    Notes: Summary Units were recorded extracellulary in the cat brainstem under the effect of tremogenic doses of harmaline. They were localized post mortem and the units discharging at the harmaline tremor frequency were mapped. Harmaline-sensitive neurons were found in the bulbo-pontine reticular formation, in particular, in the lateral reticular nucleus and the nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis. The nucleus interpositus as well as the red nucleus also displayed numerous units discharging at the tremor frequency, indicating that the cerebello-interposito-rubro-spinal system controlling the flexor muscles participate in harmaline tremor. Participation of the oculomotor system in the harmaline-induced tremor was tested at the level of the vestibular neurons relaying the vestibulo-ocular reflex, the motoneurons, the eye muscles and the eye movements. No rhythmic discharge at the tremor frequency nor eye movements could be detected, indicating that harmaline tremor does not affect the oculomotor system.

    Notes: Summary Purkinje cells were recorded extracellularly and mapped in the cerebellar cortex of the rat under tremogenic doses of harmaline. Four différent types of responses were encountered, of which two were considered as being responsible for the harmaline tremor. The latter had a regular firing pattern of complex spikes at 5 to 10 Hz and were mostly found in the vermis. Their number decreased in the more lateral region of the cerebellar cortex until they eventually disappeared. Horseradish peroxidase was injected into all the areas of the cerebellar cortex containing Purkinje cells with harmaline-induced activity. Labeled neurons were in all cases traced to the medial accessory olive. The metabolic activity of the inferior olive under harmaline was measured with 2-deoxyglucose. Increased labeling was only found in the medial accessory olive. Such an increase was demonstrated as being due to a direct effect of the drug on the inferior olivary neurons, indicating that the medial accessory olive is responsible for the harmaline tremor in the rat. Our results point out that, in the rat, there is an inverse relationship between serotoninergic innervation of a region in the inferior olivary nucleus and that with harmaline sensitivity, therefore a serotoninergic mechanism hypothesis for the harmaline tremor needs further investigation.

    Notes: Summary The cerebellar output function was studied using cerebellopetal proprioceptive stimulation hich produces simple and complex excitatory discharges as well as inhibitory activity in the Purkinje cells. The activity of the intracerebellar nuclei (and of the entire brain stem) was measured by the energy consumption as revealed with the [14C]-2-deoxyglucose method. The stimulations consisted of repetitive (1–20 c/s) electrical excitation of the nerve leading to the inferior oblique, to the masseteric and to the gastrocnemius soleus muscle. Compared to a group of non-stimulated controls, heavy bilateral labeling was obtained in the posterior pole of the fastigial nucleus. This was not observed with stimulation of the vibrissal pad which, however, produced a clear increase of [14C]-2-deoxy glucose uptake in the secondary trigeminal complex. Labeling of the posterior part of the fastigial nuclei was suppressed by ablation or pharmacologic inactivation of the overlying cerebellar cortex which suppresses the inhibitory activity of the Purkinje cells into the nuclear cells. Labeling of the posterior fastigial nuclei was also decreased in animals not stimulated but with ablation or pharmacologic inactivation of the overlying cerebellar ortex. The hypothesis proposed is that the marking results are the consequence of an increased activity in the Purkinje cell terminals. The activity of the Purkinje cells was also recorded extracellulary both before and during repetitive stimulation of a muscle nerve. The discharge activity of those in the cerebellar vermis and giving axons to the posterior fastigial nucleus was increased by the stimulation, whereas the activity of those of the hemispheral parts remained unchanged. Units in the fastigial nucleus were also recorded. Their activity was found to be deeply depressed so that only a few units were encountered and no further decrease of their discharge could be detected with the stimulation of a muscle nerve. Nevertheless, using the present data and those previously obtained, the conclusion is advanced that the cerebellar output function is actually decreased during afferent cerebellar stimulation.

    Notes: Summary A case of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia associated with partial erythrocyte PFK deficiency without muscular symptoms is reported: erythrocyte enzyme activity in the propositus was 60% of normal. Kinetic studies of erythrocyte PFK revealed increased sensitivity to ATP inhibition and decreased sensitivity to citrate inhibition. Muscle PFK from the patient had a normal enzymatic activity, but was highly unstable to heat, dilution without stabilizer and urea; furthermore its starch gel electrophoretic mobility was markedly faster than the one of a normal control. The results suggested that a muscle type's subunit was deficient in the erythrocyte PFK. The authors hypothesize that there was no PFK deficiency in the patient's muscle because of the active synthesis of proteins by this tissue. In contrast, the deficiency of PFK would be easily detected in erythrocytes, because of the absence of protein synthesis.

    Notes: Abstract CD16, the type III receptor for IgG, is expressed on neutrophils, natural killer cells, and some T lymphocytes, mast cells, and activated monocytes but not on cells of the B-lymphocyte lineage including plasma cells. It is also produced in a soluble form found in serum. We analyzed sera from 165 multiple-myeloma patients, 29 patients with monoclonal gammopathies of unknown significance, and 20 normal disease-free donors. We found that the level of soluble CD16 was significantly decreased in sera from patients with multiple myeloma compared to sera from healthy and monoclonal gammopathies of unknown significance donors (P=0.0001). In addition, a stage-dependent decrease in soluble CD16 was observed, with a highly significant difference (P=0.004) between stage I and stage II+III myeloma patients. The correlation between the myeloma stage and the serum level of soluble CD16, which is related to the host response, was found to be more sensitive than that of β2-microglobulin, which reflects the tumor burden. The concomitant evaluation of the serum levels of these two markers allows better staging and therefore has a more precise prognostic value.
