and CnH2n + 1N+(CH3)3C1 (n=10, 12), to human hair in aqueous solutions were examined to clarify effects of hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction of ionic surfactants with hair. The binding isotherms of anionic surfactants showed cooperativity with discontinuously increasing shapes, while the binding isotherms of cationic surfactants showed a Langmuir-type, regardless of the difference of a hair condition. The calculated free energy change (— ΔG@#@) for binding, obtained from Klotz' plots, suggests that the binding processes are governed mainly by a hydrophobic interaction, and bound surfactants probably expose their alkyl chains to the aqueous phase, since no-ΔG was observed with the increase of m or n and values of enthalpy change(ΔH) were positive or zero.
