    Notes: Summary The development of the ventricular conducting tissue of the embryonic chicken heart has been studied using a previous finding that morphologically recognizable atrial conducting tissue coexpresses the atrial and the ventricular myosin isoforms. It is found that, by these criteria, at 9 days part of the ventricular conduction system consists of a myocardial ring located around the infundibula of the aorta and truncus pulmonalis. Part of this ring is formed by the retro-aortic root branch. The ring continues via the septal branch into the atrioventricular bundle and its branches, that all express both myosin isoforms. The retroaortic root branch could be traced back as a part of the myocardial wall of the truncus arteriosus at the 4 days embryonic stage. At the 16th day of development, the septal branch, atrioventricular bundle and left and right bundle branches no longer express the atrial isomyosin, but two bundles originating from the septal branch still express both isomyosins, one being the retro-aortic root branch, the other being only immunologically recognizable and directed to the ventral side of the truncus pulmonalis; this latter we call the pulmonary root branch. Both bundles are remnants of the myocardial ring.

    Notes: Three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of atrial and ventricular isomyosins is analysed immunohistochemically during the formation of the tubular chicken heart (stage 7 to 12 [H/H]) using antibodies specific for adult chicken atrial and ventricular myosin heavy chains, respectively. This analysis revealed that both types of isomyosins can be first detected at stage 8 (H/H, possessing four pairs of somites), i.e., when the heart primordium still exists as two separate cardiogenic plates. The ventricular type of isomyosin is initially expressed in those areas of cardiogenic plates in the vicinity of the anterior intestinal portal. The atrial type of isomyosin is initially expressed in zones caudal and lateral to the areas of ventricular isomyosin expression. Medial to the atrial isomyosin-expressing areas, cardiogenic plate areas exist that initially lack myosin expression. Those parts of the cardiogenic plates that fuse in front of the anterior intestinal portal, thereby forming the heart tube, are characterized by the expression of both isomyosins; however, the caudolateral parts of the heart primordium maintain their single atrial isomyosin expression during further development. Cardiac contractions are therefore first observed at stage 10 (H/H, possessing ten pairs of somites) in myocardium that coexpresses both isomyosins.

    Notes: This review gives an inventory of 58 computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction applications in the domain of biomedical research. It is devoted to the formulation of a set of recommendations thought to be necessary for improved performance of software packages in this field. These recommendations can be used to select packages and to guide future developments of existing reconstruction systems.The survey is restricted to three-dimensional reconstructions based upon a series of parallel sections of an object. Subjects treated are programming languages, resolution and sampling, input preparation, realignment, local deformation of slices, numerical quantifications, topological complexity, internal representation, display complexity (hidden surfaces, shading, smoothing), structure extraction, descriptive elements, database, data compression, time efficiency of systems and algorithms, hardware configuration, input devices, input media, interactive aids, display devices, and output devices. Information for this survey comes from articles that appeared between 1965 and 1985.
