    Notes: Summary Thirty human insulinomas have been investigated histologically and their immunoreactive insulin (IRI) content estimated. In most cases immunohistological and ultrastructural studies were also performed and the percentage of proinsulin-like components (PLC) in the tumour determined. Except for 1 case the IRI concentration in the tumours was lower (0.01–89.0 U/g) than in the islet tissue. Histologically, immunohistologically and ultrastructurally a variable number of tumour cells contained few and often no beta-granules, indicating a decreased storage capacity for insulin. This defective storage capacity seems to be the major functional abnormality of insulinoma cells. Ultrastructurally four types of insulinoma can be distinguished. The ultra-structural diagnosis of an insulinoma can only be made in type I (typical beta-granules, 13 cases) and type II (typical and atypical granules, 7 cases) but not in type III (atypical granules only, 4 cases) and type IV (virtually agranular, 4 cases). The type IV tumours had the lowest IRI concentration and did not respond to diazoxide treatment. The IRI concentration of the uninvolved pancreas of 19 patients was 2.0±0.2 U/g and in the range of non-diabetic adults. — The percentage PLC in 19 insulinomas was higher (5.3–22%) than in the pancreas of human adults with and without insulinoma (1.7–4.8%). The percentage of PLC in the serum of patients with insulinoma was always higher than in their tumours (33–61%). It is suggested that the higher PLC levels found in the tumour and serum of insulinoma patients are the consequence of the reduced storage capacity of the tumour cells resulting in a rapid passage through the granular route or even a non-granular release of newly synthesized insulin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 17 Patienten mit Ulcus duodeni wurde der Einfluß der selektiven proximalen Vagotomie (SpV), in 12 Fällen kombiniert mit Pyloroplastik, auf die basale und postprandiale Gastrinfreisetzung untersucht. Dabei ergab sich ein Anstieg der Nüchterngastrinspiegel bei allen Patienten nach SpV. Dieser Anstieg des basalen Gastrinwertes war bei Patienten mit negativem postoperativem Insulintest höher als bei insulin-positiven Fällen. Die nach Hollander-Kriterien negativen, aber nach verschärften Kriterien (keine Säure basalund nach Insulinstimulation) positiven Fälle verhalten sich wie Hollander-positive Patienten hinsichtlich basalem pH und basalem Gastrinwert. Der integrierte Gastrinoutput (IGO) während 2 Std nach Testmahlzeit liegt nach SpV im Mittelwert höher, ist jedoch infolge einer zu kleinen Fallzahl weder in der Gruppe mit noch in der Gruppe ohne Pyloroplastik signifikant vom präoperativen IGO unterschieden. Der postprandiale Serumgastrinanstieg unterscheidet sich bei den Patienten mit und ohne Pyloroplastik nicht signifikant. Nach Zusammenfassung beider Gruppen ergibt sich für die 17 Patienten, daß die SpV zu einem signifikant höheren postprandialen IGO führt.
    Notes: Summary The effect of selective proximal vagotomy (SpV) with (12 cases) and without (5 cases) pyloroplasty upon basal and food stimulated serum immunoreactive gastrin (IRG) was studied in duodenal ulcer patients. Following SpV, fasting serum IRG increased in all subjects; the increase was more pronounced in subjects whose postoperative insulin tests were negative. Postoperatively, the mean integrated IRG output over 2 hrs in response to a meal was significantly higher than the preoperative mean value in the 17 patients. Pyloroplasty had no effect upon the IRG response following a test meal.

    Notes: Summary The effect of feeding on serum and antral immunoreactive gastrin (IRG) concentrations and on the ultrastructural appearance of antral G-cell granules has been examined. Serum and tissue IRG concentrations were dependent upon the length of time (12 or 48 h) the rats had been fasted before receiving food; IRG release was biphasic; the first peak was more pronounced in rats fasted 12h. Antral tissue IRG content increased significantly postprandially. An initial depletion of antral IRG was seen in rats fasted 48 h. Examination of the subcellular distribution of antral IRG revealed more of the 5–15 min postprandal total IRG in the cytoplasm and less in the secretory granules. Ultrastructurally, G-cells from fasting rats contained mainly electron-dense granules. Five minutes postprandially numerous electron-lucent granules were observed. More electron dense granules were apparent 60 and 120 min postprandially. Fasting rats had the highest G-cell granule density index; a significantly lower index was observed 5 min postprandially. Indices at 60 and 120 min postprandially increased but were still lower than the fasting index. These studies indicate that gastrin biosynthesis is necessary for food stimulated gastrin release and that the electron density of the G-cells' granules is not an accurate reflection of the G-cell gastrin content.
