    Notes: Abstract Using ultrastructural immunogold histochemistry on LR-Gold-embedded 6- and 7-day-old mouse embryos we investigated the appearance of the A- and B1-chains of the laminin molecule during mesoderm formation. With the help of antibodies against the A-chain and the E4 fragment of the B1-chain of the laminin molecule we were able to detect the subunits in vivo. Staining for the E4 fragment of the short arm of the laminin molecule from day 6 was negative. In contrast, strong staining for the A-chain of laminin was observed. Our results show, that the A-chain of laminin appears before the B1-chain in the 6-day-old mouse embryo before a basement membrane is seen between the ectodermal and entodermal cell layers. Furthermore, the staining pattern indicates, that the laminin molecule changes its orientation in the basement membrane of the ectoderm during mesoderm formation. On day 7 staining for the A-chain of laminin and for the E4 fragment was seen in a random distribution throughout the entire basement membrane, whereas in areas were the onset of mesoderm formation was taking place, the E4 fragment was restricted to the edge of the disintegrating basement membrane.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des formations osseuses apparemment bilatérales, de formes et tailles différentes, localisées dans les parties antéro-supérieures et inférieures des articulations sacroiliaques, ont été observées sur les images de coupes axiales de la région pelvienne chez des patients jeunes. Aucune autre modification pathologique n'a été notée au niveau des articulations sacro-iliaques de ces individus. Chez l'un des patients, les structures osseuses pouvaient aussi être observées sur les radiographies standard. Nous avons aussi étudié cette articulation chez 3 sujets anatomiques juvéniles, par la radiographie, la TDM, l'étude macroscopique et histologique. Chez deux d'entre eux des formations osseuses semblables à celles observées chez les patients jeunes pouvaient être détectées sur les coupes TDM. Les recherches macroscopiques ont montré que ces structures étaient des points d'ossification secondaires localisés dans le cartilage articulaire de la partie latérale du sacrum en regard du 1er et du 3e segments sacrés. Si l'on se réfère à une littérature anatomique plus ancienne, ces points d'ossification épiphysaires contribuent à la surface auriculaire de la partie latérale du sacrum et à la surface libre latérale des parties caudales du sacrum. Ils peuvent être observés entre 12 et 25 ans et commencent à fusionner avec les parties latérales aux environs de la 18e année. Sur les bassins osseux provenant de pièces juvéniles conservées, les ossicules libres n'ont pas pu être décelés dans la région des articulations sacroiliaques. Les particularités histologiques du processus d'ossification observé sont discutés. Ces points d'ossification physiologiques doivent être distingués des altérations pathologiques apparaissant au scanner comme des structures osseuses ou assimilées.
    Notes: Summary Bilateral apparently bony structures of different forms and sizes located in the inferior and superior ventral parts of the sacroiliac joints were observed on axial CT images of the pelvic region of juvenile patients. No other pathological changes were noted in the sacroiliac joints of these individuals. In one patient the bony structures could also be seen on a conventional plain radiograph. We also examined 3 juvenile autopsy specimens of this joint using radiology, CT, macroscopical evaluation and histology. In two of them, structures could be detected on the CT scans which were similar to those observed in the young patients. Macroscopic investigations revealed the structures to be secondary ossification centres located in the articular cartilage of the lateral part of the os sacrum at the levels of the first and third sacral segments. According to older anatomical literature, these epiphysial ossification centres contribute to the auricular surface of the lateral part of the os sacrum and the free lateral surface of the inferior sacral parts. They can be observed between the ages of 12 and 25 years and begin to synostose with the lateral part around the age of 18 years. In macerated juvenile specimens of the bony pelvis, free ossicles were not detectable in the region of the sacroiliac joints. Histological peculiarities of the ossification process observed are discussed. These physiologically occurring ossification centres are to be differentiated from pathological alterations appearing as bony or bone-like structures on CT scans.
