    Notes: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the tissue reactions to commercially pure (c.p.) titanium implants placed in free autogenous bone graft by a 1-stage procedure. Eighty c.p. titanium implants were placed in the bone grafted from iliac crest to bilateral mandible of 40 Japanese white rabbits without tapping. Twenty rabbits underwent daily a HBO treatment for 60 min under 2.4 ATA during 20 consecutive days and the other untreated 20 rabbits served as controls. The implants with surrounding bone tissue were retrieved 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after surgery, fixated, dehydrated and embedded in resin. About 20 μm thick ground sections were prepared prior to microscopical observations. The bone area and the bone-to-implant contact inside the threads were calculated separately in the grafted bone and in the host bone for each implant. After 30 and up to 120 days, the HBO treated group showed more bone-to-implant contacts in the grafted bone as compared to the non-HBO treated group. In the host bone there were no differences observed between HBO and non-HBO treated groups. This study indicated that HBO treatment was beneficial for the tissue incorporation of c.p. titanium implants when placed immediately in free autogenous bone grafts.

    Notes: Summary Incorporation of microinjected biotin-labelled actin into nascent myofibrils of cultured cardiac muscle cells was investigated by immunogold electron microscopy. At the proximal parts of myofibrils, gold labelling was first found (at about 4 min after injection) around the A-band level. This observation suggests that polymerization of actin or the addition of newly-formed actin filaments occurs preferentially in association with myosin filaments to increase the myofibrillar girth. The distal terminals of developing myofibrils were also labelled at about 4 min after injection. This rapid incorporation of actin subunits at the myofibrillar ends suggests the continued reorganization and/or de novo formation of myofibrils at these positions. Along the extending direction of the myofibrillar terminals, gold particles were arranged in rows on the inner surface of the sarcolemma. These rows of particles continued to become longer with incubation. It appears that actin subunits are added at the membrane-associated ends of pre-existing actin filaments to increase the length of myofibrils.

    Notes: To elucidate the development of bone metastasis in human neuroblastoma, bone marrow and bone metastases were analysed histologically in a hematogeneous metastasis model of murine neuroblastoma. The bone marrow metastasis occurred initially in the bone marrow sinusoid where tumor cells adhered and extravasated to bone marrow parenchyma, resulting in the formation of nodular lesions in the medullary cavity. The nodular lesions eventually progressed to diffuse lesions segmentally occupying the medullary cavity. During the establishment of the diffuse lesions, tumor cells invaded cancellous bone and/or bone cortex, resulting in bone metastasis. Such nodular or diffuse bone marrow metastatic lesions occurred sporadically in a variety of bones. To improve the results of treatment for neuroblastoma, the characteristics of the bone marrow and the bone metastases demonstrated in this study should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
