    Notes: Summary Interference with the neuronal connection between the substantia nigra and striatum of rat by hemitransection at the subthalamic level or lesion of left side of striatum by a simple suction method was studied in relation to the concentration of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in both regions. Time interval studies, at two, six, and twelve days after hemitransection, showed that the GABA concentration in substantia nigra had markedly decreased, whereas only a slight change was shown on the striatum of the operated side. Destruction of the striatum by suction caused a significant fall of the GABA content in the ipsilateral side of substantia nigra. However, destruction of the frontal cortex alone did not cause any marked change in the GABA content of the substantia nigra. In addition, electron microscopic studies disclosed that within the synaptic organization of the substantia nigra approximately 20 % of the boutons contained elongated synaptic vesicles, and that, following coagulation of the striatum, some large axosomatic terminals containing elongated synaptic vesicles also underwent degeneration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In zwei Versuchsserien wurde der Einfluß von chronischer Aethanolgabe (5 g/kg täglich) über 2 bzw. 4 Wochen auf die Neurotransmitter Glutamat und GABA bei Ratten untersucht. Dabei fand sich ein durch Barbiturat maskierter Anstieg der GABA-Konzentration in Striatum, Hippocampus und Substantia nigra, 8 bzw. 12 Stunden nach der letzten Aethanolgabe. Für Glutamat konnte ebenfalls ein Anstieg in den untersuchten Hirnregionen gefunden werden, der mit den für Dopamin bekannten Veränderungen unter Aethanol vereinbar ist. Die Bedeutung für die Pathogenese hirnorganischer Anfälle und psychotischer Symptome nach chronischem Alkoholmißbrauch wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The effect of chronic ethanol administration, 5 g/kg per day for 2 or 4 weeks, on the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA was investigated in rats. An increase in GABA was found in the striatum, hippocampus, and substantia nigra, 8 or 12 h after the last ingestion of ethanol, this being masked by injection of barbiturate. In addition an increase of glutamate has been found in the examined brain areas. This is consistent with the known effect of ethanol on brain Dopa metabolism and release. Finally, the relevance of the results for the pathogenesis of withdrawal seizures and delirious states is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Serum-Glutamatgehalt wurde bei endogen depressiven, neurotisch depressiven, schizophrenen und schizoaffektiven Patienten sowie gesunden Kontrollpersonen bestimmt. Hierbei zeigte sich, daß die Serumglutamatspiegel bei endogen und neurotisch Depressiven signifikant höher waren als bei den anderen Gruppen. Zwischen schizophrenen und schizoaffektiven Patienten sowie Kontrollen zeigten sich dagegen keine signifikanten Unterschiede. Die weitere Analyse der Daten erbrachte die Hypothese, daß die erhöhten Serum-Glutamat-Konzentrationen bei endogen und neurotisch Depressiven eine Folge der antidepressiven Medikation sind. Diese Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf die Wirkung der Antidepressiva auf das Serum-Glutamat bei affektiven Störungen diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary Glutamate concentration was determined in serum from endogenous and neurotic depressive patients, in persons with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, and in normal subjects. The mean serum glutamate level in the endogenous and neurotic depressive patients was found to be significantly higher than in any of the other groups. No other statistically significant differences were found. Statistical analysis revealed that the elevated serum glutamate concentration in the endogenous and neurotic depressive patients was probably caused by medication. These results are discussed in view of the effect of antidepressants upon the serum glutamate in the affective disorders.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um zu untersuchen, ob die Gabe von Phosphatidylcholin, die den zentralnervösen Azetylcholingehalt erhöht, einen Einfluß auf die Neurotransmitter Glutamat und GABA hat, wurde 17 von 32 Ratten über 14 Tage 1,5g/kg Lethicon® pro die peroral gegeben. Die fluorometrische Messung der Konzentrationen von Glutamat und GABA in frontalem Cortex, Striatum, Nigra, Kleinhirnrinde sowie von Glutamat im Liquor cerebrospinalis ließ keine signifikanten Unterschiede gegenüber Kontrolltieren erkennen. Nach zweiwöchiger Gabe von Phosphatidylcholin konnte keine zentralnervöse Interaktion des cholinergen Systems mit den Neurotransmittern Glutamat und GABA nachgewiesen werden.
    Notes: Summary Phosphatidylcholine increases CNS concentrations of acetylcholine. In rats we investigated whether or not phosphatidylcholine also influences the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. In 17 rats 1.5g/kg Lethicon perorally was administered daily for 2 weeks, 15 rats served as controls. In tissue from frontal cortex, striatum, substantia nigra, cerebellar cortex no significant differences between treated and untreated animals were found in glutamate or GABA concentrations. A central nervous interaction between the cholinergic system and the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA, therefore, could not be demonstrated after 2 weeks of phosphatidylcholine intake.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Gesamt- und freies Tryptophan wurde im Plasma von 34 endogen Depressiven, 20 neurotisch Depressiven und 25 gesunden Kontrollpersonen bestimmt. Während beim Gesamttryptophan kein Unterschied zwischen den drei Gruppen festgestellt werden konnte, war das freie Tryptophan bei endogen Depressiven und neurotisch Depressiven signifikant erniedrigt. Zwischen endogen und neurotisch Depressiven fand sich kein Unterschied.
    Notes: Summary The levels of total and free tryptophan were determined in the plasma of 34 endogenous depressives, 20 neurotic depressives and 25 healthy volunteers. Whilst the levels of total tryptophan were not different in the three groups, the level of free tryptophan was reduced in both endogenous and neurotic depressives. No difference could be found between endogenous and neurotic depressives.

    Notes: The acrosome reaction induced by the zona pellucida in mouse sperm has been shown to proceed in two stages experimentally distinguishable by the fluorescent probe chlortetracycline. Entry into the first stage of sperm bound to isolated, structurally intact zonae pellucidae is blocked by the compound 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate. In this study, we show, utilizing the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fluo-3, that the first stage of the zona-induced acrosome reaction is characterized by an increase in intracellular Ca2+, followed by a decrease as the acrosome reaction proceeds. This calcium transient is completely suppressed by 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate. We conclude that the Ca2+ transient is induced by the zona pellucida and is required for the zona-induced acrosome reaction. Blockage of this sperm intracellular Ca2+ transient provides a mechanism for the inhibitory action of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate on the zona-induced acrosome reaction in mouse sperm. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy has been used to isolate and examine the intergranular glass phase in hot-pressed silicon nitride/silicon carbide composites. Previously there have been difficulties in locating a suitable region for studies of this nature because the interfering nitride and carbide grains inhibit isolation of the glass for examination. Radiofrequency plasma etching of thinned sections of 6 wt% Y2O3, 2 wt% A12O3 in Si3N4 containing 30 vol% of SiC proved to be fruitful in isolating the glass phase. A mixture of CF4 and O2 quantitatively remove the acicular nitride phase without any evidence of attack on either the glass or carbide. Composites containing ceria and magnesia as substitutes for yttria behave similarly. This indicates that glasses containing minor to major concentrations of elements forming stable fluorides inhibit the attack of fluoride ions on silica glasses containing these elements.
