    Notes: Summary Using liquid ion-exchanger semimicroelectrodes with a side pore, we measured changes of extracellular potassium concentration (Ke +) in adult rabbit and cat gastrocnemius muscles and in venous effluent blood flowing from the cat gastrocnemius muscle during various bouts of activity induced by sciatic nerve stimulation. 1. Isometric tetanic contractions (at 50 Hz) of various durations caused transient accumulation of Ke + which was non-linearly related to the duration of muscle activity. The peak values of Ke + in response to muscle stimulation were analogous in rabbits and cats, attaining values, e.g. after a 20-s isometric tetanus, between 8–9 mEq/lK+ in both species. 2. Potassium concentration in venous effluent blood (K ven + ) was transiently increased after isometric tetani. Since blood flow was measured at the same time, it was possible to calculate the amount of K+ lost by the muscle after tetani of various durations. A 32 g gastrocnemius muscle of the cat, for example, loses 9.36±1.52 μEqK+ after a 20-s isometric tetanus, which corresponds roughly to 0.5% of the total muscle potassium content. The loss of K+ in this muscle was 29.3 pEq K+/impulse/100 g fresh muscle tissue. 3. There was no evident difference between the amount of K+ released during isometric tetani, or tetanic contractions performed under isotonic conditions. Single twitches evoked by indirect stimulation at 1 Hz for several minutes also induced a small rise in K ven + . 4. If the loss of K+ from the muscle into the blood stream is transiently prevented by arterio-venous occlusion installed immediately before a 10-s isometric tetanus, most K+ is released subsequently when blood flow is renewed, if the occlusion lasts for 20–25 s. It is not until blood flow is occluded for 40–60 s that most K+ is apparently resorbed and only a minor portion is released and is to be found in the venous blood. 5. The transient accumulation of muscle extracellular potassium may locally affect nerve endings, skeletal and smooth muscle cells.

    Notes: Summary The contraction properties of the soleus muscle undergoing “compensatory” hypertrophy were studiedin situ in 120–150 g male rats 7 and 85 days after tenotomy of synergistic muscles. The time to peak of isometric twitch contractions in seven-day hypertrophy is somewhat prolonged, while the twitch tension is diminished as compared with control muscles of rats of corresponding weight and age. Maximum twitch tension of muscles hypertrophied by 26% is significantly reduced by 29% when calculated per gram dry muscle weight. Tetanic tension, on the other hand, was 13% higher in the hypertrophied muscles, but still lower when calculated per gram dry muscle weight. Eighty-five days after tenotomy of synergists, when there is still 15% hypertrophy of the soleus, there was a tendency of the various contraction paramaters to become normalized. The newly formed muscle mass during “compensatory” muscle hypertrophy is highly susceptible to the catabolic effects of denervation, or nociceptive stimulation. Superimposition of denervation or reflex atrophy (induced by fracture of metatarsal bones of the paw and turpentine oil injection) upon three-day hypertrophy led to a dramatic loss of weight. After four-day denervation, the soleus lost 42.7% in weight, the plantaris 28.0% and the extensor digitorum longus 24.4%. The corresponding values in the case of reflex atrophy were 26.5%, 25.5% and 17.7% respectively.

    Notes: Summary Modified Walker's liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes were employed for measuring changes of K+ concentration in venous effluent blood from the cat gastrocnemius muscle during and after isometric tetani of various duration induced by indirect stimulation. The time course of these changes was obtained and the overall loss of K+ from a working muscle could thus be estimated. By comparing present results in the venous blood and previous findings of K+ concentration changes in the muscle extracellular space, a concentration gradient was found between the muscle and venous effluent blood.

    Notes: Abstract The author grew CdS single crystals by his own method which is described here in addition to other methods. The material was either prepared by the author or commercial luminescence-pure material was used. The amount of impurities in the commercial material was an order higher than in the author's own material. It was found that the physical properties (e.g. hole density) are worse in large single crystals than in crystals with a mosaic structure. For this reason it is thought that some of the properties are caused by stoichiometric deviations and other by defects in the crystal lattice. In this case impurification plays only a secondary role.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract В работе рассматрива ются причины желтой о краски кристаллов LiF. В согласии с некоторым и другими авторами при ходится к заключению, что окраска вызвана з агрязнениями. Селективная абсорбц ия в инφракрасной обл асти при 2,8 μ. не зависит от окраски. Аналитические данны е дополнены опытами с выращиванием криста ллов, к которым добавлено точно опре деленное количество примесей тяжелых эле ментов, как Со, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Pt, Cu. В литературе приво дится, что желтую окра ску вызывают ионы жел еза и платины. На основе на ших опытов установле но, что из использован ных примесей самую интенсивную ок раску вызывает марга нец. Влияние Си и Pt не яв ляется вполне убедительным. Окраши вающие загрязнения у летучивают из распла ва под критическое значение, необходимо е для окраски, в вакуум е легко, на воздухе лиш ь в течение длительно й выдержки в расплавле нном состоянии (в наше м случае: плавка 1 kg-36 часо в 100°С над точкой плавлен ия). Продувание распла ва сухим газом, наприм ер, азотом, улучшает результат. Т аким способом можно п олучить бесцветный к ристалл без применен ия вакуума, однако, исход ное сырье должно быть достаточно чистым.

Для оп ытов с ростом в вакууме при менялась установка, к онструкция которой о тличалась от описанн ых в литературе.
    Notes: Abstract The paper deals with the causes of the yellow colouring of LiF crystals. In accordance with some other writers the authors arrived at the conclusion that colouring is caused by impurities. Selective absorption in the infra-red region at 2·8 μ is independent of this colouring. Analytical data were supplemented by crystal growing experiments in which defined admixtures of heavy metals, such as Co, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Pt, Cu, were added to the melt. It is shown that, of the admixtures used, the most intense colouring is produced by manganese. Experiments on the effect of Cu and Pt were not entirely conclusive. In vacuum colour-producing impurities evaporate quite easily from the melt until their concentration drops below the critical limit required for colouring; in air this happens only if the charge is left in the melted state for a longer period (in our case a 1 kg charge was kept at 100°C above melting point for 36 hours). Results are improved if a dried gas, for instance nitrogen, is bubbled through the meit. A colourless crystal can be obtained in this manner even without using a vacuum; the starting material, however, must be sufficiently pure. A new method was worked out for preparing the salt by direct precipitation of LiCl and HF. Heavy metals are removed from the lithium component by means of cupral and dithizone. The construction of the apparatus used for the crystal growing experients in vacuum differs from that described in the appropriate literature.
