    Notes: Abstract Our purpose was to evaluate a dedicated head and neck coil for demonstration of supra-aortic arteries with optimised magnetic resonance angiography techniques. We performed 47 examinations with a 1.5-T system. We used coronal 3D fast imaging with steady precession (FISP), axial 3D tilted optimised nonsaturating excitation (TONE) and 2D fast low-angle shot (FLASH) for the carotid bifurcation, axial 3D TONE with or without magnetisation transfer (MT) for intracranial arteries, and axial 3D FISP or TONE for the aortic arch. Evaluation included visual assessment of image quality and grading of stenoses near the carotid bifurcation; digital subtraction angiography was used as the reference method. Axial 3D TONE gave superior image quality at the carotid bifurcation, MT-TONE intracranially, and 3D FISP for the aortic arch vessels. Nevertheless, sensitivity and specificity for detection of significant stenoses were similar with coronal 3D FISP (96.3 %, 94.0 %), axial 3D TONE (92.6 %, 92.5 %) and axial 2D FLASH (96.3 %, 86.6 %). Image quality at the aortic arch needs further improvement.

    Notes: Abstract Antibodies against 10 different secretory proteins from the accessory sex glands of the male rat were used for immunohistochemical studies of salivary and lacrimal glands from intact and castrated rats, at the light- and electron-microscopic levels. In the parotid gland, secretory acinar cells showed immunoreactivity with antibodies against prostatic binding protein, cystatin-related peptide and acid phosphatase (isoenzyme pI 8.0; 5.6) typical of ventral prostate, and seminal vesicle secretion VI. Western blotting analysis indicated that immunoreactivity against prostatic binding protein was attributable to a subunit, presumably C3. Acid phosphatase pI 5.6 showed a molecular weight of 66 kDa, which is at variance with the prostatic form. Immunoreactivity for secretory transglutaminase, derived from the coagulating gland, was restricted to myoepithelial and stromal cells. In castrated animals, the immunoreactivity of acinar cells was reduced to the background level, whereas stromal transglutaminase immunoreactivity was unaltered. The distribution pattern of immunoreactivity for the proteins mentioned was almost identical in the lacrimal gland. Significant differences were however observed in the immunoreactivity of the inframandibular gland, where serous glandular cells were non-immunoreactive for seminal proteins, with the exception of acid phosphatase isoenzyme pI 8.0. Granules present in the convoluted granular ducts were immunoreactive particularly for acid phosphatase (isoenzyme pI 5.6)but much less for cystatin-related peptide; immunoreactivity was reduced after castration. The straight portion of the inframandibular duct system was immunoreactive for transglutaminase, but no influence of castration was visible. The distribution of immunoreactivity for seminal proteins present in the salivary and lacrimal glands and the pronounced androgen-dependence of their expression point to functional relationships of the respective proteins at both glandular sites.

Immunoreactivity for secretory transglutaminase, derived from the coagulating gland, was restricted to myoepithelial and stromal cells.
