    Notes: Abstract The post-mortem diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases can be confounded by the unavailability of suitable material. Here we report the diagnosis of GM1-gangliosidosis in a cross-bred dog, from which only formalin-fixed brain was available, by a combination of electron microscopy and the detection of elevated levels of GM1-ganglioside within the tissue using the novel technique of electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry. Electron microscopic examination of ultrathin sections of resin-embedded tissue revealed cytoplasmic inclusions (membranous cytoplasmic and zebra bodies) in brain stem and cerebellar neurons that were characteristic of a gangliosidosis. Glycolipids were extracted from the fixed tissue and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry. Two major ions were detected, which corresponded to GM1 (d18:1–C18:0) and GM1 (d20:1–C18:0). Their identity was confirmed by comparison of their fragmentation patterns with those of authentic standards. The concentration of GM1 was approximately sixfold higher on a wet weight basis than in the brain of a normal control dog, confirming the diagnosis of GM1-gangliosidosis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Ten minute samples of gastric juice were collected by naso-gastric aspiration during maximal histamine stimulation in 14 subjects (6 normal, 8 with duodenal ulceration). In eight of these studies, a simultaneous intravenous infusion of Indocyanine green (ICG) was used to label the bile. A single intravenous injection of Boots secretin was given during the maximal plateaux, and further samples collected. The volume, titratable acidity, electrolyte concentrations and ICG concentrations were measured. Changes in volume and in electrolyte concentrations after secretin were consistent with the hypothesis that secretin stimulated duodenogastric reflux, and that duodenogastric reflux was the major determinant of spontaneous variations in electrolyte concentrations in gastric aspirate. Duodenogastric reflux was calculated by a previously described formula based on the sodium content of the aspirate, and this was found to correlate well with the concentration of the ICG label in the aspirate.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 10 min-Proben von Magensaft wurden mit Hilfe der nasogastrischen Aspiration während maximaler Histaminstimulation bei 14 Personen gesammelt (6 Normalpersonen, 8 Patienten mit Ulcus duodeni). Bei 8 dieser Untersuchungen wurde eine gleichzeitige Infusion mit Indocyanin Grün (ICG) verwendet, um die Galle zu markieren. Eine intravenöse Einzelinjektion von Boots-Sekretin wurde während der maximalen Plateausekretion gegeben und weitere Proben wurden gesammelt. Volumen, titrierbare Azidität, Elektrolyt- und I.C.G.-Konzentrationen wurden gemessen. Veränderungen im Volumen und in den Elektrolytkonzentrationen nach Sekretin stimmten mit der Hypothese überein, daß Sekretin den duodenogastrischen Reflux stimuliert und daß der duodeno-gastrische Reflux die Hauptdeterminante für spontane Variationen in den Elektrolytkonzentrationen im Magenaspirat ist. Der duodeno-gastrische Reflux wurde mit einer früher beschriebenen Formel berechnet, die auf dem Natriumgehalt des Aspirates basiert. Dies erwies sich als gut korreliert mit der Konzentration des ICG im Aspirat.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the cuticle, fibrillar glands and stäbchen (see Reichensperger 1908) of the arm spines of the brittle star Amphipholis squamata are described. Stäbchen are shown to be cuticular projections into which pass one or more uniciliate cytoplasmic processes. The proximal tips of the cilia protrude into the external environment to a variable extent. Evidence is presented for considering these ciliated endings to be the terminations of sensory neuntes. Stäbchen are, in consequence, presumed to have a receptor function. Groups of Stäbchen are spatially associated with fibrillar gland openings on the sides of spines while the bases of fibrillar gland cells are in contact with axons from the spine nerve which are laden with 45–270 nm diameter, electron-dense, membrane-bounded granules. The possible functional significance of these relationships is discussed in the context of a hypothesis in which fibrillar gland secretions are considered to act as food-catching mucus.
