    Notes: Abstract: The effect of pseudorabies virus on neuronal functions was investigated in PC12 cells. During the period investigated, choline acetyltransferase was not affected, while the acetylcholinesterase activity declined steadily starting at 12 h post infection (p.i.), reaching its minimal level of 40% of the control value at 24 h p.i. In contrast, the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, the key enzyme in catecholamine synthesis, increased to 150% of the control level by 15 h p.i., dropping off slowly with the appearance of viral cytopathology. In parallel, the infection induced, by a process independent of the extracellular Ca2+, an increased release of dopamine at 11 h p.i., followed by noradrenaline at 20 h p.i. In the infected cells, the intracellular content of catecholamine was maintained only in the presence of a high amount of catecholamine precursors in the culture medium. Three plaque-forming units per cell was the minimal multiplicity of infection required to obtain the maximal changes in enzyme activities; higher multiplicities induced more rapidly the maximal effects on tyrosine hydroxylase and acetylcholinesterase. Inhibition of DNA synthesis did not prevent the increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity; however, protein synthesis was required. In conclusion, infection of the PC12 cells with pseudorabies virus induced significant changes in catecholaminergic and cholinergic metabolism, indicating the ability of this virus to interfere selectively with specialized neuronal functions.

    Notes: Abstract Neutron-deficient isotopes with Z=21 to 26 have been produced as projectile-like fragments of an intense58Ni GANIL beam of 69 MeV/nucleon. The nuclei selected by the upgraded LISE3 spectrometer were identified and implanted in a silicon detector telescope. The43Cr,47Fe and46Fe isotopes were identified for the first time whereas45Fe,45Mn,44Mn and42V were not observed, indicating probable instability of these nuclei against particle emission. Measurements of the half-lives of43Cr and46Mn have been performed and the analysis of their measured beta-delayed proton spectra has given, through the isobaric multiplet mass equation, an empirical estimation of their masses. Half-lives of44Cr,43V,47Fe and46Fe have also been measured. A discussion of various mass predictions for nuclei at the proton drip-line is given.

    Notes: An immunocytological study of four different parts of the gut of Helix aspersa clearly demonstrates the presence of many cells and fibers immunoreactive toward antibodies directed to vertebrate (α, β-endorphin, α, β-MSH, ACTH 1-24 and ACTH 17-39, met-enkephalin, somatostatin, insulin, glucagon, P.P., serotonin) or invertebrate (FMRF-amide) peptides.These results are evidence of the presence of different substances related to known peptides or amines in the epithelial and connective tissue cells and nerve fibers of the snail gut. Immunocytochemistry may help to elucidate the morpho-functional characteristics of the enteroendocrine cells of H. aspersa.
