    Notes: Summary Monolayers of endothelial, smooth muscle and fibroblastic cells of healthy porcine, bovine or human fetal origin were treated with 10−4 to 10−9 M final concentrations of nicotine. The effect was registered as changes in the synthesis and polimerization of the cytoskeleton. The silver and gold impregnation method produced anisotropy of the synthetic granules and of the final polymers of microtubules and filaments under physiological conditions as revealed by polarization microscopy. Since the orientation of the cells was inhomogenous in the cultures, the organization of the orientation was expressed as the sum of alternative diagonal and orthogonal measuring of anisotropy by a computerized microraster morphometry system joined to an OPTON cytophotometer. The 8-day-old control and treated cultures were also examined by electronmicroscopy. Nicotine stimulated the synthesis and polimerization of the cytoskeletal protein. This phenomenon is evident in smooth muscle cells, and partly also in endothelium. Fibroblasts were not influenced by the doses of nicotine tested.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Chez le rat, des expériences ont montré que, sauf de rares exceptions, les calcifications produites au site d'injection d'acétate de plomb, de chlorure de cérium, chlorure de calcium ou de permanganate de potassium sont complètement prévenues ou fortement inhibées par l'application locale simultanée de provocateurs calciphylactiques, mais non par des agents non provocateurs. Malgré quelques exceptions (attribuées à des interrelations chimiques spécifiques entre certaines des substances utilisées), cette curieuse corrélation entre l'efficacité calciphylactique provocatrice et le pouvoir anticalcergique est, d'après le test χ2, hautement significative (P〈0,001).
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Nach subcutaner Injektion von Bleiacetat, Ceriumchlorid, Calciumchlorid oder Kaliumpermanganat tritt an der Injektionsstelle eine starke Verkalkung auf. Bis auf sehr wenige Ausnahmen kann diese durch gleichzeitige lokale Anwendung von calciphylaktischen Provokatoren verhütet oder weitgehend unterdrückt werden. In dieser Beziehung sind nicht provolatorisch wirkende Stoffe inaktiv. Trotz der wenigen Ausnahmen (die wahrscheinlich auf spezifische, chemische Wechselwirkungen zwischen manchen der untersuchten Substanzen beruhen) ist dieser merkwürdige Zusammenhang zwischen calciphylaktisch provozierender und anticalcergischer Aktivität, nach dem χ2-Test berechnet, statistisch hochsignifikant (P〈0,001).
    Notes: Abstract Experiments on rats indicate that, with very few exceptions, the calcification which occurs at subcutaneous sites of treatment with lead acetate, cerium chloride, calcium chloride or potassium permanganate is completely blocked or severely inhibited by simultaneous topical application of calciphylactic challengers but not of non-challengers. Despite the few exceptions (which are thought to depend upon specific chemical interactions between some of the compounds tested) this singular correlation between calciphylactic challenging and anticalcergic potency, is highly significant by the Chi-square-test (P〈0.001).
