    Notes: Abstract Previous studies of ethanol reinforcement in BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J mice have shown that over a range of concentrations oral ethanol appeared to serve as a reinforcer only for the C57BL/6J mice. In the previous studies BALB/cJ mice maintained rates of responding for ethanol that only slightly exceeded the rates maintained by the vehicle, water. However, the quantity of ethanol consumed with the continuous reinforcement schedule (fixed ratio one) may have led to pharmacologically significant effects, given the high sensitivity to ethanol of this genotype. The present study tested whether and to what extent ethanol would maintain responding under increasing fixed ratio size in these two strains of mice at ethanol concentrations of 0%, 8%, and 16% (w/v). For the C57BL/6J mice, as fixed-ratio size increased from 1 to 2, 4, and 8, there were almost directly proportional increases in response rate at ethanol concentrations of 8% and 16% (w/v), but not at 0%. Post-session blood ethanol levels confirmed intake of pharmacologically significant quantities. The volume consumed per unit of body weight decreased as fixed-ratio size increased. For the BALB/cJ mice, at no condition did ethanol maintain responding at levels that significantly exceeded vehicle maintained responding. BALB/cJ mice did not differ from C57BL/6J mice as fixed-ratio size was increased during vehicle conditions. These results, along with earlier findings, demonstrate that ethanol can serve as a reinforcer for C57BL/6J mice but not in BALB/cJ mice over a range of schedule conditions. They further support the conclusion that genotype is an important determinant of ethanol reinforced behavior.

    Notes: Abstract By the use of operant conditioning procedures, we determined whether mice from two strains, C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ, differ in ethanol-reinforced behavior. To establish ethanol as a reinforcer, drinking was induced by feeding mice prior to the 30-min experimental session. Initially mice received water and then a series of increasing ethanol concentrations (1, 2, 4, and 8%, w/v) in response to a lever press. The volume of liquid consumed per unit of body weight remained relatively constant across concentrations, and thus the amount of ethanol consumed (g/kg) increased with increases in ethanol concentration. At all concentrations the C57BL/6J mice drank larger volumes than the BALB/cJ mice. After shifting the time of feeding from before to after the session, the consumption of 8% ethanol declined 56% for the C57B/6J mice and 81% for the BALB/cJ mice. To determine if ethanol was serving as a reinforcer, behavior and intake were then compared during ethanol and water availability. The ethanol consumption of the C57BL/6J mice markedly exceeded the water consumption and resulted in blood ethanol levels of 199 ±27 mg/dl. These levels significantly exceeded the 8% ethanol intake of the BALB/cJ mice, while 0% intake was low and not significantly different between strains. The 8% ethanol drinking of the BALB/cJ mice did not differ from their water drinking. Thus, ethanol was established as a positive reinforcer for C57BL/6J mice but not for BALB/cJ mice.

    Regenerative response of amputated forelimbs of Xenopus laevis froglets to partial denervation (1987)

    Notes: Xenopus laevis froglet forelimbs normally respond to amputational injury by forming a heteromorphic cartilaginous rod-shaped outgrowth. However, partial denervation of a forelimb by ablation of the N. radialis or the N. ulnaris, followed in 2 days by amputation through the mid radius-ulna, results in a size deficiency of the regenerative outgrowth 14 and 21 days postamputation. The decreasing quantity of forelimb innervation, as a result of partial denervation by 55 or 45%, apparently has a graded effect on the cell population and on the extent of cartilage development in the outgrowth. As a consequence of amputational injury, a nerve independent response of the periosteum was also found. This response produced considerable thickening in the periosteum and was due to cell proliferation in both the control and denervated cases.

    Notes: Analogues of the human erythroid membrane skeletal component protein 4.1 have been identified in perfused rat tissues and human T and B lymphocyte cell lines, olyclonal antibodies were used which are specific for all domains of protein 4.1, the spectrin-actin-promoting 8-Kd peptide, the membrane-binding 30-Kd domain, and the 50-Kd domain. Antibody reactivity, by Western blotting of tissue homogenates, shows reactivity with proteins varying in molecular weight from 175 Kd to 30 Kd. Further, these protein 4.1 analogues appear to be expressed in a tissue-specific fashion. Of the analogues detected there appear to be at least three classes: analogues containing all erythroid protein 4.1 domains, analogues containing all domains but with modified antigenic epitopes, and analogues containing only some domains. Chemical cleavage at cysteine linkages indicates that in analogues containing the 30-Kd region the location of cysteine is highly conserved. This datum suggests that in nonerythroid 4.1 isoforms of higher molecular weight the additional protein mass is added to the amino terminal end (30 Kd end).

    Nerve pathways between the pterygopalatine ganglion and eye in cats (1988)

    Notes: By dissection of thiocholine-stained orbital preparations, it has been determined that three different nerve pathways link the pterygopalatine ganglion and the eye in cats. (1) Nerves from the proximal half of the ganglion join a plexus of nerves and ganglion cells in the rete mirabile of the maxillary artery. Branches of the internal carotid nerve also supply this plexus. Fine nerves from the plexus travel to the optic nerve and then to the eye, accompanying both the nasociliary nerve that passes through the rete and the ciliary arteries that arise from the rete. (2) One or more nerves from the nerve of the pterygoid canal and from a prominent accessory ganglion near the orbital apex course to the inferior optic nerve surface at the optic foramen; these then run distally along the optic nerve to fuse with ciliary nerves or to accompany ciliary arteries entering the eye. (3) Other nerves from the pterygopalatine ganglion travel medially around the extraocular muscle cone to join the ethmoidal and infratrochlear branches of the nasociliary nerve; some nerves from the ganglion then take a retrograde course to the optic nerve, where they join ciliary nerves or arteries to the eye. All three pathways may transmit sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic sensory nerve fibers.

    Notes: The present study documents the morphological changes in the aging human olfactory bulb. Eight bulb pairs from white females between the ages of 25 and 102 years were used. The number of mitral cells in layers IV and III was determined for each bulb and corrected for spilt cell error. Counts were made on 10-μm thick Nissl-stained sections at 250-μm intervals. The mean number of mitral cells per olfactory bulb at age 25 was estimated from linear regression to be 50,935; at age 60, 32,718; and at age 95, 14,501. The average loss over the time interval studied was 520 mitral cells per year.The volume of each bulb layer, except layer IV, was determined. The difference in the volume of each layer within individuals with age and the total volume with age was not significant (P 〈 0.11). The estimated mean bulb volume was found to be 50.02, 43.35, and 36.68 mm3 at ages 25, 60, and 95 years, respectively. The estimated reduction in bulb volume per year increase of age was 0.19 mm3. The ratio of mitral cells to bulb volume for layer III decreased by 19.4 units for every year increase in age. No significant difference was found between the left and the right bulbs in regard to the number of mitral cells and the bulb volume.Histologically, the glomerular layer thickness as well as the mitral cell size and concentration per unit area decreased with age. The intrabulbar anterior olfactory nucleus was discontinuous, highly variable in size, and presumably variable even in neuronal numbers.

    Notes: X-ray diffraction, positron annihilation, electron microscopy and bulk density measurements are reported as a function of the degree of acetylation for a linters cotton. Heterogeneous reaction proceeds with a retention of ordered structure in the fibers. Substitution does increase the extent of disorder but is not sufficiently extensive to disrupt completely order at the fiber, fibril, micro fibril, and crystallite levels. The generation of disorder is associated with an increase in the interfibrillar distance, a breakup of the microfibrillar structure without a total disruption of the microcrystalline structure.

    Notes: Rapid fibroblast ingrowth and collagen deposition occurs in a reconstituted type I collagen matrix that is implanted on fullthickness excised animal dermal wounds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of direct current stimulation on dermal fibroblast ingrowth using carbon fiber electrodes incorporated into a collagen sponge matrix. Preliminary results suggest that fibroblast ingrowth and collagen fiber alignment are increased in collagen sponges stimulated with direct currents between 20 and 100 μA. Maximum fibroblast ingrowth into the collagen sponge is observed near the cathode at a current of 100 μA. These results suggest that electrical stimulation combined with a collagen matrix may be a method to enhance the healing of chronic dermal wounds.

    Diminished calcium influx in lectin-stimulated T cells from old mice (1987)

    Notes: T lymphocytes from aged donors function poorly, but the biochemical basis for the defect remains uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that T cells from old mice had a diminished ability to transmit extracellular signals into the cytoplasm, by measuring intracellular free calcium concentrations (Cai) in T cells stimulated by the polyclonal activator concanavalin A (Con A). Using the second-generation fluorochrome indo-1 as a reporter of Cai, we found that the Con A-induced elevation of Cai levels is reduced both in rate and extent in old T cells, as compared to T cells from young mice. Flow cytometric analysis showed that this age-sensitive change represents a decline, with age, in the number of T cells that can respond to Con A by increasing their Cai above resting baseline levels (100-120 nM). These results thus show that defects in activation are manifested by T cells from old donors within the first 5 minutes of the activation process, and suggest that aging may lead to alterations either in the surface molecules that receive extracellular signals, or in the sequence of coupled events by which these extracellular signals bring about alterations in the intracellular ionic milieu.
