    Notes: Summary In two experiments carried out on two alternate days, the 24-hrhythmicity of pineal gland volume, pinealocyte nuclear size in cortex and medulla and mitotic actty were studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats, to assess to what extent morphological parameters reflect the pronounced day/night differences in pineal melatonin formation. Pineal volume exhibited statistically significant changes in the second experiment only, with a distinct trough at 6 p.m. Karyometry revealed highly variable patterns. In the first experiment, pinealocyte nuclear changes lacked parallelism in cortex and medulla. The cortex exhibited a bimodal curve with peaks at noon of the first day and at 6 a.m. of the second day, and two troughs at 6 a.m. and midnight respectively of the first day. The medulla showed no clear-cut rhythmicity. In the second experiment, cortex and medulla reacted similarly, nuclear size decreasing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., remaining low thereafter. Mitotic activity of pinealocytes is low (on average 23 mitotic figures/gland). In both experiments statistically significant differences existed between certain times, pointing in the direction of 24-hrhythmicity, but whereas the curve exhibited a peak at midnight in the first experiment, mitotic activity in the second experiment showed a trough at midnight. It is concluded that for as yet unexplained reasons morphological parameters do not appear to accurately reflect circadian rhythmicity of pineal melatonin formation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Die Entwicklung der Cholinesterase-Aktivität im axialen Mesoderm vonTriturus cristatus von der Neurula bis zur schwimmenden Larve mit zwei Zehen (Harrison-Stadium 15–42) wurde histochemisch untersucht. 2. Nach Einbettung der Keime in Polyäthylenglykol wurde der ChE-Nachweis an Serienschnitten nach Karnovsky und Roots (nach Blockierung der Sulfhydrylgruppen mit Maleinimid) und mit der Koelle-Methode durchgeführt. 3. Im Stadium der offenen Neurula konnte die ChE im Urdarmdach im präsumptiven Chorda- und Somitenmaterial nachgewiesen werden. 4. Die Chorda ist vom späten Neurula- bis zum mittleren Schwanzknospenstadium (Harrison-Stadium 25) in ihrer ganzen Länge ChE-positiv. Anschließend verschwindet die ChE-Aktivität von cranial nach caudal fortschreitend aus der Chorda. 5. Die Hypochorda zeigt vom Beginn ihres Auftretens im Harrison-Stadium 21/22 an eine außerordentlich starke ChE-Aktivität, die sich im Stadium 30–33 wieder verliert. Bald darauf läßt sich die Hypochorda histologisch nicht mehr erkennen. 6. Die einzelnen Somiten sind bei ihrer Entstehung ChE-positiv. 7. Mit der cranial einsetzenden Ausbildung der Myotome steigt die ChE-Aktivität in den beteiligten Somitenzellen stark an. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt (Harrison-Stadium 24–26) sind caudal regelmäßig ChE-negative Somiten anzutreffen. Mit ihrer Umwandlung in Myotome tritt in ihnen wieder eine ChE-Aktivität auf. Sie setzt am dorsomedialen Somitenrand ein. 8. Die ChE-Aktivität in den Myoblasten erstreckt sich zunächst über die gesamte Zelle. Vom Harrison-Stadium 35 an konzentriert sie sich an den Enden der Myoblasten im Bereich der Segmentgrenzen. Gleichzeitig mit der starken Aktivität in den Myoblasten tritt eine ChE-Aktivität in den motorischen Vorderhornzellen im Neuralrohr auf.
    Notes: Summary 1. InTriturus cristatus embryos (Harrison stages 15–42) the development of cholinesterase (ChE) activity in the axial mesoderm was investigated. 2. After embedding in polyethylene glycol the histochemical technique of Karnovsky and Roots (preincubation in maleinimid to block sulfhydryl groups) and that of Koelle were employed on serial sections. 3. In early neurula stage ChE is found in the presumptive notochordal and somite material of the archenteron roof. 4. The notochord is ChE-positive from late neurula stage until Harrison stage 25. Then the cells loose their activity in cranio-caudal progression. 5. The subnotochordal rod is ChE-positive from Harrison stage 21/22 until Harrison stage 30–33. 6. The somites are ChE-positive as they develop. 7. During the formation of myotomes, beginning in the cranial part of the embryo the amount of ChE in the engaged somite cells increases. At this time (Harrison 24–26) ChE-negative somites are found in the caudal part of the embryo. These somites become ChE-positive before they change into myotomes. 8. From the beginning the whole myoblasts are ChE-positive. Beginning with Harrison stage 35 the activity concentrates at the ends of the myoblasts near the segmental border. At this time a strong activity in the motor cells of the neural tube appears.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of pengitoxin has been studied in 28 healthy subjects after intravenous and oral administration. The mean plasma concentration 24 h after 0.5 mg i.v. was 5.2 ng · ml−1. Following an open two-compartment model a mean elimination half-life of 60.5 h (24.9 to 103.5 h) and a mean volume of distribution (Vdarea) of 66.91 (31.8 to 109.61) were calculated. Absorption calculated by comparison of the AUC0-∞-values amounted to 99%. Within 4 days, 16.7% (11.7 to 21.1%) or 27.8% (18.4 to 33.7%) (0.5 mg i.v. or 1.2 mg p.o.) was excreted in urine. After pengitoxin 0.5 mg i.v. total body clearance and renal clearance were 13.3 ml · min−1 (7.0 to 18.6 ml · min−1) and 3.0 ml · min−1 (1.9 to 3.9 ml · min−1) respectively. The elimination half-life of pengitoxin is longer than that of digoxin and distinctly shorter than that of digitoxin, whilst its distribution volume and clearance are closer to those of digitoxin than of digoxin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei zwei Blei-exponierten Männern im Alter von 34 und 39 Jahren persistierte eine erhöhte Konzentration des Erythrozyten-Protoporphyrins um das Vier- bis Zwölffache der oberen Normgrenze über mehrere Jahre. Es handelt sich um eine Zink-Protoporphyrinämie, ohne daß eine Bleiintoxikation oder Anämie vorlag. Der 34jährige hatte sich über zehn Jahre regelmäßig als Blutspender zur Verfügung gestellt und war mehrfach schon wegen Eisenmangel behandelt worden. Hämoglobin, Erythrozytenzahl, Hämatokrit und Eisen lagen an der unteren Normgrenze; die Aktivitäten der Porphobilinogen-Synthase (PBG-S), Uroporphyrinogen-Synthase und -Decarboxylase in Erythrozyten sowie die Porphyrinvorläufer- und Porphyrinausscheidung im Urin war normal. Die Protoporphyrinämie wurde auf einen prälatenten/latenten Eisenmangel zurückgeführt. Bei dem 39jährigen hingegen war die Aktivität der PBG-S auf 388 µmol/l·h gegenüber dem Mittelwert der Kontrollen (1 190±210,x±SD,n=50) herabgesetzt, begleitet von einer geringgradig erhöhten Ausscheidung von δ-Aminolävulinsäure und Koproporphyrin im Urin und einer hochnormalen Bleikonzentration im Blut. Bei seinen Familienangehörigen fand sich weder eine Protoporphyrinämie noch eine hämatologische Störung. Sechs von acht Familienmitgliedern in drei Generationen wiesen eine erniedrigte Aktivität der PBG-S auf: 600±160;p〈0,001 verglichen zu Kontrollen. Diese Familienmitglieder sind heterozygot in bezug auf den PBG-S-Mangel; sie sind klinisch unauffällig im Vergleich zu Homozygoten mit einem akuten Porphyrie-Syndrom. Die Zink-Aktivierung des Enzyms und seine Reaktivierung durch Dithiothreitol waren normal im Gegensatz zur PBG-S von Patienten mit Bleivergiftung. Die Ursache der biochemischen Symptome einer subklinischen Bleiintoxikation bei dem Propositus wird in dem hereditären PBG-S-Defekt gesehen, der ihn für eine niedrige Bleiexposition sensibilisiert. Die Bestimmung der PBG-S wird zur Entdeckung Heterozygoter empfohlen. Als neue molekulare Basis für die Pathogenese der Bleiintoxikation wird der hereditäre PBG-S-Mangel erkannt.
    Notes: Summary For several years, a 4–12-fold increase of the upper normal limit in erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentrations persisted in two men 34 and 39 years of age who were chronically exposed to lead. We are dealing with a zinc protoporphyrinemia in both cases, without lead intoxication or anemia. The 34-year-old had been a regular blood donor for 10 years and had already been treated for iron deficiency several times. Hemoglobin, red cell counts, hematocrit, and iron were at the lower normal limit. The activity of porphobilinogen synthase (PBG-S), uroporphyrinogen-synthase and -decarboxylase as well as urinary porphyrin precursors and porphyrin excretion were normal. Protoporphyrinemia was said to be due to a prelatent/latent iron deficiency. In the 39-year-old, the activity of PBG-S was lowered to 388 µmol/l·h, as compared to the mean of controls (1,190±210,x±SD,n=50), in connection with a slightly elevated excretion of δ-aminolevulinic acid and coproporphyrin in the urine and a high-normal blood lead level. In his family there was no history of either a protoporphyrinemia or a hematological disturbance. Six of eight family members in three generations showed a diminished activity of PBG-S: 600±160,P〈0.001 compared to controls. These family members are heterozygous with regard to the PBG-S deficiency; they are clinically unobtrusive in comparison to homozygotes with an acute prophyria syndrome. Activation by zinc and reactivation by dithiothreitol were normal in contrast to PBG-S from patients with lead intoxication. The cause of biochemical symptoms of subclinical lead intoxication developed by the propositus is probably due to the hereditary PBG-S deficiency which sensitizes him to low-level lead exposure. The determination of red cell PBG-S activity can be recommended as a test detecting heterozygotes. The hereditary PBG-S deficiency is recognized as a new molecular basis for the pathogenesis of lead intoxication.
