    Notes: There is wide support for the concept that there are two types of secretory cells in adrenal medulla of various species. One cell is filled with electron dense bodies believed to contain norepinephrine; the other cell's lesser stained bodies contain epinephrine. This differential density may be seen by fixation in osmium tetroxide after glutaraldehyde.The two cell types have not been clearly shown in human tissues. Such a failure may be related to fixation. In consideration of this, fresh human adrenal was fixed in cold 1% glutaraldehyde, then 1% osmium tetroxide  -  a procedure known to give satisfactory differentiation in other species. A parallel study with rat tissue was then done.Electron microscopy revealed two types of cells in rats, while in man an obvious cell difference was not found. There is, however, a clear difference in human chromaffin granule density, which implies that the human cells have random numbers of both light and dark granules. The morphologic difference of the cell types in man may be less distinct than in the rat. Another possibility is that in cells with predominantly dark granules, there are co-mingled lighter granules with the coexistence of cells of opposite dominance. Both hormones then would occur in the same cell in varying proportions according to functional demand. It seems highly unlikely that two distinct cell types would have been overlooked with wide sampling, however, in a study of three adrenal glands, one cannot rule out their existence.

    Notes: Percentage change in water content and total solids was determined for the developing murine brain for both males and females from birth to 120 days.The central nervous system was divided into four components: (1) cerebrum (2) cerebellum (3) brain stem (4) spinal cord. The percentage of water was determined by dessication for groups of five animals at each day from birth to 20 days and then at five-day increments to day 60 and at day 90 and day 120.Plots of the per cent solids (water content) against body weight showed a linear relationship for all parts except the cerebellum. No sex differences were noted. The cerebellum showed an early rapid water loss with a changing rate to a linear curve as the animal matured.Growth data were submitted to asymptotic regression using a computer to fit a curve y = α+βρx when y is the per cent solid at time × (in days) and α, β, ρ the constants to be determined. All of the central nervous system components gave constants of the same order of magnitude.

    Notes: Products of ras genes are synthesized as precursors in the cytosol and transported to the plasma membrane by a process which involves posttranslational modification by fatty acid. In this paper, we present evidence for the occurrence in the cytosol of an intermediate modification of ras proteins prior to the fatty acid acylation. The modification is detected by a slight shift in the mobility of the protein on SDS polyacrylamide gel. The fatty acid acylation does not contribute to this mobility shift. This modification is affected by the dpr1 mutation which has recently been shown to affect the processing of yeast RAS proteins. To further characterize the nature of the modification event, we have cloned DPR1 gene from the DNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene is actively transcribed in yeast cells producing mRNA of approximately 1.6 kb. Genes related to the DRP1 appear to be present in a distantly related yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe as well as in guinea pig and human cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: On décrit la méthode de perturbation du premier ordre en 1/Z, de l'approximation Hartree-Fock généralisée pour les atomes à deux électrons. Plusieurs résultats imprévus en découlent: (a) on prouve qu'il faut développer les orbitales en puissances de Z-1/2 plutǒt qu'en puissances de Z-1; (b) on montre qu'on peut au premier ordre découpler la partie associée à l'approximation Hartree-Fock restreinte; les énergies du second ordre sont donc additives; (c) l'équation qui décrit “l'orbitale de corrélation” au premier ordre admet en générale d'une infinité de solutions de toutes symmétries angulaires; (d) “l'équation de corrélation” au premier ordre est une équation aux valeurs propres linéaire et homogène avec un potentiel non local. Elle contient un paramètre μ et une valeur propre ω(μ), qui peut être interprétée comme l'amplitude de probabilité et l'énergie d'un état virtuel de corrélation. L'énergie de corrélation au second ordre est 2μ2ω.On présente des solutions numériques des “orbitales de corrélations” premier ordre. L'énergie de corrélation approximative au second ordre est presque 90% de la valeur exacte.On décrit la méthode de perturbation du premier ordre en 1/Z pour le développement naturel et von obtient les équations intégro-différentielles couplées du premier ordre. On discute la relation étroite entre les “orbitales de corrélation” du premier ordre de la méthode Hartree-Fock généralisée et les “orbitales de corrélation” naturelles du premier ordre. Une comparaison des résultats numériques aux ceux de Kutzelnigg en confirme la ressemblance.
    Abstract: Die Störungstheorie erster Ordnung in 1/Z der verallgemeinerten Hartree-Fock Approximation für Zweielektronatome wird beschreibt. Mehrere unerwartete Resultate ergeben sich: (a) es wird gezeigt, dass die Orbitale in Potenzen von Z-1/2 eher als in Potenzen von Z-1 entwickelt müssen; (b) es wird gezeigt, dass der Korrelationsteil der Orbitale von dem Teil, der mit der beschränkten Hartree-Fock Approximation beigeordnet ist, losgekoppelt werden kann, so dass die Energien zweiter Ordnung additiv sind; (c) die Gleichung der “Korrelationsorbital” erster Ordnung hat unendlich viele Lösungen aller Winkelsymmertrien; (d) die Korrelationsgleichung erster Ordnung ist eine lineare, homogene Eigenwertgleichung mit einem non-lokalen Potential. Sie enthält ein Parameter μ und einen Eigenwert ω(μ), die als Wahrscheinlichkeitsamplitude und Energie eines virtuellen Korrelationszustands erklärt werden können. Korrelationsenergie zweiter Ordnung ist 2μ2ω.Numerische Lösungen für die Korrelationsorbitale erster Ordnung werden gegeben. Die approximative Korrelationsenergie zweiter Ordnung beträgt fast 90% des exakten Wertes.Die Störungstheorie erster Ordnung in 1/Z der natürlichen Entwicklung wird beschreibt und die gekoppelten Integro-Differentialgleichungen werden abgeleitet. Die nahe Benziehung zwischen den “Korrelationsorbitalen” erster Ordnung der verallgemeinerten Hartree-Fock-gleichungen und den “natürlichen Korrelationsorbitalen” erster Ordnung wird diskutiert. Die Ähnlichkeit wird durch Vergleichung der numerischen resultate mit den numerischen Resultaten Kutzelniggs bekräftigt.
    Notes: The first-order 1/Z perturbation theory of the extended Hartree-Fock approximation for two-electron atoms is described. A number of unexpected features emerge: (a) it is proved that the orbitals must be expanded in powers of Z-1/2, rather than in Z-1 as expected; (b) it is shown that the restricted Hartree-Fock and correlation parts of the orbitals can be uncoupled to first order, so that second-order energies are additive; (c) the equation describing the first-order correlation orbital has an infinite number of solutions of all angular symmetries in general, rather than only one of a single symmetry as expected; (d) the first-order correlation equation is a homogeneous linear eigenvalue-type equation with a non-local potential. It involves a parameter μ and an eigenvalue ω(μ) which may be interpreted as the probability amplitude and energy of a virtual correlation state. The second-order correlation energy is 2μ2ω.Numerical solutions for the first-order correlation orbitals, obtained variationally, are presented. The approximate second-order correlation energy is nearly 90% of the exact value.The first-order 1/Z perturbation theory of the natural-orbital expansion is described, and the coupled first-order integro-differential perturbation equations are obtained. The close relationship between the first-order extended Hartree-Fock correlation orbitals and the first-order natural correlation orbitals is discussed. A comparison of the numerical results with those of Kutzelnigg confirms the similarity.

    Notes: Two different perturbation series (the polarization expansion and a united-atom expansion) of the ground state energy of the delta-function model for one-electron diatoms are studied and the radii of convergence are determined. For both expansions the singularity in the energy which limits the radius of convergence is a branch point with exponent one-half. The physical significance of the branch point is that for particular values of the perturbation parameter, two different energy eigenvalues coalesce. The positions of the branch points are computed as a function of the internuclear separation R. For all values of R, both series converge for all physical values of the perturbation parameters. A lower bound to the radius of convergence of the polarization expansion has been computed previously by Claverie. It is proved in the present paper that the lower bound calculation is in fact an exact determination of the radius of convergence. The results of the model study are applied to real one-electron diatoms to suggest the possible location of a branch point singularity in the energy of the ground state.

    Notes: The relation of the straightforward Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory for the interaction of two atoms to the asymptotic exchange theory is described. The one-electron case of a hydrogen atom perturbed by a nucleus is examined in detail. It is shown that the asymptotic theory contains an infinite summation of terms in the Rayleigh-Schrödinger series. The nature of the branching between states and its implications for convergence is elucidated.

    Notes: Bovine fetuin, the first fetal protein to be described, has recently been shown to be a species homologue of a well known human plasma protein - α2HS glycoprotein (α2HS). The fetuins are now known to be members of the cystatin superfamily. The structural properties of the six fetuins that have been fully sequenced are compared. Despite the structural homology of these proteins, their described properties in the literature make them appear to be quite different. The diverse in vitro properties claimed for fetuin/α2HS are reviewed. In vivo, fetuins are involved in the acute phase response. In development, in all species studied so far, fetuins are present in a specific cell population that forms the developing neocortex. The possible functional significance of this distribution is discussed.
