    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An chronisch instrumentierten weiblichen Beaglehunden wurden unter standardisierten Umweltund Ernährungsbedingungen Untersuchungen zum Studium der Kontrollprozesse des Natriumhaushaltes durchgeführt. Die nach experimenteller Erhöhung des Druckes im linken Vorhof (reversible Mitralstenose) auftretende Natriurese (atriale Natriurese, AN) eignet sich als Test zur Prüfung anderer in der Kontrolle des Natriums wirksamer Mechanismen. Die Ergebnisse erlauben folgende Schlußfolgerungen: 1. Die im linken Vorhof perzipierte Expansion des Extrazellulärraumes besitzt keine unersetzbare Funktion für die Natriumhomöostase (Volumenkontrolle). 2. Natriumkontrollmechanismen reagieren sehr empfindlich auf Änderungen des Gesamtkörpernatriums (TBS). Eine geringfügige Verminderung des TBS hemmt oder ‚sperrt‘ natriumeliminierende Prozesse wie z.B. eine ‚Kochsalzdiurese‘, eine osmotische Diurese oder die atriale Natriurese (Sperrphänomen). 3. Es ist wahrscheinlich, daß ein spezieller natriuretischer Faktor existiert. 4. Das Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosteron-System scheint u.a. mit seiner Komponente Angiotensin II wesentlich für die Natriumretention zu sein. Der Gesamtkörpernatriumbestand wird von zahlreichen ‚redundanten‘ Prozessen kontrolliert. Zur Zeit sind quantitative Angaben über einzelne Mechanismen nicht möglich. Die Gesamtkontrolle für das Natrium scheint unter allen Bedingungen eine optimale Strategie für das ‚Überleben‘ oder den ‚Komfort‘ zu entwickeln, was beinhaltet, daß sich der ‚Stellenwert‘ einzelner Mechanismen ändern kann.
    Notes: Summary Chronically instrumented female beagles were maintained in standardized environmental and dietary conditions allowing careful examination of the mechanisms governing sodium homeostasis. The experimental increase in left atrial pressure (obtained by a reversible mitral stenosis) is accompanied by an increase in sodium excretion (atrial natriuresis, AN). AN served as an experimental manoeuvre from which the mechanisms governing sodium homeostasis could be elucidated. The results allow the following conclusions: (1) The ‘signals’ arising from distension of the left atrium (e.g. expansion of the extracellular fluid volume) appear not to be a necessary prerequisite for the maintenance of sodium homeostasis. (2) The control mechanisms seem to be very sensitive to changes in total body sodium (TBS). A small reduction in TBS abolishes sodium eliminating processes e.g. saline diuresis, osmotic diuresis, AN. (3) It is probable that a natriuretic factor exists for sodium elimination. In summary, total body sodium appears to be controlled by a series of ‘redundant’ mechanisms which guarantee an appropriate strategy for the comfort and ultimate survival of the organism. At the moment it is impossible to quantitate the contributions made by the various mechanisms in the control of sodium metabolism.

    Notes: Summary In a series of 60 patients 62 intraoperative measurements with the 32-P (radiophosphorus) tumour marker were performed. Using miniature semiconductor probes a reliable discrimination between normal brain and neoplastic tissue was possible in nearly all brain tumours. The best results were found in meningiomas, where even small, visually hardly discernible tumour residues within the matrix zone could be reliably detected. Only in low-grade gliomas the application of the 32-P marker was impossible due to count rates similar to or below the basic rates of normal brain. This simple to use, noninvasive method proved its usefulness in all situations where a local radical tumour removal was important.

    Notes: Summary The capacity of a new optical navigation device is demonstrated by six microsurgical procedures for small subcortical lesions within the central sensorimotor strip. This small series is aimed at less invasive resection in this functionally critical region, independently of primary diagnosis and outcome. Guided by high resolution CT imaging data five brain tumours and one cavernous angioma was selectively located and most sparingly removed without additional sensorimotor deficit. In two cases improvement of a pre-operative paresis was observed immediately after surgery. Thanks to light-weight freehand pointing instruments and a ranging accuracy of +/- 1 mm, damage to functionally important brain areas and vessels was avoided by using uncommonlyoblique, e.g., transsulcal ways of access which would hardly have been possible even with guidance by conventional stereotaxy. The demanding systematic cortical stimulation of the precentral gyrus applied in three cases was only sensitive in infiltrating tumours — e.g., low grade astrocytomas — where for want of adjuvant therapy it was essential to proceed to the extreme limits of resection. In general, precise anatomical localisation by computer aided surgery (CAS) is sufficient in small central lesions which guarantees minimally invasive surgery. The potential of this new, soon commercially available optical navigation system in (neuro)surgery, quality control and teaching is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Conscious, chronically instrumented dogs, maintained on a high sodium intake, were used to investigate whether surgical cardiac denervation impairs the natriuresis associated with left atrial pressure increase produced in three ways: during an increase in left atrial pressure by means of a reversible mitral stenosis (protocol 1); after an i.v. saline load (1.0 ml 0.9%·saline min−1·kg−1 over 60 min) (protocol 2); after an oral saline load (14.5 mmol Na·kg−1 given with the food as an isotonic solution) (protocol 3). During a reversible mitral stenosis, in intact dogs, urine volume and sodium excretion increased markedly (from 34–145 μl·min−1·kg−1 and from 3–12 μmol·min−1·kg−1); mean arterial pressure increased by an average of 2 kPa (15 mm Hg) and heart rate by 55 b/min; plasma renin activity fell from 0.37–0.21 ng Al·ml−1·h−1. Cardiac denervation eliminated these effects of left atrial distension except for a small increase in heart rate (12 b/min). This indicates that the natriuresis and diuresis during left atrial distension resulted from stimulation of receptors located in the left atrium. In contrast, during protocol 2 and 3, the same amounts of sodium and water were excreted in the cardiac denervated dogs as compared to the intact dogs. A comparable decrease in plasma renin activity also was observed. — Apparently the presence of the cardiac nerves is not a prerequisite for maintenance of sodium and water homeostasis.

    Notes: Summary Conscious dogs were used to study whether changes in total renal hemodynamics are responsible for diuresis and natriuresis during an experimental increase in left atrial pressure (LAP). To ensure a controlled dietary sodium intake, the dogs (n=8) were chronically kept on ahigh or alow sodium intake diet (HSI; LSI). After the dogs had completely recovered from surgery (carotid loop, thoracotomy, flank incision), LAP was increased by about 10 cm H2O for 60 min by tightening a purse string around the mitral annulus (51 expts). Mean urine volume (V) increased in both groups to a comparable degree. Mean sodium excretion increased somewhat more in HSI dogs, but remained elevated in LSI dogs after the LAP increase. Renal blood flow (electromagnetic flow transducer) and inulin clearance did not change. Renal vascular resistance (RVR) increased by about 20% (HSI) and 15% (LSI). — When the induced LAP increase was terminated, V decreased. RVR decreased in HSI dogs by about −11% and in LSI dogs by about −6% below control values.—It is concluded that volume regulatory mechanisms induced by an experimental LAP increase operate independently of changes in total renal blood flow.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Nucleus supraopticus der Ratte, die einer Dehydratation ausgesetzt war, wurde ultrastrukturell-morphometrisch analysiert. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die relativen Volumenanteile der einzelnen Zellkompartimente während der fünftägigen Durstperiode eine auffallende Konstanz aufweisen. Hingegen läßt sich eine absolute Zunahme der Einzelzellvolumina und somit auch der an der Synthese und Sekretion der Neurohormone beteiligten Zellkompartimente feststellen. Die vorliegenden Befunde sprechen für einen beschleunigten Abtransport des neurosekretorischen Materials bei gesteigerter Synthese. Auf eine optimale Standardisierung der Perfusionsmethode bei Untersuchungen am neurosekretorischen Zwischenhirnsystem wird hingewiesen.
    Notes: Summary The supraoptic nucleus of the dehydrated rat has been analysed by electron microscopy and morphometry. With that it appears, that the relative volumes of the different cell compartments are striking constant. Otherwise one can see an absolute increase of the cell volume together with the cell compartments which take part at the synthesis and secretion of the neurohormones. These results are expression of an accelerated move of the neurosecretory material during increased synthesis. The importance of an optimal standardization of the perfusion-method in investigations of the neurosecretory system is demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Hypophysenhinterlappen von Ratten, die einer Dehydratation unterworfen waren, wurde ultrastrukturell-morphometrisch untersucht. Als wichtigster Befund wurde bereits nach 36stündiger Dehydratation eine massive Abnahme der Neurosekretgranula festgestellt. Gleichzeitig ist ein signifikanter Anstieg der Fettkörper in den Pituicyten zu verzeichnen. Die Fettkörper können nach Ansicht der Autoren als Endprodukt der Membranreste oder der Trägersubstanz des Neurohormons interpretiert werden. Eine Mitbeteiligung der Lysosomen bei ihrer Verarbeitung wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The neurohypophysis of the rat after dehydration has been studied by electron microscopic and morphometric methods. As the main result we found a massive decrease of the neurosecretory granules already at a dehydration of 36 hours. At the same time one can note a significant increase of fat vacuoles in the pituicytes. These fat vacuoles could be the final product of residual membranes or of the carrier substance of the neurohormones. The possibility of a functional role of lysosomes in the catabolism is discussed.
