    Notizen: Summary Immunocytological mapping of calcitonin-like molecules (human form) performed in the terrestrial crustacean Orchestia, using PAP procedure on paraffin sections and immunogold method on ultrathin cryosections, reveals two reactive organs: central nervous system and posterior caeca of the midgut. Immunoreactivity within the nervous system is mainly located throughout perikarya and nerve fibers from both deuto- and tritocerebron and ventral nervous chain. Immunolabeling in the posterior caeca is detected on both cell components of the epithelium, with significant quantitative differences between molt and intermolt periods. The role of calcitonin-like substances in these organs is then discussed: at the nervous system level, a neuro transmitter function is suggested; the direct participation of these peptides in the regulation of calcium shifts through the caecal epithelium is hypothesized.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé La conservation du pouvoir infectieux des virus contenus dans les nids de la guêpePolistes hebraeus F. a été testée, à l'aide d'essais biologiques, sur plusieurs des espèces de lépidoptères sur lesquelles s'exerce la prédation. Le développement d'une ou de deux viroses a été obtenu chez chacune des espèces suivantes:Catopsilia thauruma Mabille,Catopsilia florella F.,Callixena versicolora Saalmüller,Polydesma umbricola Boisduval etEagris sabadius Boisduval. L'étude des populations naturelles de ces espèces a permis d'y détecter des viroses similaires excepté chezE. sabadius. Deux de ces lépidoptères:C. thauruma etC. versicolora, ont été identifiés comme étant respectivement à l'origine deBaculovirus et deCypovirus contenu dans deux des nids. Cette identification a fait appel aux résultats des essais en laboratoire ainsi qu'à des données d'ordre écologique recueillies sur le site de collecte des nids concernés. La comparaison des profils de restriction des divers isolats deBaculovirus a permis de valider l'identification deC. thauruma. En raison de données insuffisantes, en particulier sur l'entomofaune associée aux autres sites de collecte des nids, on doit considérer pour l'instant que les autres virus se sont développés chez des hôtes de remplacement. Les nids de guêpes peuvent donc être considérés comme des centres d'accumulation dans lesquels les virus conservent leur pouvoir infectieux. Il résulte de cette étude que les nids de guêpes pourraient être utilisés d'une part pour détecter la présence d'un virus particulier dans un biotope et d'autre part pour rechercher des virus s'attaquand de manière spécifique à certains insectes.
    Notizen: Abstract Bioassays were used to study the infectivity of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses (CPVs), nuclear polyhedrosis viruses (NPVs) and entomopoxviruses (EPVs) contained in 16 nests of the paper waspPolistes hebraues F. in Réunion Island. Several virosis were propagated from 6 nest contents in 5 Lepidoptera:Catopsilia thauruma Saalmüller,Catopsilia florella F.,Callixena versicolora Mabille,Polydesma umbricola Boisduval andEagris sabadius Boisduval. Each of the previous species supported the development of one or two virosis and therefore, wasp nests must be considered as accumulating centres where infectivity of occluded entomoviruses is preserved. The accurate origin of the virosis propagated through bioassays was searched for using ecological investigations on similar natural diseases, REN analysis and a cross-transmission test onSpodoptera mauritia Boisduval. The nuclear polyhedrosis and one cytoplasmic polyhedrosis appearing in bioassays can be assigned respectively to viruses produced byC. thauruma andC. versicolora; the other virosis must be considered as developing in alternate or substitution hosts. Wasp nests could therefore be used to detect the presence of specific viruses in an environment and to collect new virus isolates.

    Notizen: Summary Analytical protocols have been adapted for the study of hydrocarbons at the trace level in the environment. Various samples, including sediments and biota, were collected from the Kuwaiti environment, treated according to the protocol and analyzed by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The methods used were synchronous scanning fluorescence spectroscopy (SSFS); high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on C18 reversed-phase and NH2 normal-phase columns with UV and fluorescence detectors; gas chromatography on fused-silica capillary columns (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID), mass spectrometer (MS) and flame photometric detector (FPD); and high-resolution molecular spectrofluorimetry in Shpol'skii matrix at 10 K (HRSS). The different methods were found to give complementary information. SSFS was useful for fast evaluation and preliminary assessment of oil pollution during extended programs; it permitted sample selection for deeper analyses but, when applied to biota, needed special care in the clean-up procedure. GC/FID, was used to analyze saturated and ethylenic compounds and was useful for obtaining information on the origin of hydrocarbons but inconvenient for analyzing the aromatic fraction. GC/FPD was difficult to use with sediment samples and yielded little information on biota samples, although it did permit confirmation of high oil contamination in some examples. HPLC on a normal-phase column with UV and fluorescence detectors was useful for the fractionation of samples and for the separation of different families of aromatic compounds according to aromatic carbon number. GC/MS was used to quantify polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of less than four cycles but was not sensitive enough for PAHs of higher molecular weight. HRSS, however, was useful for the quantification of heavy PAHs and was also faster, could be automated, and gave accurate results. However, in an oil-pollution study, it must be backed up by the other techniques. In fact, no single analytical technique was found to be sufficient, and only judicious combinations of the tested techniques yielded adequate information on the origin of hydrocarbons in the environment.

    Notizen: Summary This study presents an application of high-resolution low temperature spectrofluorometry (Shpol'skii effect) to quantitative analysis of PAHs in lake sediments, marine intertidal sediments and marine organisms. The main characteristics of the analytical computerized set-up are developed and show the selectivity, the sensitivity and the high speed of the experimental procedure, necessary for routine analysis of hydrocarbon traces. A correlation assay between PAHs distribution in sediments of an Alpine lake and that determined in vehicle exhaust emissions weighted from the accurate representation of the total number of passenger cars in France has been studied. We also present an investigation of concentration profiles and PAHs distributions in intertidal sediments and biota bivalves in the Gulf of Kuwait.

    Notizen: Abstract In order to determine whether growth hormone (GH) exerts a direct effect on osteoblasts, in vitro and in vivo immunocytological studies were carried out on newborn rat calvaria and a clonal osteoblast-like cell line (MC3T3-E1) isolated from newborn mouse calvaria. After exposure to human growth hormone (hGH) or 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in MC3T3-E1 cells. Simultaneous exposure of MC3T3-E1 cells to hGH and 10 nM 1,25(OH)2D3 showed a synergistic effect of the two hormones on this activity. The optimal dose of hGH was 0.1 nM. An immunocytological procedure was performed on ultrathin frozen sections from 7-day-old rat calvaria and MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with hGH. GH-like immunoreactivity was observed in both cases. In calvaria, endogenous GH-like immunoreactivity was localized at the same ultrastructural level (plasma membrane, cytoplasmic and nuclear matrices) as exogenous GH-like immunoreactivity in MC3T3-E1 cells. Following the initial step of binding to the plasma membrane, GH may be internalized in the cytoplasmic matrix and nucleus. In situ hybridization revealed the presence of mRNA coding for GH receptor in calvaria cells. The density of these receptors seemed to be lower in osteoblasts than in hepatocytes. In MC3T3-E1 cells, hGH induced a dose-dependent secretion of insulin-like growth factor 1. In conclusion, these results indicate that GH may act directly on osteoblasts.

    Notizen: Summary Previous studies have shown that somatostatin modulates angiotensin-induced aldosterone secretion by adrenal glomerulosa cells. This effect is mediated through specific receptors which do not show any preference for somatostatin-14 (S14) or the N-extended form somatostatin-28 (S28). The study of the distribution of 125I-Tyr [Tyr0, DTrp8] S14-and 125I-Tyr[Leu8, DTrp22, Tyr25] S28-binding in frozen sections of the rat adrenal by autoradiography indicated that both peptides bind to similar loci. High concentrations of binding sites were observed in the zona glomerulosa, and low concentrations were detected in the medulla. At the ultrastructural level, immunocytochemistry after cryoultramicrotomy revealed endogenous S14-and S28-like immunoreactive material in zona glomerulosa and in medulla. In glomerulosa cells, immunoreactive material was localized at the plasma membrane level, in the cytoplasmic matrix, in the mitochondria, and in the nucleus. S14-and S28-like materials were detected in both epinephrine and norepinephrine-storing cells of the adrenal medulla. In these cells, the distribution of either immunoreactive product was similar; it was observed in cytoplasmic matrix, secretory granules and nucleus, but not at the plasma membrane level. In situ hybridization does not reveal somatostatin mRNA in zona glomerulosa or medulla. These results demonstrate that S14 and S28 bind to, and are taken up by zona glomerulosa and adrenal medullary cells, but are not produced by these cells.

    Notizen: Summary For the first time, immunoreactivity to 1,25(OH)2D3-like molecules and their receptors has been investigated in a calcium transporting epithelium of a crustacean, Orchestia, using vertebrate antisera on ultrathin cryosections of posterior caeca previously fixed in glutaraldehyde, then postfixed in osmium tetroxide. Both immunoreactivities were located mainly in the nuclei of epithelial cells. Quantitative differences in 1,25(OH)2D3-like immunoreactivity were noticed from one stage of the molt cycle to another. These results, together with other data, contribute to evidence that immunoreactive 1,25(OH)2D3-like molecules may be involved in the regulatory processes of calcium metabolism in this terrestrial crustacean and suggest an involvement of these substances in the regulation of calcium movements in the posterior caeca.
