    Notes: Abstract The spatial distribution of cations was assayed qualitatively and quantitatively in tentacular nematocytes of Hydra vulgaris in a scanning transmission electron microscope by means of x-ray microanalysis performed on 100 nm thick freeze-dried cryosections. The matrix of undischarged cysts (stenoteles, desmonemes and isorhizas) was found to contain mainly K+. In isolated nematocysts of Hydra the intracapsular potassium can be readily substituted by practically any other mono- and divalent cation (Na+, NH4 +, Mn2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+) all, except Fe2+, without impairing the ability of the cyst to respond to the chemical triggering with dithioerythritol or proteases. Monovalent cations increase the osmotically generated intracapsular pressure compared to divalent ions.

    Notes: Abstract Of 112 patients with peptic ulcer disease examined for oral carriage ofCandida, 66 (59%) were carriers.Candida carriage was associated with blood group O (P〈0.05) and, independently, with nonsecretion of blood group antigens (P〈0.01). For each subject, the presence or absence of yeasts was found to be a constant characteristic, and only among patients positive forCandida was blood group O or nonsecretion more frequent than expected in the general population. The quantity of yeasts isolated was significantly greater in patients than in normal subjects (P〈0.002), as was the frequency of carriage in the patient population (59% vs 32%). This increase was not associated with treatment with H2-receptor antagonists. The results of paired oral and gastroduodenal aspirate cultures suggested that identifyingCandida in the oral cavity was a good indicator of the presence of yeasts elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Mechanisms whereby overgrowth ofCandida in the upper gastrointestinal tract might contribute to the inflammatory background of peptic ulcer disease are discussed.
