    Notes: A recent observation that certain kidney tubular cells, especially those in the normal kidney, were positively stained with the anti-Leu4 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) led us to investigate systematically the reactivity of three different anti-CD3 MoAb with a panel of normal human kidneys. Using immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining techniques, the anti-Leu4 MoAb was found to react with proximal tubular cells in all eight examined kidneys, while no tubular-cells reactivity was observed with the OKT3 or DAKO-T3 MoAb. In each kidney, however, all three antibodies reacted with a similar number of occasionally encountered T cells. The G11 MoAb, which has been reported to react with a calcium receptor-associated molecule, and the anti-Leu4 MoAb showed almost identical patterns of tubular-cell reactivity. The observed co-distribution of Leu4-expressing structures with a putative Ca2+ sensor in the kidney and the fact that binding of anti-Leu4 to T cells induces C2+-mediated signal transduction, warrant further studies on a potential role of Leu4-expressing structures in Ca2+ regulation of proximal tubular cells.

    Notes: New deep seismic reflection data provide images of the crust and uppermost mantle underlying the eastern Middle Urals and adjacent West Siberian Basin. Distinct truncations of reflections delineate the late-orogenic strike-slip Sisert Fault extending vertically to ∼28 km depth, and two gently E-dipping reflection zones, traceable to 15–18 km depth, probably represent normal faults associated with the opening of the West Siberian Basin. A possible remnant Palaeozoic subduction zone in the lower crust under the West Siberian Basin is visible as a gently SW-dipping zone of pronounced reflectivity truncated by the Moho. Continuity of shallow to intermediate-depth reflections suggest that Palaeozoic accreted island-arc terranes and overlying molasse sequences exposed in the hinterland of the Urals form the basement for Triassic and younger deposits in the West Siberian Basin. A highly reflective lower crust overlies a transparent mantle at about 43 km depth along the entire 100 km long seismic reflection section, suggesting that the lower crust and Moho below the eastern Middle Urals and West Siberian Basin have the same origin.

    Notes: In conjunction with airgun profiles on Lake Vänern, 48-channel seismic recordings were made along a 7 km long profile on the northern peninsula, Värmlandsnäs. This peninsula lies in the Mylonite Zone which runs through SW Sweden. Four airgun profiles were recorded, two on the eastern side of the Mylonite Zone and two on the western side, each profile being on the order of 20-30 km long. These profiles have been processed using the method of common data point (CDP) stacking which resulted in a total of approximately 50 km of sub-surface coverage. We have interpreted the data in the context of the regional geology and results from other geophysical studies in the area. Important results are the imaging of lower crustal reflectors and Moho at near-vertical incidence angles. The dips and depths of these reflectors are in fair agreement with other studies. The upper crust on the eastern side of the Mylonite Zone appears to be considerably more reflective. This may be due to the presence of mafic intrusions or to the reworking of the crust during the Sveconorwegian orogeny. A brief comparison with results from the GLIMPCE profiles over the Grenville province is also made.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des anticorps monoclonaux ont été fabriqués avec la technique hybridoma après immunisation des souris avec des cellules parathyroïdes humaines intactes. Trois anticorps du type IgG ont réagi en immunohistochimie et en immunofluorescence avec les cellules épithéliales et tubulaires proximales du rein, mais pas avec la plupart des autres tissus humains. Les glandes parathyroïdes adénomateuses et hyperplasiques des patients hyperparathyroïdiens ont présenté une réactivité immunohistoclinique réduite vis-à-vis des anticorps en comparaison avec la coloration intense du tissu parathyroïde humain normal. En utilisant expérimentalement des cellules parathyroïdiennes dispersées provenant des glandes normales et pathologiques, 2 des anticorps bloquaient les effets du calcium ambiant sur le largage du calcium cytoplasmique et de la parathormone. Cela indique que les anticorps interfèrent avec le mécanisme récepteur, récemment reconnu, des cellules parathyroïdiennes, qui détermine la présence du calcium et qui en contrôle les mouvements de l'ion, et par conséquent joue un rôle dans le relargage de la parathormone. La réduction de l'expression du mécanisme suppose des récepteurs de calcium des cellules parathyroïdiennes anormales pourrait donc être responsable de l'hypercalcémie dans l'hyperparathyroïdisme. Le mécanisme serait une baisse de la sensibilité au calcium extracellulaire provoquant une baisse de la sécrétion de parathormone par les glandes parathyroïdiennes pathologiques. Ces anticorps pourraient améliorer le diagnostic histologique par leur capacité d'identifier et de distinguer entre les tissus parathyroïdes normal et pathologique.
    Abstract: Resumen Anticuerpos monoclonales fueron generados mediante una técnica de hibridoma después de immunizar a ratones con células paratiroideas humanas intactas. Tres anticuerpos del tipo IgG reaccionaron en immunohistoquímica e immunofluorescencia con células paratiroideas epiteliales y con células del túbulo proximal del rinón, pero nó con un gran número de otros tejidos humanos. Las glándulas paratiroides adenomatosas e hiperplásicas de pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo (HPT) mostraron una reducida reactividad immunohistoquímica con los anticuerpos en comparación con la intensa coloración del tejido paratiroideo humano normal. Experimentos con células paratiroideas dispersas provenientes de glándulas normales y patológicas mostraron que 2 de los anticuerpos bloqueaban los efectos del calcio ambiental sobre el calcio citoplásmico y la liberación de hormona paratiroidea. Esto indica que los anticuerpos interfieren con un recientemente descubierto mecanismo receptor de las células paratiroideas involucradas en la percepción del calcio y la regulation de la liberación de hormona paratiroidea. Una expresión reducida del mecanismo receptor putativo de calcio de las células paratiroideas anormales puede ser, por consiguiente, el responsable principal de la hipercalcemia del HPT al causar una disminuida sensibilidad al calcio extracelular en el proceso de la liberación de la hormona por las células paratiroideas patológicas. Estos anticuerpos deben contribuir a mejorar el diagnóstico histológico paratiroideo por su capacidad de identificar y diferenciar el tejido normal del patológico.
    Notes: Abstract Monoclonal antibodies were generated with a hybridoma technique after immunization of mice with intact human parathyroid cells. Three antibodies of the IgG type reacted in immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescense with parathyroid epithelial cells and proximal tubule cells of the kidney but not with a large number of other human tissues. Adenomatous and hyperplastic parathyroid glands of patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT) demonstrated a reduced immunohistochemical reactivity with the antibodies as compared to the intense staining of normal human parathyroid tissue. Experiments with dispersed parathyroid cells from the normal and pathological glands showed that 2 of the antibodies blocked the effects of ambient calcium on cytoplasmic calcium and parathyroid hormone release. This indicates that the antibodies interfere with a newly recognized receptor mechanism of parathyroid cells involved in the sensing and gating of calcium and thereby also in the regulation of parathyroid hormone release. A reduced expression of the putative calcium receptor mechanism of abnormal parathyroid cells may, thus, be principally responsible for the hypercalcemia of HPT by causing a decreased sensitivity to extracellular calcium of the parathyroid hormone release from pathological parathyroid glands. The antibodies should improve the parathyroid histological diagnosis by their ability to identify and to distinguish between normal and abnormal parathyroid tissue.

    Notes: Abstract. Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type I underwent pancreatic surgery at presymptomatic ( n = 8, mean age 33 years) or symptomatic ( n = 12, mean age 51 years) stages of pancreatic endocrine involvement with the principal aim to evaluate postoperative morbidity, survival, and malignant potential of the pancreatic lesion. Radiologic signs of malignancy were not identified in any patient prior to exploration. All patients displayed multiple tumors with generally complex immunoreactivity. Normal postoperative pancreatic tumor markers were recorded in five of the asymptomatic patients, which became abnormal in three of them at a mean of 3 years after surgery. All patients remained without symptoms for a mean of 6 years after operation. In four symptomatic individuals (33%) metastases were identified at exploration, and two died with tumor; 83% of symptomatic patients displayed persistent or recurrent endocrine morbidity from the pancreatic lesion. Recognizing lead time bias, this limited and uncontrolled patient comparison suggests that exploration at the symptomatic stage of pancreatic involvement in MEN-I patients is unsatisfactory. Rather than to obtain biochemical cure, surgery in asymptomatic patients might be regarded as a means of cancer prevention. The malignancy of the pancreatic lesion may be preceded by several decades of biochemical abnormality. Extensive screening for this lesion allows diagnosis during adolescence and the timely application of primary exploration. Active management of individuals with repeated biochemical analyses followed by selective reintervention could enable satisfactorily maintained pancreatic functions and substantial duration of cancer prevention.

    Notes: Summary It has been reported that osteoclastic function is regulated by calcium-induced alterations in cytoplasmic free calcium ([Ca2+]i), possibly through a specific receptor. We have investigated whether osteoclasts, isolated from neonatal rat long bones, possess the divalent cation-receptor that has been demonstrated on parathyroid cells. Studies with fura-2 loaded adherent single cells showed that an increase in extracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]e) from 0.5 mM to 10 mM resulted in an increase in [Ca2+]i in isolated rat osteoclasts, from a basal value of 94.7±16.2 to 150.6±22.4 nM (means±SEM; n=14). The shape and time course of the [Ca2+]i increase varied considerably from cell to cell. Less than half of the cells responded with a rapid transient increase whereas the rest responded with a slow increase that reached a plateau within 1–2 minutes. When [Ca2+]e was changed back to 0.5 mM, a slow decrease in [Ca2+]i was monitored. Immunohistochemical staining with two different monoclonal antibodies, recognizing the putative Ca2+ receptor on parathyroid cells, did not indicate any staining on freshly isolated rat osteoclasts. Thus, our data demonstrate that an increase in [Ca2+]e causes an elevation of [Ca2+]i in osteoclasts. This increase is not mediated via the putative cation-receptor found on parathyroid cells.
