    Notes: Abstract The present study was undertaken to obtain morphologic data about the posterior column of the spinal cord to characterize ascending myelinated axons of primary sensory neurons of the sciatic nerve. By applying doxorubicin to the right sciatic nerve in eight male Wistar rats, selective degeneration of centrally directed axons of these neurons in the posterior column was produced. Epon-embedded transverse sections of the posterior column at spinal cord segments C1, C3, C8, T6, L3 and L5 showed a circumscribed area (R) that contained a cluster of degenerated myelinated fibers. To characterize area R, its size and distances between various defined points on transverse sections of the posterior column were measured and compared at several spinal segments. The location of area R was illustrated in representative rats. The posterior intermediate septum corresponded to the lateral border of area R at C8 and T6. To characterize the putatively degenerating and degenerated myelinated fibers, area L in the left posterior column, corresponding to area R, was defined, and subsequently the number and size distribution of normal-appearing myelinated fibers in areas R and L were evaluated at C3, T6 and L3 in four rats. After comparative evaluation of these data, it was concluded that large myelinated fibers degenerated preferentially in area R. The number of putatively degenerating and degenerated myelinated fibers in area R at segments C3 and T6 was estimated to be 38.6% and 50.1%, respectively, of that at segment L3.

    Notes: Abstract. The immunocytochemical localization of cathepsin E, a non-lysosomal aspartic proteinase, was investigated in rat osteoclasts using the monospecific antibody to this protein. At the light-microscopic level, the preferential immunoreactivity for cathepsin E was found at high levels in active osteoclasts in the physiological bone modeling process. Neighboring osteoblastic cells were devoid of its immunoreactivity. At the electron-microscopic level, cathepsin E was exclusively confined to the apical plasma membrane at the ruffled border of active osteoclasts and the eroded bone surface. Cathepsin E was also concentrated in some endocytotic vacuoles of various sizes in the vicinity of the ruffled border membrane, some of which appeared to be secondary lysosomes containing the phagocytosed materials. These results strongly suggest that this enzyme is involved both in the extracellular degradation of the bone organic matrix and in the intracellular breakdown of the ingested substances in osteoclasts.

    Description / Table of Contents: Um die Grundzüge der Wachstumsreaktion bei der kationischen Polymerisation aufzuklären, wird eine Übersicht der Untersuchungen über die Wirkung einer β-Methylgruppe auf die Reaktivität von Vinyläthern und Styrolen gegeben. Obwohl die Elektronendichte an einem β-Kohlenstoff durch eine β-Methylsubstitution erniedrigt wird, erhöht sich die Reaktivität von Vinyläthern durch die β-Methylgruppe. Es wird daher angenommen, daß im Übergangszustand der Wachstumsreaktion von Vinyläthern eine wachsende Kette mit den π-Elektronen des α-Kohlenstoffs und des Äthersauerstoffs und zusätzlich noch mit dem β-Kohlenstoff in Wechselwirkung tritt. Es ist berichtet worden, daß im unpolaren Lösungsmittel cis-Propenyläther mehrfach so reaktiv sind wie trans-Propenyläther. In einem polaren Lösungsmittel weisen jedoch cis- und trans-Propenyläther fast die gleiche Reaktivität auf, und bei Isopropyl- und tert-Butylpropenyläther, die eine große Alkoxylgruppe besitzen, zeigt sich, daß das trans-Isomere reaktiver ist als das cis-Isomere. Diese Erscheinungen lassen sich mit dem Modell des Übergangszustands, wie oben vorgeschlagen, erklären.
    Notes: To elucidate the feature of the propagation reaction in cationic polymerization, the studies on the effect of a β-methyl group on the reactivity of vinyl ethers and styrenes are summarized. Although the electron density on a β-carbon is decreased by β-methyl substitution, the β-methyl group increases the reactivity of vinyl ethers. Therefore, in the transition state of the propagation reaction of vinyl ethers, it is estimated that a propagating chain interacts with π-electrons of the α-carbon and ethereal oxygen in addition to the β-carbon. Cis-propenyl ethers have been reported to be several times as reactive as trans-propenyl ethers in a non-polar solvent. However, in a polar solvent, cis- and trans-propenyl ethers show nearly the same reactivity, and with isopropyl and tert-butyl propenyl ethers having a bulky alkoxyl group, the trans-isomer is found to be more reactive than the cis-isomer. These phenomena are interpreted by the transition state model proposed above.
