    Notes: Summary We studied thrombin-induced metabolism of phosphoinositide, protein phosphorylation and platelet aggregation in platelets from 32 NIDDM patients and 12 control subjects. To clarify the effect of diet, sulphonylureas, or insulin treatment, the subjects were divided into three groups based on the type of treatment. Thrombin-induced platelet aggregation was measured with an aggregometer. Low-dose thrombin (0.25 U/ml)-stimulated platelet aggregation in diabetic patients was significantly increased compared with the control subjects. Platelet aggregation in the sulphonylurea and insulin groups was significantly lower than in the diet group. On the other hand, in platelets incubated with [32P]orthophosphate, thrombin-induced incorporation of 32P radioactivity into phosphatidic acid (PA) was significantly lower in the sulphonylurea and insulin groups than in the diet group. Thrombin-induced incorporation of [32P] radioactivity into phosphatidylinositol (PIP) for 10 s was significantly higher in the sulphonylurea group than in the diet group. There were no differences in thrombin-induced 47 kDa protein phosphorylation between platelets from the diet, sulphonylurea, or insulin groups. These results suggest that sulphonylureas and insulin induce suppression of thrombin-induced activation of phospholipase C, which mediates hydrolysis of PIP and PIP2 and production of PA, which leads to inhibition of platelet aggregation.

    Notes: Summary Eleven gliomas were serially cultivated and examined for DNA distribution by flow cytometry and simultaneously for morphological features by light microscopy at the various passage levels until passage 50 at most. Seven gliomas (four low-grade gliomas, three anaplastic gliomas) showed a similar DNA distribution pattern with a main diploid and small tetraploid peaks at various passages. In this group, only one culture formed a permanent cell line, whereas six cultures showed a limited growth ranging from 6 to 24 passages. In contrast, the other four gliomas (each an anaplastic glioma) showed a marked change of DNA distribution through passages and finally a single DNA aneuploid population prospered. Each of these four gliomas yielded established cell lines. Thus, it is suggested that the change of DNA ploidy and prosperity of DNA aneuploid populations in flow cytometry might be used as early and reliable indices for the later establishment of glioma-derived permanent cell lines. Since the changes of DNA distribution are frequently associated with the morphological changes, as seen in the latter group, careful tracing of morphological features is valuable in determining of the fate of cultures, especially in the absence of a flow cytometer. The correlation between the potential to become established cell lines and histology of the original gliomas is also discussed.

    Notes: Summary We studied five cases of central nervous system neuronal tumor, one gangliocytoma and four gangliogliomas, both ultrastructurally and immuno-histochemically, using antibodies to neuroendocrine markers including tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), serotonin (5HT), somatostatin (SOM), met-enkephalin (MEK), leu-enkephalin (LEK), substance P (SP), gastrin, vasopressin, oxytocin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, adrenocorticotropic hormone and calcitonin. In all cases, the presence of dense-core vesicles (60–250 nm) in the neuronal elements was the characteristic ultrastructural finding. Synapses were observed in two cases. Immunohistochemically, variable numbers of neuronal cells showed positive staining for SOM in five cases, TH, MEK and LEK in three cases, and 5HT and SP in one case each. The others were negative. Positive immunoreactivity for multiple markers was shown in all cases. SOM, TH, 5HT and SP were present in the small- to medium-sized cells, while MEK and LEK were almost exclusively confined to the large cells. Our study clearly indicated that these tumors contained neuronal cells which were not homogeneous with regard to neuroendocrine markers.

    Notes: Summary The origins of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive (CGRPI) fibers in the cochlea were examined in rats. Parasagittal transection of the brain just medial to the principal sensory trigeminal nucleus resulted in the ipsilateral disappearance of CGRPI fibers in the cochlea, indicating that the origins of these fibers lie in the central nervous system. Next, we used a highly sensitive method combining retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry to identify the origins of the CGRPI fibers in the cochlea. After injection of biotin-wheat germ agglutinin (b-WGA) into the cochlea, CGRPI neurons in the ipsilateral lateral superior olivary nucleus also contained b-WGA granules. These findings indicated tht CGRPI efferent fibers are major components of the olivocochlear bundle.

    Notes: Abstract A 14-year-old boy had persistent haematuria along with complete C7 deficiency. No significant changes in glomeruli and tubules were found in a renal biopsy specimen by light microscopy and immunofluorescence gave negative results for immune deposits. Electron microscopic examination demonstrated an attenuation of the glomerular capillary basement membrane without lamination and a diagnosis of thin basement membrane disease was made. It would be difficult to conclude that patients with C7 deficiency were predisposed to develop glomerulonephritis caused by immunologic aberrations. A family study failed to provide evidence of an association of C7 deficiency and thin basement membrane disease.

    Notes: Summary The purpose of this study was to characterize regional blood flow (BF) in untreated cerebral gliomas (CG) using stable Xe-enhanced computed tomography (XeCT). XeCT of 38 patients with untreated CG were analyzed and compared with CT and magnetic resonance images (MRI) and histopathological findings. Individual averaged BF values for tumour in 29 high grade gliomas (HGGs) and 9 low grade gliomas (LGGs) were intermediate between averaged BF values for cortex and white matter in the non-tumour bearing hemisphere. All averaged BF values for cyst and central necrosis were very low. In 27 HGGs, BF in tumour was relatively high in ring-enhancement lesions on CT and MRI, but was low even in viable tumour centers showing no contrast enhancement. In the other 2 HGGs, BF was low in tumour center and relatively high in tumour periphery regardless of homogeneous enhancement. In 5 HGGs, averaged BF value of the cortex outside surrounding oedema was higher than that of cortex in the non-tumour bearing hemisphere. In LGGs, BF distribution in tumour was homogeneously low in 3 small-sized and heterogeneous in 6 large-sized lesions including moderately high and low BF regions. These differences in BF pattern between HGGs and LGGs on XeCT might be helpful in considering to some extent the histopathology of untreated cerebral glioma pre-operatively.
