    Notes: Summary A case of an unusual congenital intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord is reported. A paraplegic 11-day-old boy with hypotonia and atrophy of the abdominal and lower-extremity muscles showed a complete myelographic block between T-5 and T-8. Surgical exploration disclosed an elongated tumor mass within the spinal cord, that blended with the surrounding nervous-system tissue. Light and electron microscopy showed that the tumor was composed of intermingled well differentiated astrocytes and fibroblasts. These two cell types often were surrounded by the same basal lamina. There were no intercellular junctions. Gliofibrils were abundant, and the interstitial spaces contained abundant collagen and reticulin fibers There were no histological signs of malignancy. We conclude that this is a case of prenatally arising gliofibroma.

    Notes: Summary The teratogenic effect of insulin in early vertebrate embryos is controversial and the mechanisms involved are unknown. We studied the effects of pharmacological doses of insulin in chick embryos during the period of differentiation. We compared the effects of insulin with two proinsulins, desoctapeptide-insulin and multiplication-stimulating activity, peptides that have little insulin-like metabolic activity while they have significant growth effects. Chick embryos at 46 h of development were injected with the different peptides. At 96 h the mortality and abnormal growth elicited by the peptides were dose-dependent. Considering the indices of lethality (LD50) and affected embryos (ED50) as 100% for insulin, proinsulin was 59–66% as potent as insulin, desoctapeptide-insulin 2–6% and multiplication-stimulating activity 176–204%. In the surviving embryos, insulin (5 μg, decreased DNA, RNA and protein content by 49%, 40% and 48% respectively compared with controls. The effects of insulin were not corrected by simultaneous glucose injections. These data suggest that insulin, at pharmacological doses, interferes with embryo development through a non-metabolic pathway, probably via a growth-type receptor.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of large neurons in the cochlear nerve root of albino rat has been studied with a variety of techniques including Nissl and cell-myelin staining, Golgi impregnation, horseradish peroxidase back-filling of severed axons, transmission electron microscopy, and morphometry. The cells, called root neurons, resemble the globular cells of the ventral cochlear nucleus in having an oval cell body, an eccentric nucleus, an axon that projects centrally via the trapezoid body, and in receiving many primary-like axosomatic boutons. The root neurons, however, are larger than globular cells, and they have at least two types of dendrites oriented, respectively, parallel and across the cochlear nerve fibres. The soma, moreover, has less finely dispersed Nissl material, is less completely covered with terminals, and receives a smaller proportion of presumably inhibitory synapses. So far, this particular type of neuron has been observed only in rat and mouse.
