    Notes: Summary The decoupling of bone formation and bone resorption causes an insidious bone loss that is responsible for the negative skeletal balance in the frequent form of low turnover osteoporosis. The reduction of bone formation can hardly be verified by clinical methods. Osteocalcin, a non-collagenous bone protein, has proved to be a useful new indicator of bone formation. To establish its predictable value, plasma levels of osteocalcin were compared to conventional serological data of bone turnover and to histomorphometric parameters of iliac crest trabecular bone. In cases of osteoporosis with normal bone turnover activity (as confirmed by histomorphometry) no differences were observed in any of our laboratory data including osteocalcin. However, there was a significant lower mean serum level of osteocalcin in a group of patients with histomorphometrically proven low turnover osteoporosis in comparison to those with normal bone turnover. Serum levels of osteocalcin below 2.0 ng/ml seem to indicate a low turnover in the individual case of osteoporosis while this is unlikely when serum levels above 6.0 ng/ml are measured (according to our RIA).

    Notes: Summary In new of previous contradictory results, the possible interaction between the loop diuretic furosemide and theophylline was re-evaluated in 12 healthy volunteers with a steady-state plasma theophylline level. Two doses of furosemide 20 mg at a 4 h interval did not influence the steady-state plasma concentration of theophylline despite causing a moderate diuresis. Urinary recovery of theophylline and its metabolites amounted to 106±21% of the dose without furosemide and 96±19% of the dose with furosemide, demonstrating that there was no influence on the enteral absorption of theophylline of the furosemide treatment. After the first dose of furosemide the fractional renal clearance (CLR1) of theophylline (fractional = hourly sampling period) changed in parallel with the urinary flow rate, without a significant difference between treatment with and without furosemide. After the second dose of furosemide, CLR1 was increased in the first hour and then it declined to levels far lower than the control value. This unexpected result could explain the unchanged plasma concentration of theophylline during furosemide treatment.

    Notes: Abstract The potent inhibition of the shikimate pathway enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase by the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) was confirmed for the enzymes extracted from various bacteria, a green alga and higher plants. However, 5 out of 6 species belonging to the genus Pseudomonas were found to have EPSP synthases with a 50- to 100-fold decreased sensitivity to the inhibitor. Correspondingly, growth of these 5 species was not inhibited by 5 mM glyphosate, and the organisms did not excrete shikimate-3-phosphate in the presence of the herbicide.

    Notes: Summary 18 bone-forming tumours and tumour-like lesions were investigated immunocytochemically for the presence of osteonectin. A group of non-bone-forming skeletal tumours (five cartilage-forming tumours, four Ewing sarcomas and five extraskeletal sarcomas) served as controls. The studies showed that osteonectin antibodies react reliably with benign and malignant bone-forming tumours (two cases of fibrous dysplasia, three osteoid osteomas, 13 osteosarcomas). This finding was supported by protein blot studies. Osteonectin is formed by cells which do not yet possess the morphological phenotype of osteoblasts and may be regarded as a “differentiation marker” of the osteoblastic lineage. Only chondroid bone (tissue in which chondrocytes were surrounded by osteoid matrix containing type I and type II collagen) showed a positive reaction. All other primary skeletal tumours and extraskeletal soft tissue tumours were completely negative.

    Notes: Summary As we have demonstrated previously phentolamine stimulates the release of additional insulin from isolated mouse islets and raises plasma insulin levels in the whole rat. This effect was independent of the well known property of phentolamine to block α-adrenoceptors. In experiments on isolated pancreatic islets from mice we now demonstrate that tolazoline and antazoline which are chemically closely related to phentolamine, share its ability to potentiate insulin release. The following results were taken as evidence that this effect does not result from an a-adrenoceptor blocking action of imidazoline compounds. More than 10 times higher concentrations of phentolamine were required to liberate additional insulin from isolated islets than were effective in counteracting the inhibitory effect of clonidine on insulin release. The newly introduced α2-adrenoceptor antagonist BDF 8933, which is an imidazoline derivative, stimulates insulin release as well, while the irreversible α-adrenoceptor blocking agent benextramine of different structure failed to do so, even when being present in concentrations blocking the α2-adrenoceptor-mediated effects of clonidine. Antazoline shared the ability of phentolamine to stimulate insulin release despite having no or only very little α-adrenoceptor blocking activity. When used under our conditions, it almost entirely failed to alleviate the inhibition of insulin release induced by clonidine. We conclude that the response of the islet cells to imidazoline derivatives is not limited to those capable of blocking α-adrenoceptors. On the other hand, α-adrenoceptor blocking agents of different chemical structure fail to induce the release of additional insulin. We take this as evidence that in our experiments the islet cells respond to imidazoline derivatives and not to α-adrenoceptor blockade.

    Notes: Summary As shown previously clonidine reduces glucose-stimulated insulin release and this effect is mediated by inhibitory postsynaptic α2-adrenoceptors. The present experiments demonstrate that clonidine has the additional property to also stimulate insulin release. This became evident when the a2-adrenoceptors of isolated islets were blocked by benextramine, and thus protected from being stimulated by clonidine. In the presence of benextramine, clonidine no longer reduced, but on the contrary enhanced, the release of insulin in response to glucose. In control experiments benextramine by itself failed to affect insulin release from isolated islets. These results show that the imidazoline derivative clonidine shares the property of other imidazoline compounds to enhance the insulin response to glucose. All of these agents may stimulate insulin by binding to “imidazoline-preferring” sites, that clearly differ from α-adrenoceptors.

    Notes: Summary We investigated the effects of phentolamine and another more selective α2-adrenoceptor antagonist, rauwolscine, on insulin release in vivo (in female Wistar-rats) and in vitro (in perfused rat pancreas and in isolated perifused mouse islets). Phentolamine was found to significantly increase glucose-induced insulin release. On the other hand, rauwolscine failed to do so, when applied in a concentration that effectively antagonized the inhibitory effect of clonidine. These results demonstrate that phentolamine is capable of directly stimulating insulin release. This effect is thus not mediated by α-adrenoceptors. For this reason phentolamine is not an appropriate tool to study possible inhibitory effects of the sympathetic nervous system on insulin release. An enhanced insulin response as may be observed in animals and in man in the presence of phentolamine does not furnish evidence for a tonic inhibitory control of the islet cells by the sympathetic nervous system.

    Notes: Abstract Experimental interruption of the root stele of Pisum sativum L. induces in the cortex tissue the development of wound-sieve tubes which bridge the wound and reconnect the vascular stumps. Outside the stele, sieve plates arise from primary pit fields. This origin is confirmed by the distribution of future sieve pores over the original parenchyma cell wall and by remnants of the pitfield cavity in developing sieve plates. Differentiation of wound-sieve elements is similar to that of bundle-sieve elements and includes the chromatolytic disintegration of nuclei as well as the development of typical sieve pores arising from pit-field plasmodesmata. The completion of first woundsieve tubes (indicated by a continuous chain of anilin-blue-positive sieve plates by-passing the wound) was observed 55–62 h after wounding. However, effective translocation, visualized with fluoresceine as a phloem-mobile marker, was not found until 10 h (on average) later. It is suggested that this time delay corresponds to the maturing of the last link within a chain of wound-sieve-tube members. Presumably, enucleate sieve elements with widened pores are a prerequisite for effective phloem translocation.
