    Notes: Summary Ten healthy subjects were exposed to passive smoking at a high level corresponding to 25–30 ppm CO in the ambient air for 3 h. All subjects were exposed at the same time in a climatic chamber especially designed for exposure experiments. Despite an identical exposure rate considerable interindividual variability of subsequent nicotine and cotinine levels in saliva, plasma and 24-h urine were observed. This variability was more prominent in nicotine than in cotinine levels. The kinetic pattern as reflected by saliva levels for up to 24 h was consistent with previous data found in active smokers. Nicotine levels found in saliva were markedly influenced by repeated sampling. This was not the case for cotinine levels. With regard to laboratory techniques RIA seems to be more sensitive than gaschromatography (GC). The results of this study suggest that measuring cotinine levels in 24-h urine with RIA is presently the most sensitive and reliable criterion for estimating exposure to passive smoking and for validating questionnaires or interviews about short-term exposure to passive smoking.

    Notes: Abstract 2-Nonanol, 2-heptanol, octyl decanoate, and octyl octanoate were identified from the heads ofTrigona silvestriana workers. When presented at the nest, 2-nonanol, 2-heptanol, and the mixture of the four compounds elicited angular flights, landing, and buzzing of guard bees. Octyl octanoate elicited a weaker response. No response was given to octyl decanoate, to the ether solvent, or to the control volatile, vanillin.

    Notes: Bovine spermatozoa were fractionated on Percoll density gradients into two major subpopulations of motile spermatozoa and a minor fraction containing mostly nonmotile spermatozoa with abnormal morphology. Fractionation required the addition of bovine serum albumin and a continuous Percoll gradient buffered with sodium bicarbonate. It is postulated that, under suitable ionic conditions, the binding of bovine serum albumin to spermatozoa amplifies subtle differences between subpopulations. These studies were directed toward separating Y- and X-bearing spermatozoa. However, when the subpopulations were evaluated by flow cytometry, their Y:X ratios were similar to that of an unfractionated control.

    Notes: The appearance of the nuclear abnormality “crater defect” is described in spermatozoa from the domestic horse (Equadae). Under scanning electron microscopy, the defect appears as a severe depression at any area of the sperm nucleus or as a blister or swelling at some point on the sperm nucleus. Ultrastructurally, the crater appears as a nuclear vacuole containing amorphous material similar to that described in bull and boar sperm. The craters ranged in size from 0.5 to 2 μm in diameter. Within ejaculates of stallions having this defect, the percentages of sperm with crater defects varied widely over time, being as high as 60% and as low as 15%.
