    Notes: Abstract Grass puffer Fugu niphobles, captured in November 1986 at Shimoda, Japan, and then reared at different temperatures ranging from 10 to 29°C, was examined for microflora changes in the skin, gill and intestines. At 10°C, the skin and gill were colonized mainly by Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Moraxella, while at 29°C Vibrio and Flavobacterium appeared abundantly. The intestinal microflora, consisting of Vibrio, Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium, revealed little temperature dependence, although the intrageneric composition of Vibrio changed conspicuously depending on the change of water temperature. Vibrio group 1, tentatively identified as V. alginolyticus, was detected in all tissues examined at 20 and 29°C. This, along with the fact that V. alginolyticus produces tetrodotoxin, suggests that the tetrodotoxin contained in puffer is, at least partly, accounted for by this bacterial species inhabiting intestines.

    Notes: Abstract: Biphasic electrical field stimulation (0.5–5 Hz, 2 ms, 25 V, 3 min) and high K+ (10–30 mM, 5 min) released endogenous 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) from superfused rat striatal slices. Characteristics of the DOPA release were compared with those of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine, DA). Electrical stimulation at 2 Hz evoked DOPA and DA over similar time courses, α-Methyl-p-tyrosine (0.2 mM) markedly reduced release of DOPA but not of DA. Maximal release (0.3 pmol) of DOPA was obtained at 2 Hz and at 15 mM K+. The impulse-evoked release of DOPA and DA was completely tetrodotoxin (0.3 μM) sensitive and Ca2+ dependent and the 15 mM K+-evoked release was also Ca2+ dependent. On l-[3,5-3H]tyrosine (1 μM) superfusion, high K+ (15 and 60 mM) released DOPA and DA together with concentration-dependent decreases in tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.16.2) activity as indicated by [3H]H2O formation, followed by concentration-dependent increases after DOPA and DA release ended. These findings suggest that striatal DOPA is released by a Ca2+-dependent excitation-secretion coupling process similar to that involved in transmitter release.

    Notes: Summary Localization of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the ventrolateral medulla oblongata of the rat was studied, using antisera directed against GABA molecule fixed to bovine serum albumin. Within the rostral portion of the ventrolateral medulla, GABA-like immunoreactive neurons were found in the lateral wing of the raphe magnus and in the region of the paragigantocellular reticular nucleus. In the caudal portion of the ventrolateral medulla, a lesser number of GABA-stained neurons were found in the region around the nucleus reticularis lateralis. GABA-like immunoreactive punctate structures were also found throughout the ventrolateral medulla. These results provide further evidence for the existence of GABAergic neurons in the ventrolateral medulla oblongata of the rat.

    Notes: Summary Carotid occlusion evoked a pressor response in rats after transection of the spinal cord. Intraventricular pretreatment with 6-hydroxydopamine inhibited the pressor response. The pressor response to occlusion was also diminished by the intraventricular but not by the intravenous injection of guanethidine. Intravenous atropine or mecamylamine, or intraventricular captopril did not affect the pressor response. Thus, it appears that central catecholaminergic mechanisms are involved in the mediation of the pressor response to carotid occlusion.

    Notes: Summary The effects of intrathecal, intracisternal and intravenous injections of yohimbine (10 μg) on hypotensive and bradycardic responses to the alpha agonist guanabenz (10 μg/kg, i.v.) were studied in anesthetized rats. The depressor response to guanabenz was inhibited by intrathecal pretreatment with yohimbine, while this pretreatment did not affect the bradycardic response to guanabenz. Intracisternal pretreatment with yohimbine inhibited both cardiovascular responses to guanabenz, whereas intravenous pretreatment with yohimbine affected neither. Guanabenz (1 μg) decreased blood pressure when injected intrathecally but did not affect it when injected intravenously. These results suggest that in rats spinal alpha adrenoceptors are involved in mediation of the hypotensive action of the alpha agonist guanabenz injected systemically.

    Notes: Summary We localized glutamate-sensitive sites in the ventrolateral medulla of the rat with the spinal cord cut at C1. When unilaterally injected into a circumscribed region of the caudal ventrolateral medulla,l-glutamate (30–300 ng) elicited a dose-dependent increase in arterial pressure. The pressor response was accounted for by an increased release of vasopressin because it was abolished by the intravenous injection of a vasopressin antagonist. Bilateral microinjections of kainic acid (50 ng) into the ventrolateral glutamate-sensitive area markedly reduced a vasopressin-induced pressor response to kainic acid (30 ng), injected bilaterally into the nucleus tractus solitarii. It is concluded that the glutamate-sensitive neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla are involved in mediation of the vasopressin-induced pressor response arising from the nucleus tractus solitarii.

    Notes: Summary The cardiovascular effects of selective alpha1 and alpha2 agonists and antagonists injected into the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) were studied in urethane-anesthetized rats. Methoxamine (0.3–3 μg) injected bilaterally into the NTS caused a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Phenylephrine (6 μg) and an imidazolidine derivative St 587 (3 μg) similarly injected also produced an increase in blood pressure, whereas a-methylnoradrenaline and an azepine derivative B-HT 920 (1 and 3 μg) caused a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. The pressor response to methoxamine (1 μg) was markedly inhibited by prazosin (0.3 pg) injected into the same sites or hexamethionum (25 mg/kg, i. v.). Prazosin (0.3 μg) alone injected bilaterally into the NTS did not affect the blood pressure, while yohimbine (0.1 μg) similarly injected increased the pressure. These results suggest that in the rat NTS there exist alpha1 adrenoceptors responsible for an increase in arterial pressure. The NTS alpha2 adrenoceptors seem to be involved in the tonic regulation of arterial pressure.

    Notes: Summary The complement receptor (CR1) in the maxillary sinus mucosa of normal patients and in cases of chronic sinusitis was studied with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase, avidin-biotin peroxidase and immunofluorescent methods. CR1 was localized on the ciliary surface and in the cytoplasm of the covering epithelium in both normal controls and the cases of chronic sinusitis. CR1 tended to be denser in the mucosa of chronic sinusitis than in normal mucosa. CR1-binding capacity was also studied with the immunofluorescent method, using C3b-conjugated zymosan. Although CR1 did not bind to C3b in vivo, it was found to bind to C3b in the normal maxillary mucosa when it was treated with C3b-conjugated zymosan. CR1-binding capacity could not be detected in the mucosa from cases with chronic sinusitis, indicating that CR1 was already bound to activated C3b in these cases.
