    Notes: The effect of invariant phases on the intensity profiles of high-order N-beam X-ray diffractions, with N 〉 3, is investigated. Theoretically, the second-order Bethe approximation and the graphic analysis of the structure-factor multiplets involved in the dispersion equation of the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction are employed to reveal the dominant invariant phases in the multiple diffraction processes. It is shown that the phases of the triplets or the quartets are the effective phases which affect the multiply diffracted intensities. Experimentally, the intensity profiles of four-, five-, six- and eight-beam cases provide clear evidence to support the theoretical considerations.

    Notes: Quantum theory is applied to X-ray multiple diffraction. Expressions for three-, four-, five- and general N-beam diffraction intensities are derived using the Green-function technique. The asymmetry effect on the diffraction intensity profiles resulting from the reflection phases is revealed in the derived expressions. A schematic representation of the Green function to simplify the multiple-beam intensity problem is also presented.

    Notes: The effects of polarization on X-ray multiple diffraction are investigated experimentally. Polarized and unpolarized incident beams are used in multiple diffraction experiments for GaAs and Ge crystals. All the three-beam diffractions in a 360° azimuthal rotation of the crystals are analyzed for diffracted intensities and phase determination, based on the article by Chang & Tang [Acta Cryst. (1988), A44, 1065–1072]. Comparison with other proposed models is also given. It is found that the peak intensities of most reflections decrease and the widths at half-maxima increase for the polarized-beam experiments, compared with the unpolarized ones. Moreover, some of the diffraction peaks disappear due to polarization. The values of the triplet phase determined from three-beam diffraction intensities agree well with the theoretical ones, provided that the polarization factors have been taken into account in the analysis procedure.

    Notes: Summary A cytochemical procedure for polysaccharides was carried out on a brain biopsy specimen, the thin-section study of which had shown excess glucogen granules and the corpora amylacea variety of polyglucosan bodies. Both granules and amyloid bodies were stained positively in contrast to the remaining structures of the brain tissue which remained unstained. This demonstrates that β-granules as well as filamentous and amorphous components of amyloid bodies are just different aspects of the polysaccharide molecule. Up to now the same kind of cytochemical evidence has been supplied for Lafora bodies of human material and Lafora-like bodies of rat material. The present study on corpora amylacea of human material shows that amyloid. Lafora, and Lafora-like bodies all behave the same way when stained for polysaccharides.

    Notes: Summary Unlike lymphocytes, blood monocytes possess in their cytoplasm peroxidase-positive (azurophil) granules (ppg) which largely correspond to the homonymous organelles of neutrophil granulocytes. We tested whether ppg, demonstrated cytochemically at the submicroscopic level, could serve as markers of monocyte-derived reactive mononuclear cells in encephalitic lesions. Samples of cerebrocortical tissue from adult albino mice with experimental yellow fever virus encephalitis were incubated in a medium containing diaminobenzidine and H2O2 for localization of peroxidatic activity. Mononuclear cells exhibiting ppg were found (1) in the lumen of brain venules, (2) in different stages of migration through the walls of such vessels, (3) in perivascular areas, (4) in the glioneuropil, either loosely scattered or forming small clusters, (5) in a satellite position to neurons, and (6) in leptomeningitic infiltrates. Several mononuclear elements harboring ppg had assumed an elongated, rod cell-like out-line. Amongst the peroxidase-negative mononuclears were fully developed brain macrophages and elements showing morphologic features characteristic of activated lymphocytes. Most mononuclear cells without ppg resembled the peroxidase-reactive ones. The results of this study provide direct evidence in favor of a monocytic origin of, at least, numerous reactive mononuclear elements in encephalitic lesions. The approach followed in the present study is not suitable for quantitative investigations of the histogenesis of mononuclear cells responding to brain injuries, since emigrated blood monocytes rapidly lose their ppg, particularly, when they display enhanced phagocytic activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Anhäufung von Glykogen in der Großhirnrinde von Goldhamstern und Ratten wurde im Bereich peritraumatischer Astrozytenproliferation histochemisch, elektronenmikroskopisch und biochemisch untersucht. Die elektronenmikroskopischen Befunde ergeben klare Aufschlüsse über zelluläre Lokalisation und morphologische Eigenschaften des Depotkohlenhydrates. Massen von 150–400 Å großen Partikeln lagern im Grundplasma der reaktiven Astrozyten; sie sind nach Behandlung mit Bleihydroxyd (Kontrasterhöhung) deutlich darstellbar. Die Vermehrung dieser Partikel ist bereits nach 24 Std in den perikapillären Fußstücken nachweisbar, breitet sich auf einen Großteil des Cytoplasmas einschließlich der das Neuropil durchsetzenden Fortsätze aus und erreicht nach 1–2 Wochen gewöhnlich ihren Höhepunkt. In mehrere Monate alten Glianarben finden sich filamentfreie Cytoplasmabezirke von astrozytären Faserbildnern, die zahlreiche Polysaccharidpartikel enthalten. Örtliche Beziehungen der Glykogenanhäufungen zum Mitochondrienbest and und zum endoplasmatischen Reticulum lassen sich in den reaktiv veränderten Astrozyten nicht feststellen. Auffällige eigenartige, große Lamellenkörper, in deren Zentrum häufig Glykogengranula konzentriert sind, kommen in den Frühstadien der reaktiven Veränderungen der Astrozyten vor. Diese Lamellenkörper entstehen durch Umformung von Golgizonen. Hirnrindengewebe von Ratten, das umfangreiche peritraumatische astrozytäre Reaktionen aufwies, wurde biochemisch untersucht. Nach Ablauf von 24 Std bis 30 Tagen wurden in diesem Gewebe die Glukose, das freie und gebundene Glykogen, die Milchsäure, die Laktatdehydrogenaseaktrvität, der Gesamtstickstoff und die Proteine bestimmt und mit den Werten des normalen Gewebes verglichen. Als wesentlicher Befund ist ein ansehnlicher Anstieg des gebundenen Glykogens in der alterierten Hirnrinde festzustellen. Der Gehalt an freiem Glykogen bleibt dagegen nahezu unverändert. Als wahrscheinlichste Ursache der Glykogenanhäufung im Perikaryon reaktiver Astrozyten wird eine Störung der metabolischen Beziehung zwischen diesen Gliaelementen und den Nervenzellen in Betracht gezogen. Schädigung und Untergang von Neuronen sowie der nachfolgende Gewebsumbau beeinträchtigen die Funktion der Astrozyten als metabolische Bindeglieder zwischen Nervenzellen und Blutstrombahn. Bei unverminderter Glukosezufuhr wird ein unverwertbarer Teil dieser Substanz in Form von Glykogenoproteiden im Cytoplasma der Astrozyten stark vermehrt abgelagert. Für diese Deutung spricht auch der Anstieg von Laktatwerten bei unveränderter Aktivität der Laktatdehydrogenase in dem Gewebe, das reaktive Makrogliaformen enthält.
    Notes: Summary The accumulation of glycogen in reactive astrocytes in the cerebral cortex of syrian hamsters and rats following a trauma was studied with the electron microscope and with histochemical and biochemical methods. The localization of carbonhydrate deposits within cellular components is achieved by electron microscopic techniques. Discrete particles in the cytoplasm of the reactive astrocytes measuring 150–400 Å show a high contrast by lead hydroxide staining. An increase in the number of these particles can be readily demonstrated after 24 hours in the pericapillary pedicles of the astrocytes. In later stages these particles seem to extend in the cytoplasm of the astrocytes and their processes. The accumulation reaches its highest point after 1 to 2 weeks. Several months later in the old scars the filament-free cytoplasmic areas of the fibrous astrocytes are abundantly loaded with polysaccharide particles. Topographic relations of glycogen accumulations to mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum were not observed in the reactive astrocytes. The appearance of peculiar, large, lamellar bodies in the early reactive astrocytes is very remarkable. In the center of these bodies a concentration of glycogen granules often occurs. These lamellar bodies are produced by a transformation of Golgi-apparatus. In order to study the biochemical correlates an extensive peritraumatic astrocyte reaction was induced in the cerebral cortex of rats. In the course with a range from 24 hours to 30 days, glucose, free and bound glycogen, lactic acid, lactate dehydrogenase activity, total nitrogen as well as protein in the peritraumatic tissue were determined and compared with the values of the normal tissue. As a significant result a considerable increase of bound glycogen takes place in the altered cerebral cortex. On the other hand, the content of free glycogen remains almost unchanged. As a probable cause of the glycogen accumulation in the perikaryon of the reactive astrocytes, a disturbance in the metabolic interrelationship between these glial elements and neurons is taken into consideration. The alterations of neurons impairs the function of the astrocytes as metabolic connecting links between neurons and blood stream. With continued glucose supply an unutilized part of this substance is stored in the cytoplasm in the form of glycogenproteid. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the lactate values increase without changes of the lactate dehydrogenase activity.
