    Notes: Summary Sixteen cases of typical highly malignant osteosarcoma were investigated by light, electron, and immunofluorescence microscopy to demonstrate the presence of collagen types I–III. It was shown that, in light-microscopically anaplastic areas of the tumor, collagen type III predominates, while only very few membranes of collagen type I are observed. Ultrastructurally, the cells are characterized by numerous free ribosomes in their cytoplasm and only a few membranes of granular endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In osteoblastic areas, collagen type I is increased, while type-III collagen is decreased. The cytoplasm of cells contains markedly more granular ER. An increasing mineralization of matrix is observed. In fibroblastic areas of the tumors, collagen types I and III are codistributed. Tumor cells have a fibroblast appearance with elongated nuclei and well developed granular ER. The chondroblastic areas, characterized by immature neoplastic cartilage, contain varying amounts of collagen type II. Chondroblast-like tumor cells have typical ring-shaped membranes of granular ER in their cytoplasm. The evidence of different collagen types in osteosarcomas lends additional support to the concept that a pluripotent mesenchymal cell is the stem cell of osteosarcomas.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im ersten Teil dieser Übersicht werden die Chemie, das Vorkommen im Gewebe und der Stoffwechsel bindegewebstypischer extrazellulärer Komponenten in der Leber beschrieben. Die normale Leber enthält Proteine des Bindegewebes (Kollagene, Struktur-Glykoproteine, Proteoglykane) nicht nur in den Gefäßwänden, den perivasculären Bereichen und in der Kapsel, sondern sie sind auch im Parenchym in geringer Menge, vor allem im Disse'schen Raum entlang den Sinusoiden nachweisbar. Die „interstitiellen“ Kollagentypen I und III bilden die Hauptmenge des Kollagens sowohl in der normalen als auch in der fibrotischen Leber; dabei ist der relative Anteil an Typ III in der fibrotischen gegenüber der normalen Leber erhöht. Die „Basalmembrankollagene“ Type IV und V sowie die cysteinreichen kollagenen Komponenten 7 S und das Kurzkettenkollagen (Intimenkollagen) konnten aus nach limitiertem Pepsinabbau gewonnenen Extrakten isoliert werden. In der normalen Leber sind die Basalmembrankollagene im Parenchym immunhistologisch kaum nachzuweisen; ein verstärktes Auftreten entlang der Sinusoide ist jedoch schon in frühen Stadien chronischer Lebererkrankungen sichtbar. Das extrazelluläre Glykoprotein Fibronectin tritt in der Leber in einer dem Typ I und III Kollagen sehr ähnlichen Verteilung auf, während das basalmembranspezifische Glykoprotein Laminin in der nicht-fibrotischen Leber auf Gefäßwände und Gallengangepithelien beschränkt ist und erst bei Fibrose auch in parenchymalen Bereichen nachgewiesen werden kann. Proteoglykane treten in der fibrotischen Leber ebenfalls vermehrt auf, eine Veränderung der Zusammensetzung der Glykosaminoglykane von überwiegend Heparansulfat in der normalen zu Dermatan-und Chondroitinsulfat in der fibrotischen Leber wurde beobachtet. Unklarheit besteht noch über den Zelltyp, der hauptsächlich zur vermehrten Bindegewebsbildung in der Leber beiträgt. Vermehrtes Auftreten von Zellen, die glatten Muskelzellen ähneln (Myofibroblasten) in den Septen fibrotischer Lebern und der Befund, daß aus Explantaten fibrotischer Lebern hauptsächlich ähnliche Zellen auswachsen, die eine aktive Kollagensynthese zeigen, können auf die Bedeutung dieses Zelltyps für die Fibrose hindeuten.
    Notes: Summary The first part of this review describes the chemistry, the occurrence and the metabolism of extracellular connective tissue components in the liver. The normal liver contains typical connective tissue proteins (collagens, structural glycoproteins and proteoglycans) not only in vessel walls, perivascular areas and in the capsule, but they occur also in small amounts in the parenchyma, mainly in the space of Disse along the sinusoidal walls. The “interstitial” collagens type I and III represent the major amount of collagen in the normal as well as in the fibrotic liver, showing a relative increase of type III in fibrosis. Basement membrane collagens type IV and V as well as the cysteine-rich collagenous components “7 S collagen” and “short chain collagen” have been shown to occur in extracts prepared after limited pepsin digestion. In the normal liver, basement membrane collagen can hardly be detected within the parenchyma by immunofluorescence microscopy; increased occurrence, however, can be shown along the sinusoids even in early stages of chronic liver diseases. The glycoprotein fibronectin was shown to be distributed very similarly to collagens type I and III, whereas the basement membrane specific glycoprotein laminin is restricted to vessel walls and the epithelial layer of bile ductuli in the normal liver but is also found in the parenchyma in fibrosis. Occurrence of proteoglycans is increased in fibrosis: a change in the composition of glycosaminoglycans from mainly heparan sulfate in the normal to dermatan- and chondroitin sulfate in the fibrotic liver was observed. It is not yet clear which cell type is mainly responsible for increased connective tissue synthesis in fibrosis. The occurrence of cells resembling smooth muscle cells (“myofibroblasts”) in connective tissue septa of fibrotic livers and the fact that similar cells which actively synthesize collagen grow from explants of fibrotic livers may indicate the significance of this cell type in the process of liver fibrosis.

    Notes: Abstract. Superoxide dismutases play an important protective role in the lung defense against the pro-oxidative effect of fibrous dusts (e.g. crocidolite fibers). Particularly crocidolite, but also other asbestos fibers, are known to induce cellular antioxidant defense. Although rockwool, a man-made fiber made from rock, is used widely for insulation purposes, its effects on the superoxide dismutases in bronchoepithelial cells have not been investigated. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether human bronchoepithelial cells (BEAS 2B) respond to rockwool fibers (115-4 experimental rockwool fiber) by induction of MnSOD mRNA and an increase of MnSOD activity levels. The results were compared with BEAS 2B cells exposed to silica (α-quartz: DQ12; SiO2) and UICC (Union Internationale Contre le Cancer) crocidolite (concentrations of all dusts: 0, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 μg/cm2= 0, 2.4, 6, 12, 30, 60 μg/ml; 24-h exposure) as control fibers. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed close dust cell contact under all experimental settings. Very low MnSOD mRNA baseline levels rose significantly (p 〈 0.001) in BEAS 2B cells exposed to all three dusts at 2 μg/cm2. However, at 〉25 μg/cm2 MnSOD mRNA levels in silica- and crocidolite- but not in rockwool-exposed cells decreased. Slight (no significance) increases of MnSOD activity were observed which decreased at higher dust (〉5 μg/cm2) concentrations. These results suggest that: (1) like crocidolite and silica, rockwool accelerates MnSOD gene expression in bronchoepithelial cells; (2) an increase of MnSOD mRNA levels is not accompanied by MnSOD activity elevation; (3) in contrast to rockwool, high concentrations (≥25 μg/cm2) of crocidolite and silica reduced MnSOD activity and MnSOD mRNA levels. Because oxidants (H2O2) and crocidolite fibers were shown to reduce SOD activity, lack of active MnSOD protein may be caused by inactivation on a post-translational level. Furthermore, the decline of MnSOD mRNA and MnSOD activity levels coincides with increasing cytotoxicity. In conclusion, rockwool was demonstrated to induce MnSOD gene expression, perhaps because of its pro-oxidative effect in bronchoepithelial cells. In contrast to crocidolite and silica, rockwool fibers are not cytotoxic in this experimental setting.

    Notes: Abstract The longitudinal momentum distribution of7Be was measured after the break-up reaction of8B in C, Al, and Pb targets at 1471 A·MeV. We observed a narrow distribution with a FWHM of (81±6) MeV/c in all targets. The experimental results indicate an extended spatial distribution of the loosely bound proton in8B, and agree with QRPA calculations.

    Notes: Abstract We report the first observation of the doubly magic nucleus78Ni50 and the heavy isotopes77Ni,73,74,75Co,80Cu. The isotopes were produced by nuclear fission in collisions of 750 A·MeV projectiles of238U on Be target nuclei. The fully-stripped fission products were separated in-flight by the fragment separator FRS and identified event-by-event by measuring the magnetic rigidity, the trajectory, the energy deposit, and the time of flight. Production cross-sections and fission yields for the new Ni-isotopes are given.

    Notes: Abstract At the projectile-fragment separator FRS of GSI, relativistic secondary beams of about 520 MeV/nucleon were produced by fragmentation of a primary beam of58Ni at 650 MeV/nucleon in a beryllium target. By means of aΔE—Bρ—TOF measurement, the fragments have been identified and their charge-changing probabilities in targets of CH2, C, Al, and Pb have been determined. We describe the results for the total charge-changing cross sections in this first paper, whereas a second article deals with the partial charge-changing cross sections. At the drip line, the measured charge-changing cross sections exhaust close to 100% of the total interaction cross sections as calculated with semiempirical models. The measurements at the proton drip line with low-Z targets indicate that only a very small increase of the cross sections may be observed, whereas the measurements with a lead target show that no significant increase of the total charge-changing cross sections is present which would be a hint for low-lying dipole strength. Our experimental data are compared to Glauber-type calculations.

    Notes: Abstract At the projectile-fragment separator FRS of GSI, relativistic secondary beams of about 520 MeV/nucleon were produced by fragmentation of a primary beam of58Ni at 650 MeV/nucleon in a beryllium target. By means of aΔE—Bρ—TOF measurement, the fragments were identified and their charge-changing probabilities in targets of (CH2) n , C, Al, and Pb placed at the exit of the FRS were determined. Whereas a first article dealt with the total charge-changing cross sections, we describe in this second article the element distributions of these secondary fragments, which are found to depend strongly on the isospin of the secondary projectile as well as on the target material. In the case of the lead target, the influence of the electromagnetic dissociation is clearly visible in the one-proton and two-proton removal channels. The preference for the formation of even-Z fragments is much more pronounced for exotic secondary projectiles than for projectiles close to stability. Calculations with a geometrical abrasion-ablation model allow to understand the global features of the experimental data. However, far from stability, the discrepancies between calculations and experimental data increase.
