    Notes: Abstract Moebius syndrome (MS) is described in an infant with central hypoventilation and brainstem calcification. The patient had limb defects and bilateral paralysis of the 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, and 12th cranial nerves. Mechanical ventilation was continued from birth because of shallow spontaneous respiration. Computed tomography revealed brainstem atrophy and four small calcifications restricted to the dorsal portion of the pons and medulla. Prenatal brainstem injury such as ischaemia may have caused MS and central hypoventilation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé A partir de l'étude de 546 membres supérieurs (273 cadavres) nous avons trouvé 75 cas (chez 58 cadavres) de chef surnuméraire de muscle biceps brachial (21.3%). Nous en avons étudié la forme, le trajet, la taille et les insertions ainsi que l'organisation des divisions du nerf musculo-cutané. Dans de nombreux cas le chef surnuméraire provient soit de l'humérus où il s'insère entre le m. coraco-brachial et la partie proximale du muscle brachial soit/et du septum intermusculaire médial. Dans quelques cas un chef surnuméraire a été observé à partir du tendon du m. grand pectoral ou du m. deltoïde ou encore de la capsule articulaire, voire du tubercule majeur. II rejoint habituellement le chef commun du m. biceps brachial ou son aponévrose. Parfois la jonction se fait sur l'un ou l'autre des deux corps musculaire. L'étude du n. musculo-cutané montre une anastomose avec le nerf médian dans 43 des 75 membres concernés (57.3%). Cette branche anastomotique va du n. musculo-cutané au nerf médian dans 24 cas et du n. médian au n. musculo-cutané dans 12 cas, elle va dans les deux directions dans 5 cas; dans les 2 cas restant le modèle d'anastomose est variable. Parfois une branche du n. musculo-cutané entoure le chef surnuméraire et fusionne ensuite avec le tronc du nerf. La présence d'un chef surnuméraire semble donc modifier le trajet et les connexions du nerf musculo-cutané.
    Notes: Summary Out of 546 upper limbs (273 cadavers), supernumerary heads of the biceps brachii were found in 75 limbs (13.7%) of 58 cadavers (21.3%). The form, origin, and insertion of the supernumerary heads, and branching pattern of the musculocutaneus nerve were studied. In addition, the dimensions of the heads were measured. In many cases, the supernumerary head arose from the humerus, between the insertion of the coracobrachialis and the upper part of the origin of the brachialis, and/or from the medial intermuscular septum. In a few cases, a supernumerary head arose from the tendon of the pectoralis major or the deltoid, or from the articular capsule, or from the crest of the greater tubercle. The supernumerary heads typically joined the common belly, or the aponeurosis of the biceps brachii. Some heads joined the belly of the long head or that of the short head. In the examination of the branching pattern of the musculocutaneus nerve, communication between the musculocutaneus nerve and the median nerve was found in 43 out of the 75 limbs (57.3%). The communicating branch ran from the musculocutaneus nerve to the median nerve in 24, from the median nerve to the musculocutaneus nerve in 12, in both directions in 5, or in another type of pattern in 2 out of 43 limbs. Sometimes a branch of the musculocutaneus nerve ran around a supernumerary head and then fused with the present trunk. The presence of a supernumerary head seemed to affect the course and branching of the musculocutaneus nerve.

    Notes: To clarify the effects of opioid peptides, and in particular the effects of kappa-receptor agonists on the activity of supraoptic neurons, extracellular recordings were made from 71 spontaneously firing neurons in the rat hypothalamic slice preparation. Of 71 neurons, 28 showed a phasic firing pattern (phasic neurons: putative vasopressin neurons). The mean firing rate of phasic neurons was 2.6 spikes/s (intraburst firing rate 5.4 ± 2.2 spikes/s). The mean firing rate of neurons classified as non-phasic neurons (putative oxytocin neurons) was 4.5 spikes/s. Following bath application of leumorphin (LM) at 10−7 M, which has potent opioid activity at kappa-receptors, 17 (61%) of 28 phasic neurons were inhibited and 22 (51%) of 43 non-phasic neurons were inhibited. Excitation was observed in only one non-phasic neuron. The dose-dependence of the response to LM was tested in five supraoptic neurons. There was an inverse relationship between LM concentration and percent change in firing rate. The threshold concentration of LM was approximately 10−8 M. The relatively selective kappa-receptor antagonist, MR-2266, completely blocked the LM-induced responses. Its effects were long-lasting and only partial recovery was observed 2 h after the application of MR-2266. Dynorphin had similar inhibitory effects on supraoptic neurons to those obtained with LM when tested on the same neurons. In another series of experiments the mu-receptor agonist morphine and the delta-receptor agonist [D-Ala, D-leu]-enkephalin (DADLE) were applied to 28 supraoptic neurons (12 phasic and 16 non-phasic neurons) at 10−7 M and their actions compared directly with that of LM. Only two of 12 phasic neurons tested were inhibited by DADLE and none of five phasic neurons tested was inhibited by morphine, while eight of the 12 neurons tested were inhibited by LM. By contrast the non-phasic neurons tested were inhibited by application of each of the peptides; seven of 16 neurons tested were not only inhibited by LM, but also five of 11 neurons by DADLE and seven of 15 by morphine. The magnitude of the responses varied from cell to cell. These results suggest that LM acts at the same receptors as dynorphin, and that opioids acting preferentially at kappa-receptors inhibit both vasopressin and oxytocin neurons while delta- and mu-receptor agonists inhibit primarily oxytocin neurons.

    Notes: The area of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in the guinea-pig was shown in autoradiographs to contain high affinity binding sites for oxytocin. In order to ascertain whether these sites may represent neuronal receptors, single-cell extracellular recordings were obtained from ventromedial neurons in coronal slices of the hypothalamus of adult guinea-pigs. Oxytocin applied in the nanomolar range excited about half of the neurons tested; none were inhibited. The response to the peptide was reversible and concentration-dependent. It was exerted directly since it persisted under the condition of synaptic isolation. Moreover, the effect was specific since it could be mimicked by a selective oxytocin agonist and since vasopressin was usually at least 10-fold weaker than oxytocin. These findings suggest that the binding sites for oxytocin detected by light microscopic autoradiography in the guinea-pig hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus represent functional receptors.

    Notes: It is not entirely clear whether or not atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) directly inhibits vasopressin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus. Recently, a novel peptide, brain natriuretic peptide (BMP), which has been isolated from the brain, has been shown to have a similar action to ANP on the regulation of vasopressin release. Intracerebroventricular injection of both BNP and ANP inhibits stimulus-evoked increases of plasma vasopressin level. The present study was undertaken: 1) to investigate whether BNP affects the activity of neurons in the region of the anteroventral third ventricle (AV3V) and SON which are involved in the control of body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure regulation, 2) to reassess effects of ANP on SON neurons, and 3) to test whether BNP exerts its effects by mechanisms which are different from those of ANP. Extracellular recordings were made from 213 AV3V and 110 SON spontaneously firing neurons in the rat coronal hypothalamic slice preparation. Of the AV3V neurons tested, BNP inhibited 86 (40%) and excited 2 (1%) while 125 neurons remained unaffected. A dose-response relationship was obtained for 7 AV3V neurons at different BNP concentrations ranging from 10−11 M to 10−6 M; the firing rates of all 7 neurons decreased. The threshold concentration to evoke inhibitory responses was approximately 10−10M in the AV3V. When BNP and ANP were applied to the same neuron, most AV3V neurons which were inhibited by BNP were also inhibited by ANP and the neurons which were unaffected by BNP were also unaffected by ANP. Thus, these two peptides probably have a similar action on AV3V neurons. When BNP and angiotensin II were applied to a group of 60 neurons in the AV3V, most of the responsive neurons showed either inhibitory responses to BNP or excitatory responses to angiotensin II. Both BNP and ANP were applied to a group of 110 SON neurons: BNP (10 −7 M) inhibited 52 (75%) of 69 phasic (putative vasopressin) neurons, while BNP affected none of the 41 non-phasic (putative oxytocin) neurons. By contrast, ANP inhibited only 20 (29%) of 69 phasic neurons tested but it also had no effect on 41 non-phasic neurons tested. Our results are consistent with the suggestion that BNP is involved in the regulation of vasopressin release by acting on SON neurons and AV3V neurons.

    Notes: A 44-year-old man who had suffered for 6 years from multiple myeloma developed multiple papules on the face and chest. Histological examination of these papules revealed the infiltration of predominantly histiocytic cells into the dermis and into parts of the epidermis. These cells were seen on electron-microscopic study to have Langerhans granules in the cytoplasm, which led to a diagnosis of Langerhans-cell histiocytosis concomitant with multiple myeloma. Possible explanations for this unusual association are discussed.
