    Notes: Summary Using lanthanum nitrate as a tracer, the permeability of rat cortical blood vessels was investigated during regional hypothermia of the cerebral cortex by electron microscopy. The concentration of K+ ions in the extracellular space of the cortex was determined using an ion-selective micro-electrode. Only at temperatures below about 7°C was an extravasation of tracer observed in a number of cortical capillaries and arterioles, where some of the tight junctions became widened and permeable. In a few cases penetration of the tracer into vacuoles of phagocytosing pericytes or macrophages was found. The extravasation of the tracer could mainly be observed in vessels on and below the cortical surface, less often in deeper cortical parts. At the same degree of hypothermia, the K+ concentration in the extracellular space increased, reaching a maximal value of ca. 6 mmol/l at a depth of about 200 μm. As could be shown in one previous experiment, the K+ concentration reached normal values again after rewarming to 37°C for 15 min, but an extravasation of the tracer was still observed. The role of the endothelial tight junctions and of the astrocytes together with the pericytes (or macrophages) is discussed regarding their importance for the effectiveness of the blood-brain barrier system.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les ligaments croisés du genou ont été réséqués avec leurs insertions osseuses au cours d'arthroplasties totales du genou réalisées sur douze sujets atteints de graves lésions d'arthrose ou de polyarthrite rhumatoïde. Les ligaments ont été étudiés sur le plan histologique et biomécanique, et dix spécimens provenant d'adultes sains ont été utilisés comme contrôle. On a mis en évidence des différences significatives de la résistance et des propriétés visco-élastiques des ligaments entre ceux des patients arthrosiques et les autres. Les ligaments des genoux rhumatoïdes présentaient une résistance nettement plus faible comparativement à ceux des genoux arthrosiques. L'arthroplastie totale du genou qui remplace également la fonction ligamentaire, peut donc être efficace dans les genoux rhumatoïdes, grandement endommagés.
    Notes: Summary The cruciate ligaments were resected with their bony insertions during total knee arthroplasty carried out in 12 patients with severe rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. The ligaments were examined histologically and biomechanically, using ten specimens from healthy adults as a control. A significant difference was found in the tensile stiffness and viscoelastic properties of the ligaments between the arthritic and the control group. The ligaments in the rheumatoid knees had a distinctly inferior tensile strength compared with the osteoarthritic knees. Total knee replacement, which also replaces ligament function, should therefore be considered in severely damaged rheumatoid knees.

    Notes: Abstract A fosfomycin disk (200 µg) placed on blood agar was used to select diphtheroids from clinical specimens. AllCorynebacterium type strains tested, representing ten different groups of diphtheroids, and 150 toxigenic strains ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae from different outbreaks, overgrew the fosfomycin disk, while other aerobic gram-positive rods had a large inhibition zone. The method increased the rate of isolation of diphtheroids in 1267 clinical specimens fivefold, from 1.4 % to 7.6 %, especially when the diphtheroids were found concomitantly with other bacteria. Overgrowth of the disk by other microorganisms occurred in 11 % of the samples tested, but such microorganisms could easily be distinguished by culture morphology or Gram stain. Fosfomycin disks provide a simple, highly sensitive but not very specific aid for isolation ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae and diphtheroids from clinical specimens.

    Notes: Abstract The adsorption of N-ethylpyrrolidone (NEP), oligomeric and polymeric vinylpyrrolidone (OVP, PVP) on silica (Aerosil 200) from CHCl3 solution is investigated by IR spectrometry. The influence of the annealing temperature of the silica on the adsorbed amount and on the fraction of adhered segments was studied. The dependences of the amount adsorbed on solution concentration result for NEP in a Langmuir isotherm for OVP and PVP in high affinity isotherms. The fraction of adhered H-bridged carbonyl groups determined by compensation procedures, the fraction of surface SiOH groups occupied and the multiple interaction quotientQ show different dependences on the amount adsorbed for the measured adsorptives, indicating different interactions of the monomeric segments with the surface groups. This behaviour is explained by comparing the amount adsorbed in saturation with monolayer capacities, surface concentration of SiOH groups and frequency shifts. A splitting of the band of the bound carbonyl groups in a double peak was observed with OVP and PVP, referring to an additional interaction of polymer segments neighboured to specifically bound segments.

    Notes: Abstract Adsorption enthalpies of N-ethylpyrrolidone, oligomeric and polymeric vinylpyrrolidone from CHCl3 solution on silica interfaces (Aerosil 200) have been measured at 25 °C by microcalorimetry. The dependence on surface coverage has been examined using measured adsorption isotherms. Binding enthalpies are calculated with fractions of adhered segments obtained by IR spectrometry and wetting enthalpies received from calorimetry. Fractions of adhered segments are derived from the adsorption enthalpies assuming equal binding enthalpies of monomers and polymer segments and considering desorption enthalpies of the solvent depending on the surface area of the polymer segments. The resulting enthalpies are compared with literature values from other solvents and the incongruity of the fraction of adhered segments obtained by IR, ESR, NMR and microcalorimetry is explained.

    Notes: Summary Specific secretory cells in the hypophyseal pars tuberalis of Djungarian hamsters maintained under different photoperiods were investigated immunocytochemically by means of the colloidal gold technique using antibodies against rat thyrotropin (TSH). Secretory cells of animals kept under long photoperiods (LD16:8) showed positive staining of secretory granules (diameters 90–130 nm), whereas other intracellular structures were free of immunoreactivity. In animals kept under short photoperiods (LD8:16) secretory cells displayed increased numbers of secretory granules, but these organelles were devoid of immunoreactivity. In contrast, immunoreactivity of thyrotropes in the pars distalis did not differ between the two groups of animals investigated. The present results confirm earlier light-microscopical studies that in the pars tuberalis specific secretory cells show TSH-like immunoreactivity; however, they differ in their reactivity pattern from classical thyrotropes in the pars distalis.

    Notes: Summary The transport of protein across the cells of the epididymal epithelium was studied using horseradish peroxidase. Transient vascular perfusion of the epididymis of the rat and golden hamster was achieved by pulsatile retrograde infusion into the testicular artery. Peroxidase was found in the interstitium and in the epithelium, located in vesicles, vacuoles and multivesicular bodies of principal, clear and apical cells. Similar findings were obtained in mice after systemic injection of the tracer. In the rat, discharge to the lumen was confirmed by the appearance of enzyme activity in luminal fluid from the caput epididymidis after local injection. The extent of transport amounted to no more than what has been considered leakage in physiological experiments, and the time-course of appearance complemented that found by electron microscopy. The level of transcytosis after pulsatile administration of peroxidase in vivo, as judged from the occurrence of tracer in the epithelium, was much less than that obtained during constant immersion in vitro. The protein was present in multivesicular bodies of principal cells and in vesicles of clear cells at short times after presentation in vitro, when it could not have arrived by endocytosis from the lumen. This suggests that routing of basal endocytic vesicles to the lysosomal apparatus occurs.

    Notes: Summary Experiments were performed to clarify the debate over the entry of circulating proteins into the epididymal lumen by use of the marker horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Epididymal tubules from the caput epididymidis of the rat were immersed in medium TC 199 containing HRP (3.5 mg/ ml) for 5 min to 3 h at 33° C. Sections were examined for the presence of tracer within the epithelial cells by electron microscopy. From 5 min to 3 h, vesicles containing peroxidase reaction products were found throughout the cytoplasm of the principal cells. Vesicles occurred close to both the basal and apical membranes, and many were found opening into the interstitial space and lumen, depending on the length of incubation. By 5 min labelled vesicles were infrequently found in the apical part of the cells. Reaction product was observed in the epididymal lumen adhering to the microvilli from 30 min of incubation onwards. At all periods of incubation peroxidase was present at the base of the epithelium and between the cells, but it was never found within the tight junctional complexes, and no reaction deposits were found within epithelial cells of tubules incubated in the absence of peroxidase. It is concluded that large molecules leaving the capillaries may enter the epididymal lumen in the caput by means of fluid-phase endocytosis.

    Notes: Summary Certain secretory cells in the hypophysial pars tuberalis of the Djungarian hamster display marked circannual structural alterations. The present investigation deals with the immunohistochemical properties of this cell group. A distinct TSH-like immunoreactivity was found in secretory cells of this type in the pars tuberalis of animals exposed to long photoperiods, whereas under short photoperiods the TSH-like immunoreactivity was nearly absent. In the pars distalis, the number and distribution of TSH-positive cells did not differ significantly between animals maintained under long and under short photoperiods. LH-and FSH-positive cells could not be detected in the pars tuberalis, but they are clearly present in the pars distalis of both groups of hamsters. Our immunocytochemical results suggest that photoperiodic stimuli influence the secretory activity of TSH-like immunoreactive cells in the pars tuberalis. A connection with the neuroendrocrine-thyroid axis is discussed.
