    Notes: Summary A case of esthesioneuroblastoma, the pathological diagnosis of which almost always causes great difficulties, was investigated ultrastructurally, biochemically, and immunohistologically, using antibodies against the five known types of intermediate filaments [keratin, vimentin, desmin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilaments]. The tumour cells did not react with antibodies against any of the five intermediate filament proteins. Ultrastructural investigations showed dense cored secretory granules in the cytoplasm and cell processes. Thus, immunohistology offers by “exclusion” a differential diagnosis to avoid often misdiagnosed tumours (undifferentiated carcinomas, embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas, and malignant lymphomas), since carcinomas react with antikeratin, embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas with antibodies to desmin and malignant lymphomas show immunofluorescence with antibodies to vimentin. The biological behaviour (age distribution, tendency to metastasize), the normal values of biochemical parameters, homovanillic acid and vanilmandelic acid (HVA, VMA), and the absence of neurofilaments distinguish this type of tumour from the peripheral sympathetic neuroblastoma.

    Notes: Summary This study was designed to investigate the effects of nicorandil in comparison to isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on hemodynamics, on myocardial metabolism and on effectiveness in the preservation of ischemically stressed myocardium. Repeated ischemia (3 min) was produced in anaesthetized open-chest mongrel dogs by proximal, intermittent left anterior descending artery occlusion with subsequent reperfusion. In each experiment 2–3 control occlusions were compared to 2–3 occlusions under nicorandil or ISDN. Application of both nicorandil (0.64 μmol·kg−1 body weight, i.v.) and ISDN (1.27 μmol·kg−1 body weight, i.v.) led to a significant afterload reduction and to a decrease of the coronary vascular resistance. The efficiency of the compounds in the protection of ischemic myocardium was examined by quantification of oxygen-debt and oxygen-repayment in the occlusion and reperfusion periods. Compared to control, premedication with nicorandil led to a significant increase of oxygen-debt, whereas ISDN reduced it significantly. Oxygen-repayment remained unchanged. The influence of the drugs on the metabolism of glucose, lactate and free fatty acids (FFA) was examined under basic conditions, in ischemia and during reperfusion. For all substrates, extraction, extraction ratio and oxygen extraction ratio were calculated. Under basic conditions, glucose metabolism was significantly enhanced in both groups but FFA metabolism was inhibited only by ISDN. In ischemia, FFA metabolism was enhanced by nicorandil and depressed by ISDN. Data obtained in this study suggest that nicorandil may even aggravate the metabolic and energetic situation of ischemic myocardium and, on the other hand, clearly support the well documented protective effects of ISDN.

    Notes: Three mass fragmentatographic methods for the determination of unconjugated estriol in pregnancy plasma and unconjugated and conjugated estriol in plasma of nonpregnant women after estriol administration were developed and tested as to their reliability and practicability. The methods were found to fulfil appropriate reliability criteria especially with regard to specificity. Unconjugated estriol could be assayed without prior chromatography in late pregnancy plasma, but a chromatographic step was needed for plasmas with a low estriol titre, and both a methylation step and chromatography is needed to achieve the required specificity if plasma conjugated estriol is determined or if assays are carried out following estriol administration. Unconjugated estriol in normal late pregnancy plasma was found in concentrations from 4.3 to 9.3 μg/l. The highest value recorded, 16.3 μg/l, was found in a prediabetic subject with mild hypertension, who delivered a child weighing 4150 g by Cesarean section in the 39th week. Low values were found in severe hypertension and in toxemia, and in general the results from the pathological material investigated seemed to correlate well with the clinical findings. However, only a few samples (five to ten) can be processed so rapidly that the results can be obtained the same day, which in addition to the expensive and complicated instrumentation limits the usefulness of the methods in routine clinical chemistry.

    Notes: Fragmentation of the dimethylsilyl (DMS) derivative of methyl 12-hydroxyoctadecanoate is found to be closely analogous to that of the previously studied trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative, including migration of the silyl substituent from C-12 to the ester carboxyl function. besides establishing comparable migratory aptitudes of the TMS and DMS substituents, details of several other processes were revealed by use of deuterium labelling of selected positions and compared with related fragmentation of simple long-chain alcanoic esters.

    Notes: Trimethylsilylation has proved to be extremely useful in the gas chromatography and the mass spectrometry of hydroxy acid methyl esters. The characteristic mass spectral fragmentation patterns have shown these derivatives to be superior in some respects to others for structural elucidation; in particular, hydroxylation followed by trimethylsilylation provides a useful method of double bond location in unsaturated fatty acid esters.A preliminary presentation of this method has been given by G. Eglinton at the Lecture etting in Combined Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry at the school of Pharmacy, London, August 9, 1967. It has come to the authors' attention that this method simultaneously developed by Dr. P. Capella, Institute di Industria Agrarie, University of Bologna, Italy1c (P. Capella and C. M. Zorzut, Anal. Chem. 41, 1458 (1968).)
