    Notes: Summary Platelet aggregation to collagen in 12 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with background retinopathy and 12 Type 1 diabetic patients with proliferative retinopathy was compared with an age- and sex-matched control group. An analogue of prostaglandin H2, 11,9 epoxymethano-prostaglandin H2, which directly stimulates thromboxane receptors, and EP 092, which is a competitive thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, were used to investigate changes at platelet thromboxane receptor level in these groups. The concentration of collagen (EC50) required to give 50% of maximum aggregation did not differ between the two diabetic groups and the control group. However, platelets from the proliferative retinopathy group were significantly more sensitive to the thromboxane mimetic (11,9 epoxymethano-prostaglandin H2) (p 〈 0.005) than the background retinopathy and control groups. This change may be a factor in the development of proliferative retinopathy.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of monensin on the secretion of α-amylase and other enzymes from the aleurone layer of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) was studied by electrophoresis followed by fluorography and by pulse-chase and organelle-isolation experiments. Monensin markedly inhibits the secretion, but not the synthesis, of α-amylase, acid phosphatase, and at least four other proteins from the aleurone layer. Monensin treatment causes α-amylase to accumulate within the protoplast, but its effect on the different α-amylase isoenzymes is not equal. The accumulation of isoenzyme 2 is not influenced by monensin while isoenzymes 1, 3 and 4 are not secreted but rather accumulate in the cell when monensin is included in the incubation medium. The α-amylase and acid-phosphatase activities which accumulate within the aleurone cells following treatment with monensin are localized in an organelle having a buoyant density greater than that of endoplasmic reticulum and less than that of mitochondria. In pulse-chase experiments with [35S]methionine, labelled proteins accumulate in this organelle in the presence of monensin and do not appear in the incubation medium. We conclude that monensin inhibits the secretion of proteins from the barley aleurone layer by influencing their intracellular transport.

    Notes: Abstract Following local reports of failure of glass reinforced plastic (GRP) tanks used for the storage of ammonium orthophosphate fertilizer, the effect of phosphate solutions on the strength retention of E-glass fibre was investigated. Although solutions (1 to 5 mol dm−3) of mineral acids are known to corrode E-glass fibre, phosphoric acid solution (3 mol dm−3; pH 1.55) is essentially inert and strength retention of the glass fibre after 15 days exposure is the same as the water control. However, as the pH is raised strength retention is diminished and a minimum is observed around pH 7 to 8. A chemical explanation of this behaviour is put forward in terms of leaching and complex formation with calcium and magnesium ions. Although not nearly as corrosive as other agents, evidence suggests that phosphate solutions do corrode E-glass fibre and this should be borne in mind when GRP materials are used in such chemical environments.

    Notes: Summary The utility of numerous dyes for determining the viability of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone protoplasts was studied. Protoplasts isolated from the barley aleurone layer synthesize and secrete α-amylase isozymes in response to treatment with gibberellic acid (GA) and Ca2+. These cells also undergo dramatic morphological changes which eventually result in cell death. To monitor the viability of protoplasts during incubation in GA and Ca2+, several types of fluorescent and nonfluorescent dyes were tested. Evans blue and methylene blue were selected as nonfluorescent dyes. Living cells exclude Evans blue, but dead cells and cell debris stain blue. Both living and dead cells take up methylene blue, but living cells reduce the dye to its colorless form whereas dead cells and cell debris stain blue. The relatively low extinction coefficient of these dyes sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish blue-stained cells against a background of blue dye. Several types of fluorescent dyes were tested for their ability to differentially stain dead or living cells. Tinopal CBS-X, for example, stains only dead cells, and its high extinction coefficient allows its ultraviolet fluorescence to be recorded even when preparations are simultaneously illuminated with visible light. To double-stain protoplasts, the most effective stain was a combination of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI). By employing a double-exposure method to record the fluorescence from cells stained with both FDA and PI, dead and living cells could be distinguished on the basis of fluorochromasia.
