    Notes: Abstract This study shows that Radionuclide imaging provides a simple method for detecting vesico-renal reflux in children, when an intravenous dose of 99mTc-D. T. P. A. is used as radioactive tracer. Forty-eight patients have been studied, of these twenty-eight also had intravenous pyelography with post-micturition films, micturating cystography, and cystoscopy. In this group of 28 patients the radionuclide imaging technique detected 25 refluxing ureters and 9 cases of bilateral vesico-renal reflux. Micturating cystography detected 12 refluxing ureters and only 3 cases were bilateral. Cystoscopy revealed 20 abnormal ureteric orifices and 6 patients had bilaterally abnormal orifices. Radionuclide imaging agreed with both the micturating cystograms and cystoscopic findings that reflux was occuring in 6 ureters. Radionuclide imaging agreed with the impression at cystoscopy that reflux was present in 18 ureters. Only 6 of the ureters diagnosed by micturating cystography as having reflux had abnormal ureteric openings at cystoscopy. The intravenous radionuclide imaging technique avoids the unpleasantness of catheterisation and its attendant risk of introducing infection. A lower dose of radiation is received than during radiological techniques. A renogram is obtained as part of the test. We believe this intravenous radionuclide imaging technique is a more “physiologically correct” test for vesico-renal reflux than any of the methods using catheterisation. Its limitations are that it is not so easy to use in hyperactive toddlers, nor does it give the anatomical definition that radiological techniques provide although improvements are expected with the latest gamma cameras and their associated equipment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im basalen Hypothalamus der Wachtel Coturnix wurde ein gut entwickeltes System von ependymalen Gliazellen mit langen Fortsätzen beobachtet. Diese Ependymzellen (Tanycyten, Horstmann, 1954) reichen bis an die Oberfläche des Gehirns. Die Tanycyten der Eminentia mediana und des ventro-lateralen Hypothalamus bilden eine Verbindung zwischen dem III. Ventrikel und dem portalen Hypophysenkreislauf. Die Fortsätze der ventro-lateralen Tanycyten enden in der Region des Sulcus infundibularis an einem lockeren Gefäßnetz, das sich in das primäre Kapillarnetz des portalen Gefäßsystems der Hypophyse fortsetzt. Das subependymale Kapillarnetz der Eminentia mediana verbindet die Gefäßsysteme der kontralateralen Hypothalamushälften. Hier gibt es keine direkten Verbindungen mit dem portalen Gefäßapparat. Aufgrund von licht- und elektronenmikroskopischen Studien wird das Ventrikelependym von Coturnix in eine dorsale „typische“ Region und in zwei „glanduläre“ Regionen (ventrolateral und ventral) gegliedert. Jedes dieser Gebiete zeigt unterschiedliche Tanycytenformen. Einer der beiden „glandulären“ Tanycytentypen (Typ 3), der im Verein mit dem ventrolateralen „glandulären“ Ependym auftritt, hat keinen Kontakt mit dem III. Ventrikel. Ultrastrukturstudien am „glandulären“ Ependym ergaben keine sicheren Unterschiede zwischen kastrierten und mit Oestrogen oder Testosteron behandelten, sowie zwischen geschlechtsreifen und nicht geschlechtsreifen Wachteln. Die Möglichkeit einer neuroendokrinen Funktion des Tanycyten-Gefäß-Systems wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary A well developed system of ependymal glial cells with long basilar processes stretching to the surface of the brain (tanycytes, Horstmann, 1954) has been described in the basal hypothalamus of Coturnix quail. The tanycytes both in the median eminence and the ventro-lateral hypothalamus form a link between the third ventricle and the hypophysial circulation. The processes of the ventro-lateral tanycytes terminate in the region of the infundibular sulcus in apposition to a loose network of vessels which are continuous with the primary plexus of the hypophysial portal system. Within the median eminence, the subependymal capillary network connects the vasculature of the contra-lateral sides of hypothalamus. There are no direct connections with the hypophysial portal vessels. With the aid of the light and electron microscope the ventricular ependyma was divided into a dorsal “typical” region and two “glandular” regions (ventro-lateral and ventral). Each region contains different forms of tanycyte. One of the two forms of tanycyte (designated type 3) associated with the ventro-lateral glandular ependyma has no contact with the third ventricle. Ultrastructural studies on the “glandular” ependyma failed to show any obvious differences between castrated, oestrogen or testosterone implanted, and sexually mature or immature quail. The possibility that the tanycyte-vascular system may have a neuroendocrine role is discussed.

    Notes: Summary With an indirect immunofluorescence technique and an antiserum raised against synthetic LHRH, immunofluorescent granules were observed in fine radially oriented fibres in the palisade layer of the zona externa in both the anterior and the posterior divisions of the median eminence in the greenfinch. There was no specific immunofluorescence in the tractus supraoptico-hypophyseus. It is concluded that the greenfinch median eminence contains material which is similar to mammalian LHRH.

    Notes: Summary An indirect immunofluorescence technique and an anti-chicken LH serum were used to localize cells in the adenohypophyses of drakes at different stages of their breeding cycle, after castration, and after castration combined with thyroxine treatment. Immunofluorescent cells were distributed throughout both lobes of the adenohypophyses from control and experimental birds and were shown to be alcian blue positive, PAS negative, basophiles. Immunofluorescent cells were as numerous in castrated birds as in castrated birds treated with thyroxine. Adjacent thin and semi-thin sections were used to study the cells binding anti-LH serum at light microscope and ultrastructural levels. The cells contained spherical granules with variable densities and diameters ranging between 40 and 280 nm in the rostral (= cephalic) lobe, and between 60 and 260 nm in the caudal lobe. The light microscope and ultrastructural observations showed that the anti-LH serum binds to cells which have been classified by other authors in the Pekin duck, quail and pigeon as TSH producing delta cells. The experimental technique used did not permit a distinction to be made between cells producing FSH and LH.

    Notes: Summary Cells binding anti-bovine TSH β serum were found exclusively in the rostral lobe of the adenohypophysis of the drake using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex unlabelled antibody method. The specificity of the binding of the anti-serum to TSH cells was established by relating the morphology and relative abundance of immunochemically stained cells to the TSH content of the adenohypophysis after experimentally altering the activity of the pituitary-thyroid axis. The TSH activity of the adenohypophysis was assessed indirectly, by the weight of the thyroid glands, and directly, by bioassay. As determined by bioassay, the TSH content of the rostral lobe of the adenohypohysis was much greater than that of the caudal lobe. Compared with control drakes, immunochemically stained cells in birds fed a goitrogen, methimazole, seemed to be enlarged and were closer together, while the stained cells in drakes injected with thyroxine were shrunken and less intensely stained. The TSH content of the adenohypophysis was increased in drakes fed methimazole. Castration did not alter the TSH content of the adenohypophysis or change the morphology of immunochemically stained cells. These observations suggest that in the drake: 1) anti-bovine TSH β serum binds specifically to TSH cells; 2) the TSH cells occur in the rostral and not in the caudal lobe of the adenohypophysis; and 3) the activity of TSH cells is not inhibited by the feedback effects of gonadal steroids.
