    Notes: Summary Eighty-two cases of primary invasive breast carcinoma and adjacent “normal” mammary glands were examined immunohistochemically for tenascin expression and distribution. Formalin-fixed tissues pretreated with actinase were processed by the avidin-biotin complex method using anti-human tenascin monoclonal antibody (RBC1). In normal mammary glands, tenascin was distributed around the ducts and ductules but not around the acini. In carcinomas, a high incidence of tenascin-positive cases (〉67%) was seen with various histological appearances, with the exception of lobular carcinoma where a low incidence was found (25%). Although intense staining was seen around cancerous foci when compared with normal mammary glands, tenascin was often expressed at cancer-mesenchymal junctions with dense fibrotic stroma, but not at junctions with active inflammatory change and a loose fibrotic stroma. Tenascin expression is not an all-or-none marker for mammary malignancy and the staining pattern suggests either a role in stimulating cancer cells or a host defence mechanism accompanied by a desmoplastic response to them.

    Notes: Summary In anesthetized albino rabbits, electric stimulation of vestibular nerve branches innervating semicircular canals produced not only reflex contraction in certain extraocular muscles, but also a transient relaxation in others. From relaxing muscles was recorded a slow muscle potential that reflected depression of spontaneous spike discharges in muscle fibers. When recorded monophasically, spontaneous spikes of muscle fibers were superposed to form a direct current potential, and depression of the spikes resulted in a transient reduction of this direct current potential, i.e., the slow muscle potential. The slow muscle potential was correlated to the postsynaptic inhibition induced in oculomotor neurons through the vestibulo-ocular reflex arc for the following reasons; its latency was compatible with that of the IPSPs recorded from oculomotor neurons; it was removed by severing axons of the inhibitory second-order vestibular neurons; it was blocked by intravenous injection of picrotoxin as were the IPSPs in oculomotor neurons. By recording slow muscle potentials, a specific canal-muscle relationship for the vestibulo-ocular reflex inhibition of oculomotor neurons was shown to be complementary to that obtained for the vestibulo-ocular reflex excitation.

    Notes: Summary In anesthetized albino rabbits, ampullary branches of the vestibular nerve were stimulated electrically. Prominent and stable reflex contraction was induced in extra-ocular muscles by applying single current pulses of relatively long duration, 3–5 msec. Survey with a glass microelectrode revealed that, during application of relatively wide pulses to a canal, primary vestibular fibers discharged impulses repetitively at a rate as high as 300–1400/sec and that after being transmitted across second-order vestibular neurons these impulses built up summated EPSPs in oculomotor neurons, large enough to trigger off motoneuronal discharges. From each semicircular canal, prominent reflex contraction was evoked selectively in two muscles; from the anterior canal in the ipsilateral superior rectus and contralateral inferior oblique; from the horizontal canal in the ipsilateral medial rectus and contralateral lateral rectus; and from the posterior canal in the ipsilateral superior oblique and contralateral inferior rectus. Acute lesion experiments indicated that signals for this excitation reached IIIrd and IVth nuclei via three different pathways; from the anterior canal through the ipsilateral brachium conjunctivum, from the horizontal canal through the ipsilateral fasciculus longitudinalis medialis and from the posterior canal through the contralateral fasciculus longitudinalis medialis.

    Notes: Summary In anesthetized albino rabbits, electric pulse stimulation was applied to ampullary branches of the vestibular nerve. Reflex discharges evoked from a canal in an extraocular muscle were depressed very effectively by conditioning stimulation at a certain other canal. The present systematic survey revealed that this reflex depression occurred specifically in 3 combinations of conditioning and testing canals; 1. anterior and posterior canals of the same side; 2. anterior and posterior canals of the opposite sides; and 3. horizontal canals of the two sides. Occurrence of postsynaptic inhibition in oculomotor neurons, on the other hand, was indicated by appearance of slow muscle potentials in extraocular muscles. It was confirmed that this motoneuronal inhibition did not contribute to the reflex depression in the above combination (1). Even in combinations (2) and (3), the accompanying motoneuronal inhibition was eliminated by adjusting intensities of canal stimuli or by severing its pathway in the medulla, or it was discriminated from the reflex depression by their different latencies and time courses. Hence, it was concluded that the reflex depression was attributable, at least largely, to non-motoneuronal inhibition, presumably postsynaptic inhibition at relay neurons for vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Slow muscle potentials evoked from a canal were also used as testing responses, but their depression could not be detected after conditioning at other canals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 18 Argyrophilzellencarcinome aus insgesamt 101 Frühcarcinomen des Magens wurden lichtmikroskopisch, elektronenmikroskopisch sowie immunhistochemisch mit Antiseren gegen Polypeptide, CEA, Lysozyme und hCG untersucht. 7 dieser Tumoren enthielten Gastrin und 2 unter ihnen außerdem Somatostatin. In allen 18 Tumoren wurde CEA nachgewiesen, 7 von diesen 18 Tumoren zeigten Lysozyme, darunter 5 auch noch Gastrin. In 4 Tumoren wurde hCG beobachtet, und in 2 aus dieser Reihe von 4 fand sich gleichzeitig Gastrin, CEA, Mucin sowie Lysozyme. Argentaffine Zellen wurden in 7 von 18 Tumoren beobachtet. Drei von 7 Gastrin enthaltende Tumoren hatten mehr oder weniger argentaffine Zellen. Elektronmikroskopisch wurden unterschiedliche Sekretgranula beobachtet und 9 von 18 Tumoren waren D1 oder P Zellen ähnlich. Makroskopisch entsprach die Mehrzahl der Tumoren dem IIc oder IIc+III Typ. Histologisch waren von diesen 18 Tumoren 6 gut differenzierte und 12 wenig differenzierte Adenocarcinome, einschließlich Siegelring-zellencarcinomen. Sie waren öfters im Fundusbereich jüngerer Frauen lokalisiert. Unter Heranziehung unserer schon publizierten Untersuchungsbefunde wird vermutet, daß IIc-Typ Argyrophilzellencarcinome mit dem histologischen Bild des wenig differenzierten Adenocarcinoms dem scirrhösen Carcinom zugeordnet werden kann.
    Notes: Summary Eighteen argyrophil cell carcinomas in 101 early gastric carcinomas were examined histologically, ultrastructurally, and immunohistochemically for polypeptides, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), lysozyme, and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Seven of these 18 tumors had gastrin, and two of seven tumors also contained somatostatin. In all of these 18 tumors CEA were demonstrated. Seven had lysozyme and five of seven tumors also contained gastrin; hCG were present in four of 18 tumors and two of four tumors had gastrin, CEA, mucin, and lysozyme simultaneously. Argentaffin cells were found in seven of 18 tumors. Of the above seven tumors containing gastrin, three had argentaffin cells. Ultrastructurally, several types of secretory granules were noted and tumor cells resembling D1-or P cells were present in nine of the 18 tumors. Macroscopically, many of the tumors showed IIc or IIc+III type. Histologically, the 18 tumors consisted of six well differentiated adenocarcinomas and 12 poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas including signet-ring cell carcinoma. These 12 tumors frequently developed in the stomach of young females. In view of our previous investigations, it was suggested that the IIc-type argyrophil cell carcinoma histologically showing poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma may be related to scirrhous carcinoma of the stomach.

    Notes: Abstract Particulate fractions from the heads of Drosophila melanogaster catalyze the conversion of o-aminophenols to phenoxazinones. This particulate enzyme is stimulated by Mn2+. It has a number of features which distinguish it clearly from the Mn2+-dependent activity found in the soluble fraction. The particulate enzyme has a characteristic developmental pattern, showing a marked increase in activity at about the time of onset of xanthommatin synthesis. In addition, it is much reduced in activity in a number of xanthommatin-deficient mutants (v, cn, st, cd, and w). We believe that the head particulate enzyme is involved in xanthommatin biosynthesis and that the developmental onset of synthesis of this pigment is brought about by the synthesis or activation of this enzyme.

    Notes: Abstract Two meiotic genes from natural populations are described. A female meiotic mutation,mei(1)g13, mapped to 17.4 on the X chromosome, causes nondisjunction of all homologs except for the fourth chromosomes. In addition, it reduces recombination by 10% in the homozygotes and causes 18% increased recombination in the heterozygotes. A male meiotic mutation,mei-1223 m144 , is located on the third chromosome. Although this mutation causes nondisjunction of all chromosomes, each chromosome pair exhibits a different nondisjunction frequency. Large variations in the sizes of the premature sperm heads observed in the homozygotes may reflect irregular meiotic pairing and the subsequent abnormal segregation, resulting in aneuploid chromosome complements.
